or course, Mrs. Patrick Campbell came
FIRST OF everything last week and those who
did not see her talked about her-had to
talk about her. in fact. for everybody"
went. And after Mrs. Campbell came the
openings, and the openings were so en-
gaging, and more than that, too. for there
are things ahead for society and the woman
who would hold her own has had to have
a thought for what she is to wear. So a
good part Of the week has been spent
studying models, and then trying to carry
them In the mind until a convenient time
for putting them on paper. In fact, "stren-
uous' is the only word to express it, aq~
cording to the women themselves, for there
has never been a time when society was
more interested in things to wear, which
Is saying a great deal. And with all Of
this, there has been the regular round OF
teas and dinners and luncheons and card
parties, which, by the way, have been far
more numerous than is generally known,

adays Is bound to see to 1t that the per-
sonnet Of her company does not become
generally known.

Perhaps the. most seriously discussed
subject among the fashionables OF late Is
the prospective Horse show. Not since the

tonable success Of this sort OF occasion.
They are scarcely anticipating II more than
the men. however, and II is said that new
gowns, and handsome ones at that, are COM
ing easier this spring than for many a sea-
son past. There are to be gowns and gowns
and gowns, different ones for every appear
ance, and this is the secret OF some OF
the numerous trips to Chicago Of late
though, Of course, much Of this fnery will
not be delivered much before the week Of
the horse show, probably some time in Sep
