T have heard whispered criticisms of the taste shown by the rich society lord in .selecting that psychological moment, mo-ment, it. seemed that Colonel Astor was celebrating in the most lavish manner man-ner possible to wealth the severing of his nuptial bonds. The entire evening's plcasuro cost $?.0,000. of which the favors alone cost $1S.000. Tt might bo pertinent, to noto that Colonel Astor set a now mark in the distribution of favors.

Mrs. Pusscll Sago, who has heretofore hereto-fore held aloof from the suffrage question, ques-tion, now comes forward in the role of a full-fledged supporter of ''votes for women." .Mrs. Sage made her change of attitude known by her gift of $2000 to tho suffrage campaign fund. She has. not given an interview upon her a sentiments, for she deosn't bolievo in interviews, but her sympathy for the movement is not indicated too broadly to bo mistaken. Among the women noted for wealth a number have not shown decided sympathy for the cause, although 1 would not bo surprised sur-prised to learn that, they have made clandestine donations. Mrs. K. II.

Mr. ".lack" Darragh of Texas, who has mado his way quite airily through tho portals of society both here and at Palm Beach, possesses the ingenious quality of naivette that 1 know of in no other. Anyone might imagine him a sort of llarrv Lehr. Elisha Dyer and Moncure Robinson all in one, for the familiarity he shows with society folk of high station. Ono of Mr. Darragh 's little knacks consists in his familiar way of address. "Fmily and Laura were expected, but. did not come," Mr. Darragh would say, or. "Come, Gwendolyn, Gwen-dolyn, let. us stroll." Unfortunate for Mr. Darragh, he has been frozen several sev-eral times by calling the first names of girls to whom he had never been introduced. in-troduced. Honors for a Woman. For several davs I have heard the report bruited that Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt, Sr.. will soon bceomo the proud possessor of the Order of the Legion of Honor, It was said that tho French government, at the next announcement an-nouncement of enrollments and promotions promo-tions would include her name in tho lienor lien-or list. This is ono of the highest honors hon-ors to be paid to an American woman. The government of France has decorated deco-rated few Americans, and has shown great, reluctance to extending its honors hon-ors to American women. I understand that the govcrnineut expressed the desire, de-sire, through its representatives governing gov-erning (he bestowals of tho Legion, to recognize Mrs. Vanderbilt "s generous churitable donations. The most important impor-tant of tho efforts in this direction ih the new hospital recently established in Paris. If was erected entirely at Mrs- Vanderbilt 's expense. Plans for Roosovelt Wedding.
