WORSE THAN NEW YORK.

New York may be wide open. but the
| Wilderness of the opening is narrow be-
side that of Paris. The statement we
are aware. has the aspect Of platitude.
There is novelty behind IT, The Jour
nal de PHotel a pink Partisan perlodi-
cal, provides in recent issue the
names and addresses OF six society
women to whose kettledrum and five
o'clocks the outer world ia admitted on
payment of an entrance fee. These
ladies all figure in the Almanach du
High-Life. Their bcx-office receipts
are devoted to charity which. as some
one somewhere eagely stated. begins at
home. After all, why not? Besides the
idea is but the Champs Elysees de-
Velopment of Mayfair enterprise. Mr.
Hooley testified the other day that he
paid Sir William Marriott one thousand
pounds for introducing him at the Carl
ton Club. \ little while ago Lord Willie
Neville-at present I'm jail-was shown
to have turned many an honest guinea
through taking strangers in. Just now
a duchess in the recognized interme-
diary between Chicago and court. The
Champs Elysees process ia the same
system slmplfed. The middleman be-
ing eliminated, and with him his prof
its. consumer and producer are to their
common advantage enabled TO trade
face to face. That is the wav business
should be conducted. Now why should
not the system be adopted here? Rates
once established i'm accordance with the
laws of supply and demand. the cost OF
social necessities would diminish and
every Woodworking bounder could lux
uriate i'm the crush and pleasure of
Mide-open teas.-Collier's Weekly.
