The hurso show lunches, dinners and suppers thrown In would In Itself have left mo dead ln my tmeks the week before, but on top of It all four weddings out of eight I was In vited 10 demanded my presence. Then, too, there was something elso that week. But getting up to dato I did manage to br.icc up for Monday's occasion. I never could if it hadn't been for that Sunday of resL I shan't tell you where I wcnL Saturdays to Mondays have become more of a drag than any other time simply be cause every one flocks lo Long Island or some other 'smart place and Instead of rest an uninterrupted effort Is demanded. So I'm keeping secret my Now Jcrsoy re treat and It Js still a really truly rest. Still every one looked pretty well and moderately wide awake at the opera, al though tho womnn who can't "get away with It" across the Metropolitan horse shoe, and In artificial light, might as well give up. As usual, nearly all tho women woro white. It Is general at tho opera at all times, and almost universal on an occasion like tho opening of the season. Alice Roosevelt Is again tho sensation. She came to town for horse show week and was all over tho place then. She Is still a groat hit and very much mndo over. That Is at llrst people especially men make a lot of her. but sho sheds their lli-ttery so easily that they glvo up almost before thoy start. In the enthusiasm of girlish gaiety she does the maddest things which some people llko to misunderstand. They should know better, -but I suppose strangers can't see why she doesn't put on more iMgnlty. Last summer she used to dash about Newport ln tho sloppiest altire and then oven sail over to Narra gansett pier In her unkempt condition. In a way that didn't matter as much as her vivacities here In, town. I don't need to repeat tho stories of her eccentricity to you. and besides as they are all hearsay to me, I won't. Vhethcr she really docs wind herself about with a trained snake. I haven't the least idea and can't say 1 care Tho other popular one. of her an noyance at a dinner partner taking the form of overturning some particularly sloppy entrco on his head, came to me second hand. But I have seen her arrive at a dinner apparently fagged to death, and at almost tho start drink coffee in stead of dhampagno. It seems to Invigo rate her and she's up In a minute, the Hfo of wit. Certainly she Is lovely to look upon, and tho llrst night of tho opera she wore quite tho smartest gown Imag inable. a Miss Roosevelt was distinctly part of tho "something else " that I mentioned as crowding upon ' fashlonablo attention lin.cn ..1,.., It- tvnu TVMIistl I?nrn.. more's return to the New York stage. No, I won't tell you about the play, not so much as Its name. That's out of my lino not, of course, that I don't enjoy the Hunter, but any critical knowledge of It I mean. But certainly "all society" was In tho audience. If you want to know who wore there Just get a Social Regis ter and crowd nil tho best names you Ilnd Into ono theater That was really about It Alice Roosevelt was ln a box. Sho and Ethel nro, I understand great friends. Anyway 1 see them much to gether. La Barrymoro has been contin ually on view since her return, appearing as charming as ever, and still, obviously, a pet of society. The Drew family at lunch are really worth pausing to consider. Thoy all work hard and together for social position, or rather did until thoy got It. Now they simply hold it. Mr. and Mrs. John Drew, their daughter, Louleo, and Ethel and John Barrymoro L mean especially. Oc ccIonnlly. Lionel Barrymoro and his brido aro along, but ho Is moro like his unfortunate fathor, Maurice, now hopo U'pfIv III, who never bothered lo so much as know society wns. John Drew started carlv, got somo Standard Oil stock, I be lieve, and has been a full-fledged gentle man for vcars. But by a strange ehnnce It was really his nleco Ethel who bound him closest to tho smnrt world That's why he's known as "Undo John." I sup pose. I Imagine It was a disappointment that his only child never cared for the social game and I know It wis agnlnql Ills wishes that sho went on tho stage. Sho Is a Iovelv girl, simple and sincere, with nono of Ethel's affectations or her fnther's snobbishness "Why s'lf Is called "Fco" I don't know unless It Is because she Is Louise B. Drew probably for Bar rymoro Just as her cousins nro Ethol Drew Barrymoro and Georglana Drew Mend urn , , , But I didn't sot out to glvo youinn his torical sketch of a fnmous theatrical fam ily but rather to describe the moro epho