NEW YORK, Sept. I2.-New York is
resuming its normal appearance, and
there is much cause for rejoicing. II Is
difficult 10 conceive anything more de
pressing than the spectacle which IL
presents in the hot summer months, or
10 imagine anything more gay and
CHEEKY than its aspect when people re-
turn TO town in the fall In fact, the
sight from the windows Of any Of the
smart clubs lining the avenue of the
brilliant and continuous procession to
and fro below Of automobiles and hand
somely appointed equipages. and Of
well-groomed pedestrians. affords one
almost as much exhilaration as the new
est thing in cocktails.
Looking in at Sherry's one day during
the middle Of the week, at the luncheon
hour, one found the big room full Of
well-knOwn people-the same old crowd
many Of them only in town for the
day. but bUsily engaged in exchanging
condolences concerning the experiences
OF the summer and plans for the au-
tumn, so that the noise Of the CONVERSE
ton rose above the ordinary conven-
tiOnaI hum into an almost deafening
buzz. Among those present were sew
eral strangers-titled visitors from Eng
land-inCluding Lord Strawberries dash
ing sister, Lady Augusta Fame. who got
rid of the unfortunate Cecil Fame a few
years ago by a well-earned divorce, and
who has since then devoted most Of her
time to travelling and especially to hunt

popular figure at Melton MOwbray.
where she has shown much hospitality
and friendship TO Americans who take
places there for the hunting. She has
been staying for several weeks past
with friends at Newport and at Lenox,
and has just sailed for England.
Another titled Englishwomau. who
was also lunching there, though at a
different table, was the Dowager Coun-
tess of wicklow, stepmother of the
present earl. who has come over for the
purpose of attending the wedding Of her
son., the Hon. Hugh Melville Howard,
to May Sands, at Southampton, on sat
Urday next. Although she has been
twice widowed-after the death of the
late Lord Wicklow she married the late
Marcus Beresford, a first cousin OF
