CREAM OF GOTHAM, SOCIETY
knlckerbocker Group the Most De.
sired and Sought After of Any
Coterie In America.

To the true old New York Knicker-
booker all the modern world is sham
and a froth For them there is no
United States west Of Buffalo; no one
of any respectability lives above Four
teenth street; and to have been born
poor and dishonest enough to have
made fortune Is much less reprehen-
sible than paying money for marrying
a title With them the chief virtue in
life is to have been born rich and hoE-
est; T. e., in the "set."
These form the most exclusive cir
Gle in social New York. They see no
one but each other. They have no
country relatives, because the family
has never been permitted to marry
outside the little group. They refuse
to recognize the pervenus who nave
come in and are making things hum.
In their eyes all American authors are
dead and all living authors Europe
ans; hence they permit themselves no
Intellectual diversion. Their mental
life is one of dead memories and llv-
ing reproaches. Their social life is
one of mediocrity and echoes.
Yet this group is the most desired
and most sought after Of any In Amer
lea. Many new millionairess woult
write substantial check with alac-
rity to bo invited to one OF these
shabby old downtown homes. Such
invitations are sought for, priced and
commented on more than any other.
1t is comparatively easier to be pre-
sented at almost any European court
except the Russian and the Turkish
than to be properly presented to an
old Knickerbocker family.
