General Pershing says he isn’t thinking of politic?, but i? going out to Wyoming and spend the re*t of the summer pitching hay. A lot of politicians would consider his pro- I gram a direct contradiction of his words. “ Chocly Knickerbocker,” society editor of the New York American, Who is M. H. B. Paul in private life, takes a cue from Miss Alice Cogan, feature writer of the Brooklyn Eagle, and compares society in the three Hamptons— East, West and South— in last Sunday’s paper. We reprint Mr. Paul’s article, without comment: East Hampton Presses Southamp ton in Social Battle; Older Spa Alarmed as Rival Resort Forges Ahead, While Westhampton Looks On With Little Concern. “ Southampton, East Hampton and Westhampton. They all sound more or less alika to those who do not know their so ciety. But, while they are only a few miles apart, geographically, the trio of Hamptons are widely separated, socially. In the matter of importance and exclusiveness, Southampton ranks first, East Hampton, second, and Westhampton, third— and last. There is but little social intercourse be tween the three Hamptons. If you happen to be a member of the col ony at Southampton you rarely visit East Hampton, and never set foot in Westhampton. If you belong to the East Hampton set you endeavor to meet as many of the Southampton- ites as possible and avoid the West- hamptoners as you would sidestep the plague. If you are of the West- hartnpton coterie you spend most of your time watching— and hoping— for the opportunity to snub South ampton and East Hampton, just to display your independence and to show the summer residents of those two communities that you do not care a tinker's darn about Society, as it is spelled to the south and east With Westhampton completely eliminated from the race for Long Island resort Sbcial honors, the strug gle is now between snooty Southamp ton and the decidedly more quaint but less formal East Hampton. Up until the last few years the South- amptonites scorned the East Hamp- toners. They were, so far as South ampton was concerned, in a class with the Westhampton set. But East Hampton, smarting under the ultra- snobbish attitude of Southampton, decided to engage in a social battle with her sister resort; to inaugurate a season that would vie with the elegant entertainments given at Southampton and, in short, to en deavor to snitch the social supremacy of the Hamptons from Southampton. In the beginning, Southampton scoffed. The very idea of East Hamp ton, after all these years, becoming social was “ Oh! so amusing.” Scof fing gave way to amazement and now—fear. For East Hampton has made rapid strides in the right social direction. Important additions have been made to the summer set, bril liant tennis matches and horse shows |have been incorporated In the torrid season schedule, palatial new villas have been built and the finest country club building on the South Shore now houses East Hampton's best known organization, the Maidstone Club. Southampton, panicky over East Hampton’s sudden rise, formed a new bathing club this season and erected a stucco clubhouse on the ocean front. East Hampton plans to go even further next season and build a modem hotel. And so it goes, this bloodless warfare between Southamp ton and East Hampton. In the meantime Westhampton continues on its merry way, appar ently not one whit interested in the elaborately bedecked ladies who wear laces to the Southampton beach and tho gay younger marrieds at East Hampton who fill their teapots with cocktails. Westhampton flatly declines to ‘dress for dinner.’ East Hampton has gotten to the point where the male contingent must don evening clothes because Southampton insists upon “ boiled shirts.” Westhamptoners still continue to spend the greater part of the day on the sands in bathing suits, acquiring a magnificent coat of tan nnd thoroughly enjoying picnic luncheonsr Southampton is aghast at the very thought of spending more than one hour— twelve to one— in the vicinity of the briny breakers, and as for “ basket parties”— oh! la! la! East Hamptoners, keeping in step with Southamptonites, turn the sands over to the nursemaids, chauffeurs and other family retainers during the , afternoons. But they decline to spend |less than three hours in the morning . at the water’s edge. Bathinng Serious Problem Let’s hope the East Hamptoners do not decide to limit their bathing hour from 12:30 to 1, simply to go Southampton one better. If such a condition arises, there will be noth ing left for the Southampton set to ‘do but avoid the beach altogether and do their bathing in the family bath tubs. In the matter of historical interest Southampton and East Hampton have it all over Westhampton. But West hampton refuses to be impressed by ancient history. The leaders of the Westhampton colony insist it is to day that counts— not what happened back in 1G60. The other tWQ resorts immediately point out that such a disregard for things colonial is proof of Westhamp- ton’s lack of culture. And Westhnmp- ton answers “ rubbish.” Really, .it all smacks of a comic opera. But, it becomes very, very real when I hear Southampton mothers refuse to permit their daughters to motor over to East Hampton and attend dances there simply because, “mother never had had any »ocial intercourse with anyone in East Hampton.” I know, and could name— but won’t— a number of Southampton hostesses who pride themselves on never having seen East Hampton or Westhampton. Tho poor dears prob ably think descendant* of the or iginal settJers, the Indians, are still in camp on the sand dunes to the East and the West. Southampton glories in being ex cessively “ bung-tung.” East Hamp ton is fast losing its quaint charm in the mad race to out-do Southamp ton. Westhampton, suffering from an inferiority complex, endeavors to combat Southampton and East Hamp ton’s unkind thrusts by adopting the “ I should worry” attitude. Ami there you have it. You pay your money and, if you must sum mer in the Hamptons, you lake your chc-ice. If there is any doubt In your mind why not try Quogue or Montauk Point? A comic* opera indeed! 1927 Tennis and Golf Tournaments—Maidstone Club The schedule of tournaments for the Maidstone Courts this season will be as follows: Ladies’ Singles (scratch).— Drew Cup.

