that millionaires are counted by the

Mrs. Aster has announced quietly but
firmly that large entertainments OF tho
character OF the Assembly can no longer
rule Private bathrooms are 80 many and
so gorgeous that exclusive society must
henceforth owe IT'S hospitality 10 a gra-
ciOus hostess rather than TO a long line
OF distinguished NATIONS who grace the
Assembly's reception committee.
IL was only last year that Mrs. Aston
herself headed that line and virtually
put period 10 the career Of this star or
the social constellation. 1t had reached
its meridian. Its decline is now ineyita-
bic. A further reason for this unexpected
move on the part OF the social leader IS
the fact that society is now composed OF
so many sets that IL will naturally divide
itself into groups rather than enormous
gatherings.
