NEW YORK SOCIETY
MOVING TO COUNTRY
Twenty-Five Per Cent. Of New
Social Register Live Out
side the City.

Folk prominent socially in this city
are seeking homes In the country in
greater numbers than they ever did be-
fore. according to figures complied from
the new issue Of the Social Register. Of
New York, which was out yesterday
Twenty per cent. Of the families
listed in the new book reside in the
country, and in 1901 the proportion was
only Is per cent.
Still New York remains far behind
Qther cities In the percentage OF her citi-
lens who take homes outside the city
limits. Philadelphia continues to lead
More than so per cent of the families In
Philadelphia's new social register live
In the rural districts and the percent
age in 1901 was a. Boston stands Sec
ond with 20 per cent. living outside, an
compared with SO per cent. fifteen years
ago.
The gaps in New York society caused
by this increasing desire for country
homes are being filled rapidly each year
by the marked increase in the number Of
socially prominent families Of other
cities who have moved to New York.
Social registers Of other cities indicate
$50 families with New York city ad.
dresses. and this number may be aug
mented by adding the many families
fom other cities who have made them
selves 70 much at home in New York
that their names no longer appear In the
registers Of the cities of their birth.
The new Social Register of New York
contains 12,s00 families or individuals
residing singiy. OF this number 3.l6i
reside In the country. III are living
abroad. s5 are residing on the Pacific
coast and 260 are living i'm other cities
covered by the Social Register The reg
lister shows that l2+ New York families
have gone abroad since July I. II also
shows that l.1l6 Of the socially promi-
nent families reside in apartments, more
than one-half Of these apartments being
in the district bounded by Fiftieth
street. Fifth avenue and Lexington ave-
nue., and IT'S OF them having Park ave-
nue. numbers.
Marriages. OF 7is persons are noted
In the new register. Last years fig
ures were 706. The mortality table
shows that 240 women and 2si men for
merly in the list died during the year as
