ON A HUGE SCALE

New York, Feb. 26.-The Cute Cut
Ups. who are making the town n
splotch OF artistic red, turkey trotted'
M frank hzz water again at the Cafe
Martin on the occasion Of the new de-
parture in art being the 10th anniver-
sary OF the founding OF the cafe. What
the Cute Cut-Ups didn't do to propriety
up TO the very wee, small hours OF the
mornin' would go through the eye Of q
needle.
They behaved in such risque fashion
that even j. b. Martin himself was
shocked. and the correspondent Of the
Paris Journal des Arts, Nj. Rougeron.
was so wrought up over 1t that he left
weeping, declaring 1t was just too
much like his dear Paree" for him to
remain any longer. The fun, which had
started at IL o'clock, was still going on
at 5 o'clock this morning.
Everybody connected with art and
wine received an invitation and every
body came In costume. Even the wait
ers were dressed like bandits, which
part they played with the becoming
ease due to long practice.
The cherubic countenance OF Edmund
Russell was missing. But his spirit
pervaded the atmosphere. Nearly all
his disciples were present. There was
the Baroness de Groys with her 81, 900
gown; Hattie Forsythe, devotee of art;
Mrs. George De Wolf. Of Vienna and
Paris: Bessie Lafell, Miss Louise Ste
wart and Mrs. Bettina Wilson, In q
stunning suit Of tights. A huge paint
Ing by Edmund Russell stood by the
entrance to the ballroom.
Some OF the costumes were Just such
creations as only the wives Of the wine
agents could hope to conceive. Others
were of the same daring, and q trife
more 30. One lady danced in q suit Of
harem trousers and wore q veil. She
the cynosure Of all eyes until he
lefted her veil to get a breath of air.
In the midst Of all the wine sellers
II artists. standing impressively
alone. was the representative Of Apol-
linaris; Nobody even looked at him.
One lady named Slaughter slid out on
the waxed floor about 3 .. m. and
kicked restraint into tatters. She had
leg almost entirely free for kicking
and looked as If she were wearing a
silk track suit. Her costume was ap-
plauded till the roof rang. Then the
Scottish bagpipers marched across the
floor, their pipes walling out in invita-
ton.
One particularly quiet miss in scarlet,
stood beside the Russell painting.
drinking in It's beauty could stand 1t
no longer. She bounded OF the floor
and began displaying a neat ankle to
the Jig Of the bagpipes.
AS the measure quickened she showed
q little bit MORE, and-well, those in
the balconies crowded down on the
lower floor n from that time on no
one seemed to care just what happened.
+. Augustus Heinze split his coat tails
dipping to the strains Of "Eeverybody's
Doing It." and the two Weber and
Fields show girls, Gladys Feldman and
Natalie Saymore, ragged" 1t with
him.
In the middle Of the dance Hattie
Forsythe's string Of pearls, which the
Grand Duke Alexis gave her, parted
and rolled owe the floor. There was
q wild scramble for them. All the
guests played at this for some time, as
the floor was very unsteady and be-
haved abominably just when one was
about to stoop.
The Lady of Mystery was there.
closely yelled and dancing like an elin
sprite. Who she was that Hattie For
sythe attended so closely and called
Dear" so often was a mystery no
longer when she unveiled later in the
wtneroom.
During the evening she was known
as Mirlanne Danesco. World wide pub
licity n certain sorrow has not
dimmed the glow In her eye nor wrin-
killed. the pretty throat s%culptors were
wont to rave over. She has taken to
studying the deeper poets now, and
as the Grand Bal Masque of
last night. Her first name Is Evelyn.
Just how much champagne flowed
into the $50 dancers the checkers will
tell later, but If general unsteadiness
and high pitched laughter Is an indi-
