to point him out as a very worthy SUCCESSOR
to the one time director Of New York s
society.
When he came back 10 New York last
autumn Mr., MARTIN found all his friends
settling down apparently to a winter Of
discomfort brought about by the financial
troubles, One aftef another said to him,

while on the contrary the infusion Of foreign

His own entertaining this winter has
been done at the Plaza as a matter OF con-
venience. and il Is Mr.. Martins opinion
that entertaining on a large scale will in
the future have 10 be done at some Of the
big hotels that have taken this need into
consideration, have tremendous bathrooms,
with adjoining suites Of salons and dressing
rooms, and furnish all the privacy Of a
private house.
But that does not mean that the hospi-
tality Of the roof tree will be done away
with, for that is after all the supreme compi-
ment, and all the entertaining Of note that
has been done among the various sets

In other classes and other conditions OF
life, Mr., Martin does not pause to say that
he must not be interviewed. but states
frankly and freely that the majority Of
people whom he knows are very unhappy

mad rush for excitement a hunt which takes
them away from the only true happiness

Tho quality that ia necessary for success

scarcely scale the first low wall Of approach
X This is a fact that is cause Of wonder
not only to people who often get in but az
well TO women who have been born and
brought up to social honors and see them
without any cause showered on some one
who at first glance does not seem to have
any special right to them. Lady Arthur
Paget one time called Mr.. Martins atten-
tion to some Of the young women who had
made surprising successes In London So
cety, coming comparatively unknown and
fairly taking people Of their feet with the
I excitement Of their SUCCESS, and the same
thing, Mr.. Martin AYERS, is true OF New
York society, which is in many ways much
more difficult TO get into than that Of Lon
don.

refuse its favors 10 her kin. Very fre.
quently it happens that these young women
are just az surprised at their own success
as anyone else could be, for il has come not
as a reward OF tremendous effort, constant
wire pulling and sordid ambitions, but
has been bestowed gladly and freely in
response to that peculiar attribute already
referred to which is as rare as genius and
which is recognized almost as generously
by the world.
Not very long ago a charming young
woman came 10 MIR Martin for his advice
on a subject which was very important to
her, She was really beautiful and well
educated. was wealthy and had no dead
weight Of undeTirable family connections.
But she waSlnot content. She wanted
TO get into society, not that Of the smaller
cities or towns, not that Of the suburbs
and Continental watering places, but the
only society in the world which she thought
worth an Americans ambition-that Of
New Yorks Four Hundred for the old
term still prevails where she came from.
She wanted him to tell her how 10 ao-

to bs taken into account New York,
socially considered, is the Rome toward
which all roads lead, and these roads are
constantly filed with elements that cannot
be ignored.
Every season the sets that have been
formed show certain changes. Some Of
them grow larger, taking in a few who
are mutually agreeable others, on the
contrary, grow smaller and still more eX-
elusive. refusing TO I'll places left vacant
by deaths OF absences. Young : married
couples form sets Of their own and draw

At present one could not recall in a
moment the many different sets that are
included in that term New York society.
There is the Meadow Brook crowd, with
which the Payne Whitneys and the Burdens
are affiliated; the artistic and literary. with
Mrs. Clarence Mackay; the old Washington
Square set, with the De Pcysters and the
Livingstons. the set Of Mrs. Willie Sloane
and Mrs. Fish.
Mrs. William Astor, Sr., kept in touch
with all the different sets and was able TO
bring them together when she desired.
Mr.. Martin has done this same thing him
self this season and has shown what a
tremendously effective body society can
be made by the amalgamstion Of these
sets, and how easily it might become dis
integrated into cliques.

The Presidents Letters
philadelphia Record.)

Laws cannot impair the constitu-
tional prerogatives of the President,
and when the legislative branch of the
Government invades the domain of
the executive it is the duty of the
President to defend the authority of
his office. President Cleveland re-
fused to comply with a remnant of
the Tenure of Office act, passed to
reduce the power of Andrew Johnson,
on the ground that the law was I'M
constitutional; and Congress yield
ed and repealed what remained of
the law after it had been greatly modi-
fed to accommodate General Grant
But Mr.. Roosevelts' incurable de-
sire to write and talk all the time has
impelled him to the folly and i'm
propriety of writing long letters to
three Senators telling them what he
will do if Congress shall enact GER
tain legislation, and instructing them
copiOuSly in his view of his own du-
ties and theirs. This is a most indie
corOus proceeding. He has no right
to seek to control the action of Con-
gress. After Congress has acted he
may veto measure, or if he believes
it to impair the constitutional rights
of his office he may ignore the law,
subject to the review of his actions by
the Courts
But he has no business to send for
Senators and Representative to come
to the White House and listen to his
TRADES, or to write letters to them an
nouncing what he will do in the event
of certain action by Congress and eX-
planning to them what he thinks of
their speeches and resolutions or of
measures pending before them. No
Court would tolerate this sort OF
interference from an outside source,
no matter how high. No one would
be quicker or better than Mr.. Roose-
welt in resenting the efforts of Sena-
tors and Representative to instruct
him in his duties. The courtesies
of public life, no less than the provis-
ions of the Constitution, dictate the
confinement of each branch of the
Government to its constitutional
functions, and the resentment of
Senators is not only natural, but it is
justifiable and wholesome.
