Mrs. Barger Wallach left town

days and then Will head for Newport
and tennis week.
Everything begins and ends at
Newport with tennis week Week
end parties, luncheOnS. dinners and
dances revolve around this annual
sports event.
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt is ar
ranging to have Will Stewart, Lyle
Hull and Harrison Williams at
Bcaulieu the week of Aug. u.
They know their tennis. Mr. Will
liams owns one of the best profess
SiOnal courts on Long Island.
Mrs. Vanderbilt and her house
party lunched together recently at
the Colony Restaurant. She always
uses a lorgnette AT the luncheon
she carried a fan, too. which COM
plicated matters a little-bUt she
looked very smart nding
IN her trim blue and white print.
= Near Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt
sat Mr.. and Mrs. w. K Vanderbilt
at their favorite table for two.
They probably will be anchored
of Newport during tennis week on
their yacht. the Vara.
Mr.. Vanderbilt's brother and sis
ter-in-law. Mr. and Mrs. Harold
Vanderbilt are excellent tennis
players. l shouldn't be surprised to
see them there also.
Mrs Barger Wallach is the Bob
FitzSimmonS of the tennis word.
She dates back to the Eleanor Sears
days when long skirts and wells were
part of a woman's tennis costume.
Though no longer participating in
championship matches, Mrs. Wal
ZACH plays a neat game. Even the
most experienced racquet wielders
look to their laurels when they face
Mrs. WallaCh.
n q q
RumorS that Mr.. and Mrs. Har-
riSon Williams are contemplating a
divorce have been denied holly by
their friends. Why they're crazy
about each other" some one said.
Williams works very hard and sell
dom has time to play. Mona may
take her holiday out in a trip to
Europe but that doesn't mean a
divorce
Mrs. Williams sailed this week
Tor London and France. She and
her husband feel that separations
are good" their friend continued.
They'll be all the more crazy about
each other when she gets back"
As Americas beSt-dreSsed wom-
an. Mrs. Williams has become news.
She does dress in great good taste.
She smiles at her SartOrial laurelS
and is wise enough to see that the
French dresSmakers had an eye on
her pOCketboOk when they bestowed
the title of best dressed woman
