Tennis Week Gay
This is Tennis Week at New
port, and it is being marked
by several brilliant entertain
ments, chief of which will be
the dance which DR.. and Mrs.
Alexander Hamilton Rice will
give at "Miramar," their mag
nificent estate, next Friday;
and the coming-out ball at
which Mr.. and Mrs. Augustine
L. Humes will be hosts Satur-
day night at the Clambake
Club to introduce Mrs. Humes'
daughter, Miss Hildegarde Ora
ham. Both events will be pre-
coded by many dinners.
Great preparations are being
made for the Rice party, and
again two orchestras will play
for the dancing which will be
continuous. There will be pro-
feSsional entertainers as we'll.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stuart Duncan
will entertain at "Bonniecrest"
tomorrow evening, for their
debutante niece, Miss JEANNE
Van Norden: and Mrs. J. Lau-
rens H. Van Allen will give
dance for young people tonight
at "Wakehurst," which is one
of the most imposing homes at
the resort.
Navy Debutante
Comdr. Howard B. Mecleary,
U. S. N, and Mrs. Mecleary will
introduce their daughter, Miss
Ann v. Mecleary, at a large
dance at Newport, Saturday,
and this party promises to
bring out an exceptionally fine
display of dress uniforms, the
strong tie between the colonists
and the officers, many of whom
have spent their summers at
this exclusive resort for years,
being strengthened on this &C.
casion by the fact that the

Unusual Incident
At Club

Bernard VI. Baruch,
"friend of Presidents" has
completed his "cure" at
Vichy, and gone to Paris
to join his wife and daugh-
ter. He plans to go to
Czechoslovakia, sh ortly,
where he will be one Of a
large party of Americans
who are to shoot on the ex-
tensive preserves Of Count
Louis Karolyi. The party
will include Duncan Holmes
and Mr.. and Mrs. Paul Ham
mond, who have been cruis-
ing in the Eastern Mediter-
ranean and will fly from
Athens to Budapest. Last
year, this party brought
down more than $4,000
pieces Of game on this same
estate, and wonder of Won
ders, it is reported that the
birds are more plentiful than
ever this year.
Pierre Lorrillard's arrival
yesterday at Saratoga was
the occasion for much re-
joicing, for he is one of the
ablest judges of a race horse
in America. AS a matter-of-
fact, the Lorrillard family
has been one of the pillars
of horse-racing since t h e
Civil War. In 1864, before
racing became the sport of
society, the Lorrillards built
the first track at Saratoga,
a small one compared to the
present track, but it still
stands at Horse Haven.

dents that took place at the

were seated in a large circle,

faced the light, all of a
sudden she broke off what
she was saying to remark:
"Who is that attractive
looking chap over there with
his back to the Light" Her
companion, somewhat dazed,
after a glance at the man
sh c indicated answered,
"Why that's your hus-
band!" What a laugh went
up, and did Joe Fegan get

BOOZER'S BLOOD TEST

Hard shedding faces drunken drivers in Ger
many, according to report from Berlin, where
for the first time court has officially recognized
the Widmark test, which makes it possible to de-
termine with exactness the amount of alcohol in
the blood
Fhe test was applied to young student who
had borrowed" car for little spin, in the
course of which he knocked down and seriously
injured two pedestrians The medical expert max
ing the test told the judge that the culprit had
imbibed quantity of alcohol equal to that cor
tanned in nine drinks of cognac and nine glasses
of beer-the assumption being that the beer, in
accordance with can international CUSTOM" had
been taken as chaser
The defendant, also adhering to an international
CUSTOM strenuously denied having imbibed to ex-
cess, but upon assurance by the expert that "the
blood test never les" the judge imposed sentence
of one months Imprisonment which was more Sc
we're penalty than ever the prosecuted expected
In passing sentence the learned Judge declared
that drunken drivers must be sent to jail under
any circumstances" dictum with which most per-
sons will readily agree. Perhaps we Americans
might learn something about handling the drunken
speeder problem from our German contemporaries
