Miss Alice Roosevelt, after q series of
northern visits has returned to Oyster Bay.
just in time to receive a new girdle sent
her by the Amateur Athletic Union in com
pliment to her attendance at the annual
meeting, June 4. when, in spite of the bad
weather, she kept her appointment and
presented to the happy victors at the vari-
Gus games the medals they had won. The
buckle fastening her red white and blue
girdle Is composed Of set of three gold
medals, similar to those earned by the win
ners, and connected by gold f1eur de lis.

is not expected that Miss Roosevelt will
stay home long. for she Is promised for
other visits that will cover the next two
months and more.
The curtain-raisers at Newport this sum-
mer seem to be In charge Of the same
hands, as Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish. Mrs. Her.
man Oelrichs and Mrs. Reggie Vanderbilt
have pre-empted the last days of this
month. Mrs. Oelrichs has dinner invita-
tons out for the 10Th. the same night that
the Vanderbilts have selected for their
Sandy Point farm dinner and dance, but
guests asked by the first hostess can get
to the cotillion by midnight with the great
est ease. With the automobile set a dis
lance Of five miles or so is mere trifle,

self from Newport as 1t was feared she
might after her philosophical essays last
summer on society in general, and the New
port brand in particular, and her dinner
party Is to be followed by vaudeville per-
Torrance. This combination for a nights
amusement Is not new, either, but the vari-
pensable If the affair is to be talked Of
afterward. merry war Is said to be
starting at Newport, and the survivors will
be present at the golf club ball shortly.
The favored number In society Is to be cut
down to 200 A committee of forty whose
names seem to include all the familiar
ones is getting up the event. Each man
has five tickets, and he Is responsible for
their proper placing. 1t will certainly sim
plify matters greatly If the 200 selections
leave out no person that any of the COM
mittee considers necessary for his social
happiness, but when that limited aggre-
cation of exclusives get tired of each other
and want the sensation that comes with
new blood. well, what then? The bars
usually drop sooner or later after the right
full amount of push is exerted, and the New
port 200 is not likely to last as long as the
McAlIister 400 If 1t did entertaining In
large and conspicuous scale would soon
cease altogether, and that Is about as
likely as that the always rich or the newly
rich will dispense with any or all OF their
envied prerogatives. -
