 bility There is no standing on the
 order of your going, but you go at once and with such quickness that nine times out of ten you are put off at street for which you have no affiliation. I wonder why it always rains when you have an appointment at your dress makers? And with that type of dress maker who, if you lose your fitting, makes you suffer by keeping the dress longer? The dressmaker is very posi- tive this winter, and no matter how abominable your neck may be she in sists on making an evening dress with a very low bodice I sometimes wonder if men have the same trouble with their tailors and if they are as impudent to them as dressmakers are to women.

an ancestor who traversed the main in the Mayflower. Today any one provided with sufficient education and wealth galore can come in very short while to the fore among the society folk.
 The most aristocratic looking couple in Boston are perhaps Governor and Mrs. Roger Wolcott. Indeed it would be difficult to find, even in England with all its blue blood, more high bred lock- ing man and woman. In this instance there is blood on both sides, for Mrs. Wolcott was Miss Edith Prescott Since Roger Wolcott became governor he has naturally been more in evidence, and his wife, too, Is now well known and much admired figure in all gatherings, public or private, where she may ap- pear. Their home in Boston is exceed ingly attractive and is perfect in taste, and their entertainments, whether off, cial or private, are most delightful. It is something to be proud of to have such man at the head of the state, and all the more so when such woman is at the head of his house.
 MT. and Mrs. Lindall Winthrop are probably the most aristocratic looking couple in Boston, barring the Wolcotts. Mrs. Winthrop's noble presence and gracious manners, combined with her lovely face. make her a marked woman in Boston society, and her husband even more so, for he has lived so much abroad that he has become more Eng fish in appearance and dress than American. Miss Mary Winthrop was one of the belles of last seasons many debutantes. and from having passed so much of her life abroad ske had suali-

A Cabbage Centerpiece.

A novel and inexpensive decoration for the dinner table was evolved by an ingenious woman seeking to combine the maximum of effect with the mini mum of expense. The result was so charming that she resolved to make the idea public for the benefit of other housekeepers similarly situated. Here it is:
 Take head of cabbage; one that has been picked too late is best, for the leaves open better then, and are apt to be slightly curled. Lay the cabbage on flat plate or salver and press the leaves down and open with your hand, firmly but gently so as not to break them off. When they all lie out fiat, stab the firm yellow heart through sev- eral times with a sharp knife. until it's outlines are lost, and then place flow CTS at random all over the cabbage. i, Roses are prettiest. but any flower which has firm, stiff stem, capable of holding the blossom upright, will do. Press the stems down through the leaves and put in sufficient green to vary prettily The outer leaves of the cabbage, the only ones to be seen when the flowers are in, form charming background, far prettier than any bas- ket.
 Roses are best for all seasons, but autumn offers some charming varia- tions. The brilliant scarlet berries of the mountain ash, or red thorn, mingled with the deep, rich green of feathery asparagus, make a delicious color sym phony most appropriate to the season.

SOCIETY IDOLS OF
 GREATER BOSTON,

Years ago, when Boston was in fact as we'll as in name the Hub" of the universe as far as the United States was concerned, society in that city was a very exclusive and aristocratic institu- tion indeed. But. as in many other cities that bsasted of the blue blood and ancestry of it's society folk, the bar riers have been tumbled down in many places during recent years.
 The tide of wealth, that resistless flood which no force, however intrench- ed and surrounded by it's own sense of superiority, can repel, has brought for ward on the crest of the incoming waves new women and new men. Grad ually the aristocracy of the past has been more or less engulfed.
 Following in the wake of New York and London, the once ultra exclusive New England city now bows down be- fore the golden calf and embraces with protestations of the greatest fervor and affection the newcomers who can af- ford to give elaborate entertainments, swell dinners, splendid parties and thus keep the ball of social functions and gayeties rolling summer and winter without a break.
 what would the Soclai ieduerS oI the fifties. that small but select coterie, have said could they have foreseen the leaders of Boston's Smart set" today :? Who in those days knew the Ameses, the Schlesingers, the Seaburys, the Apthorps, the Gardners, the Sears, the Iasigis, the Warrens. the Fitzgeralds, the Nickersons or the Burnetts and many another family in todays society favorites?