meral matter of their little luncheons at Sherrv's. "Undo John" usually arrives first, "faultlessly dressed In a morning suit, in fact a very "morning sulL" No uso talking. "Uncle Tom" Is certainly a grand gentleman. "When Jack Barry more Is near tovn he ruii3 In. The Idea seems to bo to make them family parties -to give the public nn intimate view of family life In high circles and at the same time to impress nn the general mini, that sense of "family" which is tho very foun dation of aristocracy. Incidentally n Bar rvmorc gives a lot of real tone to a Drew gathering. "When Jack and Lionel nro out of town "Uncle Lulu" Is occasionally brought nlong to supply the neecssnry second male; "Undo Lulu" being Mrc. JohnDrew's brother. Lewis Baker. Mrs Drew Is an indefinite lady with well-bred, ubdued manners who doesn't appear to havo a leaning for society, tho stage, art or indeed anything In particular. Whori one has wild Bho was "among those pres ent" the whole matter has been exhaust- C(Mrs. Drew Is not pretty sho has the unfortunntcly largo nose of the Lanes, her grandmother's family but sho has "manner"' and is always an attractive sight She somewhat resembles Alice Roosevelt. "When Ethel Barrymoro is out of view eltlwr of these girls Is good for a sensation. It was said that Miss Drcwr wns engaged to marry "Blllle" Courtcnuy - who hns sinco been reported engaged and unengaged to "Clsslo"1 Loftus. I am assured the rumor is groundless, having arisen from the usual chat that pursues actors. Mr. Courtenay, a duck of a boy whom you have probably seen on the stage has visited tho Drews at their country place on Long Island. That meaningless fact would be ground enough for matlnco girls to start a rumor on. Still, Georglana Drew Mcndum married an actor some name like Parsons. But she nover entered materially Into tho Drcw-Bnrrymoro social scheme. Sho Is a pretty girl and has much of that ele gance of carrlago that runs through the family. I don't think tho girl Lionel mar ried was ever on th stage, but all her peoplo were. Her parents aro Mr and Mrs. McICco Rankin, her sister Gladys Is Mrs. Sydney Drew, wife of "Uncle Johns' half-brother. Tho other. Phvllls Rankin, married Harry Davenport of a theatrical family qulto as famous his trionically, If not socially, as tho Drows. They Hvo happily In tho suburbs, or something like that, I believe. Really I must Interrupt my general chatter to wonder why our smart women dress so horrlbly-why. why, why? It's getting to tho point that tho only "swell dressers" (In puro Bowery) aro girls not in society. The other night a woman I knew 3llghtly but pleasantly telephoned to know If I would be one at a hastily ar ranged after-thc-opera supper. 1 sus pected I had been asked merely to fill In a vacancy but said I'd go, nevertheless. I knew her woll enough to trust who she would ask me to Sherry's with or, rath er, I thought I did until I arrived. When I went In she and her party were waiting for me In tho big entry. At ono look at the back of the other guest mv heart fank; not exactly her back b it the back . i"cr sown. It looked 111c: a black nighty, only wouldn't be practicable for bed her feet would get wound up in tho endless train, and tho spangles might be prickly. It was a close-fitting, clinging, block underdrcss with a train almost llko a brldp; over this and wound round and .round her figure as she stood there, was a loose black not robe. literally covered w.th Jlngly spangles It hung from close up under her arms that altitude all around. Above was divided between tho wearers neck and white laco "fllllng-ln " A. tremendous black feather hat Just fin shed off the suggestion of a star of a burlesque troupe. I might have known who , would he in side of such a r g. but I couldn't gel mv mind on anything but ."Who-oh. who have I been asked to nieft?" Imnglne how foolish I fell when she turned and I be held Mrs. Clarence Mackay. And she nearly, always dieews that way, you know. "To dress like that." whispered my less, "lakes a soubreUo or a four-hun-dredcr." It set mo thinking, and I looked about me The place was crowded; a third of the people I knew renllv, another third I know by sight and a third third wore ob viously observers. AcUally, of the ob served hardly a woman looked more el'iss than a French cocotte. It was principally tho dressing. Many of them had, of course, very hard faces. Tho life wo lend hero ruins tho best ln a woman's face while sho Is yet comparatively young. Most of them seem to Imagine rouge and penciled eyes can