liant plans for the Spring program, al
though Easter is still two weeks in the
future. A number OF the younger set
have returned from colleges and
schools and many house parties have
been given in their honor. Most OF
these affairs have been in Westchester

month are the Butterfly ball at the
Ritz Carlton, April 10; the United
Hunts Racing Association Spring
meeting. April 81 and %. and the Rain
bow ball at the Carlton. April %.
Each one of these will have distinc.
tive charm and all are of unusual i'm.
portance.
The United Hunts meeting will open
the outdoor social season. 1t will be
held at Belmont Park Terminal. on
Long Island. Boxes for the two days
OF sport are selling at rate that fore
casts large attendance of well known
turf devotees and social leaders.
There will be six races each after
noon, beginning at 2:30 O'Clock. fol-
lowing the time-honored luncheon in
the Turf and Field Club. 1t consti-
tutes a reunion or rally of large
number of persons held together by
their common love of the turf. Hun
dreds of them keep this date open
every year. allowing nothing to inter-
fere with the delightful gathering Of
kindred souls who always attend the
United Hunts meetings.
