SOCIETY IN NEW YORK
n, nAneAaEr WATTS DE pErsrEn.

New York. June 10-(Special) With the finishing up of the lnternatonal Polo matches, the Mineola dog show and the social functions which accom- panied these events, the social season so far as New York city itself is con- cerned, may be marked as closed. Empty houses are the rule. in the fashionable sections of the city and that section of society which has not hurr1edsa away to Europe Is now settling itself down at its summer homes and getting it's second breath, so to speak, for the in- auguration of the summer season. Eew1ort, Bar Harbor Long Island and the various other summer resorts of the rich are filling up and preparing for lively time. The big country es- tates in Jersey Connecticut along the Hudson and across the sound really inaugurated the warm season festivi- ties by big house parties over memorial day and from now on they will be full.
 The big hotels have opened their sum- ner garden. The theatres are closing, roof gardens are making ready to open. \ Coaching occupies a large share of amusements of society folk still in town Although no coaching parades twill be held this year, private expedf- tions are numerous and the road coach Magnet, in charge of Morris Howlett, soon will resume its dinner runs be- between the Holland House and Arrow head Inn.
 Except for the entertaining out of town which is of most delightfully."- informal nature as rule, the social calendar contains little else than record of the comings and goings of prominent people.
 MT. and Mrs. George Jay Gould sailed last week with their young children to spend the summer on the other side They will travel on the continent first and not visit England until after the coronation, for Mrs. Gould has no fancy for London crowds and will wait until they leave before passing through on her way to Scotland, where MT. Gould has no fancy greater than taking shooting box for the season. Of course. Lord and Lady Decies will be with them when the grouse attract the fash ionable set to Iverness-shire In Au- gust and I expect we shall hear of the Gouids, like the Bradley Martins, doing their share of entertaining. MT. and Mrs. Gould were accompanied by her cousin, Mrs. William A. Hamilton, and the latter's daughter Miss Hope Hamil- ton.
 Others who have sailed recently for abroad are Mir and Mrs. Gerald Living ston Hoyt and their daughter, Miss. Julia Hoyt, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Mrs. Robert A. Sands and Miss Katherine Sands.
 Mir. and Mrs. August Belmont will sail later this week and Mrs. Cotter r. Huntington, in July.
 Mrs. J. Pierpont Morgan has gone to her country home at Highland Falls. E. Y. for the summer and J. Pierpont Morgan, Jr., and his wife have gone to East Island, Long Island. Mrs. James F. kernochan has gone to her place at Newport to spend the summer as usual, and MT. and Mrs. John R. Drexel. with their son and daughter. have opened their villa for the season. MT and Mrs George s. Scott also have gone to their Bellevue avenue house. It has been greatly improved since last year.
 One of the most interesting enter tainments arranged for polo week was the dinner and dance which MT. and Mrs. Mackay gave at Harbor Hill. their beautiful country place at Roslyn. L. L, or Saturday night in honor of the vis- iting polo team. The dinner hostesses on that evening were Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt. Jr., Mrs. Payne Whitney, Mi s. E. D. Morgan and others socially prominent who took their guests later to a dance at Harbor Hill.
