FLOATING TN
THE SOCIAL SWIM

The hot wave seems to have had a
very depressing effect upon the social
life Of this city. Ones thoughts are
not now on affairs Of large moment
and nothing ambitious has been un-
dertaken in the way of social enter
prises. The beautiful homes of mem
bers of Uppertendom are occasionally
put to the uses Of entertainment but
the chief activity is at the Golf Club
house. The fitting spoken of in last
week IS paper is now nearly over, and
except for occasional visits" it is be-
lieved that most Of the people now
here will remain during the summer.
Wednesday and Thursday the weather
interfered with the thorough enjoy
ment of several small functions, de-
lightful ones, too, and it seems to be
understood now that only affairs of
small magnitude will be the order Of
the day until the open-air horse show
season reaches here.
Mrs. George G.. Frelinghuysen had a
number of guests at two affairs this
week The first was large dinner at
home on Wednesday and this was fol-
lowed on Thursday by cards at the
Golf Club
On the Fourth things will be unusu-
ally quiet at the Golf Club. There
will be few informal dinners, an oc-
casional card OF so, but nothing has
been planned to make the day espe-
cially interesting. Even the fireworks
which have been featured at this place
for several years Will not be in evil
dence this year. This Will be disap-
pointment not alone to the social
colony but to the townspeople as well.
1t has been a source Of annoyance to
the managers Of the club to have had
an unauthorized story published in a
New York paper to the effect that
the display this year would be unusu-
ally brilliant.
Mr.. and Mrs. H. Mex. Twombly and
the Misses Twombly have been at the
"Biltmore, the home of the Wander
bits in Newport, for short time.
They left Newport early in the week
and went to the country place of Mr..
and Mrs Frederick Vanderbilt at
Hyde Park, on the Hudson They
are expected in town tonight, how
ever, and will entertain a house
party over the Fourth. Mr..
Albert H. Vernam during their
absence has been driving their
four-in-hand. Mr.. Nernam put
| in almost the entire day Saturday.
He is an expert whip and it is thought
will be much in evidence at the Horse
Show this year.
At their attractive place, ION the
| Hills" Mrs. John Claflin had large
party of children Saturday. The en-
tertainment provided them was of
that delightful kind that makes her
home so attractive to the young folks.
Mrs. Rudolph Kissel entertained at
dinner last Friday night at Inamere
Farm" The entertainment was one
of her most delightful efforts and was,
Of course, a great success
Miss Alice Nernam had a small din
ner last Saturday night at which the
guests were the Misses Swords, Mrs
A. S. Swords, the Messrs. Behr, Wy.
nant Nanderpool and Marmaduke Til
/ den, jr
They have designated the affair due
tonight at the Golf Club as Family
/ Dance. This will be club affair and
will be rather general in its character
There will be no dinner, but refresh
ments will be served during tile even
! ing. An orchestra of seven pieces viii
/ furnish the music.
Mrs. James Youngblood has decided
to relinquish the joys Of home-life il
Morristown for the future and has de
cided to lease her house, UNFINISHED
