CASTLE CRAG, CaL, July 24.—The week has been one round of jollity. 1he weather has been delightfully cool and guests and host | have contrived alike to make the time pass pleasantly.

Al- len, 8 J Allen',n'mn Al- Continued on rage Twenty-Ont i Mrs. Whitney Palache, child and ; The lazy-stepping summer days give nervous restless humanity a cbance to pause and perchance enjoy the beauties of mountain glade or shell-strewn beach. Nature ingeniously takes the ariificial inhabitants of this mundane mass, and tenderly wooes their tired brains, weary hearts and worn-out bodies back to new efforts, lighter happiness and renewed vigor. Like all selfish, ungrateful and thought- less descendants of Adam, we glory in trying our neighbor’s temper and ourown by a constant system of petty complaints and senseless predictions. When will we learn to recelve stoically the gifts of the seasons and the capricious changes of the elements? When will mankind begin to instil into the younger generations the power of divine patience with evervthing that is sent to them by the divine power? The wise poet who jotted down the now time-worn lines— Man's a fool ! When ’tis hot, he wants it cool; When ’tis cool, he wants it ho; Ne'er contented with his lov"— Knew what he was writing about. Ouve of the most charming men 1 know has a unique and original way of express- ing himself on a sweltering day, thusly: “By jove, thisis a cool afternoon! How did youn like the snowstorm this morn- ing?* Of course one laughs at the droll conceit, but in a trice the air seems refreshed, and one forgets that the mer- cury is rising every hour; such is the subtle power of suggestion. All the Eastern summer resorts are filled to overflowing, and in consequence the swagger set have disappeared off the Avenue, Boulevard, Riverside and Park drives. However, there are a great many hundreds ot thousands of people in New York who wouldn’t leave the town if they could, because, entre nous, there isn’t a lovelier summer resort within a thousand miles than this very Gotham town. Say what they will about the tew days of prostrating heat (it is disagreeable while it lasts), but it doesn’t take a half hour to board one of the excursion boats that steam about the beautiful harbor and up the peaceful Hudson, where cool breezes are always blowing. And ob, the roof-gardens, the easino in Centfal Park, the picturesque River- side drive, where sweet music throbs and swells from sunset until the witching hours of night. Who would not linger in this modern Babylon? I confess that home comforts are preferable to country boarding conundrums or playing guest to an o’er anxions host, and yet upon my little escritoire now lie a dozen invita- tions to sylvan homes and seaside cot- tages. I wonder whether I am really un- appreciative of my thoughtful friends. On Monday night every available Cal- ifornian in town was invited to attend :he vgrand midsummer production of ‘Cap- | tain Cook,””” written and comvosed by two San Franciscans, Sands W. Forman and Noah Brandt. Several thousand people attended the opening night, and had it not rained in torrents at 8 o'clock 1000 more wou!d have paid their good money and have been bored like the majo ity of us were. Dear old Queen Liliuokalani sat in state at the end of the great amphitheater and tried to appear very much pleased at the noise | tiat reached her earsever and anon. She iooked quite handsome in a mauve silk gown and a delicate diamond tiara in her black bair. She is much thinner than she was a couple of years ago. I found my- seli gazing intently at her, instead of the ridiculous counterfeits of pretty Kanaka girls that were standing about the large stage posing and trying to sing when their cue came. Only now and then a bit of the dialogue floated to my straining ears, and after a couple of flat phrases caught that way I concluded to save my sense of hearing for something more prof- itable, so forthwith I caught nothing but sweet strains of very good music and a couple of well-rendered solos from a good- looking tenor and a graceful contralto. Mr. Brandt’s music 1s delightful, full of color and romance and a savor of classic dignity. One or two of his dances are worthy a place with Saint Saens’ and Moszkowsky’s compositions. Mr, Forman has surely not done himself proud in the weak attempt he has made in dialogue and dramatic action. New York demands more than a rehash of its own old jokes. It is 100 bad, but at present it looks as though *‘Captain Cook” was doomed to a short existence. The gentlemen who mounted the piece were illy advised. W. F. Verdenal, the genial and widely known writer and correspondent, left for the Pacific Coast on Wednesday. He an- ticipates remaining in California about six weeks visiting relatives add friends. Since Commodore Henry Gillig’s return to America recently Mrs. Gillig has had er hands full entertaining their guests in heir princely home, *La Hacienda,’’ at Larchmont Manor. At present they have a number of Californians in their house party. These are William Northrope Cowles, but recently returned from avbroad, R. Weil and Mr. Bailin, all of San Francisco. Commodore and Mrs. Gillig are among the most prominent and popu- lar summer residents in the exclusive set at