something to be desired. What they rep
resent would be hard to say; certainly not

Vanderbilt family was split by the mar

young to be selected for SO signal social
honor, and there will be heart-burning
among their elders. However, if the re-
port of the matter proves true, young

Four Hundred have looked askance, will
have made the social coup of the year.

Passing of Restaurant That Was Landmark

Another landmark has gone the way of
all landmarks in this city of change.
Martins, or as it is better known, the
Cafe Martin (giving the French pronun-
citation II you please) was only seventeen
years old, but 1t was an institution never
theless. The cheerful. oldfashioned
building at Ninth street and University
place became, after Martin, a French
man from Central America, took it over as
a hotel, the only high class restaurant
in this city. 1t prospered from the first,
the French alone being its only patrons.
Then it became known as the real Bo
hemia," that phantasm which the gullible
New Yorker unweariedly pursues from
disillusion to disillusion. This reputation
means always rush Of patronage, for a
time, anyway. The Martin kept it's pat
| ronage because it's wine cellar was excel
| lent, and its dollar-and- quarter table
d'hote the best thing of its kind to be
found. There was curious rider to the
| table d'hote propositions; unless one or
| dered wine the charge was dollar and
a half. Perhaps it was this that gave
the place it's spice of attractive naughti-
ness to the out-of-town contingent, which
! came to consider that visit to New York
wasted which did not include an evening
| of mild dissipation at the famous French
restaurant. This was particularly true OF