bring It back. But after all It Is the gowns that aro most awful. rmaghiQ Mrs. Clarence Mackcv Mrs. Mackey of all women in that veritable robo dc null! Tho other day I was calling on a friend and Just as I was going a strange red gown appeared with a woman ln It. At tho start I may tell you it was Mav Van AInn Sho looked as If she had dressed herself In honor of the visiting firemen. It mny havo been a Horse Show remnant, and certainly it would bo safer to wear It thero than to a bull fight. If sho ever did, alas for May I I Intended to describe It to you, but now that I nm faco to face with tho undertaking, I don't seem to know how to go nt It. All 1 can snv la red, and then remark red. and as a finish gurgle red again. I might vary It with scarlet, mogenta and royal rose, perhaps. Every manner nnd shade of red seemed to bo on It. Really, though, it was a shriek ing red silk, tremendously full of skirt, and spread out almost to a hoop effect When I tell you that tho skirt was so sprcad-caglq .and tho oleeves so puffed thnt May'n ariiple waist seemed small you may get some Idea of the amount of floor space she covered. If she ever carelessly stands over an air shaft In thnt baloon. this daughter of the Astors will have to undress In midair If who hopes to ever drop back to earth again. Apropos of nothing and theroforo In parenthesis someone spoke of May Van Alnn'3 grandmother tho othor dav as Mrs. William Asttir. nnd my' tho look" that Klrl got! So right hero let me warn you. Our Queen of Socloty Is Mrs. Aslor Mrs. As tor, do you understand? Ilor nephew's wlfo is Mrs. John Jacob Astor, or Mrs. "Jack" Astbr, as your Intimacy or vour nerve permits. But thoro Is only ono "Mrs. Astor" and. ns thu advertisements used to say about something or other. "No more, no loss " You might as well speak to an Englishman or a pretentious American, for thnt matter of King Ed ward ac nnythlng but "Tho King." So don't forget that Astor point, my dear. And now let us wriggle out of this paren thesis. Far and away tho most amusing thing at tho opera opening was enacted In one of tho boxes. That's indefinite enough. Isn't It? Because, you sec. as tho girl is merely silly I don't want to tell you who sho Is. It would mako the anecdote hot ter to say sho Is beautiful, but sho iKn't , Still she hits position, heaps of It, nnd lo somo peoplo that la. beautiful to look up on. She has been chasing about wltli a most attractive chap who isn't known here. Doubtless ho has lived In New York all his life, but ho has never oxisted In a 80dal sense. Indeed, we didn't know ho even lived until this girl took him up. She didn't, take him up all tho way, and there by hangs my little tale. Sho never Intro duced him, and when I'vo passed their hansom sho Invariably -Just happened to havo her handkerchief to her face. They frequented ten-rooms In tho most obvious ly conscious way In short, last spring and again this fall they ha-o acted that familiar, absurd farce of being' continu ously together and trying to make tho gossips think thoy were not. Ho merely assisted hor It was her desire. Well, Anally, It seems, he refused to con tinue to know her below stairs, an ono might put It. and said. In effect, "If I'm good enough for you to know I'm good enough for your family and your friends " Everyone says, of course, that he was merely angling for the prostlgo of poclal recognition by so Influential a family as hers, but I'm Inclined to think It was hon est self-respect, In any case, his demand was positive. Sho refused; not point blank, I suppose, but didn't accede. So ho stayed quite away and wroto hor some what In this wise. (Tho story & much over the tea cups and highballs these days, but the girl's family has succeeded In keeping It at least within tho limits of our set.) To get back, the letter was this Idea: "Either you publicly recognize m6 or I play ln my own yard. ' She made no answer A week passed, then ten days. Tho lady held out, but eho didn't look a little bit chcorful. The climax camo last Monday. At a most conspicuous moment In the opera tho conquered Vcro do Vcrc entered with her mother, and between them--tho man! I think I havo never seen so many eyes centered on ono box In my life. Now, of course, we're all on tip-too for tho next move. V Alfred Vandcrbllt In tolling the latest Horso Show mot and It Is making such a hit that no one asks If It Is true. Ho was standing In the promenade talking "up Into" a box to tho lovely Mrs. Nor man WhItchoufle. I think, but that has no bearing on tho