Show What will undoubtedly be a brilliant reason wus formally opened at tho Country club last Saturday, when that popular placo took on tho aspect of now life, scores of society folk appearing appear-ing to make tho unusual opening a 1 success. Tho Inauguration of tho sea- eon -boforo tho first of May was a hazardous step that required norvo upon tho part of those who took a chance on the weather, and the early opening was greeted with pleasure by the devotees of the popular suburban retreat. Golf and tennis brought out many of tho athlotlcally inclined and helped to tako tho winter's stiffness but of tho joints, while tea was served In tho club house to the accompaniment accompani-ment of special music. Following a table d'hoto dinner, a dance was given In tho evening, and tho closing num-' num-' ber found the season pretty well ad vanced. This from New York: By far the most Important Broadway social event i of the season took place on Sunday night last, when the exquisitely decorated deco-rated and appointed new Palais do Danso in the Winter Garden building was; opened with a strangely picturesque pic-turesque "party" given by Mile. Gaby Deslys and tho Messrs. Melville Bills and,.Al Jolson to their personal friends, both In and out of the profession. After a delightful supper and eabarot entertainment by artists of dusky huo the real clou of the night commenced, and the tango, turkey-trot, bunny-hug bunny-hug and one-step were danced as only trained toes and graceful ankles can I d them. Among the amusing features of the evening was a tango by Molllo King and Marcus Loew and an exhibition exhi-bition bunny-hug by Edna Chase and "Diamond Jim" Brady. There were about one hundred and fifty guests present, some of them being proml- hent men of tho day, and others prominent promi-nent men of the night. E. Clarence Jones and Billy Miller had in tow Sir Donald Mann of Toronto, and tho Canadian railroad magnate was honestly hon-estly bewildered by the' feminine beauty which surrounded him. So also was Ricardo Martin, tenor of the Metropolitan, who managed to obtain a special dispensation from Mrs. Martin Mar-tin for the evening, and who was accompanied ac-companied by Lieutenant Lawrence Townsend, U. S. N. The beautiful Josephine Whittel (Mrs. Robert War- wick), the fascinating Mrs. Caroline Armstrong and tho popular and handsome hand-some Robert Graves had a little party of their own, which was tho center Of much interest. Senator Smoot's "personal organ" Is atill after O. C. Beobos for some mysterious reason. It hasn't boon long since tho sanctity of tho Beebo family was recklessly invaded by the pjaper, and that incident is hardly forgotten before the paper announced the following bit of society news: "Mr. and Mrs. O. C. Boebe announce tho engagement of their daughter, Emma, to Mariner Eeclos of Logan,1 son of the late David Ecclos. The" wedding will bo in tho near future. Miss Beebo has returned from Logan after a week's visit with Miss Mario EccIoh." Tho announcement Is indignantly denied by the Beebe family, and so emphatic Is the denial that tho genuineness genu-ineness of the announcement is entirely entire-ly knocked out. It is said that once more the Beebe family has been called upon to protest against what its members mem-bers consider "reckless, not to say unscrupulous," un-scrupulous," work on the part of the Herald-Republican. He had been dancing with a debutante. de-butante. It was her first ball and, unlike other debutantes, she was modest; nay, even bashful He had essayed vainly to put her at her ease, and, being a man of the world, became rather piqued at his - failure to do so. Suddenly a catastrophe occurred. He observed, as they stood resting a while, one of her garters on the floor, at their feet. She observed It, too. Poor thing! She waxed more crimson crim-son than eer. Nonchalantly he stooped and picked it up. And as he handed It to her casually remarked: "Whyte It you ladles will wear your waistbands so big?" Then she unflinchingly turned her bluejeys on him and st$j -"You-' dear!" ....

KIser, Mrs. Robert Gould Smith and Mrs. Sprague (Emily Bannister). A young wife, irritated by the cares of a' long, busy day, snatched a moment mo-ment to read tho evening paper while waiting for her husband .to come home to dinner. Tho first thing that engaged en-gaged her attention was an article addressed ad-dressed to women, containing true and tried recipes for getting whatever they wanted from tholr husbands. The petitioner pe-titioner was to put on her most becoming be-coming dress and a sweet smile and wait with tireless vlfcllance to make her request at the moment when ho was feeling ngreoablo. It discoursed at some length on "How to Keep a Husband's Love." She read It through to the end, getting madder all the time, and when she finished she threw it down, went to tho mirror, dragged wisps of her hair down unbecomingly on her face and noted with vicious joy that her dress was neither Immaculate nor becoming, and her expression neither agreeable nor regretful,. It was revolution. Standing thus she embodied her feelings In the following words: "When John comes home I Intend to meet him at the door like this, abuse him, scratch him, s' p his face, and tell him I need m "lothes."
