IONS Perhaps yellow journalism has
wrought no greater evil than in LASH
ing 60 fury. In the uuadultcratod fic-
ton OF its so-called news about
the doings Of the rich. the narrow
minds of It's readers who. Ia the
main. never look at what u offers as
antidote for its poison, but turn over
IT. pages IN pursuit of It's most sen-
sationnl pictures ana stories. II has
boguilod and betrayed their unframed
minds with impossible stories Of con-
duct by decent and well-hred people,
surprising ali the dreams of mad
ness. II has spread It's tables with
ham sandwiches ana caviare sand
witches and invited It's patrons 10 take
both. There Is never ham sand
witch left, bat so much Of the caviarc
has now accumulated and decayed
that The mass has become an offonse
both to eyes and nostrils
But Mrs. ogden Mills view IL tho
purely social one. She resents the
report that she could ever sit al table
with "a monkey. not because she fears
the seeds OF revolution. which even a
fool might be expected 10 ser such a
lie would SOW. but because II Is a re-
Election upon her social caste. Mrs.
Mills would like 20 have Il under

all and singular the other branches
Of the simian species. are put in the
same class with oil OF the rest OF the
world outside Of her charmed circle.
and that. the line having been inflex-
IDLY drawn against all lower forms OF
life. no exception II ever made. on
the contrary, her policy ~ one OF sub
traction and not OF addition. and she
is even now casting out Of New York
society a large number of people
long recognized as part OF H. The
iady's sincerity Is fully proved in
this. She has the courage of her con-
victions. Denying that monkeys ever
have been or ever can be a part OF
exclusive society" she Is proving her
faith by her works. In casting out an

suspicion of prchensibility.
The occasion arises out OF the round
Of entertainments in honor OF the
duke and duchess OF Connaught. in
New York, These being OF the blood
royal, Ambassador and Ambassadors
Reid have come over from London e

And II Is seen that, under their di'
rcctlons. and the mandates of Mrs
ogden Mills, @ large number OF peopl,
who have long felt themselves secur,
in their places are hurled down and
out. through edicts which must stand
not only for this occasion but for al
future occasions. Those who fail q
meet the duke and duchess on IN,
inside will have 20 meet the monkeys
on the outside. And thereby will
hang a long series Of new tales, ex'

Mills TO hold her ayenging hnnd, @
not for our sakes. then. perhaps, foi
the sake Of our beloved country.
