THE LATEST NEWS ‘The silly season has not develcped the regulation number of will-o’-the-wisps, but there fs no knowl: g what brand of de- lrlum may be the outcome of another week of heat such as the past, during which Washington and old Sol were on such particularly affectionate terms. The week witnessed the departure of those in the cabinet circle, who have braved the scorching heat here all summer. The Her- berts will have a jolly week before settingy sail for Europe, and will be repaid for their long stay in town. Miss Herbert will enjoy a few glimpses of Newport gay life before she goes aboard the big American liner. As she does not have the same need to hurry back as her fathor, it is ro more than prob- able that she will remain much longer and cross the ocean when the great tide of travelers turu their facos homeward in the autumn. Postmaster General and Mrs. Wil- scn are starting with the idea of giving two months to the journey. Of the merits or demerits of Washington as a summer residence there is no couple better able to speak than Secretary anid Mrs. Corlisle. Gencrally they have nothing but good words to say, but the past weck triéd their fortitude considerably, and the time seemed long until they could get away. Secretary Carlisle says that his idea of @ summer vacation for a public man is to go where even the sound of the human veice would be but seldom heard—deep into the wilderness, with creature comforts pos- sible, but no luxuries or frills to disturb ore’s mind from peaceful rest. The aver- ege summer hotel, no matter where or how desirably located, will not fill the bill for him, for he is a soclable being, wants to talk, and thereby defeats the very argu- ment he uses in the necessity for rest. After a little stay at Gray Gables Mrs. Carlisle will likely visit also at the home of the Misses Hamlin. The death a few days ago in New York of Mrs. Hicks-Lord recalls the winter that she spent in this city, when her appear- ance at social events, notably at the White House levees, always called forth so many comments on her elaborate toilets, and es- pecially for the number and magnificence of the gems with which she decked herself. An evening is recalled when her passage through the state parlors was almost im- Possible because of the guests crowding about to catch even a fleeting giimpse of her fine lace, as well as diamonds, of which 80 much had been written. Probably the value of her diamonds was overrated, but certainly the number was not. A splendid white satin or silk dress, which was the background for all the ornamentation, was worn by Ler on this occasion. The skirt was crossed in front by deep falls of ex- quisite lace, and at intervals a diamond shone in the heading. She wore all the regulation diamond ornaments—in her hair, earrings ard necklace, corsage ornaments and btacelets, and to cap the climax the fan she carried had sparks of light flash- ing from it with every movement. On the whole, her gorgeovs attire was a revela- tion to those who had not been accustomed to see a New York woman with liberal tastes and purse array herself. As most of her social laurels were won as Mrs. Hicks, she used that as well as the name of her last husband, after the death of the latter. In despair of having people to talk about the revolution in feminine attire 1s a fre- quent topic. It looks as if big sleeves will have to go. All the models in the fashion papers and especially in those latest from the French capital, have very mild cases of puffed sleeves, while many of the tailor-made ef- fects, particularly those intended for rid- ing, driving, cycling or other out-of-door sports, hi come back to the old-time fashion which exactly follows the contour of the arm. Tight as it looks, however, and it does not seem to have an inch of waste material in its formation, it never can be like what it was before the glorious freedom which big sleeves allowed came to be en *yed. The tight sleeve of wretched memory impeded the circulation and made any free use of the arm or energetic move- ment of the body well nigh impossible. “It made the hands look twice as large and the whitest flesh under a thin muslin as- sumed the unesthetic rosiness of a boiled lobster. The tight sleeve was a nuisance and yet It was endured for a while, as were trained street dresses, big bustles, pull- backs and cther forms of feminine adorn- ment. The wheel has revolutionized the ordinary system of women’s attire since the big sleeves came. In fact they repre- sent two features of the new woman's de- velopment, and it hardly seems possible that any retrograde movement would go with this generation. Scarcely any one thinks cf riding a wheel now without be- ing eppropriately dressed for it, and so let it be hoped that with the decadence of the exaggerated big sleeve there will be left a common-sense medium size which will drape the feminine arm in proportion to the rest of the makeup. The fall model for the sleeves of silk or worsted dresses fits the arm closely above the elbow, elther plainly or with wrinkled folds. The upper part is a short puff, gen- erally very much caught up to the shoulder, or the same short, bunchy effect fa secured through two or three lapping frills or lace sewed round the arm hole or falling from the shoulder trimming. It only takes a very short examination of the models to prove that it will not be necessary next fall to buy three or four yards extra for the sleeves. In the tailor-made outing cos- tumes the generally accepted style is that of three years ago in this couniry—enough fullness at the top to make a stylishly broad effect