PAL MFR DYNASTY
 BACK IN POWER
Woman May Rule Western SO-
 Ciety Again Soon

Chicago, Oct. IS lP}-The dynasty established in the 1AN6.s by Mrs. Potter Palmer, whose edicts were law for nearly four decades, may be ruling midwest society again before many years
 The new social ear, if such she should prove. would be q grand daughter of the now almost fabulous social leader. She IS Miss Bertha Palmer. a debutante of last season.
 Until 1918, when the elder Mrs Palmer died the bvtoWcrcd brown stone mansion which dominated Lake Shore Drive was the citadel of prairie society and an invitation there was the goal of every social climber.
 Just to be seen at one of Mrs. Palmcr's affairs established social position and once all except two members Of q smart club deserted their own tea when she issued cards on the same day.
 Her daughtar-in-law the present Mrs. Potter Palmer, declined the social sceptcr anl the throne was established in another castle a few blocks down the drive. Since her return from Switzerland several years ago Mrs. Edith Rockefeller Mccormick has been the recognized leader, although reported not to be fond of the post.
 When Bertha Palmer made her debut, the last in the old mansion, her patriCian air and striking like ness to her grandmother were noted. | Then, too, she has been tutored by 8 goyerness who, while modern enough, has the older generation s point of view concerning social lead ership.
 Her grandmother was a belle in Louisville, Ky, in the heyday of bluegrass society before she married | Potter Palmer, a Yankee who ac- | cumulated many millions in Chicago real estate, rising from a clcrkship
 Society is a bit more casual now ! than in the days when Mrs Palm 1 CTS house servants dressed in purple l broadcloth and letters were report. ed to pass through 27 hands before ] they reached her.
 The chances arc that social life would see little change in manner should her granddaughter rise tc power, for her manner is simple and unaffected But tomorroW's debs buzzing over teacups, may be par doned if they are thrilled by their conjecturiDg which is all they car do until something more definite happens.
 The Palmers. incidentally, sold th' family home for $3,O00,000 last year and before many months will move into an apartment nearby.
