In New York
By GEORGE ROSS

New York, Nov. 15-C Cafe society," that vaguely defined inner circle Of rich people who patfeAiSe smart restaurants-has learned to suuh the outsider who seeks to crash It's gates.
 To be an outcast from this lit- tie world means that the head waiter doesn't lawn oyer him and her and the house photographer doesn't flash a bulb by way of well come and the people at the adjoin. ing tables don't rush over to gush. "But, darling, you look too-too something or otherl"
 To several charming but inape- cunious Park avenue belles the plight of these poor folk has been doleful. Why not help them up the ladder of social climbing and thus console them. At moderate prices, of course. Why not found an exclusive branch of cafe society, to take care of the boys and girls who don't click with the men and maids of the 6toek and Fl Morocco2 With the sincere purpose, naturally, that such a scheme would be both altruistic- and profitable.
 
 'Tnvitations"- per So a group of bush league Elsa Maxwells has set out to amelicrate the suffering of the socially snubbed. And here's how it's done:
 One fine morning in the mail, Mir. and Mrs. Octavi,,s x. Quack- enbush, who are not any too well regarded by cafe society, receive an engraved invitation in the mail. It says that Bettina Blueblood, chairman of the Playfair Dinner Dance club, requests the pleasure of their company at Q dinner dance to be held in e midtown night club of niddling prestige. There is & small matter of Q live dollars fee per person, but that's to cover post age and incidentals, for this is Bet- tina's party and she wants 1t to be in the spirit of cameraderie. Oh, yes, it's strictly formal, naturally.
 So. Mir. and Mrs. Quackenhush who weren't doing anything that night, anyway, accept the invite (''Bettina Is Q dear, isn't she?") and join . throng of other socially thwarted couples, at five dollars per head, in an oasis that wouldn't have been doing any business at ail that night, if Miss Bluebiood hadn't made deal. And the deal is profit- able to the entrepreneuse and pro- prietor, usually . 60-b0 split. Os- tensibly, of course, such snappy functions enrich the coffers of the Playfair Dinner and Dance club of which, we suspect, Bettina not only is chairman, but secretary, treasur- CT, sergeant-at-arms, and the en- tire membership.

A GOVERNOR SINCERE.
(Rocky Mount telegram

In the heat of the recent campaign
for the governorship of Connecticut,
friends of Governor Wilbur L. Cross.
who was a candidate for reelection,
urged him to play what many con-
sidered his ace-enough to win the
election in what promised to be a
close contest. That was in the form
of Governor Cross annual Thanks
giving proclamation. Written in such
beautiful language that friends and
foes alike could not help but admire
the man more every time they read
it lit was different to be sure each
year, friends of the Governor want
ed that proclamation to come out on
the eve of election day.
But Governor Cross refused, refused
on the very good ground that it was
not time for him to deliver his an
nual proclamation. So impressed with,
the move was Boston's Christian
Science Monitor that an editorial
written Immediately after election
praised the Connecticut executive
highly for his action. The Monitor
went even further than that. When
the Governor did issue his proclama-
ton on Saturday, his picture along
with a copy of the document set iii
a natural background ran on the
newspapers front page.
Since so much interest has been
created in connection with the pro-
clamation, it seems fitting to repro
duce below the document for which
a man risked his public office:
