ance this week to fill the calendar fol
society, beyond Il few small and infor.
NAL affairs. Tho Keswick Horse Show
last week drew number OF Richmond
people 10 Albemarle for several days
and some very lovely entertaining was
given at the country homes i'm that
neighborhood The last of May will see
most or the country places in Virginia
q thrown open for the summer. and mt
many of them the first week in June
Will be observed with II house party of
congenial guests. More and more has
the country house grown in its sgnin-
canoe in the social history OF this coun-
try. and especially in this state. and
the last few years have seen the trans
formation of many historic old places
into grand estates for the prominent
society people. Many of the old homes
have been parted from by their original
owners. but there are yet Il large ma
jority of them where the same families
have lived and entertained and danced
and been married and been gathered to
their fathers for generations past

fairs these next few days. and several
