There will be Sunday night concerts in

Theatre, for the present at least. This decision
reached yesterday after a consultation between
George w. Lederer who is producing the entertain
ment being given the roof and Klaw &
Erlanger, proprietors of the theatre. The reason
for discontinuing the performances lies in the
willingness Of the managers to go contrary to the
authorities regarding the Sunday night concert.

Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish's Climb.
Again there are those who climb, ar
rive, and, what is even more essen
tial, have their climbing forgotten, all
in life time. Thus has il been with
Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish, who surely
scintillates on the summit of So
ciety.
Never, however, was Mrs. Fish lack
ing in ability. nor was she of other
than gentle breeding Again, through
her early marriage with a member of
one of New YOrk's oldest families, one
whose traditions are interviewer with
those of George Washington and Alex
ander Hamilton, it at once became pos
sible for her to draw the proverbial
line in the face of the very exclusive
Her social ambitions ran high, and
were helped along by originality. She
possesses, moreover, the mack of en-
tertaining freely. Society likes to be
entertained, and Mrs. Fish is past
mistress of novelty.
With tact, she must also have in
cluded in her social capital the cheer
fulness of youth. Seldom is she with
out an intimate and adoring friend
among the younger set a girl of
amusing talent and abundant attrac-
tons for the men, one who is a ready
aid in keeping the up-to-date ball roll
ing. Each year that Mrs. Fish has
ascended, these youthful satellites
have also been carried upward.
1t was Mrs. Fish who first proved
the advantage of keeping at her side
one of the jeunesse dore, the young
man who is ambitious to rise and shine
on the social ladder. He has become
an accepted figure in the social world.
Perhaps that element in a man
which most often recommends him
to be selected for the favor of a
grand dame is, curiously enough,
strongly developed femininity. So
ciety women like man in their train
who will criticise their gowns for
them, tell them when their hair needs
touching up, and make out the lists
for their formal dinners. AS one So
eiety leader has said, There is small
use in dressing for a husband who
never knows cotton from silk"
Harry Lehr, whose climbing may
now be regarded as over, struggled
up the social ladder in this fashion.
1t was Mr.. Lehr who held Newport
spellbound during the rivalry between
Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish and Mrs. Her
mann Oelrich. as to whom should re-
tain his service as secretary extraor-
binary.

By Alice B. LounsberrY.
While it is supposed by the uniniti
ate that Mrs. Astor's revised directory
of New York society contains 600
names of those who have really and
truly arrived. in truth it might be di-
vided into three chapters devoted as
follows
I-Those who surround the social
apex by right of birth and family.
II.-Those who have arrived by
means of persistent, legitimate climb
ing.
III.-Those who are still climbing
breathlessly. but with every prospect
of success.
AS the average American admires,
above all things, grit, a hard-won fight
and a successful climber socially or
otherwise, perhaps the Climbers of the
Past, who now rest on their laurels,
form the most interesting class.
When dear old Commodore Wander
blt sat in the kitchens of New Jer-
sey's naughty patricians, and related
his ambition of putting into commits
sion a small boat to travel weekly to
New York, for such merchandise as
those good people might desire, he was
not regarded as a thrillingly roman
tic individual. Even when his dream
had merged into a reality, his achieve
ment pasesd without rousing any great
interest in the minds of those who then
formed the aristocracy.
The VnnderbiIts' Rise.
In fact, it was not until the Commo-
dore could establish a mans fortune
in the financial world by nod of his
head, when his sons began to erect CO.
lossal mansions on Fifth avenue. that
society sat up straight and began to
inquire whom these new-made million
aires would entertain. and a mimic
civil war in the social holy of holes
was waged for time over the burning
question.
Then Mrs. Astor, serene in the con-
seriousness of unquestioned power, pull
ed the doorbell attached to the resi-
dence of the late w. K. Vanderbilt and
for few brief minutes permitted her
self to be entertained in his sumptuous
drawing-room. The climbing days of
the Nanderbilts were over forever. They
had arrived. Their ascent had been
marvelously quick.
