Entertainment Of Women.

The invasion OF the labor field by

while she may not have been denied

special effort WAS made Tor her accom-
modatiou. Now this is changed, says
George 5. Sweeney, manager of the
Hotel Victoria, in New York, and the
leading hotels in all the great cities
make every effort to secure and retain
the patronage Of women guests. The
average woman, with an independent
income, is 4 good spender, and the
hotel men have no desire to check
the crankily exacting woman, under
such conditions. IT she has the

can take the "cake" whenever she
wants it. This is as it should be.
There Is no more sense in demanding

to undergo the same Identification as

1t Is Now ONLY TO-

Now that Ward McAllister, who
KEEP, the bars up 50 long for the SO
called blue-blood stock, i. dead, there
seems to be really nobody to perform
that important function, and the
Smart Set has been doing many fool
ish things, aside from establishing q
precise definition OF details to control
the social swim.
4 recognized fcader has, however
taken up the matter OF establishing
the always necessary and imperative
rule for pre-eminence, limitation OF
number OF the favored few, with the
ever-present object OF making mem
bership badge for precedence on all
occasions and everywhere. This dicta-
tor Of the future forms Of social su.
premacy is Mrs. Astor, and the Occa-
sion was dinner in honor OF Prince
Louis of Battenburg, given in New
York on the 18th ult., at which the
invited bon-ton set was ruthlessly cut
from 1907 to barely seventy.nine.
The function was in keeping with its
exclusiveness, and everything was done
with a magniiicence that would shame
the foremost and most opulent society
leaders OF past ages, when it is said
pearls were sometimes dissolved in
wine to add to reckless cost, if not ca.
ter to the refined taste OF either host
or guests.
Just imagine the tribulations of the
remaining 321 who were left to cool
their toes on the steps OF the big front
door. Society is nothing if not noted
for its turbulence; its con tentions and
striies; its pull down of others to
build up self; its janus-faced leaders
who smile and smirk in one moment
and assail by taunt or innuendo the
next. II Mrs. Astor's ears have not
tingled since the Admiral. Prince ban.
quet, it is because they have become
80 accustomed to assault that they are
as imperious to back-biters" as were
those OF the mythical brass monkey.
The "79" were served on the Astor
gold dinner service, and throughout
the repast Herberts orchestra, who
ride on the crestwave of the sea of
harmony, literally turned notes into
gold-pieces. There were only four
girls in the party Of 49," and Alice
Roosevelt was one of them, and the
remainder could trace their lineage as
far back, at least Of the Astors, when
they invaded the wilderness for the
golden fleece in the shape Of musk.rat
pelts.
