The reaction after the royal festivities
in London has come, and though there
are numerous gay companies, as there
is always bound 10 be while Parliament
is in session: STILL the season, on the
whole. may be considered dead one.
Society has decided, however. that Par
lament or no Parliament. Il is going out
OF town on "the twelfth" and house
parties are already being made up for the
pheasant shooting in September. This
grumblng over staying In town is a good
deal Of farce. as the season is pract-
cally over. People turn up for any big
entertainment. but except in the semi
political clubs. the club attendance Is
small. and the seaside pieces. like Brigh-
ton, are well filled, while the race courses
have an excellent crowd. Some idea Of
how society Is on tho wing can be had
from the following items concerning its
various leaders:
The Duke and Duchess Of Devonshire.
Lord and Lady Cadogan, Prince Solty-
kof'. the Duchess Of Montrose and .ir.

has the effect of breaking up the most
enchanting game of euchre.