across the shoulders. A young lady who is just back from Paris wore a pretty light summer silk one day re- cently, which emphasized the return to slightly trained skirt and small sleeves. Silk ruffles edged with lace made a becom- ing fullness over the shoulders, but the sleeve fitted snugly. A deep fall of the lace fell over the wrist. The skirt fitted smooth- ly around the hips, had no extra fullness around the front hem, but fell into a slight- ly rounded train at the back. Mrs. Calvin 8. Brice needed only a few day's rest at Beaulieu, her Newport estab- Nshment, before resuming the elegant style of hospitality for which the Brices are now famous. Senator and Mrs. Brice enjoy the pleasures and gayeties of life much more than the average wealthy folks. Their home, with its retinue of secretaries and servants, {s as well managed as a great hotel, but mainly because of the executive ability Mrs. Brice displays in its superin- tendence. Fresh now from the attractions of a London season and a presentation at court, the family has few laurels worth the winning in the social line. Mrs. Brice on gala occasions wears many and superb d‘a- monds. Her diamond tiaras, for she has several of them, would attract attention anywhere. It is just possible, however, that the quantity of fine gems she wears now does not begin to give her the pleasure she expertenced in the unexpected posses- sion of Ler first dlamond brooch. It is told by a friend that years ago, when Mr. Brice Was a young lawyer, with a small practice, end that, little as it was, only kept up by the most strenuous exertions, that he was aeked one day by some capitalists who had a scheme on hand, for which the outlook was extremely dubious, to give them some advice how to proceed. The pressure for Mr. Brice's services was not such but that theerequest gave him considerable surprise. He jumped at the idea, put his keen wits to work and succeeded so well in manipu- lating the deal that the whole venture was @ financial stroke with large figures at- tached, and the projectors paid him haad- somely for his work. Not content with that, they wanted to show him their per- sonal and deputed one of their, number to buy a diamond brooch for Mrs. Brice. This was probably the very first diamond ornament she owned, and her pleasure and gratification in her husband's success were symbolised in it. Some extremelf fastidious travelers and hetel porch habitues are exciting them- setves dreadfully over the prevalence of 1 the bicycle woman in her abbreviated skirt and at the ts t ‘They think these a and proper on the w’ @ lady rarely continues to. wear a riding hatit after she mount pert com- pany, why sho be constiered that cycling dresses rrect- all-day wear? Of' course they but iat the interests of common sense the custom is far and away fashion which obliged 8 many changes af attire each day as the condition of one's/‘trunks would permit, and it was a woman indeed who dared to present herself too frequently in the same toltet. horrors of bloom- ers these critics sWnply speechless, and the great majority of folks seem to be with them. The little Queen of Siam could give her sex a few pol ‘son bloomers, as that lady, while she hi Bie such parts s il European dress a6 sits her fancy, holds by the distinctively native style of Turkish trousers. ‘These Siamese draperies are regular knickerbockers, made of soft silks, and are worn by the patrician ladies of that land. The queen, who has an inde- pendent turn of mind, probably wears the trousers because she likes them best, but her little feet are incased in pretty slippers with high French heels, and her bodice is made on the easy, comfortable lines of the regulation dressing sacque. Her sons have recently gone to England to complete their education. They already wear the eorrect European dress and will hardly see as oddly an attired female as their own mother until they return to her again. An independent young woman of ‘means, who has done the customary round of for- eign travels—the great capitals in their fashionable seasons, as well as every place eise where Americans are likely to be found, went abroad lately bent on an en- tirely difrerent way of spending her leisure. She had no acquaintance of rank in Lon- Gcn, so she answered the advertisement of an English woman living in an unexcep- tionable locality at the English capital, who wanted “paying visitors.” The scheme has proven an extremely satisfactory answer to an old problem.y ‘The American wanted to see Vanity Fair as a participant, and her English hostess, who had an excellent post- tion in its charmed precincts, was quite willing to show {t to her and at the same time make an’ easily-earned addition to her means, which would otherwise be MUmited. In this particular case references were exchanged in the most matter-of-fact and business-like style, and the English chaperon fulfilled her part of the obliga- tion just the same way. It is not en- tirely a new industry among English ladies of title and small incomes, but it used to4 ‘be thought that the negotiations leading up to the matter should be conducted sub rosa, because publicity, however slight, might ruin the whole success of the scheme. Now-a-days, however, these cher- ished and much-to-be-desired guests are advertised for, just the same as are needed clients in any other profession or business end the results seem to be just as satisfac- ory. Mrs. Rudolph Kauffmann and daughter have returned from Europe. Mrs. Jules Guthridge went to New York today to join her husband, and will spend a month with him near that city at some pleasant point.

