New YORK, February 16 1s95-Peo-

the value of Ward McAllister The
set that he represented was al least a
conservative one, and his usefulness
consisted, 10 as far as possible, keeping
from Is portals those people who lack
ed birth or reputation, and it cannot
be doubted that, no matter how much
money was offered to this man. he new
err pushed, as he might have done, any
one socially.
There will always be drawn line
that divides society. This is the un-
changsabe law which all wise people
recognize. There are people as good,
as handsome, as rich, as those counted
In the notable Four Hundred, but they
have not achieved the position
occupied by their more fortunate
sisters and brothers. Mr.. Meal
lister, man wel-born, well-edu-
Gated. and with a curious ability for
arranging festivities of all kinds, was
selected not by man, but by a woman,
to do exactly what he did, TO see, in
the case of subscription dances, that
every one had their right to put before
the committee. composed of men, the
names of strange visitors, and these
men, not McAllster alone, decided
whether the invitation asked for should
be sent.

BUT sHg WON HER WAY.

OF course, influence counted for some
thing, but usually birth and breeding
had much more to do with it. Every
| New Yorker remembers how some
years ago the entree was given TO a
young woman who had nothing to com
mend her in the ewes of the world but
/ her beauty, which was great. The
pretty, but simple frocks which'she wore
were earned by her, as her daily work
was drawing designs for carpets, a work
which she did at home; home being
represented by the quiet boarding
house, In which she lived with her faith
er and mother. Mr.. McAlister met
her, found her pretty and interesting,
anxious to 60 into society, refusing TO
accept any but that which she consid
cred best, aud be opened its doors for
her. For number Of years she was

sCHENnNG AND PLANNING.
Poverty was not a bar in the eyes Of
this man toward achieving q good posi-
ton socially, and 1t is a well-known fact
that in many instances, where mothers
begged for invitations for their daugh-
tiers, he did all In his power for them;
but that awful Vehmgericht, the COM
mittee, decided who should and who
should not be among them when there
was a sound Of quiet and well-ored
revelry bY night. To sit on the top rung
Of the social ladder and look with fasti-
dious GOODNESS through lorguettes, franz
ed with diamonds, at he other climbers,
is the ambition of every woman who Is
rich; and feels that she ought TO be
where she is not. The schemlng and
the planning that goes on 10 obtain
what they want, is, OF course, disgust
ing, and tends TO make the women who
do ii, mean and low. The charity
eodge," as il is called, which meant
getting an appointment 90 the COM
mittee OF various hospitals giving
enormously, and, in turn, getting
the desired invitations, has long
ago been played out. Women will take
from Mrs. Psrvenu all the money imagi-
nable, for their pet charities; but this
will not buy an entrance TO their houses,
or anything more than the coolest bow
ing acquaintance.