she has to lie about 1t and tell the dressmalxer that she must have it by Sunday night, and if she has a rever- ence for bodice that does not re- quire the united efforts of the family, assisted by the cook, to fasten it on her she has to warn the dressmaker that unless it is an easy fit she won't pay her bill. Then she has to endure being told that her figure is bad; that she doesn't wear the right kind of lin- gerie and to be sympathized with ,n an insulting way and given to understand that it is pity she doesn't let those peo- pie choose her clothes who really under stand dress Nine times out of ten the dressmaker objects to the kind of stays you wear, and one particularly swell
 one had the impudence to tell new customer, 'You are the first lady ever

fitted who did not wear satin corsets." Fortunately the woman to whom this remark was made had the courage of her convictions and responded, "Proba- bly, I am the first respectable woman you ever made dress for" If you are long waisted, they object to that If you are short waisted, they object to that. If you are slender, they speak of you as "bony," and if you are plump they say, Fat is so vulgar" The good Lord ought to make a few women to or der to please the dressmakers. As it is, although most of them grow rich, they seem to regard the average wo- man as most undesirable, as sort of human pincushion and something that is always to be snubbed.
 I once had a tender hearted dress maker who wept over my left shoulder so systematically that got the rheuma-

 The Winthrops live the greater por- tion of the year at their beautiful home on the isle of Wight. Their winter house is on Beacon street, opposite the Common, and is the charming house where Mrs. Winthrop lived during her first marriage, to James Lawrence. Last season Mrs. Winthrop gave series of entertainments to introduce the youn- gest daughter of her husband, who is a sister of Mrs. J. G. h1inot.
 The career of Mrs. Jack Gardner Is almost too well known for description, She was Miss Isabella Stewart of New York, and her parents were wealthy, but not at all fashionable, and the fact that she has never lost her sway in either New York or Newport society is we'll known. Mrs. Gardner is a distinct Boston product. for she has been made by the Boston papers. She has great wealth in her own right as we'll as in that of her husband, who is one of the old Boston Gardners and a very delightful and cultivated man too.
 Mrs. Gardner was the first "society leader" to be written up, and so con- stantly has she been written up that she has become, perforce, something of a poseur. She knows that in public all eyes are looking at her, and, like roy- alty in London, she has to be always on view.
 So accustomed is she now to this pub- lie role that she is often tempted to do something cratic in order to hold the attention of her big Boston audience. At bottom Mrs. Gardner is really cul- tivated-but perhaps not deeply culti- vated-and an artistic woman. She has charming taste, and her horses are, nat urally, expressions of this taste. She
The age-herald., 1898-01-16

enjoys good acting, good pictures and good music, although her musical taste, like that of so many other Bostonians, Is a cultivated one. Constant olive eating is said to develop a love for the olive and constant attendance at symphony concerts cannot fail to de- velop at least a tolerance of classical music.
 As a hostess. Mrs. Gardner is an espe- cial success. Her dinners and musicals are always perfect in their way, for she chooses her dinner guests as enter taining human beings, not as mere so- cial debtors to be paid a dinner, and at her musicals the music is always good and the surroundings such as bet- ter the effect of the music. At 5 o'clock afternoon teas Mrs. Gardner is at her best. At that hour she is surrounded by her favorites, and if her followers of today are young and rather uninter. esting, they are almost as naturally harmless as young girls would be.
 Mrs. Montgomery Sears was Ito the manner born," being a daughter of MT. Charles r. Choate, although her hus- band is not one of the aristocratic Sears family. The father of Montgomery Sears was thoroughly self made man. and his hoarded and accumulated wealth placed his son in the front rank of Boston millionaires and gained him a position his forefathcrs could nsver have foreseen. It is said that MT. Sears inherits many traits from his father, although he can be lavish enough if hs desires so to be.
 Mrs. Scars is charming, wcmsnly wcnsen. ncts5 for her besuty.

Travelling In Luxury.

The height of luxurious travelling has been reached by the czar and czarina. The empress private car is upholstered in pale blue satin. The electric lamps are all in the form of lilies, and it con- tains writing and tea tables made of mother of pearl. The nursery Is the next apartment and is as comfortable and handsome as the same rooms in any of the czar's palaces. There are dining rooms and drawing rooms and several sleeping apartments. In fact. this train is a miniature palace. The wheels are covered with india rubber tires.
