Unique and . attractive, in a true setting of old Japan, an elaborate garden party was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank A. Vanderlip, in Scarsborough, today. Beechwood, as the Vanderlip estate is known, one of the showplaces of Westchester County, ‘was given over for the day for the fete which added thousands to the $500,000 drive which was opened for the reconstruction of Tsuda College, in Tokio. This well known institution of learning was wrecked by the earthquake. With the mark of the orient on every detail of the entertainment, a program was offered which lent a thrill seldom felt in this section of the continent. The smart set attend- ed in great numbers and among those seen strolling _about the grounds, watching the athletics or sipping tea, were leaders in the inner circle. One of the most interesting of the many events was the debut of Mr. and Mr: Omura, famous Japapese dancers, who presented figures apd steps of the modern period and those of the time when the Shogun reigned su- preme, before the ring of isolation was broken. Street Fair Is Feature. Then there was the street fair, which was known as the Ginza Dori, with kimono-clad _attendants who minced about prettily in their native shoes, and coquetted with paper para- sols in true Nipponese fashion. Most of these were debutantes and had spent long hours in practicing the roles which they assumed. As the scenc was a replica of the shopping center of Tokio, the booths were hung with costly oriental draperies and the goods were allur- ing knickknacks, bits of art from Japan, with here and there a_cun- ningly wrought Chinese favor. There were the noted Nishijin tapestry, mah jong sets, flower articles, sand pic- tures, sea scemes, mysteriously fash- ioned on silk by aid of knives, and demonstrations and _instructions in flower making, that art in which the Japanese excel Those in charge of the booths were under the direction of Mrs. H. C. Brinton, who acted as chairman of the entertainment committee. The returns exceeded the expectations of the most hopeful. A number of those who took part had a share in the Park avenue street fair, which closed here recently. Give Tennin Exhibition. Japanese fencing with the huge war swords, familiar to those who have studied Nippon pictures. was another feature. This was followed by an exhibition of jiu-jitsu marked by startling cleverness. The princi- pals in these events were Sakamotot and R. Taguchi. Both are internationally known. The Japanese Davis cup team, consisting of Shimizu and S. Kashio, gave a spirit- ed showing of their skill on the ten- nis courts, At the Beechwood Theater, a pri- vate playhouse on the Vanderlip es- tate, a Noa play was the chief offer- ing in the dramatic and musical pro- gram. The lead was taken by Much Ttow, a prominent dancer. This the first time this play has been in this country. Mme. Tamaki s: an aria from “Madame Butterfly a group of Japanese songs, while music was played on the samisen, koto and Japanese flute by Mrs. Tabusa, Mrs. K. Uveda and Mr. Ta- guchi.

Society Sells Live Stock. Still_another fete in which society was greatly interested was held yes- terday on the estate of Mr. and Mrs. Payne Whitney at Manhasset, Long Island. The babies' milk funds of the Family Welfare Association of Nas- sau County, Inc., received a neat sum from the proci . A live stock sale was the predomi- nant feature of the affair, and many fancy fairs of the rural districts have offered no better breeds of cattle, pigs and pedigreed dogs than wero dis- played on the aristocratic grounds known as Greentree. Practically all of the smart set of Long Island were present. Those who assisted in tak- ing the little pigs and other interest- to market were Mrs. waite Cobb A number of L fair was started in Mrs. Whitney's town hou: 72 5th avenue.
