How to Farm Four Hundred In
SniMll Town You Will Make Knemlrn,
but Tlmt Is One of the lriinltlea of
UrealiiFia.
HHclal Corrrsiwndonce.
New Yoiik, April 14. Altnont every
mnll brings n butch of lotturn to Wnnl
MuAllistor, tlio loader of Now York'8
celebrated Four Hundred, nuking for
advico on "How to bocoiuo n Hocloty
lcador." Pretty nearly all of theno lot
terx are from nmbltiotiH young gontlo
mon in Binnll towns who are delrous tf
fonniug 11 Four Hundred of their own.
Invariably they nro of gotnl family, en
joying oxcollent nodal jtrlvilegeit, but,
not knowing to roin-s, thoy aro unable
to estnlilinh thouiRolveti at tlio head ol
tho proceHHion. Henco thoy turn to th
great arbiter of American Bocioty for
coutmel, and in mich num1orH do their
mtalvcM como that Mr. McAllle tor, if ho
attempted to answer them all, would Uo
comitelletl to hire a herotury to look af
ter thLs cIiihh of correHpoudeuco alone.
Slnco be iHsned his famotm ukiiHO, di
viding the original Four Hundred into an
"inner circle" of 150, an "outer circle"
and a "fringe," theo communication!!
huvo Iwon particularly numeroiut. Tho
incident nurvctl to revive general inter
est in the peculiar hold which tho chief
of tho Four Hundred has on hit) follow
er in thu giddy whirl, and naturally re
quest h for instruction an to tho best
means of climbing tho ladder of Hocial
fumo huvo increased. For tho benefit of
his numerous corresiHUidents, 110110 of
whom could otherwise lie instructed at
his hands, Mr. McAllister consented re
cently to an interview on the subject of
how society and society leaders may best
bo built lip.
"It is tho easiest thing in tho world, '
said he, "for a man, young or old, to
become n society leader and to build up
a distinct society. But it requires a
great many uncommon qualities, nnd
unless ho itossesses these ho will 1kj wiser
if ho leaves thu task nlono. Ho must
possess push, tho faculty of organization
nnd administration, finu powers of diplo
macy, pci feet tact, u thorough knowl
edge of men and tho capacity to make
enemies with equanimity.
"Certain people of wealth and influ
enco.will ho found in every community
who nro in every way ineligible for ad
mission into good society. These per
sons nro ufajlntely certain to visit nil
their resentment on tho bend of tho man
who is looked uon as tho organizer of
tho set from which they have licen ex
cluded, and naturally thoy will do all
in their power to injure him. Therefore,
tho ability to ucnr tho attacks of ouo
mies is particularly essential, to a man
who wnnts to assumo society leadership.
Given this ability, and Iteing in iwsses
siou of tho other qualities I have enu
merated, tho goal enn w readied by fol
lowing a very bimplo lino of procedure.
"In the first place, tho aspirant wants
to 1)0 particular in his dress. I don't
mean that ho shall ho a dudo or a dandy,
but ho wnnts to bo always well dressed
and cultivate especially n hubit of wear
ing evening attire with ease and grace.
There is nothing that tends no much to
tho pleasures of socioty as tho dress coat.
In America the people aro far behind
Europe in this matter. There it is real
ized that nothing helps so much in
throwing off tho cares of business as
oveniug approaches as tho changing of
one's clotho.1, tho laying oft of one's
workday uniform as it were. No Eng
lishman vhr pretends to bo at all fash
ionable will think of sitting down to
dinner unless ho is attired in his swal
low tail, oven when ho dines in his own
houso surrounded only by his family.
"Of courso this is not to bo looked for
hero for some time to como yet, especial
ly in small communities, but it will bo
found plensant as well as iollto to
change ono'ueoat for dinner at homo and
put on n fresh shirt, This will lead
naturally to tho dress coat ns an ha
bitual easy evening attire, and tho man
who wants to step out of the social ranks
to tho front will do well to set a good
example to tho )ersons whom ho wishes
to lead hy wearing a dress coat on all
suitahlo occasions. Tlio others will fol
low in much lebs tinio than teems pos
sible, and tho change in bearing and de
portment that will como over the com
pany is certain to be most marked.
"But as a matter of course tho wear
ing of a dress coat and tho habit sf
dressing for dinner will not in itselt
mnko 11 society leader. Thoy aro only
incidents, though very essential. Tho
main thing is to create the best clcmcnU
of a place into a distinct and, as far a
permissible, an exclusive circle. This
can bo done without the possession or
expenditure of wealth by tho proper per
son, by tho organization of subscription
entertainments that is, entertainments
where everybody pays his or her share
of tho expenses. These entertainments
may take a wido range and aro to ho
adapted to tho season. In summer thoy
can tako tho shape of picnics, excur
sions, outdoor luncheons and dances.
"When fall and winter arrive, balh,
dinners and other suitable aiTairs may
bo substituted. It is tho duty of the ier
son who desires to le looked up to as 11
leader to start these entertainments and
see that they aro made iiermaueut.
Onco tho beginning is made they will
run along of their own accord, almost
without an effort, anil become recog
nized bocial institutions of the place.
To inaugurate them a list of tint most
desirable people should bo carefully pre
pared, In this work it may bo found
necessary to exclude agieat many peo
ple who hao money, but aro otherwise
vulgar and unfit for intimate social re
lations with careful ladies and gentle
men. Uulct-H this is douu the attempt
to form anything like an harmonious ho
ciety M't will prove a failure.
"On the other hand a largo number of
people who nro poorer than their more
fort mm to uolghbors wilt bo found de
sirable acquisitions bocauso of ruim
rior manners and attainments nnd fam
ily connection!). It Is hero where tlio
tact and diplomacy and knowledge of
human nnturo will Walled sharply into
requisition. Tho list lieing made up and
rovliod a number of times, tho next step
is to circulate among thu people con
cerned ami secure their active co-o(era-tlon
and support. This Is tho easiest
matter in thu world, The jteoplo aro
only too happy to help along an under
taking of this kind and will eagerly aid
n man who has tho force nnd push to
lead them. Subscriptions to the differ
ent events will como almost without an
effort, and each successive event will lte
easier to manage than tho one that has
gone tieforo.
"After the first affair has come off it
may Imi desirable to weed out the list of
oliglhlcH. and this should lm done relent
lessly, though tho ill feeling on tho part
of those set aside may lo greater ami
harder to bear than if thoy had Iteenloft
out in tho first place. But that must
not deter tho man who has set tHo task
of creating a Four Hundred before bin
eyes, and if ho is only steadfast and de
termined and jKtlitic, ho will soon feel
that the wrath of tho slighted will glide
over him as easily as other letty trou
bles, of life. Additions to tho ranks may
lm made from time to time as circum
stances may dictate, but they should
only 1m) Hindu with tho greatest circum
spection with more circumspection in
fact than tho formation of the original
list, for it will Ito found much more dif
ficult to weed out newcomers than it
was to weed out tho old.
"This point reached, tho man who has
been the active spirit in organizing these
subscription a Hairs can rest assuicdthut
tho battle is won, and unless ho spoils it
all by Homo imprudence or by lotting go
his hold, his position as tlio recognized
society leader of the place is assured.
But eternal vigilance is tlio price of suc
cess in the social world as well as else
where, and if he wants to retain his
leadership ho must make up his
mind to sacrifice a great deal of time
nnd to submit to a great many annoy
ances at the hands of tho jealous and
disappointed. He must adapt himself
to changes that are constantly occur
ring, and bo wideawake generally."
Ami with that the great McAllister ex
cused himself to give audience to a num
ber of New York society reporters who
were waiting in tho drawing room out
sldo, thereby furnishing another good
point for would bo creators of "select
circles," namely, cultivate tho society
reiwrter. Paul Latzku.