Larchmont. Mrs. Gillig's handsome gowns are re- marked, and as she has not looked so pretty and sprightly for several years as the does now, ’tis not to be wondered at that she is admired greatly. The gown Mrs. Gillig will wear at the Race Night ball givea by ths Larchmont Yacht Club, on Tuesday, is a wonderfal imported creation of black silk tulle, liter- ally covered with pearl embroidery. Mrs. Crocker isnow with her daughter, Mrs. Gillig, and will doubtless remain until late in the fall. It is more than prob- able that the Gilligs will purchasea house in New York and settle permanently. They are looking for a desirable place and should they find it they wiil doubtless en- tertain considerably during the winter. James P. Dunne stopped at the Impe- rial a few days this week. Mrs. J. F. Farley and Mrs. A. B. Steele, who have been stopping at the New Neth- erland since their arrival from California, left there on Baturday to stop with friends on West Seventy-third street. W. B. Bourn, a popular San Frinciscan, is a guest at the Netherland, and as he is here solely on business, his stay in New York is rather indefinite. Bert R. Hecht is at the Holland. Mr. and Mrs. W. K. Whittier passed through New York recently and stopped at the Holland. They anticipate remain- ing in the East for some time to come. J. de Ia Montague, who arrived from France last week and started for California Thursday evening, had quite a disagree- able experience during his stay in New York. By an unfortupate accident he lost his pocket-book containing consider- able money, his railroad tickets a_nd sev- eral valuzble papers. He advertised for them in a number of newspapers, but as far as can be learned he did not recover them. . £ Mrs. Scott Cooper (nee Miss Fannie Spencer) left town about a week °gO to pay a visit to her mother, Mrs. W. Miller of Stockton. Mrs. Cooper will provably remein in California until autumn. Scott Cooper is negotiating with {a _prommem manager here and will most likely play a very important Gotham engagement early in the season. Ona warm day last week I met the charming actréss and woman, Mrs. Sarah Stevens, who 1s well known on the local stage in San Francisco, as well as all over the Western cosst. She used to be called the “beautiful Sally Stevens”’ when she was a great Eastern favorite many years ago. She married the famous pugilist, Jobn C. Heenan, and went West with bim. She was only a girl when he died, but she has been true to the memory of big- hearted John,and with his love held sacred in her heart she acted on, living almost entirely in the past and still re- taining the delicate and refined features of the *‘beautiful Sally Stevens.” 9 Mrs. Stevens anticipates remaining the rest of the summer at Mount Vernon, with very dear friends. She will very likely remain in New York next season to playin a new production, which will be presented at one of the leading theaters. Fred C. Siebe of San Franciscois a gueat at the Hoffman. : Mr. and Mrs. Lester Peck, direct from San Francisco, are still atthe Hoffman; they arrived about a week ago. William Swanson of Los Angeles isa recent arrival in this city of vigorous thunder showers. J. R. Howell irom San Francisco is a re- cent arrival. James Waldere Kirk, the young man from Colorado who has been given so much notoriety by the New York press in the character of a fnll-fledged dude, is now haviug a glorious time down at At~ lantic City. Mr. Kirk had arranged to sail for Europe two weeks ago, but somehow he concluded that bathing in the biue salt waves was far better than bounding over them at this time of year, and the pleasant com- panionship of friends far more preferabls than the indifferent stare of foreigners who wou!d not appreciate his originality and individuality. Mr. Kirk has hac apartments at the im- perial ever since his arrival in New York, acouple of months ago, and he has re- ceived flattering attention from the chap- piesand leading club men. Heisa very interesting young gentleman, unmarried, devoted to his mother, who is an invalid, has quiet, unassuming manners and is quite contrary to the general impression one forms from the newspapers’ lurid de- scriptions of his dudish and foppish at- tire and behavior. Mr. Kirk is well known in California, He spant a2 great part of last year at San Diego, Santa Monica and San Fran- cisco. He formerly was a traveling agent for a large cigar firm, but successful min- ing ventures have decided him never to return to cigar selling. BSome one has been cruel enough to hint that Mr. Kirk is really searching for a rich wife,. Why shaqldu’t he? Don't impoverished counts and princes and dukes of foreign extrae- tion come over here and steal our heir- esses? I think we should encourage fine young Americans with slim purses to - court their wealthy American sisters and thus keep our precious American dollars on this side of old ocean’s bleak shores. I would suggest that a poor young man should seek a wealthy bride and a wealthy man love none but a poor woman. At the Savoy are Miss Mary L. Phelan and maid, Miss Small and W. J. Kelley of San Francisco. TRELLA ForLTz TOLAND. 34 Park row. XEW TO-DATY] Midsummer Snaps. Beginning this week we shall hold a number of Special Sales to reduce our_stock.
