EW YORK society responded with its usual brilliance 
for the opening of the grand opera season at the Met- 
ropolitan Opera House last week. The spectacle was 
typical of an opening night. The eighth season under the 
direction of Giulio Gatti-Casazza began with nearly all 
of the socially prominent people present. The audience 
lacked only the diplomats, who in happier times have lent 
their presence to such openings. In the parterre boxes 
were several with North Shore affiliations. Henry C. 
Trick and Miss Helen Frick were in box 19 and enter- 
tained Mrs. Lawrence Dilworth, Miss Louise Free- 
man, John P, Grier and Dr. Fordyce B. St. John. In 
box 35 were Mr. and Mrs. Junius S$. Morgan, whose 
guests were the Misses Jane and Frances Morgan. In box 
27 were Mr. and Mrs. John T. Pratt, whose guests were 
Miss Marion Fenno; Geo. L. Wrenn and Mr. and Mrs. 
Charles C. Auchincloss. Mr. and Mrs. John Markle were 
in box 34 and had Mr. and Mrs. John Conyngham and 
Mr. and Mrs. John Chandler Moore with them. Mr. and 
Mrs. John Ryan and Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hoyt were also 
guests in the parterre boxes.

The debutantes of the season, those who will come 
out next year and some young married people, all repre- 
s.nting exclusive society circles in New York, have form- 
eda club for ice-skating to meet each Monday afternoon, 
foliowed by tea, at the St. Nicholas skating rink, until the 
last of March, And, since it is decreed, that unless you 
sl-ate this winter you will be hopelessly out of the social 
twirl, it is supposed that the “floor glide” will be very 
popular at this rink, located at Sixty-sixth street and Col- 
umbus ave.
