D { New York. Aug. 17.-(Special.) )-- New York women are up in arms over the rule which large number or no tells and restaurants have adopted that no woman shall be served in the even ing unless accompanied by maie es- cort. They are not in the least I'm pressed by the argument of hotel ana restaurant managers that the rule was adopted for the protection of respect able woman, and that Instead ot con- demning it they should give 1t loyal support.
 The contention of the managers is that if they serve women wltnous s flock to the hotels and restaurants, making such establishments their places for meeting men. Under the circum- stances, they say, respectable women are liable to be accosted and annoyed, and the only remedy is to bar all wo-i men unless their escorts have been sec cured, in advance.
 Enforcement of this rule already has resulted in damage suit against the Hoffman House. and other actions at law are threatened Should Mrs. Har- riet Stanton BIach. plaintiff in the Hoffman House suit, recover damages, the New York hotels and restaurant proprietors are sure to be kept busy defending similar actions.
 When Mrs. Blatch was refused ser vice at the Hoffman House roof gar den restaurant she sent her card to the management and demanded an ex- pIanation. She was informed that the rule was for the protection of just such women as herself. and that no excep- tions to 1t would be made. T was told" said Mrs. BIatch, that I oth- erwise would be hurt by seeing fast women come in and make appointments with men. Now, suppose they make them on the doorstep, and l am quite as much hurt, or more so, by seeing these women with men at the table next to me.
 'sThe point seems to me not to con- cern itself with the character of the woman, but with her behavior. It IS to be inferred that there are occasions when the women of the underworld go into d restaurant purely and simply be- oausA they are hungry and give them selves entirely to the business of eat ing without disturbing any one, ana under such circumstances there seems no good reason why they should not be served.
 ~The whole matter hinges on wheth- CT the individual is orderly. Every public eating place has it's discretion ary power, and 1t seems, in the case Of men. to be exercised very loosely YOU often see a very much intoxicated man being served when he is necessarily an annoyance to those near him.
 'sWhether some of the world con siders that women have any right to be out of the home or not, the fact re- mains that they are. There are pro- feseional women by the hundreds who work just as man does, and get Just as tired, and why they should De oe- prived of their dinners because unac- companied by man Is mystery.
 one unescorted woman who was de- nied service at fashionable restau- rant got even in her own peculiar way She went to the nearest district mes- eenRer ofhce, secured the services ol the dirtiest, raggedest messenger ooy she couId find, and returned to the cafe. She had her escort, ana hao lo he served and the messenger boy en- iovad a meal, the like of which he had never even dreamed.
 pr Rirrar,s statement that John D. Rockefeller has been reborn physical- ly. and that he will not die peIore reaehing the age of 96. has caused more exeitement among the New Yorks SICK millionaires than stock e1chahse panic. Dr. Biggar's further statement that 1t cost Rockefeller $5'oOO.OoV te be cured doesn't feaze the rich lnva- IA. so much as does the prescription which pr. Biggar gives.
