that dueling could never be introduced
here with safety. When an American

weapons he is mad enough to kill, and
that would never do, you know The

If an up-to-date goddess Of peace
were established by the smart set
there are a plenty of candidates to
toss olive branches at her feet. For
instance, the Vanderbilts and the Will
sons might bury the Ratchet, dug up
because of the marriage Of young Cor
nelius 10 Miss Grace Wilson. In this
particular row there are innumerable
supporters on both sides. One of the
Wilson girls is married to a Goelot
ana naturally the Goclets take the
Wilson side. Orme Wilson married
Carrie hst0r, 50 the Astors are brought
into the fuss.
Then The Vandcrbilts and the Bel
monts might worship at the shrine Of
the proposed goddess with satisfactory
results to society at large. The Van
derDlts have never had anything TO do
with Mrs. Oliver Hazard Perry Bel
mont since she obtained her divorce
from her first husband, Mr.. W. X. Van
derb.lt and as a result the whole elan
Of Belmont is now arrayed against the
Vanderbilt host
And the Riyes with their numerous
connections. have nothing whatever to
DO with the Belmonts, for the reason
that Mrs. George L. RiYts was the first
wife Of 0. f. p Belmont She had
one daughter by aim, and her hatred
tgr the name of Belmont was 50 IN
sense that she had the childs name
legally changed to Rives.
Some society folks with more cour-
age than others would not consent to
receive Mrs Coleman Drayton when
her mother, Mrs Aston, endeayored to
re-estab..sn her in society, and these
became targets for the Aston wrath.
James J. Van Allen, a son-in-Iaw Of
Mrs. Aston, took up the cudgels in be-
half Of Mrs. Dravton, and as a result
many people have little to do With Mr.
Van Allen.
These are merely a few sample cases

OF the differences existing in the swell
set. Others which originated score

but they are ancient history, But
from these few cited it can be seen that
there is lot OF trouble in store for

"THE PASSION PLAYS" EARNINGS,


"One would expect that religiously
imbued community, giving play
because of religious vow, would seek
to make the entrance price as small as
possible, in order that all might come
and learn writes Ida Sharper HoNie,
OF The Passion Play This Year, in the
Ladies' Home Journal But the
people of Oberammergau, having
learned the value of their pro-
duction, seem nothing 10th to combine
religion with business They charge,
therefore, as much as the regular Ger
man theatres-the prices this year
varying from fifty cents to two dollars
and fifty cents. The expenses incurred
by the village in preparing for this
years presentation exceed Soventy-iiNe
thousand dollars. Yet the people hope
to realize something for themselves
from their work, One-third OF what
remains after the expenses are paid
will be devoted to building vault and
chapel in the village burial place, The
remaining two-thirdS will be divided
among the players among whom there
will be at least one representative from
