New York, March Except for the
forcible election of the Compile Gull
laume de Classon for forgetting to pay
for bottle of wine with which he had
regaled his friends, the much heralded
Farson Carnival, to which Mrs. jack
son Gourard (nee Annie Crocker). Ed
mund Russell and other notabies OF
the eSoteric sect In Gotham lent their
genius, was what the crictics would
describe as "a bewfldering success"
Confldsntially those who had a peep
I at the merry makers at the Cafe
boulevard vow it was the most bizarre
event Of its kind held In town since
they put the purple shades on the red
lamppoSts along the Gay White Way"
I During the heighth of the merriment,
! the compte, who was dressed as Ma
pcieon. got dizzy and invited former
Judge Edward Rosenheim to have
bottle of wine with him. When the
Wand was disposed of, the nobleman
started away from the bar and vowed
that His Honor should pay for the
good stuff. This so Jared on the

on Mrs Jackson Gourard, 80 she wore

- Is nectar for the gods, single time.
Between eats the guests had the mad
dest time throwing serpentines at each
other until the floor looked like a pork
and beans factory after an explosion.
Z The invitations said that foreign art
lists were going to perform divers and
Iundry dances. but their stunts were
so pokey, everybody said, that ths
care-free visitors offered specimens OF
. their own art, even going so far as to
elicit from Mr.. Russell the encomiur
that the turkey trot as done by Jack
Z Clifford and Miss Irene Weston was
the worst-that is, the best-he ever
9 saw.

person with a fringe of white whiskers

What's New York coming to any

miliman, standing at the doorway OF
the cafe as the guests departed at day
