 Yet some important people were coming home already from the other side.

 Tuxedo remains gay enough. although many of the spring residents are going to the seaside. But as Last as one cottage becomes empty 1t is taken for the sum mer by others And thus is there an ever changing colony. MT. and MT. Rowland Pel are among tho arrivals at Tuxedo for the summer They have taken the cot tage of Mrs Pells mother, Mrs. Freder- ick Galatin. Mir and E1rs. Goelet Gal latin are traveling in Italy, and do plan to get back from. Europe until next winter Miss Pell, the daughter of MT. and Mrs .Howland Pell wil be a debutante of the coming season. Mrs. Pierre Lorillard, Jr., has also arrived at Tuxedo. She will entertain but little this summer. There has been no clue as yet to the thieves who took her jewels on the read to London. MT and Mrs. Henry Poor have been entertaining at Tuxedo this spring, but will go to Bar Harbor later, and the Misses Kane are to be at Narragansett as usual.
 
 Tn spite of the fact that the past week has brought to our shores several Amer leans who are prominent socially and who intend spending the summer in their own country at some favorite resort the fact remains that the smart set are still crowding to London, as is evidenced by the fact that many well-known names are registered at the Carleton and other fashionable hotels in Piccadilly. The req son for this is not far to seek. The per manent American colony in London as we'll ae the seasons invaders are quite aware that the present gayety at the court makes this year propitious one for any social claims they may possess. as the Kings fondness for Americans is we'll known, and he Is always glad to greet and give them helping hand in scaling the social ladder. When one has been "presented" he or she may be said to have arrived, so far as entering the portals of the socially elect is concerned. The King holds broader views on many subjects-among others on the divorce question-than did his August mother. At recent court he even went so far as to receive dvorcee, but when his son, ths present Prince of Wales, ascends the throne, the Americans will not be over welcome, as the present princess is at no pains to conceal her indifference to us, and as she is likely to be more than a figure head when she is queen consort, the prospects are that our country wo- men will not figure so conspicuously dur ing the next reign.
 Sir Thomas Lipton, the gallant owner of the Shamrock, Is no stranger in this city, and the members of the New York Yacht club, individually and collectively, have long Blnce conceded him to be a prince among good fellows. It Is not strange, ther efore that they are await ing his arrival with interest. His pluck in three times challenging for the cup has created much sympathy for him, and 1t Is frequently said ih the club house: ''If we must lose the cup to a challenger we hope the honor will be Lipton's.
