DIVORCE CYNICIsM.

One of the society paper cynics has been
telling of an interview with Nine. D'Albert,
the maker of divorce gowns. The inter
view was in this strain:
II do not make dresses for all divorced
women" she says. II only work for those
whose trials are continued for several
days"

asked, produce her effect on the jury in a
single day?"
impossible" said the dressmaker.
"What the jury needs is contrast. 1t must
say, 'AE, she wore black lace yesterday; she
is in China silk to-day" Then on the third
day the new gown moves the jurors pro-
foundly, and after that they are hopelessly
gone"
"How many dresses" asked, should a
candidate for divorce wear at trialP'
'Just as many said Mime. D'Albert, "as
there are days occupied In its hearing.
never knew a woman to lose her suit who
wore new and stylish gown every day.
never knew one to win who wore the same
gown twice"
Then short trials are fatal to your sys-

Absolutely" said Mme. D'Albert, 81
think that short divorce trials are dis
grace to our country. The husbands law
yers invariably hurry through the case in
order that the wife may not have the
chance OF appealing to the jury in another
dress. What would be thought If society
scampered through dance; and divorce is
far more fashionable than dancing"

THE M'ALL1srER QUESTION

The enemies of Ward McAllister-for
even leaders Of society and very amiable
people have enemies-were delighted when
he fulfilled the scriptural suggestion and
wrote book. History will associate the
time when Mr.. MoAllister published his

time when society left Mr.. McAllister.
But MIR. McAllister Is still at the helm.

GAYETY AT TUXEDO.

The Tuxedo dances begin little earlier
than the dances in New York. There have
already been several balls, more or less
sumptuous. and all of them gay enough.
The opening of George Lorillard ROnaid's
new cottage, house warming of much dis
tinction, was followed by an exhibition Of
living pictures at the Club House theater.
these living pictures were something Of a
novelty, not being on the merely tableaux
vivant order.
Cotillion dancers are talking about the
new screen figure" at the last Tuxedo ball.
The plan Of this figure is to place each of
the ladies behind a screen covered with It's
sue paper. When the signal is given the
ladies stride through the screens like the
nymphs at the circus and lay hold upon the
first man who is In sight Everybody SCENE
ready to agree that the device is piquant in
certain degree. 1t has the flavor of some
of the Versailles entertainments Of Maria
Antoinette's day. There should be Wat
teau design on the tissue paper, and some
body should make a flashlight photograph
OF the scene at the moment when the ladies
are emerging from their hiding places.

BUDS.

Buds and engagements absorb good deal
OF attention at this season.
The number of engagement announce
ments is quite bewildering. Everybody in
New York society who is legally privileged
and who isn't married already is certainly
going TO take vows this winter.
Among the notable buds the daughter OF
COL and Mrs. jerome Bonaparte naturally
takes a conspicuous rank. As everybody
knows, Mrs. Bonaparte is a descendant of
Daniel Webster. There are other distin.
guished debutante, many of them represent
ing the older New York families. believe

come out. The Vanderbilts, by the way, are
in much higher favor than they we're a year

THE COMING or TILE "nooK. y

The coming of the Duke and Duchess of
Marlborough naturally makes a little flut-

the more ludicrous-the disgusting de-

rake and his American wife or the attitude
of those who pretend to scorn the wicked
nobleman, but are dying to be thrown in
his way.
Like Max O'Rell and Sir Edwin Arnold.

comfortable, but as awfully English. IL is

successor in the leadership of the Four Hun

The debate then fell upon Alexander
MADDEN. Amory Carhart and Louis De Gar

A good many New Workers have still to
learn who these gentlemen are. Mr.. Had
Den Is possibly the best known OF the three,
though this Is not saying much.
AT the threat that Mr.. Hadden would be
installed, the friends Of De Garmendia have
discussed special ball at which the latter
gentleman should be established as leader.