story. That tho lady was charmed and nbovo all obviously of tho quality, was what impressed the cu rious multitude of dollar-a-head rubbers who stood gazing at tho box I remember tho sensation she made, not only with that class, but when sho came up from New Orleans, a stranger to us, beforo sho married Whltchouse. But that's going back fivo years or more. According to Vandcrbllt, ho was earnestly chatting to hor over tho rail of tho box and quite un conscious of tho gathering mob of sight seers, when a Xemale hand tapped him on tho shoulder. He turned to see a large, well-meaning soul, who had better have stayed In her happy Harlem home "mind In' tho kids " "Look here." she said, In her capacity of self-chosen spokeswoman of tho crowd of catalogue-holding sightseers, "how do you expect us to know who that Indy l when you keep standln In front of the number on tho box7" Good-byo, Muriel. I'm for another plungo ln the Social Living. When I get to tho surface again I'll write to you about what I saw. IDA INNEPLY. DEEP BREATHING BEAUTIFIES Woman Explains Subj'ect to Audience of Other "Women. NEW YORK, Nov. 27. "Every beauti ful woman Is a deep breather," said Mrs. Amelia L. Caulklns. whllo tho members of tho Political Study club almost stran gled ln their efforts to tnko long breaths during her talk on "Tho Ethical Valuo of Things Commonplace," yesterday after noon. "All our beautiful actresses know tho valuo of exercise, sunshine, water and fresh air. And you scarcely ever moot a beautiful woman who wears any vicious dovlco in private life." Mrs. Caulkln's lecture' was becoming al most too personal for somo of tho wo men, and one of them, who Is a firm believer in the "vicious device," arose, and said: "Ladles, I havo worn them over since I was eight years old. I'm not set up. I'm not young now, but I think my flguro is not eo bad " The announcement was greeted with sympathetic applause. "Tho mother rules tho world," resumed the speaker, tj-ylng to regain the sym pathy of her audience. "To preach the gospel of health Is not only a philanthro pic duty, but a religious duty. And. la dles, do you know that less than one-half of the children born reach maturity? You and I aro responsible for this condition." During her talk every window In the room had been opened and the women sat shivering, with their hands burled In muffs. UnaJale longer to endure tho draughts. Mrs. Cory rose, and ln Injured tones said: "Wo all have ' cold feet T believe In plenty of fresh air. but I like It warm." "Hot air!" falrlv screamed Miss The resa Barcalow. "I couldn't live ln hot air. Why. tho fresh, rich blood rushes to my face," she continued, waving her arms expressively. "Juat as if the fresh, rich blood didn't rush to my face," retorted Mrs. Cory. "Who can doubt that If Poe had used dumbbells more his poems would have been loss uncanny?" continued the lec turer, when she got a chance. Then tho chair called for a general discussion of tho subject, and among others Mrs. Lee of Boston told the women that ln her town they all believed ln fresh air, nnd that ln addition to the five senses that New Yorkers have, tho Bostonese have twb more tho electric and magnetic tem peraments. "And It depends upon whether your stomuch Is alkali or ncld what kind of air, food and exercise you aro to take," sho said. She so startled her Interested nu dlenco with her seven-senso theory that those who had been trying long, deep brouthing suddenly stopped, fearing theirs wns tho wrong kind of stomach for such . treatment, and that somo awful fate awaited them.

It is believed, have slumped ln the British market, for It appears from settlement of the Alice Thaw trusteeship less than a million was all the Countc-as of Yarmouth was able to pay for hers. There was, talk at tho time of tho wedding of Miss Thaw to tho noblo carl that ho delayed the wed ding until her family met his terms as to the size of the heiress's dot. Lord Yarmouth denied that vigorously, or friends did so for him. but the sup posed Incident aroused a good deal of In terest In tho sum actually to bo settled on tho Pittsburg girl to equip her for her new position. It was assumed by those who knew how liberal Mrs. Thaw had been to her son Harry that the young Countcsa would receive a fund running well Into seven figures and It wns recog nized tho income thereof would be enjoyed by tho affable Briton who had bestowed his title on tho Yankeo lass. The Fidelity and Trust company has filed the llrst papers settling tho trustee ship created for tho Counters.
