These are legitimate. although IN
known guests.
This custom, however, has bred a
set Of parasites, a set Of gentlemen
thieves. who are quick to seize
every opportunity to steal It has
also bred q different sort Of parasite.
With so many strangers coming and
going, no one can positively spy out
the fmpostor.
There have been several runaway
marriages in society during the last
few years; marriages Of peSted
daughters with men little more than
servants. How have these court
ships been carried on? Only too
easily More than one chauffeur.
more than one groom from the
stables. has done himself up in the
proper evening clothes and slipped
into houses and openly made love to
heiresses
The impostor easily passes the
hostess. She looks at him, muir
murs, "He must be one Of Jacks
college friends" and gives him a
careless welcome. The rest is as
easy as falling on the ice.
These men are the most danger
Gus to the peace Of mind Of the So
ciety dame. She can forgive the
theft Of her jewels, but not the theft
Of her daughter. To protect herself
and her friends, the matron now
calls on the Society Secret Service
Among the matrons who have
long used this service in q small
way are Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt
Mrs. Ogden Mills. Mrs. John R.
Drexel, Mrs Robert Goelet, Mrs.
William K. Vanderbilt, ST., and
numerous others
The out1grown service was deveI-
oped by a man named johnson. This
enterplising person learned to know
every member Of society by sighe
He knew their grandparents, their
lovers, their family scandals. In the
beginning johnson was utilized onlv
for weddings. He and his men stood
al the church entrance and scrutin-
tied every one who entered.

with the invited guests Il IS a
most annoying situation, and to
meet It society has formed a secret
service Of its own. This service IN
oertakes to eliminate the unlimited
guest before he even enters the
door.
During the last three years, after
every big dance, the police have
been notified Of '1osses" of Jewels,
portable silver and even solid silver

anything from diamond sunbursts to
girls hearts! Society matrOns rec

are using unusual methods to prO-
