perhaps due to the fact that they are
more domestic and attend more close
ly to family cares than American ladies
do. Or it may be because they are
rather exclusive and do not mingle
much IN American society doings, but
keep by themselves, associating only
with their own people. 1t is certainly
not because they are not social. They
give dinners and receptions and enjoy
life quite as much as native-born
Americans. Their weddings are al
ways great occasions distinguished by
pretty faces and elaborate toilettes.
But the acme of German lady's
social ambition is to shine in one of the
aristocratic society clubs. OF these
there are five which are well known
in New York. Two of them, the Lied
erkranz" and the ''Arion,'' are musical
clubs, and are famous both in Europe
and America for their artistic perform
ances. The other three are the 'Har-
monie,'' the "Freundschaft, and the
Progress. To be leader in one of
these is to be a leader in German
society.
Among distinguished German fami-
lies the name of Steinway need only
be mentioned to be recognized. At
present they are in mourning, but
they hold an enviable social position
