NEW YORK SOCIETY 4.
BY DlEDRlcH kNlckERsockER.

New York, July Ill confess to feel
ing of ''mix-up.' BY this 1 mean bewil-
derment Ny many friends bewilder me.
The gay world-my worlds a sort Of a
merry-go-round. I like 1t when 1t is staid
and conventional. 1t is now all trunks
and valises. Nobody knows where any
body else is to be found. You think Mrs.
So-and-So is In London and you receive
a letter from her dated Lenox or on-the
hudson. Your wire to Mr.. So-and-So at
Newport and his butler wires back Mr..
So-and-So is on the yacht off New Lon
DON People are running from pillar to
post Nobody has any rest In him. Be-
tween the many houses and yachts and
automobiles people have, in this year Of
our Lord, there is one constant move
ment. Well. Mrs. stuy Fish is back.
Back in Newport So is Harry Lehr.
What remarkable pair Of. well,
exceptionally bright people they arel
Took a monkey to tailor and had him
dressed up; then gave dinner. Monkey
guest OF honor. Funny? Not a bit Of 1t.
Reminds me of the dressed doll episode
in front OF the Casino a couple of years
ago. Also a witty and clever perfor-
Harry. Any thing to be talked about.
hear Mrs. Stuy. was not success In
London. Monkey shows and doll exhibit
lions are relegated to vaudeville players
there. 1t is not British humor, you know.
Surprised at Lehr. Before he was mar
ried he had to do things because he was
poor. Wife rich, wife should send Harry
way back and sit down on him.
But Mrs Stuy has an attraction to fill
In the season with after the talk dies out
about the monkey. She has secured
society lion, no l should say lioness. Mrs.
George Law is to be her guest. Funny
Is It not Mrs. Law wasn't anybody until
Law died and left his millions. George
Law has not been missed. His wife was
pretty girl of obscure parentage. NO
body ever heard of her. She went to
Paris She may have been pretty before
she became beautiful. After what the
Parisians did to make Anna Gould
grande dame and a beauty l can expect
anything. 1 suppose Mrs. Law got some
good clothes-pardon me-creations. Well
Mrs Law became the beauty of Paris
grand clothes, grand manners, ETC., met
Mrs Fish. And now Mrs. Fish proposes
to introduce her. Well. she can do 1t.
Mrs. Stuy Is q very clever woman and
very effective social hacker. You must
not be misled by her doll exhibitions
and her ''monkey shows" They are mis-
leading. Mrs. Stuy. Ia very clever wo-
man, an unusually brilliant woman, and
IL she wants to make Mrs. Law the thing
no one can stop 1t. hope she will. Mrs.
Law will arrive in Newport about the
twentieth Her beauty, her wealth, her
entertainments made her leader In Par
is and dozens of men, some with and
some without fortunes and titles, wooed
her in vain She may take cottage II
so I prophesy her success ana ner suy
| in New York next season.
The fashionable event Of the season
at Lenox was the wedding on Tuesday
of Miss Lila Sloane to Mr.. William o.
good Field OF coure 1t went off well
and there was a great family gathering,
but have said so much of this wedding
in anticipation of the event that 1t is I'M
necessary to say anything more. Norman
Whitehouse and his beautiful wife are
In the Catskill Mountains and will go to
Newport later to make visits during the
season. Captain and Mrs. Phillip Lydig
have returned, from Europe. She says
