Disrupting Aristocracy.
Mrs, Barker Gummerc Of New York
and Trenton, N. j., has come near to
disrupting the jersey aristocracy of
the state capital. Mrs. Gummere, until
several years ago, occupied a prominent
place in Charleston, n, c., society, and
was well known among the mem"
bers of the smart set of New Orleans,
where her parents, Judge and Mrs.
E. A. Brcaux, live. When Mr.. Gum
mere who is a multi-millionaire, came
east and settled in Trenton. Mrs.
Gummere naturally took the initiative
in social affairs. She was elected presi-
dent of the Contemporary club, and
under her regime the younger element
became leading factor. This was dis
pleasing 10 some of the older members,
and social warfare was opened. 1t has
passed beyond the skirmish stage now,
and dire results are anticipated-re-
woman s clubdom all over the state of
New Jersey.
