Gave Big Parties

As social entrepreneur
James Hazen Hyde, during his
New York regime. was a Harry
Symes Lehr and an Elsa Max
well all rolled into one.
He provided New York's fash
ionable world with a series of
brilliant entertainments that will
never be equaled in magnifi-
cence. He was the acme of sar-
torial perfection and showed the
young blades of the late '90s
what real extravaganza can be
INDUCED in. if one is heir to
fortune of $20,0o0,OOO.
A son of astute Henry Bald
win Hyde, who founded the
Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety, James Hazen Hyde was
the foremost dandy" of the
years just following the Spanish
American War.

Far-Reechinq Effects

No dandy of his day spent
more money on his clothes than
James Hazen Hyde and the Bit
ter pen-and-ink caricature of
him done by Mrs. Henry Clews
Jr.. then Mrs. Robert Goelet,
almost precipitated a social war
in New York and Newport.
Little did society dream all
this splendor, this show and this
magnificenee would have far
reaching effects and result in
many reforms in the insurance
law of New York state!
Down at Equitable, where
James Hazen Hyde. then in his
20's, had made himself first vice
president, the conservative James
w. Alexander looked with APP
prehension on the social
"Splurge" of the son of the
founder of Equitable.
Mr.. Alexander felt - and
rightly-that the lurid publicity
given MI. Hyde's social exploits
-hOlll-dLL-d
against the life insurance COM
pany. But Mr.. Hyde and his
widowed doting mother held the
controlling stock. So there was
little Mr.. Alexander could do
but worry.
Meanwhile the Hyde extrava-
gances mounted.
And the straw that broke
the camers back" was the
mammoth costume fete James
Hazen Hyde gave at Sherry's,
then located on the southwest
corner of Fifth avenue and One
hundred Forty-fourth street, for
the leaders Of New York-New-
port society.
That party was reproduction
OF old French court life. with all
the guests in splendiferous Co.'S
tunes of the period.
When the bill for the party
was presented to Wonderful
Jimmy" gossips had the grand
total reading: 100000.
Newspapers were quick TO give
news of the fantastic party to
their readers - and old Mr..
Alexander fearing the effect on
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-03-02

Equitable's business, fumed and
fretted.
After an unpleasant scene
with Mr.. Alexander. young Mr..
Hyde began plotting to sell out
his controlling interest in Equit-
able to a syndicate headed by
the late E. II. Hartman and
the late Thomas Fortune Ryan.
When Equitable's dire ctors
learned of Mr.. Hyde's scheme it
was suggested - and none too
politely-that he resign.
Infatuated, the young multi
millionaire decided to fight it
out with Mr.. Alexander, who had
been his fathers Man Friday"
1t was then Mr.. Alexander
demanded an investigation into
the affairs of the Equitable Life
Assurance Society-an investi-
cation conducted by Charles
Evans Hughes, now the chief
justice of the United States
Supreme Court.
The entire country-from the
Atlantic to the Pacific and from
the Great Lakes to the Gulf of
MeXico-rocked with indigna-
ton when the inner workings
of Equitable. under James Ha-
zen Hyde were exposed.
Both Mr.. Hyde and Mr.. Alex
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-03-02

ander had been drawing down
annual salaries of 100000. Mr..
Hyde's personal entertainments
were charged against the COM
pany as "expenses'-and the
whole affair was what Union
Clubites of that day termed a
nasty mess"
There were various unpleasant
sessions before Mr.. Hughes.
Mr.. Hyde was asked embarrass-
ing questions about his finances.
The whole thing ended with
Mr.. Hyde's reputation having
decided blot cast over it-and
the insurance laws of New York
State were rewritten and the
public faith in Equitable was
restored.
Both Mr.. Hyde and Mr. Alex
ander were forced out of Equita-
BILE.
Enraged by what he consid-
cred political prying into his
personal affairs, James Hazen
Hyde. after the famous court
battles, announced his intention
of leaving the United States
forever.
He journeyed to Paris, where
he has lived ever since.

