Il has been decided 10 hold a horse
show in New York this year and il is
hoped that the venture will attract
society as in former years. For
t~unately there will not be the opera to
clash with the show. as has been the
case FOR some years. as the regular
season at the Metropolitan Opera
House does not begin until Novem-
Der Is.
II is a fortunate thing for the de-
butantes that the dates for the i'm
portant subscription dances were ar
ranged last spring. as there is at this
time no end OF trouble being ex-
perienccd in the arrangements for the
private dances OF the winter There
should he some sort of a soc. al clear
Ing house 10 decide such matters
months in advance Of the regular
season anu when mothers and other
relatives of deDutantes are in town.
Now they are scattered In the four
corners Of the States. and when one
OF them selects a date she generally
