and guarantee success if you win let
me have carte blanche. There must
be no Objectionable dancing and we
must cater to the conservative ele-
ment."
She named the commission at which
she would undertake this work and
told the manager of the hotel to let
her know what he thought of the prop
osition when he thought it over. The
hotel man decided at once, and before
many days had passed one of the ball
rooms on the twenty-fourth floor of
this big hotel had been opened for af-
ternoon dancing. The price of admis-
sion was a dollar and anyone who
wished might attend.
Started Subscription Dances.
Soon other hotel managers, hearing
of Mrs. Hawkesworth's success, came
to her and asked her to do the same
thing for them. There is a great deal TO
do in managing these dances besides
providing music and a suitable floor,
and they knew that it was better to pay
Mrs. Hawkesworth a high commission
than to experiment themselves. But
Mrs. Hawkesworth wisely refused to
duplicate her achievements.
She had another plan. While these
public dances had gone-and are still
going -wonderfully well, there were
still some, society people Of New Yori
who wanted something even more ex
elusive. They would dance In the af
ternoon at a hotel, they told Mrs
Hawkesworth, IL the dances could b.
put on the subscription basis.
Hence Mrs Hawkesworth opened 1
set OF subscription afternoon dances

some of the biggest entertainers in
the world and before nightfall she had
drawn up contracts with Alma Gluck,
Geraldine Farrar and Adeline Genee,
all of whom happened to be in New
York at that time. These contracts
involved $4,000, sum which she could
not possibly have paid il the next step
in her program had not proved sue
cessful. This step was securing pa
irons.
Mrs. Hawkesworth called on a list
of the most prominent society women
of New York and asked them to sub
scribe to the new series of morning
musicales she purposed giving at the
Plaza hotel. They were to be different
from. other musicales, she assured
them, and her assurance was convinc-
ing. The next thing to do was to
make the musicales different. 1t was
not enough to have Geraldine Farrar
sing and Genee dance. That was no
special treat to society folk. Mrs.
Hawkesworth decided on having her
performers dress in costume suited to
the songs they sang For her first
performance she planned costumes
and songs of the natter style and so
with the aid of the best costumers she
could secure. her stars were dressed
in the white curls and bouffant skirts
OF the period of Louis XIV. That sug-
gested the name OF the series OF en-
tertainments. the "Chansons Crino'
lines"--a name which has played nc
little part in the subsequent success OF
these entertainments. Now the name
"Chanson Crinoline" is known to so
ciety and musical folk all over the
country.
