young oung generation today Another fashionable matron who entertains quite la lavishly during the season remarked The Tile young rUU people today are arc Bolshevists They are arc utterly lacking in discipline and good manners Varied have been the experiences of leading ea ing society women with these walk One young oung man known somewhat to a few members of so society so the notion of attending one of the balls balla for which hick Mrs 1 Stuyvesant Stoy Fish was noted in ill ii her herr day a as leader of the the Everything Every Every- thir thil thing went well weB with the young man till Mrs Fis Fish spied him She walked over o to him and said pleasantly I HI 1 cannot recall that we have met wet be be- fore You have nothing on me mc returned d the youth routh I never saw you ou before Mr Ml Mis Fish then introduced herself and the young man mm fled The curious laxity on the p part of a certain type o of woman who loves loyes to entertain and who is forever lion rHon hunting in fashionable drawing rooms was told recently by a well known knol society woman who said Meeting l a han handsome some and distinguished looking English officer at a rather overcrowded o tea lea and reception one of these persistent per pcr- nt entertainers asked ed him to a dinner thinner at t her home As he had few friends here and meeting under such favorable circumstances in that fashionable fashionable fash fash- ion able gathering he accepted the offered hospitality hos hos- Even This Can Happen Scanning the house numbers in the drizzly blackness of the night he figured that while the big graystone ra stone houses many of which bore no numbers the home to which he was going was the one from which many lights shone Having met his hostess on only y once he did not recall her especially well so he presented himself to the tho dazzling hostess who wn was of the ame same t type pe given to r entertaining distinguished guests and she we wel welcomed comet come him with a broad smile Seated next to him at dinner was a young woman with whom he fell feU quite mildly madly in love She invited in him hint to call calI She was the niece of the hostess A few days later he received a note from the won ian an who first invited him inquiring if he were ill or why ho Iw had not conic come to tr dinner mer He lie went back to what he thou thought ht was the neighborhood in which he lie had spent a pleasant evening ening first to see again his hh fascinating dinner companion anti and next to apologize to his hostess for the mistake he lie had haI made Being a u stranger er in New York in spite of the thc many inquiries ho made and with with I the help of r the tho telephone and md city directory he lie could n not t locate the gorgeous home homo where he had been heen an un uninvited I guest est This is merely to illustrate that such things can hau happen cu in New York One of the most amusing o of such incidents is related by h- Mrs 1 Price Post a member oL of fashion fashion- abl is bis New ew York and Tuxedo society Speaking of or society in war pre lla nays s 's when often there were four or fi five dances given in an rin evening ening in the sane same locality tr Mrs Post sid said groups of young oung people had hadl 1 been een known to make m the round of the different lin lent lances Of course she added addI I 1 think no well bred person would go golo goto goto to lo a ball bH uninvited but sometimes it happened happ nod that a young Iun man J knowing tho the hostess of a big i 1 i S j r y dinner dance would woul take his friends over to spend an hour or so at the balli ball ball- r 1 i heard of one one most amusing occurrence of this sort said Mrs Post It was s an evening when there were ere four debutante parties On One Ons of these out coming-out parties par ies was for a s young woman whose people had untold wealth but had not lived live Tong Jong enough in New York to have any large or substantial acquaintance in the fashionable s get act t. t The debutante daughter had gone to a fashionable fashionable fashion fashion- able I girls' girls school where she sho had made some good friends friende with nth girls in tho the smartest t social set jit It happened that one of these loyal Joyal friends whispered whiSpered whispered whis whiS- to semo some of her companions that the little debutante might not have havo the tho most enjoyable party in the thc world knowing so fe few Y people so she ball she eho attending Lets Fete suggested at the was go over and md help make her party a go bro Giving a Lift to the Party The Thc novel Idea rondo made an nn instant hit with about 20 G young men and md women of tho the best socially so so- dally known families in in- New York The uThe little litHe loyal friend was quite quit right In spite EPHe of tho the superior music the tho wonderful flowers and the splendid refreshments which ch surpassed tho those e of the other parties us o oi of tho the evening the little little littIe lit lit- tle tIe debutante did not have the people to make maJ e it ita ita a n huge success The 20 uninvited guests thereupon decided to d desert sert the other parties for the evenin evening find and nd naturally the hostess quick to comprehend the meaning of such an ultra fashionable group of guests exerted herself to bestow upon them tho the attention she felt they deserved for helping to tomake tomake tomake make her r daughters daughter's party one ono of the seasons season's great successes Sometimes the uninvited guest arriving late finds to his consternation that it was purely a amis mis mistake It has happened at some of the big hotels where two or three dances on different floors were in progress in the same evening that thata a n young g man meeting people he knew would not discover his mistake until just before leaving Jut hereafter there will wiIl be no chances taken takeno o of admitting an uninvited guest After a n. hostess feels sh she has received all an the guests she will not leave the tile chance of lingering unidentified guests on the thc outside to fate Her butler or footman will r remain main at nt the door to see that no unbidden guest is admitted Ho must show his invitation |