New Yokk, April 1 1. Cornelius Van
tlcrbilt, who was named after his grand
father, the old commodore, has nothing
in common with him but financial abil
ity (tho commodore's whole life was con
secrated to tho accumulation of money),
being 11 well rounded, large minded,
highly estimable character. He is at
forty-five tlio head and controlling spirit
of tho present generation of Vanderbilts,
his brothers, William K. and Frederick
H., following usually in his loud; while
tho youngest brother, George, is not in
business nt all, confining himself entirely
to study.
Imagine what a recreant scion ot
monetary stock tho original Cornelius
would consider George, and how ho
would proclaim, as he did every man
not a money maker, a blank sucker.
Tho commodore very early recognized
Cornelius' ruro financial ability, and ad
mired him accordingly, showing the
highest appreciation of which ho was
capable by leaving his grandson by will
i.OOO.OOO ns n special gift. Ho made
him, soon after attaining his 'majority,
treasurer of the Hudson River railroad,
and trusted implicitly whatever official
statements ho made, saying, in his pe
culiar English, "That 'ere boy, Corned,
is alius right, sure as shootiu."
No millionaire in New York (our mil
lionaires are as a rule notorious niggards
so fur us public benefactions go) is to
inclined to bo generoun in every way,
though he does not parado his giving, ns
Romo others do, Whilo vory orthodox
in creed, ho commnnds tho respect of
tho most hoterodox nnd rationalist, for
they believe him sincero and conscien
tious in his professions. A man of his
immense future feels obliged, for social
considerations, to givo elubornto nnd ex
pensive entertainments, notwithstand
ing which ho is simple and unpretending
in ordinary life.
Ho is accessible in his olllco and at
homo to everybody, savo eccentrics,
bores and impertinent interviewers, and
is free from tlio assumption nnd formal
ism that mark some of his kinsmen. No
man is more industrious, even laborious,
as ho must bo having chargo of so many
millions, of interests so vast and fur
ramifying. Ho works on an average
ten hours 11 day; is punctual in all his
engagements, and considerate of every
body worthy of consideration. Ho takes
pains not to overwork, which is not diffi
cult for n man of so great executive
power. .1. E. J.

Boston, April 1 . Maurice Low, tho
Boston correspondent, told how ho had
interviewed Attorney General Garland
on tho election of Hadl-Camot to tho
presidency of the French republic.
"Good morning, Mr. Garland," said
Low; "what do you think of Sadi-Car-not?"
"I haven't seen her for soveral
years," replied tho attorney general,
"but tho last time I saw her, out in St.
Louis, I thought her tho finest dancer
that ever balanced heielf on 0110 toe."

It is pleasant to turn back tho lenves
of history for two centuries or more and
lead that several preachers who tried'
their pientico hand in America after
wind became famous in England, and It
should not bo forgotten that John Wes

Savannah in 17i!(), and admitted that ho
did not comprehend thu work of grace

tho New World explained it to him.

A IxmkIou paper says that n young man
had a younger sister by tho name of Jcu

iug school. When she went away ho re
marked that ho hoped she wouldn't ac
quire any of the afTectntloiis so oftcm
learned in such places.
For almost n year he had no fault to find
upon this score. Then came a letter signed
Jessica Instead of Jessie. Uo replied as
follows:
"DKAlt Sistku Jkssica Your welcome
