New YORK, January 22d-The Four
Hundred of New York have insulted the
Four Hundred of Philadelphia, and there
are loud rumors of social war.
When Ward McAllister gave his famous
New Years ball TO prove that he was the
only man who could run so big social af
fair, he invited large delegation from the
most exclusive south-side circles of the
Quaker City to behold his triumph. They
came and were properly recognized and
honored.
Then the Four Hundred of Philadelphia
decided to show the New Workers that
society was not dead in that quiet burg,
but could vie with New York. They got
up most elegant assembly ball, and to
this invited McAllister, with general in
vitation to bring some of his friends. The
assembly ball came off with great eclat
but the monarch of New York was not
there.
1t was known that he and his daughter
had gone to Philadelphia with large party
of friends and had engaged rooms at
hotel, but when the hour came to prepare
for the ball the party quietly stole out of
the hotel and betook themselves to neigh
boring theater.
At this the proud Quaker City ladies
were angered, for it had been duly adver-
tised in fashionable circles that the mon
arch and his suite were to be present.
McAllister gave no explanation, but the
reason for his non. attendance has been
learned The quiet Quaker ladies, who
trace their descent from the days of Penn,
objected to some of the nouveaux riches
whom McAllister brought with him, and
the proper number of invitations were not
forthcoming for McAllister and what the
Philadelphians termed Ibis crowd"
McAllister, not being willing to attend
an affair out of which his friends had been
barred, refused to go to the ball. 1t is not
surprising that the wealthy members of
Gotham's four hundred have sworn ven
geance against the exclusive society of
Philadelphia.
