Charity Events Feature Season.
Two charity events which rank

both affairs were members OF the

NEW YORK, December 90
Again society is confronted with
'he -crasher in" the young people
who are pot invited to dances, but
are brought on from similar affairs
10 which they may have been asked,
or just smuggled In without an invi-
alton to any party of the evening.
The custom of going on from party
TO party long has been a necessary
evil and cannot be avoided. for the
Young women accept as many as
three invitations for a dance on the
same evening, but the plan has be-
come so general that it is physically
impossible to take care of all the un-
invited guests. At one dance given
within the last fortnight at one of
the smart restaurants In town 500
guests were expected and provision
for that number made for supper. but
to the amusement and CONSERVATION
Of the hostess and the proprietor of
the restaurant 700 guests turned up
during the course OF the evening. 1t
was impossible to accommodate them
all for supper, but heroic measures
were adopted, and the evening. or
carly morning, was concluded in a
diplomatic fashion. That experience
has taught later hostesses lesson,
and at large dance given a week
ago at the same restaurant the father
Of the debutante had his list sent
down to the manager, and no one was
allowed to enter the establishment
whose name was not mentioned.
A situation of this kind seems to
outsiders hard to understand. but
when il is recalled that there are few
houses in New York large enough to
accommodate from 400 to 500 guests,
for dancing and supper, and the fact
that society is deserting houses for
apartments, hotels and apartment ho-
tells it Is not surprising. 1t leaves no
recourse but the hotels, restaurants
and clubs for formal affairs. The
colony and club cannot accommodate
all, and as result parties have to be
given at public places. Here 1t is
comparatively easy for unlimited
guests TO edge their way in to the
entertainments.
Much interest has been aroused In
