knew also that the New York viewpoint was
changing. Climbers and others, to be frank,
did not need the aid of these ancestral BIOS
SONS, unless there were other attractions.
\ charming and beautiful woman will al
ways draw. Otherwise we want people who
have something more to offer than the
traditions of other days.
We were wise enough not to plunge in the
wrong direction. We did not give any great
spectacular entertainments; but we kept
everybody guessing. In the meantime it
was open house. Mrs. Blinn and Mariana
took from the very beginning. They were
SO simple, SO wholesome, SO democratic.
Perhaps they may have eliminated them
selves just jot too much and Newport had
given me too much credit. But | was their
prophet.
We managed always to have plenty of
men at all of our small affairs, and we had
numerous Jolly dances after Our, little din
ners. These were faultless, and Mrs. Blinn
could talk food and servants if she wanted,
and she was just natural herself, and with
out being middle class was just the person
for these intimate condolences. We talked
of hardly anything else except personalities.
| know | myself discussed at the tennis
matches for one hour the absorbing topics
of houscmaids and footmen groceries and
chiropodists, with lady who had "arrived"
about ten years previously, and was getting
to be a somebody.
Now and then would take trap and
have the steward 60 with me, and scour
through Thames-st., that narrow, noisy
alley of markets and cheap shops, bargain
ing here and there bit, just to keep up the
interest. For there in the earlier hours of
the Newport morning one would meet many
of the great ladies in their pony carriages
on similar economic missions. Then would
go on mysterious jaunts away out into the
country among the farmers, and return with
a carriage laden with all sorts of Rhode
Island dclicacies.
We gave some large affairs in those pre-
ludc days. There was garden party, when
the New York Yacht clubmen We're in town
on their annual cruise; and odd to say it
was the only big affair of the week. We had
beautiful grounds, and our hydrangeas were
famous. | sent out invitations broadcast,
beat up, without going into the highways
and byways, a crowd, i wanted that, and
| had no trouble in getting them together
OF course it was mixed. There was mill
tary band, vaudeville show, minstrel sing
ers, and other light summer diversions not
too exacting for the Newport brain. And

orally. 1t is the only thing they
know of that they can do to get
rid of their own WEAKNESS.
"They know there is another
week of labor in front of them
just like the one that is over, and
they are too tired to go and en-
joy themselves sanely.
$50 they drink whisky, which
they know will at least make
them FEEL as1if they were not
tired, and they drink it until they
get drunk.
"And when a woman is over
worked and underpaid and half
starved and half-clad- the
temptation to what fools call the
easy way is great 1t must be
great; it must be greater than
many a man could stand.
"The women cannot go out as
the men do, and forget their
WEAKNESS and their. hunger in
whisky.
For one thing, most women
are too decent to do that; they are
not such moral towards as the
men are in that way.
"It is moderately easy for the
men to forget; but it is different
Tor the women. They must face
their situation, and keep on re-
mernbering i and being miser-
able.
"And the other thing always is
staring them in the face. Il
IF the woman is old enough to
know what it means, and to know
what the end of that life is, there

put up to a girl, a young girl who
doesn't know and cannot realize?
"You take a young girl, just

ing girls of Chicago who are
alone in the world, are, and I tell
you it must be pretty tough.
"She's hungry, hungry not only
for the fancy things that every
human being does get hungry for
once in a while, but hungry for )
plain, decent food. She's prob
ably paid about ten cents for her
breakfast, and the same for her
lunch, and maybe all of 20 cents
for her dinner. And she's hun

week.
"And she's only half clothed.
And she hasn't got any of the
pretty things that some of the
other girls. she knows have, and
she knows she doesn't have any
chance of getting them.
"And perhaps there's some girl
in the place where she works who
has fine clothes and always has a
full stomach, and she hears whis-
pers about how that come about.
"And she gets sick and tired
and weary of it~all, and wonders
what's the use, and what good her
