SOCIETY SPoNGEs.
Among the 400 Are People Who Make
Others Pay Their Bills.
From Vogue

1t was settled long ago that young un-
married woman can accept only flowers
bonbons or a book from young man In
the south there is much more latitude
but then society there has always been
charming, but slightly unconventional.
Has the code-that unwritten law of
etiqutte-ever decided the extent OF
what men should receive from women?
There is a certain set of young men in
New York who are spoiled. They seem
TO consider chat they can receive any and
everything from the fair sex simply as
tokens of the homage they deserve. They
are in demand and women must pay for
the privilege.
To pay dinner or dance call is out of
the question. To send even a fimsy bit
of pasteboard by mail is too much of an
effort. New York is so large, they argue,
and it is such bore.
They allow women TO pay for them, to
settle hotel and dinner bills, 10 paw for
supper or for luncheons. They accept
everything offered them-iewelry. hand
some appointments for their room and
toilet table, and, more TO their shame,
even wearing apparel.
There is an instance of a certain young
man, we'll known in New York, who al
lowed generous hearted woman, a stran-
ger here, not only TO pay for all his meals
during her stayat q certain hotel, but also
20 settle for visits to the theater, a box at
the opera, 70 which he had invited o num-
Der of mutual friends
He even limited so sadly about financial
depression, the state of the street, and the
hard heartedness of certain haber-
dasher that, as parting tribute, he was
presented with dozen shirts and any
number of handsome ties Widows and
women who are unprotected are the keen
est sufferers in this regard
Two summers ago, at Newport o
wealthy young bachelor had cottage in
which he entertained large house parties.
number of these society sponges were
on his visiting list.
They ran up bills at the different shops
where he dealt, rang and called for cabs
at all hours Of the day and night and
charged them to him, abseuted themselves
from meals and never intimated TO their
host whether they would be at home or
not, changed the hours for luncheon and
dinner TO suit their convenience and
ordered what they chose from his steward.
These were not only men. but women
also, all equally well-known in society.
They repeated the same offenses at
another house at Lenox as soon as they
were through with Newport,

became intimate, and both noticed an ex-
traordlnary resembace between them.
When belHy's time was up, Emmons pro-
posed to him that he should impcrsonate
Reilly on the discharges trip" to East

bassy. Such & step would, of course, be
followed by the appointment of an Ameri-
can ambassador TO Russia All this was
designed to cement those friendly rela-
tiOns which our treaty with Russia had
Served TO accentuate.
But precisely here was the creux Of the
difficulty Mr.. White soon became Obnox-
iOus to the ears cabinet by his attitude
on the treaty question. All that he could
consistently do To nullifY ii he did, yet so
diplomatic was he, wlthal, that the Rus
sim government could take no exception
The treaty itself has been denounced by
the warmest adherents of Mr.. Cleveland
many Of whom are in the association
formed for its abrogation, and they are at
a loss to understand how he could yield to
Mr.. Whitney and approve 1t. MIR, White,
although a republican, is a warm personal
friend Of the President and the latter
would gladly have retained him as min
lister.
MIR White readily enough gave his aid
to the association in this country and
personally interested himself in the cases
of alleged outrage TO Americans in Russia,
whom the treaty appeared TO Cypress. He
even went further, and spoke at several
gatherings in the Russian universities
which had denounced the treaty The
students and writers of the cars domin-
ions have not hesitated, al the risk of i'm
prisOnment, TO say that the treaty is a
disgrace to humanity, and when Mr.
White accepted the courtesies Of the
scholars Of Russia, he at once got into hot
water with the court.
Meanwhile the Russian government
had been corresponding with the Wash
lngton department of state about details
in the treaty. and seems to have triumphed
over Mr.. White in all things, thanks to
MIR Whitney, who, while in Europe this
year, has been looking after the interest Is
of the Standard Oil Company At last,
however, MIR. White was discovered TO be
in active sympathy with the American
writers who have been denouncing the
treaty, and it is said, although this is not
certain, that Mr. White even wrote a
letter declaring that the treaty is a de
plOrabie mistake.
Nevertheless, the Russian government
did not dare give walking papers" to
Mr.. White, because it feared TO arouse
public opinion here and thus endanger
the continuance of the treaty. But mat
ters were made so unpleasant for our rep
resentative that it appears he had either
10 abandon his post or his self respect
In Difference to MIR. Cleveland, however
the matter has been kept quiet, and va
riOus fctions concerning Mr.. White and
Cornell have served to hide the true con-
dltiOn Of things.
Thus it comes that the returning diplo-
mats arrival is awaited with anxious in
terest by many New Workers. 1t is CON
fidently asserted that a crisis in the mat
Ter of the Russian treaty win soon be
reached, and if Mr.. White will only talk
he can tell things.
