'imN.n THE prolonged Inactivity In society etlll continues. So far thera looms on the horizon no very large affair, nd the course of the Summer will flow smoothly on with the usual perfunc tory entertaining. The midsummer season at the beaches is said to be the gayest for some years past. A large contingent of matrons, maids and col lege lads are constantly planning in teresting diversions, though the dearth of men Is evident until the week-ends. Harry Corbett, John CarBen, Chester Murphy, David Honeyman. Jordan Zan. Robert Smith, H. O. Stlckney, Scott Brooke, F. W. Mulkey, Robert Mc Craken, T. S. McRath, A. Berg, Howard Holland, Kurt Koehler and Walter . Becbe are a few of the popular bach elors who have figured conspicuously at the hostelrles and house parties over Sundays.

Miss Inez Barrett, Miss Liea Wood, Miss Kathleen Burns, Mrs. Wal ter Burrell and many otnersr" Surf bathing Is the chief center of attraction, and during that hour Inter ested throngs of people swarm the beaches. Western girls, for the most part, swim well, and, unlike their Eastern sisters, go In for genuine en joyment of the Bport, not for the dis play of handsome bathing costumes. The decided penchant for gowns a la Princess Is now manifested in the Prlncesse bathing suit, which Is the season's sensation at Eastern watering places. The elaborateness of material and cut of these diminutive costumes, for whloh $15) to $200 Is not consid ered an excessive sum, seems truly ab surd. The descriptions which are weekly chronicled by thai New York correspondents at Newport, for In stance, where unobtrusive elegance Is supposed to be the keynote of fashion, are usually of th4 following type: "Mrs. Qlen Collins, she who was Na talie Schenck, and was said by Prince Henry to be -the most beautiful woman In America, Is wearing a bathing cos tume of rich red silk. Prlncesse, of course, with yoke of real Irish oro chet." On today's society page Is a picture of Mrsi Augusta N.