WASHINGTON G Zealous Enthusiawm Shown in the In- terestlag Services. Correspondence of The Evening Star. WASHINGTON GROVE, Md., August 8, 1896. * The zeal of the Christian workers’ gather- ed here ts weather-proof, for notwithstand- ing the unabating heat the attendance is excellent, and a spirit of deep earnestness pervades all tke services of the sanctuary. Rev. 8S. M. Hartsock of Ryland Chapel arrived in camp yesterday morning, and preached at morning service, closing his stirring appeal upon the text, “By grace ye are saved.” The holiness meeting at 3 p.m. in the Y. P. temple was deeply im- pressive, and the children’s service at the same hour was well attended by a goodly number of adults, At the twilight vesper service the presid- ing elder called fer volunteers to serve on a lIcokout commitiee to meet the incoming trains and visit the remote cottages and in- vite people out to the tabernacle meeting. A score or more responded, mainly young people trom Ryland Chapel, who will look after all strangers in camp. Rev. J. K. Sneider of Baltimore, who has been recently recuperating at Mountain Lake, arrived, with his family, in camp In the late afternoon, and put up at the Al- bany. This aggressive and enthusiastic young evangelist has oratorical gifts, and knows how to put things so that they will stick in the memory. He spoke with di- vine unction at the evening service upon the Unchangeable Christ, and the congre- gation that assembled in the auditorium was the largest since the beginning of the services, and the spiritual pulse of the camp was mightily quickened by the 4 tense earnestness of this consecrated min- ister of God, and two penitents sought Christ at the altar during this service. Mr. William Palmer sang w:th pathos “The Best Friend You Have is Jesus,” and the full chorus took up the joyous refrain. This meeting closed with a halleluia so- cial and general handshaking, and every- body retired to rest enthused with the spirit of kinship in Christ. ‘The Sabbath will be an eventful day here, and a spiritual feas: has been pro- vided. Dr. H. R. Naylor and W. R. Strick- len will preach during the day, and Rev. J. K. Sneider will conduct a revival serv- ice at night. The usual Sunday trains will stop at the Grove and the Baltimore and Ohio will see to it that the train service is ample and comfortable. Provision for the inner man is accumulating in the various larders of the local hostelries, and the market place this morning was early a scene of activity ‘and eager dealing, and the stalls were rapidly depleted. Every co.tager is hospitably astir, and the offi- cial board are sparing no effort to be ready fer the comfortable reception of tomor- row’s throng of visitors. Mrs. Stricklen and daughter, Miss Maud, arrived today ard are staying at the Hotel Albany. The Wilson cottage on Grove avenue is being overhauled and fitted out for the family of Mr. Jesse Wilson, who is expect- ed to arrive from Asbury Park this even- ing, to remain in camp until tts close. Miss Iva J. Martin of 633 G street south- west is at Sunset cottage, the guest of her friend, Miss Sadie White. Miss Grace Altschu of 2d avenue will leave the Grove on Monday for a much- needed rest, which will be spent at Asbury Park. Mrs. George Baird and child of Wilming- yesterday and are vis- iting Mrs. Owens of 2d avenue. ‘The Kilgour cottage is being opcned for the reception of the family, who will ar- rive in camp this evenipg Mrs. Amanda Knight of Washington is enjoying the camp as a guest of Mrs. John Wade, at the corner of 5th avenue and the circle. Rev. Charles Pate of North Capitol charge will occupy the pulpit at the Satur- day evening service. Robberies Reported. W. A. Fraser, employed at St, Eliza- beth’s, complained to Inspector Hollin- berger this morning that $355 was stolen from his trunk between here and Norfolk July 28. A set of harness was stolen last night from the stable in the rear of 1620 11th street. A sneak thief entered the house of Wm. Hunter, 1212 U street, last evening, and stole a pocket book, containing $3 and a Jadies’ gold ring, with garnet and diamond sets, a n chain, with a $2.50 gold colu attached, and a silver bracelet.

