National Affairs: Jardines
Agronomic item from Club-Fellow (reputation monger of the Town Topics school) : "The Secretary of Agriculture, Mr. Jardine, has his family established for the summer at Southampton,* L. I., the first time he or she have [sic] ever deigned to take on a fashionable resort. We are waiting to see how far his official position gets the Jardines into the social life at Southampton!"
* Famed playground for Manhattan's proudest, where charming matrons pose for Sunday supplements in shimmering white creations, white hats, white parasols, where the soughing heather of the Shinnecock Hills creeps cautiously down to the Atlantic billows.
