Arrived at the Astor house. the re.
porter was turned over to Mr.. Nc.

One Of Ward McAllister's chief
assets was the fact that he rarely

his day knew he could be told about
the most confidential matters and
that they would never be repeated;
SO when the reporter quizzed Mr.. Nc
Alister about the names and the
number Of guests expected at Mrs.
Astor's ball. he received for his re.
ply: Really. you know. cannot
give you the names. but there will
not be more than 400 guests, as