Bullard of A WOMAN'S VIEW Atlantic City Regarded From a Femi- nine Standpoint. Tt IS EMINENTLY SATISPACTORY Pen Pictures of the Summer City by the Sea. INTERESTING CHAT Correspondence of The Evening Star. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., August 6, 1896. The llttle French fable in which the melon complains of being relegated to the kitchen while the rose, “that utterly use- less creature,” is allowed to adorn the par- lor, might well be used as an anwser to the croakers who fail to see anything good in this most attractive of all the sea- shore resorts, or to discover the cause of its popularity. “Je charme, dit la rose.” And so might this favored spot reply, “I charm!" Yes; with the charm of air, and sea, and sky—the breezes laden with health, the waves bounding with the joy springing from the bosom of nature and the skies beaming with the smile of Deity, while our hearts swell with the consciousness of the brotherhood of humanity that sways and surges with and through the exuberant thousands who tread the boulevard of the world, the always alluring board walk, which, if ever legislated out of existence, would wipe Atlantic City from the buile- tin board and overcome us all with the wherenesa of the what. Harmicss to the Multitude. Studying it from a woman’s standpoint, with its limited horizon, and from every other point of the compass, I have reached the conclusion that no one can be hurt morally, socially, sanitarily or intellectual- ly by a sojourn here. The devil is not so black, or else much blacker, than he is painted, black enough, however, to serve as a bogie-boo to the infantile or Mephisto- pheles to the wary and unwary; but if he is here it is simply because he is ubiqul- tous, and so are his worshipers. Our Sa- vior found Satan on the mountain, and the saints may discover him here, but he is really not in evidence. Lounging in the pavilions, loafing on the board walk and perambulating the beach, a self-constituted detective, as good fortune brings me hither from time to time, I have utterly faited to discover a single infraction of the Ten Com- mandments. One's ear is sometimes shock- ed by the queer grammar, vulgar idioms, loud laughter and boisterous behavior, which is rather exceptional, but nothing which could be classed as viciously rude, vulgar or depraved; nothing to shock the moral sense, and very little that is dis- tasteful from a convention! or aesthetic standpoint. Decorous Sammer Girls. And so with the eye; occasionally we may view censoriously, perhaps hypercritically, what appears to be too familiar romping, Lut instances of this kind are rare, and the summer girls who flock to this shore ap- pear to be quite as decorous and circum- spect as their more affluent sisters of the 400 who inhale the aristocratic atmos- phere at Newport, some of whom, if we can put any faith in press illustrations,wore Greus rigs on their wheels last summer. Nothing of the kind is seen here. So far I have discovered nothing risque in bathing attire. Very few stunning or extravagant ccstumes are seen. It takes an uncommon- ly fine face and figure to appear above mediocrity in bathing attire, after tempting the waves. Of course, the females who Gress for the beach only, and they are not a few, get all of the exhibition and dubious admiration for which they bid, but nous autres—Well, don’t turn a kodak on us! We cll look alike in our bathing suits, even variations of manner and language disap- pear as we dip in the briny, and it i “oh!” and “ah!” and “here comes anothe as we spring to meet the bounding surf, or find ourselves hors de combat in its non- respecting grasp. Mrs. Grundy may be anding on the beach, and doubtiess is, but Who cares; we are “in it,” and just frisk and flounder like children. The man who in- vented surf bathing should haye a monu- ment. Circus Antics on the Beach. To be candid, I must cite one instance of beach behavior which rather shocked some ot us last Sunday. While the Salvation Army was holding & cornet and banjo en- tertainment- near the pier, about twenty yards further up the shore, a young wo- man was entertaining a group of compan- ions by going through some gymnastic Syrations which rather rivaled the pranks with which the clown makes his entree into the circus ring. This performance, while vulgar, was not wicked. Probably the girl had only the courage of her con- victions and thought if such evolutions are admissible before gymnasium audicnces they are equally proper before a larger public, so we threw the mantle of charity over the exhibition and concluded that she with her male assistants were a family group airing their private accomplishments. This, with an old woman, fat and who carries a “‘speak-easy” in the v cus folds of her corsage, was all one could discover to support the impression that Atlantic City is “nice because it’s naughty Those who hold to this view are invited to come and “—beard the lion fn {ts den, The Dougias in his hall.” Ard if you do, be sure to take a train that will bring you over the Delaware river bridge route.’ The Pennsylvania railroad has scored another vote of thanks In offer- avail themselves of its always courteous avail themselves of its always courtnous treatment, enabling us to avold the crush at the ferry and the tncommodious, if not weary, wait at Camden, by transporting us around and above the city, skirting Fair- mount Park, passing through Germantown and other suburban places, and finally re- galing us, from the airy height of the bridge, with the refreshing breezes of the river and the charming coup d'oell of its banks. Try it if you wish to jot down a green spot in your memory. Tariffs Like Temperatere. August is not the most economical month in whicn to terry here. The Bonifaces all begin to calculate on a 31 to 1 ratio, and their rates increese in geometrical progres- sion. The newsboys even follow suit, and even the soda water man when you tender him the Washington tariff for your favor- ite tonic has the audacity to silently push a ten-cent check at you, although you have spread out a nickel to his ignoring gaze. All that was left over of the Midway Plaisance at Chicago still holds its own here, but the city council carefully roots out any objectionable features. The chutes, toboggans and bazaars thrive and flourish, but socially there are but few attractions; an occasiona: hop at a hotel is offered a sop to cerberus. The Rudolph. which holds a full-dress bail tonight, has counted mong its guests that jolly pagan mission- ary, Bob Ingersoll. Many Washingtonians are here seeking health and rest. At the Traymore G.

The third Friday in each month will be devoted to these disctissions, and the public are invited to participate. Speakers of both sides will be selected, # the meetings will undoubtedly be interest- ing.
