BY Leased Wire to The Tribune.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1s.-The narrow
limits that have bounded New York s
leading social set in the past seem to
have broadened, and it now is not the
"400,' as we have been accustomed to,
but more nearly the "4000,' who lead
in the social affairs of the city. This
appears to be fulfilling the prediction
Of Frederick Townsend Martin that new
leaders and new factions would develop.
thus increasing the number until the
exclusive walls would ultimately be
broken.
Each circle of young folks has its
entertainments, and thus the city Is
composed of many coteries of young
people who have their own associations
and enjoy their own social gayetics, AS
these grow into leaders and the bellies
and beaux rningle with each other,
the limits of the social circle are broad
ened and the narrow walls that have
marked tho boundaries OF the social
world in the past have had to give way.
This fact was forcibly presented In
the recent dinner dance given by
Colonel John Jacob Astor at the Astor
mansion on Fifth avenue before his
departure on his West Indian cruise
The two Astor houses have been con-
vcrted into one, and afford one of the
most commodious homes for such So
cial affairs Of any place in the city.
Two hundred guests gathered at the
dinner, and 700 more at the cotillion,
SO that 900, instead of 400 were enter
tanned during the evening.
Another instance of the broadening
OF the social lines was presented in the
number OF invited guests al the Could
Decies wedding, and in the number of
guests at receptions and entertain
mcnts given in honor Of Count Albert
Apponyi, the Hungarian political
leader. during his visit TO New York.
