Viewpoints social cup this week has been
full to the very brim The pressure even of
a falling rose leaf would have caused it to
overflow. The overcrowding, of events was
due more to mismanagement and freaky
weather than to anything else. Tennis
owing to the national tournament at the
Casino. had the call. The polo matches
too, continued throughout the week. There
were two balls, that given by MIR. Penn
broke Jones for her daughter Sadie and the
affair at Fort Adams in honor Of the officers
of the North Atlantic fleet. There was also
the run of the Monmouth county hounds
and a Casino dance. Mrs. Cornelius Van
derbilt and Mrs. William Aston gave their
first formal dinners. An elaborate lawn play
and dance was held at Villa Rosa by Mrs.
Rollins Morse. In addition there were
more than a dozen large dinners. the total
of activities being far in excess of the entire
showing of July.
The national tennis tournament at the Ca
sno brought out the largest entry list in
the history of the associa ton, but notwith-
standing the high order of the stellar sport
the gowns were the thing. No other single
event brings out such CONNECTIONS from the
old and new worlds. Consequently milliners
and modistes from all the large cities are
always on hand to gain new ideas.
Polo, as usual, beginning earlier and last
ing later, had to take secondary place
and the same was true of the fox hunts. 1t
is simply impossible to put 2. f. Collier
down and out. Just the doctors had
posted an official bulletin that the veteran
was out of hunting and polo for the season
because of his recent severe accident the
publisher kicked his bed out from under him
and went over and took charge of the
bereaved villa of Thomas F. Walsh.
The program is being rapidly formulated
Tor Old Home week, beginning September.
H. 1t is forty-six years since such a cele-
bration was held, so some think the half
century should be rounded out before it is
attempted. The first day will be called
Perry day, for the naval hero, which calls
for a seamen's parade and illumination.
Tuesday will be devoted to sports, including
a clambake for old residents at Easton's
beach Wednesday is to go to trade pro-
cession. Thursday is for the army and
militia parade. Friday and Saturday are
still blank, and may remain so In order to
give visitors chance TO recuperate.

sister of Mrs Alfred G. Vanderbilt, have
