American hostesses played a greater part
in entertaining than they do today.
Whitelaw Reds death was great
blow to society. His doors were always
open. He and his family had the social
gift in its highest development. ana tney
contrived to mingie what Is most as
tinguished In London society with what Is
most interesting.
The present United States Ambassador,
although sterling man. is not In the
-Four Hundred" and is simple demo-
crat: the result is that his house Is not
the center OF entertainment, and the re-
fex action Of this Is very evident At the
same time, American hostesses are by
no means a negligible quantity.
The Whitelaw Reid tradition is car
ried on by the late Ambassadors niece.

to philanthropic rather than social ser
vice. Nevertheless. Sunderland House is
sure to open its hospitable doors In the
cause of social entertainment.
Other charming American hostesses,
who readily and gracefully play their part
in season and out. are the Duchess OF
Roxburghe. the Countess of Essex. Lady
Anchester, and Lady Cunard.
There are great lamentations over the
unexpected announcement that the fourth
and fifth courts have been postponed un-
til June 4 and 5. There are very strong
and most reasonable complaints that the
courts should have been fixed for days
in Whit Sunday week.
