DIR. GRANTS VESTRY
WILL ACT ON FORUM
Meeting Called for Next Thursday,
When the Whole Question VIII
Be Thoroughly Discussed.

George Gordon Battle, senior warden cf
the Episcopal Church of the Ascension.
Fifth avenue and Tenth street, wrote
letter yesterday 70 Bishop Charles q.
Burch informing him that a special meet
ing OF the vestry would be held Thursday
afternoon, at half-past four o'clock In the
parish house OF the church to discuss the
whole question OF the forum which Is held
each Sunday evening in the church.
Bishop Burch positively refused yester-
day to comment in any way on the meetin~
of the forum last Sunday. which was held
despite his solemn protest against the use
of consecrated building for such purpose
Even when it was called to the attention
OF Bishop Burch that one man had used
profanity in the church Sunday, he said he
must keep to his resolution to make no
comment for the present.
Mr.. Battle stated last evening that the
vestry had no jurisdiction over Sunday
evenings meeting OF the forum because
under the rules it requires 90 least three
days notice before meeting of the vestry
can be held. AS the letter of Bishop Burch
to the Rev. DR.. Stickney Grant, the rector
was not received until last Friday night
there was no opportunity for the vestry to
interfere with the forum of last Sunday
evening.
1t was stated at the home of DR.. Grant.

the rector was in poorer health than on
Sunday. He is suffering from an abscess

circumstances could he talk to a reporter,

SOCIETY STOPS
UPTOWN MARCH
New Social Register Now Lo-
Gates Fashionable Centre in
East Sixty-SiXth Street.
MOVES ONE BLOCK SOUTH
Stars Numbering 1857 in New Issue
Indicate Men Honorably Dis
charged from Service.

That the fashionable centre Of New
York has stopped it's march uptown is one
of numerous interesting facts to be gath
cred from the Social Register for 1920
which has just come from the press after
a delay of several weeks caused by the
printers strike. Because Of the delay in
issuing the mid-winter number OF this
useful book Of reference, the customary
addenda of February Dilatory Domiciles
has been incorporated with the mid
winter number.
For fifty years the fashionable centre OF
New York moved uptown each year from
the neighborhood Of Fifth avenue and
Sixty-sixth street. During the last two
years the centre of residence of the promi.
nent families has gone backward a little
until that point now is in Sixty-sixtl
street, between Fifth and Madison ave-
lnues.
For thirty years the publishers OF the
Social Register have made biennial tests
Ito locate New York's fashionable hub. The
movement in that time has averaged one
block per year until two years ago, when
lii stopped at SiXty-seventh street. Now
for the first time it has receded one BLOCK
This is attributed to the concentration o.
families in tho hotels and apartment
houses in the territory between Murray
and Lenox Hills. Many young couples are
drifting eastward as far as Second avenue
| in the Sixties and Seventies rather than e
above Eightieth street.
| The most favored street seems to be Eas
lSixty-second street. with 2i5 families. Eas
SiXtieth street comes next, with 1s9 fami
lies. There are twice as many familie!
between Fifth and Lexington avenues from
Thirty fourth street to Ninety-sixth stree
as there are in all the rest Of the city pu
together.
This year a star is affixed to the names
of all persons who have been honorabl!
discharged from service in the. defence o
their country in the late war. To be ex
act, 1857 stars appear in the New Yori
Social Register. which would seem to in
dicate that New York families contrib
1 uted their quota to the defence OF theil
country.

1t did not remain for Miss Beatrice
Byrne. debutante daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. James Byrne, TO turn a swift and
graceful cartwheel across the stage of the
Princess Theatre last night to prove in
the first act Of What Nextr that that
new musical comedy was going to be fully
entitled to its exclamation points. The
had received musical evidence that the
newest offering to Broadway's theatrical
attractions was one Of the snappiest and
most unusual diversions in the record of
new musical comedy.
Every actor and actress is an amateur,
and most of them are young women of
New York society but what they did was
of professional calibre. The play with
music is the result of collaboration be-
tween Deems Taylor, who wrote the
music, and Miss Mercedes de Acosta, Mrs.
Antoinette Frueauff and Messrs. Charles
G. Shaw and T. GailIard Thomas, Cd,
who contributed the lyrics and book. The
amateurs had been rehearsed by Miss
Bessie Mccoy Davis and Frank Smith
son, who also is the stage manager of
this daring venture of Fifth avenue into
the theatrical district for run of two
weeks at least.
Called "MusicnI Indiscretion."
The subtitle of the piece - Musical
Indiscretion in Three Unwarranted Acts"
prepared the first night audience for
something unusual. and the most un-
usual thing was the surprise that the

weeks of the winter season had given
