Vincent Astor's sister, Mrs. Raimund
Won Hoffmanstahl, has never filled
out the neat blue slips which the
Social Register sends out to its
subscribers each autumn. A neice Of
J. p. Morgan refuses to be listed
because the fussy Social Register,
unless she produced a court order,
would not allow her to omit her
husbands first name-a name which
he disliked and never used. In
Boston, where economy is still prac-
ticed, dozens Of people were thrown
out just because they didn't buy
the Social Register for years at
q time.
People with social bees in their
bonnets have offered thousands of
dollars to any one who could shoe
horn them into the Social Register.
For the most part, these brides
have been unsuccessful, but a
number of automobile, asbestos and
other financial tycoons have worked
their way in by exerting terrific
financial pull. Yet there is nothing
especially exclusive about the Social
Register, for the New York volume
alone lists over 10000 names. It's
the mystery surrounding the Social
Register that makes people itch to
be in it.
Those who entertain or are enter
tanned a great deal do find it an
advantage to have their names in
the compact little orange and black
volume instead of in the bulky, i'm

venient for young girls and boys

little band.
parties. Club memberships and an
cestral society memberships are
duly recorded beside each name, and
many a middle-aged person joins
half a dozen useless social organiza-
lions just for the kick of seeing them
trailing beside his entry in the
register.
Fair Prey to Statesmen.
Partly counterbalancing these
somewhat nebulous advantages Is
the fact that Social Registerites are
fair prey to all types of high
pressure craftsmanship just because
they are supposed to be rich. There's

motorists to use judgment in getting

Pointing out that the facilities

that the anti-freeze in cars be
checked and that skid chains be
kept in use, and suggested that
isolated roads and hilly country
be shunted in travelling.
A bag of sand in the car may
come in handy to stop skidding

the danger of forest fires.
Much of the Northern part of the
Nation lay today under a thick COW

Social registerites seldom go to
jail, and the autocrats of the reg

in an unusual, yet tactful, way. In

Mrs. Terhune, they merely ignored
the existence of Whitney and Ter
hume, listing their wives solo fashion,
as if they were widows.
What will happen when their
prison sentences are over is another
question. Will the social register
bring them back to life-or will it
continue to consign them to social
limbo? Whitney is eligible for parole
