well-known number Of luncheon and dinner parties
and the absence OF other large and more formal en-
,ertainmen,s. Out of door diversions have been
stimulated all along the social lines. Driving has
ten one of the features OF the week. especially In
the afternoons fine roads in Central Park
we'll as Riverside Drive have been crowded With such
n display OF we'll appointed cquirages not
often seen here even at the height Of the season.

riaces and the rich and handsome costumes OF the
women It il generally regretted that the Claremont
tea IS thing OF the past or rather that tie treacher
ous and capricous weather OF year ago left the
promoters little desire 10 attempt reorganization
81 them this season. Not before these pleasant after
Nom teas came into fashion had the many pretty
women in New York Society the opportunity, except
ot some OF the country club meetings. or on
the day OF the coaching parade. to display their
finest spring rament ont OF doors. Mrs. Cooper
Mrs Cruger and their associates who organized the

this late date TO them is due praise for their
ATTITUDE in providing for New-iOrk novel feature
