being all in"
There was a time, several weeks
ago, when even a father thought II
was jolly thing to look in at an en-
tertainment. Dehutante parties had
almost the advantages of circus
which gives the mature the OppOrtu-
nifty to ChaperOne. The father OF the
debutante would be obliged to 60 to
the big ball OF the evening in order
to escort his daughter home 1t was
noted that he sometimes came a little
early and remained little late. His
contemporaries were there on the
same mission, and all Of the younger
people were awfully nice to him. Now
he is inquiring if it isn't all right for
Laurette, the maid, to escort the
young girl home. He cannot keen up
the pace much longer. and neither
can mother, or daughter herself.
People are Hooking to the south to
get away from prolonged season.
and the South, not realizing what was
about to happen to it, is not prepared.
There are not enough hotel rooms UP
and down the coast OF Florida to
accommodate the New Workers who
are refugees of the social season.
Those who have never before in their
lives been subjected to anything less
expensive than $40 a day for a bed
room are now quite glad to crawl into
a cheaper room in a cheaper and
hitherto undistinguished hotel.
Seven private cars arrived in one
day at Palm Beach from New Nork
and Tuxedo. Recently 10 tracks were
filled with private cars in the grounds
of the Royal Poinciana. Mr.. and Mrs
Harry Payne Whitney arrived with a
party occupying three cars. Their
houseboat, the Captiva, was waiting
for them In Lake Worth, and they
went Immediately on board. A clever

quarters with you. | was telling you
two or three weeks ago of the sad
plight of Otto Kahn, who telegraphed
for 90 rooms in the most expensive
hotel, and could re. erVe only four.
Something Doing Every Minute.
1t cannot be urged, however, that
the 400 in fleeing New York is having
much luck in getting away from social
activity. There is something going
on every minute in these southern
capitals of fashion, and by way of
providing a rarity, the elements them
selves took a hand and sent little

guests came with fur wraps on. They
called the function the polar bear
party.
Everything that takes place is re-
corded in the films You will prob
ably have an opportunity at the NOV
ing picture theater round the corner
to see for the price of 10 cents every
thing that the rich and great are now
working at TO keen themselves anus
ed during this arduous March. The
most expensive moving picture ever
made for one performance only has
Just been completed at Palm Beach.
Needless to say, men and women of
fashion are hack Of it, and-what is
more of a noVelty--are in it, too. Ten
thousand feet Of film have been taken,
half of which doubtless will be de;
