FEBEUABY 9, 1922 PAGE ? Notes of the Week mm Another week has passed, but not without note in the varied social life of this town, which is becoming the recog nized winter playground of the East coast, not alone for its out-door attrac tions but for the informal and friendly little affairs that occur daily at the Club, at the Cottages and the Hotels here. This informality is one of the attractive features of the life here, finishing, as it loes, the song of recreation with a final harmonious chord. One of these happy affairs was a din ner given by Capt. and Mrs. A. L. Rob erts of Melrose, Scotland, when on Thurs day evening a table at the Carolina was brave with Pinehurst sweetpeas to wel come the guests who were Mr. and Mrs. William B. Merrill, and Mr. and Mrs. George Motley of Rochester, N. Y. Auction, as planned, was forsaken for that old-fashioned game they tell us is fast "going out" of intelligent and sparkling conversation, in which each of these clever folk played their part. It was an altogether worth-while evening. Rochester, N. Y., must be a most agreeable place, for so many charming people come from there. During the past week or two a number of Rochester folk have been guests in town, and have been much entertained. Last week Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Merrill gave a dinner party at their cottage, The Cross-roads, of which there is no more hospitable home in town.. About the table were the pink candles shedding their soft light, welcomed the guests, adding beauty to a most delicious dinner. Mr. and Mrs. George Motley, Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Merrill and Parker "W. Whittemore were guests, with Mr. Spaulding as the lion of the evening. Mr. and Mrs. Irving Bull of Middle town, N. Y. are house guests of Judge and Mrs. Russell Wiggins. Mr. and Mrs. Bull have many friends in town who have given them a cordial welcome. Mrs. W. E. Cross was hostess at a din ner at the Carolina Saturday night at whi,ch she entertained in her beautifully sincere fashion a congenial company of friends. Her guests were Judge and Mrs. Wiggins, Mr. and Mrs. Bull and was found by one of the riders and car ried to the stables. Before the brush could be delivered, something we heard it wras a carnivorously inclined goat, whose lair is near the stables, ate the fox, even his brushy brush! ! That the lady be not disappointed another brush was procured which Mrs. Flan ders, knowing the substitution, refused to accept. Truly, a double tragedy I But why not hunt the savage goat next time? One would think he'd offer good sport and 'twould be ridding the town of a real menace to foxes. Those who rode were Miss Elizabeth Cobb of New York, Mrs. Hoyt Flanders, of New York, Mr. Hardy Bush, Jr. of Newark, Mr. Evan B. Owens, Stamford, Ct., Mr. Glide Naumberg of New York, Mr. W. E. Baker few wJiPf H W t? i, l fih x m7? : 'L v 1 M I - 1 1 1 1 0 Off for a Morning Bide Owen Moore, Mr. and Mrs. John D. Chapman, Mr. and Mrs. Donald Parson, Mrs. Tracy Lewis and her sister, Miss Meecham, Mrs. Morris Volck, Mr. Car men Messmore, Mrs. Evelyn Spender, Mr. Arthur Yates, Major Elliott Ranny and Mr. J. C. Daley. Bunches of violets for the ladies and boutonniere of calan ilulas for the gentlemen added much beauty and fragrance, testifying to Mrs. Roberts' thoughtfulness for her guests, while cunning little place-cards beckoned each one to their seat at the table. Danc ing followed the dinner and concluded a very merry and successful affair. The well appointed home of Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Bausher was the scene of one of the most delightful small dinner parties of the season when the host and hostess gathered about them a few choice friends for an evening of real joy and intellectual profit. Yellow, that touches everything with the joy of Spring and sunshine was the color scheme for the table, about which gathered Mr. and Mrs. Tyler L. Redfield, Mr. and Mrs. George Napier Towle, Mr. and Mrs. I. S. Robesons, the Frank Sages, the George Motleys, and the William Morses, all of Rochester. Mrs. George Motley was the gracious hostess at a luncheon on Friday last at "Three Oaks," that tea room at Lake view where one can find such delicious chicken and waffles . Ten ladies were in the party, among them were Mesdames Merrill, Redfield, Motley, Sage, Morse, Robeson, Bausher and Towle. Mr. Huntley Spaulding who has been a guest of Parker W. Whittemore, has been much entertained during his stay in town. Mr. Spaulding is one of New Hampshire's clever sons who has given service of great worth to his state and country. Among his activities during the recent trying period of war was that of Food Administrator under Mr. Hoover for the State of New Hampshire. One of these pleasant informal affairs was a small dinner given in his honor by Mr. and Mrs. George N. Towle at the Berkshire last week. A table nearly hidden under pink Pinehurst pinks, with Miss Mollie Snyder, all of Middletown, N. Y. Dancing completed an evening of genuine joy. A rare morning with whiffs of pine laden air and the newly turned fresh earth, delicious and wholly satisfying odors to lovers of the great outdoors, called the folk who are keen followers of the hounds last Wednesday morning. A large party of eager riders made an early start from the Carolina to catch B'rer Fox while he was yet in that comfortable after-breakfast mood that makes him a bit drowsy. Whether the voices of forty hounds raised in merry clamor warned him of danger is purely a matter of conjecture, but "facts is facts," one of them being that this particular fox eluded his pursuers until Avell toward noon, when the kill was finally made over yonder near Vina Vista. Two of the lady riders being so close in at the death it was agreed to toss a coin for the brush, which Mrs. Hoyt Flanders of New York won, and the limp trophy fastened to her saddle. On the ride home, how ever, the fox slipped from its place but of Providence, Mr. James B. Walker of Chicago, Dr. M. A. Royal of Elkins, N. C, Mr. W. II . Robertson of Fayetteville, N. C, Mr. Frank Stuart of Overhills, N. C, Mr. A. C. Pratt of Deep River, Ct., and Mrs. Spencer of Colorado. The Drag Hunts this season are of more than usual interest, owing their success in a great measure to the pan neling that has been done in and about town during the past few months. It was over a portion of this new course last Friday that a jolly party of riders guided their mounts, at the heels of the eager dogs. In the saddle we saw Mr. E. T. Murray and Miss Marie Murray of Brooklyn, Evan B. Owens of Stamford, Conn., James B. Waller of Chicago, Gil bert L. King of New York, William E. Baker of Providence, Mrs. F. A. Buell of Flushing, L. I., Miss Marion Lewis of Chicago, Mrs. C. T. Palmer of New York, Mrs. Russell Grinnell of Provi dence, Mr. and Mrs. Gude Naumberg, Jr. of New York, Miss Romona Aber nathy and Miss Jeanette Baker of Kan (Continued on Page 10)
