Mrs. Reid, gave a dinner and dance at Dorchester House, 
Lendon, last Friday night in honor of John Hays Ham- 
mond, United States ambassador to the coronation of 
Kine George, and Mrs. Hammond. The function was 
one of the most brilliant of the season. It brought to- 
ecther a notable gathering of diplomatists, statesmen, 
soldiers and social leaders of England and many Amer- 
icans who have gone to London for the coronation, 
including many of the English nobility. In the ab- 
sence of Mr. Reid, who is still confined to his room, 
John Hubert Ward, Mr. Reid’s son-in-law, and Mrs. 
Reid, received the guests at the head of the famous 
marble staircase, which was decorated with pink ram- 
bler roses. The tables, which were set in the great 
dining hall, were embellished with roses. Several hun- 
dred persons came in for the dance after dinner. They 
included the entire diplomatic corps, members of par- 
liament and their wives, the Lord Mayor of London, 
and distinguished American visitors at London.

The international polo tournament in which so 
many of the Myopia set participated as spectators, in 
spite of bad weather, was such a sueeess that it was 
indisputably proved that the game will lead in popu- 
larity all other out of door sports the rest of the sum- 
mer. Some one remarked at the last game of the series 
that society’s summer schedule, centring around: the 
hunting set, will read something like a tour of one- 
night stands around the country, for there are endless 
»0lo matches to be played, and no one who is put on 
record as caring for the sport will want to be absent 
irom any one of them.
