wonders how she can get through her
daily routine. Not alone is she active
socially, but her charitable enterprises
are many, and she does not intrust
them to suberdinates. Mrs. eSpeyer IS
deluged with invitations. She mainT
tains g. high~plac An the ultra fash
ionable set, and in addition is enter
tanned by many women who do not
claim social distinction. Mrs. Speyer
never overlooks an invitation. If only
for a moment, she will look in on
minor reception and thereby she makes
the hostess her lifelong friend. In her
charitable work she comes in contact
with great many questionable wom-
en-. She never entertains on large
scale. She gives little dinners often,

Both Mrs. Anthony Drexel and Mrs.
John r. Drexel were Baltimore girls,
but the former woman was of
loftier set than her vivacious kins-
woman. Mrs Anthony Drexel was a
Miss Armstrong and sister Of Mrs.
w. Rhinelander Stewart, and Mrs.
John Drexel was merely Allie Troth,
whose parents had limited prestige
in the aristocratic city. When Mrs.
John Joined the Drexel family Mrs.
Anthony did not greet her with open
arms and was accused Of patronizfng
the new sister-in7law. 81 did not
know her in Baltimore explained
Mrs. Anthony laconically. But it was
not long before Mrs. John became
quite independent, and about three
years ago she fired the first shot into
the camp Of the Anthonys. Mrs. An

Rosie Boote quickly is becoming a
favorite with those naughty members
of the British aristocracy who a few
year ago applauded the Prince of
Wales, now the king. when he used his
influence against the marriage of the
chorus girl to the young Marquis CT
Headfort. She has curbed the Eighty
ambitions of her husband, presented
a fine boy to him and by holding aloof
form the self elect in the peerage has
attracted them to her. Those who
have visited the Headforts in their
country home in the hunting coun-
| try in Ireland say the change in the
and that she now carries herself with
all the reserve and dignity Of one born

entertained recently by many promi-

weeks ago the Warehouses and our
Duchess of Roxburghe met in one Of

rage a year ago, now hurry up and

walk in a way showing that one is do
