MRS. GEORGE LEARY, of New
M York, gave dance for her son,
George Jr.. Mt Hawthorn House, her
villa in Southampton. 1t was to have
been for members of the younger set
entirely; but what with the tennis and
visitors there, it developed into quite
A large affair, taking. in the visiting
tennis players and their wives, and
a number of the young married set OF
southampton.

i mont is going to give large ball
At the Golf Club in Newport on the

who are great bellies this summer.
Muriel is rot spending the summer at
Newport. Her family are in South

THERE was excitement among the
i kiddies at Bailey's Beach yesterday,

contest, for which Francis Burke Roche

event. and all the parents turned out
10 witness the work Of their children.
The prizes were won by Olive Whitman
and Beatrice Greenough. Olive is the

children are the sweetest things. I re-
member seeing them one time at a tea
at their mothers house in New York
They came downstairs to meet the
guests dressed in white frocks trimmed
with Irish lace and tied about the
waists with wide blue sashes, and they
assisted in receiving and waiting on
the guests in the most graceful way you
can imagine.
WILLIE had birthday several weeks
W ago, and among other things
he was given bright new red silk
tie Last week a relative Of the family
died and mother decided to let Willie
attend the services at the church
Willie is ten and has begun to think
about appearances, and as his collar
was fastened he brought forth the rec
tie. "Oh," said mother, ''you mus
not wear bright red at a funeral, dear
1t would look very out Of place, where
nearly every one is in black" Willie
took It rather hard, and with ar
asgrieved expression, said he: 80
mother, now you've spoiled the who'll
funeral for me-"
