whose entrance into the best Amer
can and English society is unques-
toned, made the declaration that
"the most useless, brainless, selfish.
end purposeless order of beings in
the world constitute fhe society OF
this country.
She expressed the opinion that the
reason that international marriages
with society girls of wealth have
proven failures 8 because the girls.
themselves haven't enough mentality.
culture, education or serious purpose
to interest, for any great length OF
time, TIE noblemen OF England, or to
meet the requirements Of the situa-
ton she finds abroad
There's no occasion for brains in
our society," she declared, "at least
not in New York-that which | have
seen-and, consequently, girls do not
prepare themselves or cultivate their
capabilities. They have enough for
what is demanded of them and do not
attempt anything, more difficult.
IL you join gracefully In the in
antics of an ordinary dinner table,
you will pass, but If you should hap
pen to touch on anything that the
real men Of our country are doing
the men who are accomplishing
things-or if yor venture into an in
teliectual discussion on any subject
you would be stunned as an intoler-
able bore.
Society men and women are mere
ly selfish, piggish and contented with
creature comforts.

entire society element in New York,
neither the city nor the country at
large would be the worse for the
loss for they would not be missed"
