Notes of the Week
Mrs. Theodore M. Riehle of New
York, and Mrs. Ralph W. Fulton of
Garden City, are spending the month
with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Geo.
T. Dunlap, at the Green Dial cottage.
The -wonderful spring days, for which
the cardinals have been calling for a
week or more, joined by a mocker try
ing his unused voice with a few hushed
and timid notes, the white-throat whose
familiar whistle is full of cheer and
courage on the dullest day, the chatter
of robins, cedar-wax-wings and blue
birds, all this, and the call of "Fore"
on the links, indicate the approach of
our busiest weeks. At the Carolina
there is a spring fever of entertaining
too, for during the week there have been
a number of pleasant little dinners fol
lowed by auction or dancing as preferred.
Last week Tuesday, Ned Beall gave a
dinner at the Carolina to a few friends;
among them we saw Mrs. Tracy Lewis,
and her sister, Miss Meecham of Brook
lyn, Mr. and Mrs. F. Wolstenholme of
Philadelphia, Arthur ITates of Roch
ester, A. Lucian Walker of New York,
Major A. Elliott Ranney .of Greenwich,
Ct., Miss Whitsley, Madam Beall and
Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Schofield.
Mr. and Mrs. II . C. Anderson of
Pittsburg, gave an informal dinner on
the same evening to a few friends from
their home, namely, Mrs. James Horner,
Mr. and Mrs. Norwood Johnson, and
Mr. Lauck.
Another small but smart little dinner
party was seen at the table where Col.
and Mrs. B. Waldo were entertaining
Capt. and Mrs. W. W. Cowgill who
came in for dinner, from their attrac
tive home just on the edge of the town.
Saturday night is always a bit mere
festive than others at the Carolina,
bringing as it does many folk from the
cottage colony to dine and dance. It
was an added pleasure to welcome Mr.
and Mrs. George W. Statzell who have
just come back to us, and who, with Mr.
Malcom MacGregor of Detroit, were
dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. Roy
Blackington of North Attleboro, Mass.
Miss Grace Pierson had a gay little
dinner party, with Miss Dorothy Barber,
Charlie Mason and H. L. (Buck) Blue
for her guests on Saturday night, all
of whom stayed for the dancing.
A real old-fashioned downpour of the
wettest kind of rain made all sorts of
indoor games possible and the life in the
hotels varied and merry. At the Caro
lina, Annie Oakley had the nicest place
for rifle practice in the ball-room, and
was kept busy with folk who other
wise might have been a wee bit bored.
Wednesday afternoon a unique event,
called a musical gymkhana was planned
for the devotees of the saddle, in the
Exhibition Building at the race track.
The Carolina Orchestra played for the
well trained horses and their riders as
they went through the varied program of
games that furnished fun for everyone.
Games and races were first in order, a
tilting contest being won by Mrs.
Spencer and Mr. Albert Creighton of
Boston. Mr. F. M. Dodson of Beth
lehem, Pa., won the gentlemen's prize
in the water race, and Mrs. Spencer
took the prize for ladies. In the potato
race, Miss Marion Lewis of Chicago,
and Mr. Russell Grinnell of Providence
shared the honors, and Mrs. F. A.
Buell of Flushing, L. I., and Corbett
Alexander were winners in the egg and
spoon race. The ribbon contest was
won by Mrs. Leo F. Wanner who col
lected five ribbons from five reluctant
gentlemen, and Mr. Alexander protected
his ribbon the longest, making him a win
ner, too. Later, all hands danced
Virginia reels, quadrilles and square
dances, putting their horses through the
figures of these old-fashioned dances to
appropriate music, finally adjourning to
the Club for tea and more dancing. Those
who took part in this rare fun were Al
bert M. Creighton, Boston; Mrs. F. A.
Buell, Flushing, L. I., E. B. Mason,
Newark, N. J., F. M. Dodson, Beth
lehem, Pa., Miss Marion Lewis, Chicago,
Miss Gillespie, New York, James B.
Waller, Chicago, Russell Grinnell, Provi
dence, Miss Romona Abernathy, Kansas
City, C. H. Brackenbush, Chteago, Miss
Dorothy Barber, Mrs. Leo F. Wanner
and Mrs. Spencer.
At the Country Club on Saturday last,
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hornblower and
Mr. and Mrs. W. V. Kellen were hav
ing a cosy visit over their tea cups and
dancing, with evident enjoyment of the
good music.
Mrs . Russell Wiggins gave a little
farewell tea to her house-guest, Mrs.
Irving Bull of New York, at the Club
last Saturday, her guests being Mrs.
William E. Cross, Miss Mollie Snyder
and Miss Wiggins of Middletown, N.
Y.
At the Holly Inn one day last week
about fifty guests entered with zest into
an indoor Obstacle Golf Tournament.
The course to be played was made dif
ficult in various ways, requiring a mashie
as well as a putter to hole the ball. Miss
Jessie Thorpe of Pittsburg, Pa., made
the lowest score for the ladies, with Mrs .
S. W. Dodd of East Orange, N. J.,
runner-up. Mr. L. S. Dennett of Bos
ton, made' the lowest score for the men,
and Mr. Wm. Barr of New York and
Mr. A. W. Kerr of Brooklyn, tied for
second place. The gallery was enthu
siastic and inspiring, adding much to the
general pleasure of the affair. Suitable
prizes were awarded the winners by the
management .
Tuesday night at the Inn was selected
for a St. Valentine's Costume Ball, to

The Waldorf-Astoria represents in
its every aspect all that fastidious
guests could demand of it. The
service is expert and pleasing; the
private apartments spacious and
restful; the public rooms superior in
sumptuousness to any others in New
York; and the cuisine so excellent
that its fame is listed wherever good
food is known.
