world moves, and it is now the heiress who
goes about seeking a desirable parti, and
no law but public opinion is likely to mo-
lest her. She bankers to spend her money
for gew.gaws; she wants to add title to
her trousseau, so she goes into the European
market places and boldly makes Der. bar

prince, and no more" says Miss Caldwell.
1.-THE price is not sufficient" replies the
prince. and turns on his heel, while Miss
Huntington obtains hers by haggling
The now Princess Hatzfeldt was never In
troduced here, for the reason that the
Huntingtons have not the entree of New
York society. They live Handsomely on
Park avenue, have a pew at st. Thomas
fashionable Episcopal church and a box at
the opera, and their failure to got any
recognition from the heut ton goes TO show
that 1t is not money alone that is required
t. gain entrance to New York society.
Miss Huntington and Miss Caldwell are not
the first who. having failed TO get into New
York society, have gone abroad and bought
their way into the elite circles OF Europe
which fact furnishes food for reflection.
The nearest Miss Huntington ever came
TO enjoying New York society was in the
brief companionship of Mrs. John Sher-
wood, that curious anomaly of the fashion,
able world who has acted for years as the
connecting link between society and a vari-
GUS assortment of persons who have desired
TO gaze into the inner sanctuary unvailed.
Mrs. Sherwood was engaged, at a round
sum, to chaperone Miss Huntington
abroad: to introduce her there; ia shoEt
to marry her there, for that Is what
1t amounted to. Chaperones in the old kid
mapping days were O necessity, and
though Mrs. Sherwood has frequently acted
In the capacity she never discovered till
now that they have become merely a rudi-
mentary and ornamental survival. This
latest charge led her a most unwilling and
undignified dance about Europe, making
her party TO what she considered shocking
improprieties of breeding. Much comment
has been evoked here by Mrs Sherwoods
awkward position in the matter. Among
her embarrassments she was constrained to
unfold to Mr.. Huntington Prince HAITI
feldt's true character, and afterwards to
make one of the guests at the wedding.
The only young women Of G.. p Hunting
toms own blood is his only sisters child,
Miss Helen Gates who 10 said to'be well
educated, well-bred girl, of an entirely
different order from the Princess Hatzfeldt.
Mr.. Gates, her father. began life as u
clergyman, but is now In charge
of some of his brother-in-law's
railroad interests. The daughter is
about ready to make her debut, and If, as is
to be presumed, Mr.. Huntington does as
well by her as he has by his first wife's
niece, she will soon come prominently into
notice, and as she has been so carefully
reared and is really cultivated girl, she IS
likely to have more success on this side of
the water, and to recompense her uncle for
the embarrassments caused him by his late
charge.
Miss Caldwell's gowns, waiting for her to
try on at Worth's, are said to have among
them manyIcut en- pTfncssse. Some of the
street gowns are furnished with shoulder
capes box-plaited from the neck. Miss
Caldwell has q slender figure, to which
these styles are adapted. ADA Conn.