100 Suits at Harvard

He amazed his fellow students
at Harvard by having 100 suits
of clothes and IS pairs of shoes
In his college quarters. He gave
dinners for undergraduates and
Boston debutantes at which
champagne flowed like a Nj
agara, and gossip placed his

ward in excess of SOS, 900 per
year.
There can be no question but
what this son of the socially
consequential Mr.. and Mrs.
Hyde was a very spoiled young
man at the time of his grad
uation from Harvard, back in
1898.
Just as there can be no uues-
ton of his decided fair for
society.
Tall slender, goo blocking
and the pride of his opulent
parents young Mr.. Hyde soon
made his presence felt in New
York's fashionable world.
Tales of his sumptuous enter
tainments intrigued even those
stuffed shirts prone to look upon.
him as young man with rather
exaggerated ideas of his own
Importance and they soon
were angling for bids" to his
parties.

Changes His Mind

However, after months of liv-
ing under Germanic rule, the
autocratic, dictatorial Mr.. Hyde
decided he preferred the land of
his birth. So he marched up to
the United States embassy.
where he has been a total
stranger for years, pocketed his
pride 1. and asked for the
necessary credentials to admit
him into the land he forsook IS
years ago.
What a bitter pill that must
have been for naughty Mr.. Hyde.
But provides proof of how un-
pleasant life in Paris must be
today.
During all the years he lived
abroad. in self-imposed exile and
nursing a grievance against his
native land. James Hazen Hyde
never relinquished his United
States of America citizenship.
He now finds that citizenship an
'ace in the hole"
There can be no question but
what pulling up stakes" in Paris
will mean revolutionary changes
in the life of Mr.. HYDE. who no
longer is young man-and who
has become more French than
the French.

Hosfesses Yield

Hostesses - why, Allah only
knows - actually put up with
this nonsense on Mr.. Hyde s
part. Even the stormy and
caustic Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish
accepted il without a murmur.
No man ever puzzled New
York society as did James
Hazen Hyde. He apparently had
two temperaments. He could be
the scholar and patron Of the
arts one moment and the next
the most exquisite of Beau
Brumnells.
In the olden days he paid his
barber $40 per day just to keep
his Van Dyke beard in a state OF
tonsorial perfection. That Van
Dyke beard is no more and his
hair. today. is snow-whlte.
AS time wore on the Hyde
entertainments in New York be-
came more and more breath
taking. Dinners with costly gold
favors for the feminine guests
were almost nightly events.
Dances at which rare orchids
formed the horticultural back
ground were paled into insignifi-
canoe by his $4,000 supper
party given in honor of the ia
nous French actress. Sarah
Bernhardt.

But this golden bachelor"

the greatest dandy of his time.
When old Henry Baldwin

He's coming "home'-after all
these years.
1t took the Germans-whom
he loathes-to Gust him from his
stronghold in the Rue de Ter
mitage, at Versailles.
When Hitler's 'Hords of Hor-
ror" marched triumphantly into
Paris, Mr.. Hyde let it be known
that, Germans or no Germans,
he'd remain. He had lived the
greater part of his life in Paris,
planned to die there and wasn't
inclined to let any one-not even
Hitler-upset his plans.

Eccentric Habits ~

Eccentric Habits ~
With millions at his command
young Mr.. Hyde's idosyncrasies
became very marked. But he
was rich and attractive, society
smiled indulgently.
For example, when invited to
spend the weekend in a country
home of a friend one of Mr..
Hyde's three Wallets went ahead
and made over the room as
signed to Mr.. Hyde as sleeping
quarters to suit his masters
whims.
Mr.. Hyde's bed must be made
up with black silk sheets and
pillow slips; his blankets and
spread must be of royal purple:
black hangings must be put over
all the windows and. if possible.
black rugs had to be substituted
for those of vivid colorlng.
In addition. Mr.. Hyde's break
fast could be served only on
black glazed china, which the
Wallets carried with them to any
weekend party honored by the
masters presence.

Most of the wounded men lay in

Nurses wearing thin gloves and thin
coats ever their white uniforms moved
o and fro in the cars to keep from

they crowded into the steam-heated
ar for a moment of warmth When
the whistle was heard they hustled

They were women of all ages, bright
