lions. In fact, I don't See how any one
can separate the sum he or she spends
IN entertaining faidd dIom the e. sum total Of
haps, for the reason that, willy nilly,
the wealthy are bound to entertain, and
their houses, furnishings and equipages
are means to that end. From that stand
point $50, 600 is a mere bagatelle.
"Extravagant? Why, certainly society
is getting to be more extravagant every
minute. Entertainments which my wife
thought very elegant ten years ago she
turns her nose up at now. Her dinners

Some New Workers are spending every
year on motor cars alone what would have
been called a small fortune in the old
days. But a manufacturer can tell more
about that phase OF New York extrava-

appearance most New York men, even
the richest. had only one said the man
same men now keep five and six. What
is more, several rich men have their own
garages and employ skilled machinists
by the year to- do nothing but keep the
machines in order.
TITS all nonsense to say America hasn't
a leisure class That statement may have
held good twenty-five years ago; 1t is
not true now. This company has been
dealing with New Yorks wealthy class
for that many years, and have noticed
in that time the rapid multiplication of
men of almost entire leisure. by which
mean men who drop in between II and

again about 8 O'Clock or a little later.
They have been downtown meanwhile

that, which can scarcely be called hard

If hostess wants to give two or

not go very far. Cotillon favors for zoo
persons may be had for $1,000, but thoy
are more likely to cos, $4,000 and many
easily mount up to as much again. Fre-

Ny friend who spends about $4,000 a
month for entertaining does not give balls
guests, nor does she give continuous
house parties at her country hous, in

II could name dozens of my friends
who never spend less than $4,000 a year
for entertaining and that does not in
clude the amount spent in keeping up
their automobiles and other accessories,
like an opera box and two or three out
of-town cottages, which are maintained
quite as much for their friends as for
their own diversion"
When these figures were quoted to a
man whose expenditures are large he
reflected a moment and then said slowly.

VERY few of the carriage and recep-
ton gowns worn by fashionable women
cost less than $780, No, the price Is not
exorbitant. The fabrics used in such
creations justify the price.
MANY OF the smart street costumes,
consisting of a cloth skirt and short coat
cost almost as much if made by the best
costumers and well dressed woman
must have at least two of the latter and
four reception gowns in her outfit. This
means an outlay of at least 1920, to
which sum add another thousand for tea
gowns and lingerie.
Five hundred dollars is not an ex-
orbitant price for an opera cloak. and
the two long carriage cloaks which are
necessary in addition to the opera cloak
will cost from $500 to 5000 each, the price
depending largely on whether they are
trimmed or not with expensive fur.

to cloth, and that Is, it requires to be
softened by lace or lingerie, If it is elab-
orately embroidered, for the embroidery
or braiding has the odd effect of making
it seem harder or harsher in outline. OF
course, this year the craze for all the soft
trimming makes it easier to deal with and
the combination Is certainly most charm
ing.
k.4aBROIDEREDs SILK ON vOnE
Embroidery on silk as a trimming for
voile gowns adds greatly to their beauty
and is generally worked in the same color
as the gown itself. or just a shade darker.
The Persian embroidery used as trim
mings for waistcoats or jackets still con-
tfnues to be popular, although 1t is not
so smart as lingerie, lace and velvet
By the way, 1t is very fashionable this
season to have a touch Of darker colored
velvet in the trimming of waist or jacket
Occasionally a contrast in color Is used,
and a very marked contrast 1t must be
too marked, in fact. to be rashly recon-
mended. as there is no pitfan more dan
gerous than the question OF color con-
trast. unless ones individual taste Is
universally acknowledged to be decidedly
satisfactory. BY universally" is not
meant the members Of the immediate
family. With the pale pink gowns there
is darker pink velvet-in fact, a deep
rose, green or brown can be used to
advantage, but any one Of these three
colors, if not the right shade, viii be
anything but satisfactory.
There is a new material this year among
the wash fabrics that has q very silky

No one knows but themselves. What
most of them demand is speed, conse-
quently they will pay almost any price
for new car, provided it goes faster
than the older makes. Although $4,000
or $4,000 will buy a first-class motor car,
New York men will pay as high as $4,000
for an imported machine guaranteed to
go like creased lightning. :,
No one can say how much money the
Vanderbilt boys have sunk in buying au-
tomobiles and racing them. Take men
like Fred Bourne, who has built prf-

Jacob Astor, and $25, ,090 is conservative
figure to give when estimating the amount
of money spent every year for automo-
