New York, February 1s.-(Special)- Tl& narrow limits that have bounded New York's leading social set in the past seem to have broadened and 1t now is not the 400" as we have been accustomed to but more nearly the '40oo," who lead in the social af- fairs of the city. This appears to be fulfilling the prediction of Frederick Townsend Martin that new leaders and new factions would develop, thus in- crea sing the numb CT until the exclusive walls would ultimately be broken. Each circle of young folks have their en- tertainments to which they invite their friends and thus the city is composed of many circles of young people who have their own associates and enjoy their own social gayeties. AS these grow into leaders and the belles and beaux mingle with each other. the Him. It's of the social circle are broadened and the narrow walls that have marked the boundary of the social world In the past have had to give way. This fact was forcibly presented In the re- Jacob Astor at the Astor mansion on Fifth avenue, before his departure on his West Indian cruise. The two Astor houses have been converted into one and afford one of the most commodious homes for such social affairs or any place in the ciE. Two hundred guests gathered at the dinner and 700 more at the cotillion. so that soo instead of 400 were entertained during the evening" Another instance of the broadening of the social lines was pre- sented in the number of invited guests at the Gould Decies wedding ana In the number of guests at receptions and entertainments given in honor of Count Albert Apponyi, the Hungarian politi- ical leader. during his visit to New York. Representative business men and political leaders were invited to meet the distinguished visitor and the list of guests at the social gatherings was not limited to the narrow restrlc- tions that have marked many such af- fairs during the past.
 Inere has been a slackening of the social gayeties during the past week following the busy period which pre- ceded it. Some of the leaders have gone to their country homes for brief rest. - sa

girls infatuation for a clergyman comes from Godollo in Hungary. The protestant pastor of the place. an ex- ceedingly good looking man, left his passionate to take up another elsewhere. Soon after departure an orphan girl of thirteen years of age. Ilona Lamba, hanged herself from a beam in the loft. The child, who was of a very quiet and reserved nature. had conceived a great passion for the rector. She only saw him when he came to an inn to play bowls. He was accustomed to stroke the child's hair as he passed through the kitchen to the bowling green No other communication passed between them.
 After his departure the child told her cousin that she could not live without seeing the pastor. In her prayer book 1t was found that she had written the following: My unforgettable, belived. the pastor of Baranya."

In the holiday season of 1907 the Red Cross desiring to forward anti-tubercu- losis work, issued as Christmas stamp in the state of Delaware and the city of Philadelphia. The experiment was suc- cess. In 1908 the movement was made national. The purpose Is to contribute to the support of organized tuberculosis work already in operation. The net pro- ceeds of sales are expended in the states and communities in which the sales are conducted In 1908 the total sales of stamps amounted to about $150,00, and in 1909 about $240.000. Returns for 1910 are not yet in hand.
 federal status, 1t receives no financial support from Congress It has had meager provision for Its necessary operat- ing expenses. It needs an emergency re- lief fund upon which to draw instantly at times without waiting for the returns from the public appeal and occasionally without making appeal at all, or to sup element an appeal when the returns are inadequate. Recently an effort has been begun to create for the Red Cross an en- dowment fund from the permanent in- come of which these deficiencies may be met. This effort promises to be success ful. Already about s650.Oo0 has been sub scribed. and 1t Is hoped the amount may reach $2,oo0 GOO.
 When its new charter was granted in 1905 the Red Cross lacked organization. Its resources were comparatively smal land its operations restricted. Its new strength Is reflected in the expenditure of almost $5,o0o,000 in relief following B disasters, and in broadened public appreciation.

R|VES ID MAKE
 HOME IN VIENNA

Vienna, February 1s.-(Special Ut is stated on good authority that MT. George B. Rives, who has for a number of years been first secretary of the American embassy here, but who recent ly resigned when notified that he was to be transferred to a South American capital, will make his home in Vienna. MT. Rives health Is not of the best and he feared the climate of Brazil would be too much for him. It was for this reason that he decided to give up his diplomatic career. He and his family have been very popular in Vien- na society and have formed so deep an attachment to the Austrian capital that they have decided to remain here the greater part of the time.
 The recent incident of Podwolocyz- sequences. It appears there was a quarrel between two Austrian gend armes and a Russian frontier guard, the latter was killed. and forty Russian soldiers opened fire upon the Austrians. Mutual explanations have been made and the parties at fault have been pun ished by their respective governments.
 Austria Is worried over the decrease in the birth rate in the empire. The preliminary official count of the Aus trian census to December 31, 1910, shows that the increase of the popula- tion during the last decade Is less than was anticipated. The birth rate has fallen from 40 per 1000 in 1870 to 20 per 1000 in 1910.
 The dreadnought estimates have been issued to the Hungarian delega- tion. The total cost of the new ship building program Is estimated at S6- 5OO0OO to be spread in installments over the next six years. The program includes four dreadnoughts "of about 10000 tons displacement each. The naval and military estimates to- gether amount to 10S.000.000.
