With the racing
season at Saratoga
we'll into its third week. word
continues to trickle back to
us of the crowds which in
habit the place. The galety
and excitement, which annu-
ally take hold of this New
York resort in August, seems
to be outdoing itself this sea-
son, and not only are the
crowds bigger, the night spots
more popular than in days
past, but practically all of
the hotels have the S. R. o.
sign out.
A busy social calendar
faces the colonists. Tonight,
Mrs. Payne Whitney Will en-
terrain at a birthday anniver-
sary dinner for her son, John
Hay Whitney, more COM
monty known as Jock,
whose wife, "Liz," is missing
her first season at Saratoga
in a number of years, being
very busy in Hollywood with
screen tests.
Enjoying Sojourn
The "Chip" Roberts are
very much in the picture at
the spa, entertaining and be-
ing entertained before and
after afternoons at the track.
The beauteous EVE, whose
blond tresses are the envy Of
many a woman, seems to be
here, there and everywhere
at one and practically the
same time.
Ogden Mills, former Secre.
tary of the Treasury, and
Mrs. Mills are continually
surrounded by groups OF
friends, and Mrs. Mills looked
extremely chic in a Dutch
blue dress with white pin
dots and a natural straw
polk bonnet, trimmed in scar
let peoples. Two strands OF
pearls effectively completed
the costume.
The George Angus CARROTS
were weekend visitors at the re-
sort, motoring down from their
summer place at Marion, Massa-
chusettS, and when Mrs. Garrett
attended the yearling sales she
wore a flowing skirted black
chiffon gown with mauvy pink
flowers outlining the very low
decolletage. Over this attrac-
tive creation she slips a long,
tight sleeved satin jacket in that
same mauvy pink shade
The former Ambassador to
Italy, Mr.. Breckenridge Long, &C.
companied by his daughter,
Christine, is at Saratoga, travel
ing q little further this time to
see the ponies than when the

land, estate.
