Where They Travelled.
The Thorne boys, who are mighty hunt
ers satisfied their thirst for adventure and
travel by penetrating the uttermost parts
of India, and now they are at home with
speaking likenesses of tigers done across
the upper right biceps; young Webb, who
has seen more in Siberia, they say, than
any other American, wears the head of
Siberian wolf on his right arm; and the
proof of Willie Jays wonderful escapes
and daring adventures is none other than
the well-defned scar of four lions teeth
on the arm, by which a Wild beast in the
African jungle dragged him down.
OF course, there are ill-natured cynics
who hint that any sailor on the New York
docks can prick out as pretty tiger face
as an East Indian jungle beater, and that
many of these nimrods have nothing but
a circus and menagerie acquaintance with
the terrible beasts of prey, but be that as
il may, the pretty girls thoroughly believe

great majority of whom undoubtedly have
shot over ratahs' preserves, crossed deserts
and scaled perfectly inaccessible mountain
peaks and done fun credit to their native
American pluck and ambition.
Hard Lines for Newcomers.
1t is, of a truth, easier for a camel to
go through a needles eye than for a new
conner to get into New York society on
anything like one seasons Introduction.
New York society is conducted very much
on the lines on which a popular theater
is managed. Long before the season
opens all the dates are taken up, invita-
tons sent out and gayeties planned. New
corners settling at Newport. for instance,
who provided with the finest introduce
tons, may naturally desire TO give hand
some entertainments, will find them
selves, to put it mildly but eXpressively,
very sadly left This viii be from no
i'll will or lack of hospitable incIinations
on the part of the leaders of Newport
but simply because they have not va
cant chair at their dinners nor left
over card from their balls to offer their
new friends.
AS early as in the Lenten season the
arrangement of all the summer house
parties, the linners, balls, lecture courses
and picnics were made out. The score
tares of Mrs. Aston Mrs. Vanderbilt,
Mrs. Goelet, Mrs. Gerry and such ladies,
were busy as bees making up their en-
and answering invitations, so that when
these ladies and their friends unpack their
fine frocks and open their doors at mill
lionarevilie-by- the-Sea all the worry, fret
and bore of thinking up and arranging en-
tertainments is like visits to the dress
maker-a recollection of the past. The
secretaries have done the drudgery, regis
tered the dates for everything, and If ever
life went on creased wheels it runs thus
for our fashionable folks.
In consequence of this sl0lfully planned
device, il is next to impossible for any
one recently on the ground to get a good
seat at Nine. Dives table or even so much
as secure a chance at the crumbs. Thus
we are well on the way to securing an
aristocracy as limited as the closest BUSH
ness corporation.
OF course of there is a death or an ill
ness in a family vacancy is created, and
then one of the outsiders is called in TO
fill the place. But IL you wish to get
