drive with us and see this astonishing
gal Of mine in role new to YOU"
We left the dining room, with its
hundred of guests bubbling on a rising
tide of conversation, with the animated
scene at the height of the evenings
gayety and glamor, and were driven to
Mrs. Lacquerre's residence, where the
ladies soon changed from their dinner
toilets into simple gowns. Then we
drove to a part of the city had not

crowded yet strangely lacking in ami
nation, as If the multitude were listless
from fatigue or lack of interest in a
further struggle for life. We were in
the section where population is moro

poor.
At a ground floor hall, large room

down. which Breezy did with rather
crestfallen air. He had been particularly
proud of this effort, and had stood behind
his register a dozen different times dur

and break out into laughter. A week
later they made him take another one
down, and Mr.. Leslie called him aside.

humorous you are as loud as q barrel Of

Breezy grunted ungracious acquies-

mouth twitehed at the recollection Of
some. of the cards. But they continued to
be as fragrant as ever. Thompson COM

I must explain that on certain nights

there were lamentations for the fear

under her worldly cynicism dwelt a
character which would prompt her to
do such work as this.
Places were found fer us on plat

of Frances and struck few chords OF
music, which were greeted with frantic
cheers-they were the signal that

there was bit of humor in it. The obese

ers to whom hotel life is a matter of
real concern as to their comfort, but
to the more exclusive who look upon
that life as they do the theater, as
source of occasional entertainment, did
these openings offer subject of COM
ment. Mrs. LacQuerre said that we
must see the new elephants, and |
made plans to do so. I will not occupy
your attention with observations on
the contrasting social atmospheres we
experienced at the two hotels-at one,
an air almost as If we were at private
home of pronounced richness and ele-
gance; at the other, as If at some
festival of the Tuileries-with no hint
of red capped figure to alright.
These might be profitable speculations
for brighter pen than mine, would
be worthy a chapter by the philosoph-
er historian I long to welcome. But
it were futile for me more than thus
to indicate the surging tide of mate
realistic splendor which has risen over
New York. All, not all New York!
That is the point. Another New York
does not so much as know of the ex-
istence of these palaces whose OPEN
ings were the notable events in the
programmes of pleasure of those at
our elbows when we dined there.
Miss Frances Lacquerre brought this
to my mind, and at the same time re-
vealed a phase of her life of which un-
til then l had no intimation. AS we sat
at table illumfned with the soft rays
of delicately shaded electric lights, ST.

liked by most of her hearers. watch
ed the faces of the people as Frances
sweetly smiling, stepped to the front
of the platform. Pale from under
nourishment and bad air, lined with
early toll, they frightened and were
TRANSPORTED as they eagerly, breath
lessly waited for the sound of her
voice. There were women there of her
own age, with faces and features as
faultless, possibly, but in whose eyes
animation had been smothered by hard,
dull lives. These especially looked at
her with wondering rapture in their
awakened eyes, She first sang simple
folk song of Italy, and at the first note
the eyes of the elders filled and those
of the younger glowed until every
shade of care was banished by the new
light of happiness.
The italians cheered wildly when she
finished, and then there were loud de-
mands for certain German song.
This she sang graciously, and her first
triumph was repeated. I looked at
her and I saw a transformation as
great as that in the faces of her listen
ers. Surely, here was not the polish
ed society girl whose hardness to me
had been so cruel! Now her eyes were
soft and filled with a great, under
standing pity which gave her an ex-
