“ 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
, afternoons. But they decline to spend | less than three hours in the m orning . at the w ater’s edge.
Bathinng Serious ProblemL et’s hope the East H am ptoners
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!
