The whole week end, however, was not entirely relaxation and rest—not by a long shot! For the old Southamptonites, who love and adore the place, there is the parade in the morning in the viilage, with bands, fireworks and floats and prizes donated to the best ones. The committee in charge of this is always headed by Mrs. Kenneth O'Brien, the former Katharine Mackay, who is assisted by Mrs. Roger Tuckerman, who was looking very smart in a dusty pink dress of crepe de chine, with white carnations printed all over, and a white straw hat with a white carnation perched on the front, and Mrs Adrian Larkin, wife of the well-known lawyer, whose name has for so ma years been linked with that of H.

It is a fancy dress affair, but of the eflortiess type, where comfort is the keynote rather than splendor. Mrs. James Curtis, for example, wore that amusing dress we have all seen her in this Spring. consisting of a very full black tafleta skirt and a quilted, high-necked jacket, and Saturday night, just for fun, she topped it off with a red velvet tricorne. The party lasted till all hours, in fact, 7:30 Sunday morning still found at least 150 people enjoying themselves no end and the orchestra going full tilt!
