New York, Aug. 513.---ltaly is go
| ing to add something of her C'wn
particular culture to 33 young Ital-
ian descent who have already made
their mark in the educational centers
OF this country. The group sailed
from New York the other day on an
Italian steamship, guests Of the Ital-
IAN government They were selected
because of the high standing they
i have achieved i'm high schools, coll
! leges and universities of this coun7
TRY and while. they are in Italy they
will visit museums, art galleries,
/ churches and palaces, and have an
opportunity to study and appreciate
the art Of their own land. They can
all read and write Italian fluently.
They are bearing with them a bronze
wreath to be placed on the tomb of
Dante in honor of the anniversary
celebration. In spite of their keen
interest in seeing the land of their
fathers, they didn't want any mis-
understanding about their own ma
tionality. maybe you won't come
| back?" said one reporter, as they
were going aboard. An almost scared
look came over several faces at such
possibility. ooh! yes! We are Am
orleans. We return to our country
they insisted.
There are 100000 persons firm
the south and west, and from Europe
spending their summer vacations in
New York city, according to esti-
mates made by the leading hotels
here. There seems an almost COM
plete reversal of the before-the-War
situation when Europe was the play
ground for Americans. The "See Ann
RIGA" campaign evidently has reach
ed Europeans as well as those OF our
own continent.
Another ''Follies' is scheduled for
New York production in October.
Chased as an amateur performance
1T is nevertheless ready to chad
|lenge comparison with all the other
"Follies, >"Frolics, "Frivolitles'
and whatever other names there be.
This is the "Vassar Follies," to be
put on by the New York city girls
of the class of rs, under the chair
manship of Miss Elizabeth Johnson,
with cast and chorus assistance from
the most talented singerssand dancers
of other years. The "Foilies" will be
sent in manuscript form to Vassar
clubs throughout. the country to be
given for the sake of bringing in
more dollars to the Endowment fund.
A complete dramatic department, Is
organized at the endowment commit
tee Headquarters, under the direction
Of Miss Sybil Fletcher, and in addi-
ton to the "Follies," several dramas,
comedies and tragedies, written by
Vassar graduates, will be sent out
with complete directions for produc-
ton, costume-making and scenery:
Miss Fletcher has herself made mod
els for the greater part Of the scenery
which are at the command of the
alumnae. :. ~. o.
After having supplied more than
5000 peg legs, largely of her own
design to wounded soldiers during
the war, Lady Marjorie DalryrnpIe,
sister OF the Earl of Stair, has come
to New York to go into the business

was finding how nice and soft it was
for the tops of the legless, that de-
cided Lady Marjorie upon that par
ticular medium for business career,

THE print ted word is often confus-
ing. $On tie cover of4the august Am
ericanl Magazine in large, convip cling
letters, are the words, Young Van
derbiH Tells Why He works" And
the story shows that ITS Cornelius
Jr., they're talking about. Then the
society columns informs us that MIR
and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr.,
are at their summer cottage in Brit
ish Columbia, where they will stay
until October Is. X -,.'

James Moore, Hobo, ALL, is with
us in the city for few days. James
is a pink checked, yellow-haired
young fellow, who covered every
state in the United States, visited ev-
cry state capital, and nearly every
national park, and carved his sigma
ture, JIM, Hobo A-1-1," on every
Registered water tank of hobodona
since he left Chicago, August 4 OF
last year. 1t has taken pretty steady
travelling, but James is nothing Cd
not thorough. He has been I'M Ia
itials adorrl the top Of the Ell ffe'
countries of Europe, too, and his in
tower. There is distinction in hobo
dom as we'll as in any other field OF
life.
