Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish.

New York.-No more late hours for
debutantes and young men. No more
wild dissipation. No more dancing OF
the turkey trot.' The tide has turned
in New York society, and a feeling Of
shame has arisen in the breasts OF
those who can say what's what. From
now on social functions in high So
ciety or a large part Of it, must come
to an end at II o'clock midnight, and
the young folks must be mice"
Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish, social leader,
is one of the big figures in the present
reform movement The frivolty,"
says Mrs. Fish, the utter lack of re-
ligious feeling, the wildness of some
of our fashionable leaders is certainly
leading toward a social revolution. II
something is not done soon l don't
know where we will be. And in par
ticular our country society is becom-
ing materialistic and vulgarized"
Mrs. Fish does not like the new
dances. These wretched, vulgar
dances" she snys, this turkey trot
business, which have seen asst win
ter and summer, are all too disgust
ing for words. 1t only shows that our
whole country-our fine United States
is declining in tone. In plain Eng
lish. that's what's the matter with
socies.l"

A capacity gate of $37, 900 is ex-

liable to decide the title. Both
are heavy, and pack a killing
punch that destroys, when it
lands. Palzer's reach Of FIVE and
a half inches over McCarty
should overcome the latter's SUI
periority in footwork.
Palzer looks like the best bet.
Los Angeles money and opinion
is behind McCarty because of his
fight with Flynn. But the Cali

HARRISON MAN VICTIM
OF OLD ENVELOPE GAME

Michael Angelo Caporal, of 302
North Third street Harrison, would
refuse to give $3.50 for $40.
That's the reason why he is mourn
ing today. The Anticipated envelope
game was resurrected Saturday and
Mike fell an easy victim.
Approached in Bridge street, this
city. by two well-dressed strangers,
Caporal was asked If he wished to
get a good paying proposition. He
did. After agreeing to take the new
position he was asked If he had any
money. Michael remembered he had
a weeks pay forthcoming at a Har-
rison factory. The three went to the
factory and he drew his pay which
amounted to $3.50.
One of the pair produced a crisp
$40 note and put it in an envelope.
AT least Michael thought so. "We'll
give you this $40 as a guarantee that
We are in earnest about the job"
said n of the strangers. Would
Mike trust them? Sure, he would.
Didn't he see the $40 go in the en-
velope? Over went the weeks pay.
Mike opened the letter later. A piece
of yellow paper greeted his eyes.
