Opens on the Fourth.

Southampton. as well as many other summer places, begins it's season with the glorious Fourth The ciuD houses open that IS. those which have not been open during the entire year-dances are given, and all social summer life IS supposed to be in full swing after the national hol- iday The Meadow club at Southampton gives its first dance the Friday before the Fourth, and another on Fourth of July night, although the latter evening is not so popular, as men prefer to go back to the city by the early train In the evening rather than take the next mornings train. There are many very new people at Southampton this year who have means to entertain. intend to enter tain--and hope to be entertained. There Is also the strong. reliable element of the old Southampton set, and a lot of young people to make things lively. Au- tomobiles by the score have been sent down, in consequence of which distance counts for nothing, and more opportu- nities are furnished for Southampton amusements. That the season will be a gay one Is quite evident.

Newport, of course. claims precedence. went there for a few days and found summer life burstin into bloom. Cottages were deeply interested in the recent visit here of Mir and Mrs. Goelet, but as, naturally, the young people kept much to themselves, little was seen of them by their frineds. They stated, though, in response to numerous inquiries that they would come back and 1t can be stated that many are even now looking forward to the time of their proposed return w1tn many pleas urable anticipations. MT. and Mrs. Goe- let will be in Newport to visit the Tor mer's mother, Mrs. ogden Goelt, during the horse show of early September.

Miss Blanche Ring created something of a sensation at the second anniversary of "The Wizard of Oz,' which was conn memorated last Thursday night at the Grand opera house, Chicago. Miss Ring took the audience by surprise by walk ing abruptly upon the stage in the last act while Messrs. Montgomery and Stone were holding the boards. The two come dians received her with elaborate suayi- ty, Stones unctuousness reaching an as tonishing degree of contortionate polite ness that almost tied him in q knot. He and Montgomery became rivals for the smiles of Miss Ring and carried on the fun until the audience shouted with laughter. They did a cake walk with her that would be worth a princely salary in vaudeville Fred Hamlin, manager Of ''The Wizard of Oz' watched the per- formance from a stage box, and George Ade and other notables were in the au- dience.

 or the outcome of scandal But of late years the chorus girl has been gradually breaking her chrysalis and improving her social status. Julian Mitchell who has
 positive genius for getting together of good-looking chorus of talented slow girls is largely responsible for this modern product. The secret of MT. Mitchells s
 success as stage director lies in the fact that he maintains discipline by treating them with the same deference and respect that he would show the ladies of drawing room. As consequence the show girls in all his productions conduct themselves with the same air and breed ing that they would assume at pink l tea.

There was no doubt about Monac's