“ Chocly K n ick erbocker,” society ed itor o f the New Y ork Am erican, Who is M . H. B. Paul in private life , takes a cue from Miss A lice Cogan, fea tu re w riter o f the Brooklyn Eagle, and com pares society in the three Ham ptons— East, W est and South— in last Sunday’s paper. W e reprint M r. Paul’ s article, w ithout com m ent:

East Ham pton Presses Southam p­ton in S ocia l B attle ; O lder Spa A larm ed as Rival R esort Forges A head , W hile W estham pton L ooks On W ith L ittle Concern.

“ Southam pton, East H am pton and W estham pton.

T hey all sound m ore or less alika to those w ho do not know their so­ciety .

But, w hile they are on ly a fe w miles apart, geographically , the trio o f Ham ptons are w idely separated, socially.

In the m atter o f im portance and exclusiveness, Southam pton ranks first, East H am pton, second, and W estham pton, third— and last. There is but little social intercourse b e ­tw een the three H am ptons. I f you happen to be a m em ber o f the co l­on y at Southam pton you rarely visit East H am pton, and never set fo o t in W estham pton. I f you be lon g to the East H am pton set you en deavor to m eet as m any o f the Southam pton- ites as possible and avoid the W est- ham ptoners as you w ould sidestep the p lague. I f you are o f the W est- hartnpton coterie you spend m ost o f y ou r tim e w atch ing— and hoping— fo r th e opportun ity to snub South­am pton and East H am pton, ju st to display you r independence and to show the sum m er residents o f those tw o com m unities that you do not care a tin k er 's darn abou t Society , as it is spelled to the south and east

W ith W estham pton com pletely elim inated from the race fo r Long Island resort Sbcial honors, the strug­gle is now betw een sn ooty Southam p­ton and the d ecidedly m ore quaint but less fo rm a l East Ham pton. Up until th e last fe w years the South- am ptonites scorned the East Hamp- toners. T h ey w ere, so fa r as South­am pton w as con cern ed , in a class with the W estham pton set. But East H am pton, sm arting under the ultra- snobbish attitude o f Southam pton, decided t o en gage in a social battle w ith her sister resort ; to inaugurate a season that w ould vie w ith the elegant entertainm ents given at S outham pton and, in short, to en­deavor to snitch the socia l suprem acy o f the H am ptons fro m Southam pton.

In the begin n in g, Southam pton scoffed. The very idea o f East Ham p­ton, a fte r all these years, becom ing social was “ O h ! so am using.” S c o f­f in g gave w ay to am azem ent and now — fe a r . F o r East H am pton has m ade rapid strides in the right social d irection . Im portant additions have been m ade to the sum m er set, bril­liant tennis m atches and horse shows

| have been in corporated In the torrid season schedule, palatial new villas have been b u ilt and the finest country club bu ilding on the South Shore now houses East H am pton 's best known organization , the M aidstone Club.

Southam pton, pan icky over East H am pton ’s sudden rise , form ed a new bathing c lub this season and erected a stu cco clubhouse on the ocean fron t. East H am pton plans to go even fu rth er n ext season and build a m odem hote l. And so it goes, this

bloodless w arfare betw een Southam p­ton and East H am pton.

In the m eantim e W estham pton continues on its m erry w ay, appar­ently not one whit interested in the elaborately bedecked ladies w ho wear laces to the Southam pton beach and tho gay younger m arrieds a t East Hampton who fill their teapots with cocktails.

W estham pton flatly declines to ‘dress fo r d inner.’ East H am pton has gotten to the poin t where the m ale contingent m ust don even ing clothes because Southam pton insists upon “ boiled shirts.” W estham ptoners still continue to spend the greater part o f the day on the sands in bathing suits, acqu iring a magnificent coat o f tan nnd thoroughly en joy in g p icn ic luncheonsr Southam pton is aghast at the very thought o f spending m ore than one hour— tw elve to one— in the v icin ity o f the briny breakers, and as fo r “ basket parties” — oh ! la! la! East H am ptoners, keeping in step with Southam ptonites, turn the sands ov er to the nursemaids, chauffeurs and other fam ily retainers during the

do not decide to limit their bathing hour fro m 12:30 to 1, sim ply to go Southam pton on e better. I f such a condition arises, there will be noth­ing le ft fo r the Southam pton set to ‘do but avoid the beach altogether and do their bathing in the fam ily bath tubs.

In the m atter o f h istorical interest S outham pton and East Hampton have it all over W estham pton. But W est­hampton refuses to be impressed by ancient history. The leaders o f the W estham pton co lon y insist it is to­day that counts— not what happened back in 1G60.

The other tWQ resorts im m ediately point ou t that such a d isregard fo r things colonial is p r o o f o f W estham p- ton ’s lack o f culture. And W esthnmp- ton answers “ rubbish.”

Really, .it all sm acks o f a com ic opera.

But, it becom es very , very real when I hear Southam pton m others refuse to perm it their daughters to m otor over to East Ham pton and attend dances there sim ply because, “ m other never had had any »ocial in tercourse with anyone in East H am pton.”

I know, and could name— but w on ’t— a num ber o f Southam pton hostesses who pride them selves on never having seen East H am pton or W estham pton. Tho poor dears p rob­ably think descendant* o f the o r ­iginal settJers, the Indians, are still in cam p on the sand dunes to the East and the W est.

Southam pton g lories in be in g ex­cessively “ bung-tung.” East Hamp­ton is fast losing its quaint charm in the mad race to out-do Southam p­ton. W estham pton, su ffering fro m an in feriority com plex, endeavors to com bat Southam pton and East H am p­ton ’s unkind thrusts by adopting the “ I should w orry” attitude.

Am i there you have it. Y ou pay your m oney and, if you must sum ­m er in the Ham ptons, you lake your chc-ice.

I f there is any doubt In your mind why not try Quogue or Montauk P oint?

A comic* opera indeed!
