THE. C0UR3R. 1 rv !k rr fc . ( o-Iaoterns eurmounted the stone pillars of the gateway, and grounds set with twinkling tireHy lights awaited them. In the same rustic style vas the ball given at Ochre Point by Mrs. Ogden Goelet in honor of Mies May Goelet. Here red, the predominant color was emphasized by three thousand poppies, used in connection with three hundred mammouth sunflowers. The hall was wainecoted with the sunflowers, seven feet deep. The poppies garlanded greit sheaves of corn and wheat, tied with crimson ribbon. Even the drawing room palms were brightened with the two shades of harvest Mowers. The piazza decorations, by Hodgson, were especially noticeable the "peasants' repairing hither to take refreshment in a veritable grape arbor, where heavy clusters of fruit hung amid green leaves. On the table vines of pumpkins and Equashes trailed over a cloth of coarse potato sacking in the centre of which rested a pyramid of fruit and vegetables And here the Four Hundred ate from dishes made of squashes, with knives and forks fashioned out of crook-necked squashes and carrots. One of the most available summer en joyments for a denizen of the Salt Creek country, is the serene contem plation of life in a house-boat along the edges of the Lakes. An article in the current Outing takes one on such a cruise, particularly fascinating to prairie folk, and more particularly to those who have such a voyage, past or future, in the said serene contemplation. Here, at all events, is opportunity to consider "The Practical House boat," in all its phases, from the "Blak Rover" of piratical "wharf rats" on Eist River, to the luxurious floating studio Dragon, of Mrs n. V. Snead, the majestic cruis er Alemada, and the more picturesque Japanese craft. Albeit the article has the merit of shortness it includes prac tical suggestions ranging from discus sion of motive power to consideration .of the relative merits of copper, galvanised and tinned heads for tacks UBed to nail the canvas over the decks. All of which particulars interrupt the author, Mr. Charles Ledyard Norton, not in the least in his display of the panorama to be viewed from those gliding observa tion decks which Elip along the head waters of Maine forest streams or moor in the shadow of English poplars or Oriental banyan trees.
