Admission to Society in New York
Declared to Be Easier Now.
Woman With Social Aspirations May
obtain Entree by Possessing Dog
Routes Are Open to
the Climbers.

New York.-Time was when break
ing into New York society was sim
pie matter. You merely waited. Event
ually, in the course of several genera
lions, you stood a chance of being
invited to the very best houses.
1t was three generations before the
Astors amounted to anything as So
cial beings in this community. writes
a New York correspondent The Van
derbilts made the extraordinary leap
in better time--in two generations
thanks to the mental resources and
determination of doughty social war
rior whom the family acquired by mar
riage, and later lost by divorce.
People get in" New York society
now in few years; sometimes in a
single season.
Now multiplicity of avenues of ap-
proach have been discovered. Here
are ten: Dogs. women's clubs, pub
licity, charity, summer resorts. graft
the opera, first nights. travel (for-
eign), woman suffrage.
The avenue of dogs alone indicates
the ADVANCE we have made. Some Gym
les may call it retrogression. How
cruel when one can thus lessen the
years necessary for social entree!
Children used to be the avenue Of
approach, which has been usurped by
the later pets.
One of the first moves of the So
cially ambitious woman in New York
these days is the requirement of dog
If the proper beginning is made, if
the right sort of dog is secured, the
next step is to enter him at the first
exclusive dog show. This may be
done the very first year. And there
the woman has her first social oppor-
tunity.
There are dog lunchecns. dog din
ners, dog receptions to which her
canine will be invited. and no canine
can go alone. The mistress must be
included. Some day she may event
ually be invited on her own account
Another avenue for the social climb
er is the summer resort and foreign
travel. In itself New York Is a
glacial city, socially. Its surfaces are
SO rounded that it must be hardy
climber who can secure hold Thus
many have resolved to bring into the
strategy of their campaign q flank as
sauIt on the citadel of caste.
They remove their artillery to a
distance They pay outrageous prices
to the hotels in the fashionable re-
sorts IN summer and to the stopping
places on the grand tour to Europe in
the hope of thus scraping valuable
acquaintance.
Most Of them fail The average ten
ure of residence in New York of
the wealthy women who come from
elsewhere is seven years-the life of
the chorus girl. of the yellow re-
porter and of the bounder tenant
at Newport.
First they wear out the novelty of
the theaters and the opera. Then,
having been ignored. or. If too per-
sistent, snubbed repeatedly, they move

Some one may have pink cotton
or linen dress in good condition, but
badly faded. If SO, put piece Of Tur-
key red cheesecloth in water and boil
until the color is the desired one. The
dress will dry bit lighter than when
wet and will leave an even color all
over, says the Modern Priscilla One

more than enough for a dress. Navy

PREPARATION FOR RAINY DAY
Supply OF Clean, Dry Sand viii Pro-
vide Amusing Occupation for the
Little Ones.

The outdoor sand pile Is a time
honored institution, but out of doors
offers many other attractions, so we
improved on the idea.
A box was made, about nine inches
high, and in other dimensions just a
little smaller than the nursery bed. 1t
was fitted with casters, lined with a
pale green oilcloth, and a box plait-
ing of green denim was put around the
outside with brass-headed tacks. Next
a barrelfui OF fine white sand was put
in-and the stormy day problem was
solved.
The little maid, less than a year
old, when the box was first introduced,
was perfectly safe, and she never
seemed to tire of it's endless attrac-
lions. Nearly all her toys were kept
there; old playing cards would stand
up in the sand to form houses and
fences: trains of cars had much bust
ness to transact, and many hours
were spent just ladling the sand into a
big, thick bottle with an old tin spoon
and pouring it out again.
The little occupant was taught from
the first that no sand was to go on the
floor, and we never, had the least trou-
BILE even after the little sister came
to share the box a few years later. In
deed. it proved the cheapest, safest
and best device that ever was invent
ed for keeping the little ones happily
entertained.

increase of II per cent in cremations
over previous years.
1t is remarkable that an organiza-
ton, whose soc object is to reform
funeral customs, should have enrolled
over 500 members in single year
and boast of a membership of 3541,
and this in ct. Gall, city of less than

OF the poor are cremated without

the wish of the deceased to have their
remains so disposed of. For minors,
the wishes of parents or guardians are
respected.
