The new negro golf club ought already to be
able to find many skilful members. and two or
three summer resorts could supply recruits
who would add distinction to the clubs repu-

boys who acted as caddies developed remark

The reports that Marie Dressler had been
compelled to resign from q fashionable gym
nasium because the other women members
objected to bathing in the Same tank with an
actress are believed to be erroneous. Miss
Dressler may have resigned from or discon-
tinued visits to the gymnasium. and doubtless
1t was at the suggestion OF the other women
members that she took the step. But their
action can, well enough. be unde rstood by

Emma Eames arrived from Europe with
the Same dachshund that used to disturb
the proprietor Of her hotel and caused her
considerable distress during the first days Of
her stay here two years ago. On one point the
new hotels are firm They will not receive
dogs. Sarah Bernhard once thought herself
very badly treated because the Gilsey House
refused to shelter q leopard or some other
exotic pet which she was at that time carrying
about with her. Now she would never be able
to get it into the most accommodating OF the
