SOUTHAMPTON, Aug. 1.-Prepara-
tions for the street fair to be held here
August 4 seem to take precedence over
all other social activities. The devotees
of bridge, golf and tennis have for
saken their usual pastimes and have
arrayed themselves in smocks, bunga-
low aprons, and are handling brushes
and paint pots. Every one is painting
the "fair" scenery with Albert Herter
as painter-in-chief.
Instead of the usual fence the fair
this year is going to be surrounded
with a framework of forty painted
panels. 1t is to be known as the
"herbaceous border" Each artist is
allowed all latitude his originality of
design calls for, but the general theme
has to be herbaceous. Construction
of the panels is in charge of Mr.. Will
liam Lewis Donnelly.
