Mr.. Henry Wattersons recent attack

of approval and some in the nature of
sharp retorts. OF the latter none was
more cleverly expressed or more author

Caroline Duer, one of the leaders of the
set which Mr.. Watterson has criticized
If any one is qualified to speak of the
Four Hundred, either in criticism or
defense, Miss Duer certainly is. She be-
longs by birth to one of the Oldest of
the old Knickerboc families. fam.

revolution and therefore to that class
of New York society which Mr.. Waiter
son commends and is related by mar
riage to the. other class, the multimil-
lionaires, the nouveaux riches, the. chill
dren of those very army-contractors of
civil war time of whom Mr.. Watterson's
whitening comment is that they made
fortunes out of the Opportunities of the
time, shall weosay out of the travail of
their country and of their country
mem"
Mr.. Watterson has separated these
two classes of fashionable New York
society in his arraignment of the latter.
He tickets them respectively as the
sheep and the goats, But the time has
passed when that could be done with a
proper regard for the facts in the case.
