"Taking It easy? Well, not exactly!
Why, summer Is our busiest season. There
is no dull time In our business. Society
wants to be amused the year around even
In Lent."
' Bo 'said the man whose business It Is to
provide drawing-room novelties for the
very rich. His office la located on a side
treat cloae to New York's most fashion
able shopping district and occupies a well
Ughted basement room. The front Is of
olid plate glass,', through which be can
soe the carriage of a well known society
woman as soon as it draws up before his
door.
Here oomes Mrs. George J. Gould in
search of some attraction for her guests
at Georgia Court, Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish
demanding a novel feature to spring at her
next dinner party, and the well known
bachelor host who would offer a striking
.foreign "act" when he gathers a few
choice spirits around his board.
Sometimes the patron leaves her car
riage, enters the office and critically scans
the engagement book the agent spreads
before her, but more often Vhe leans from
her brougham, and Inquires Impatiently,
"Have you nothing newt"
Extravagant Summer Entertainment.
"The time when summer represented a
cessation of social extravagances, a period
of rest, la now past,"ooald this man the
other day. "With' what Is known the
country over as 'the smart set' summer
stands for the most extravsgant methods
of entertaining, and New York reaps the
benefit of the Innovation.
"Why? Simply because to the newly-
made millionaire Newport Is the summer
battle ground. There, if he Is properly
sponsored by some New York leader, he
conducts the social skirmish which pre
pares him for the more vigorous campaign
In the city next winter. He may be a ship
builder from Philadelphia, a pork packer
from Chicago, -a steel magnate from Pitts
burg or a gold king from California. He
may have conquered the social world In
his native state, but he will not feel that
he belongs to thj truly l?ct of America's
multl-mlUlcnalrcs until he has won out in
a Newport season. It has taken s me fam
ilies half a doaen seasons to penetrate the
social circle. Borne have failed utterly,
but it la ell fish for our baskets, for he
who would entertain at Newport must draw
his supplies from New York whether It be
food, flowers or fun.
"The social season in the city grows
shorter each winter. Styles of entertaining
In the city are necessarily more conven
tional. Dinners, dances and the opera,
with occasional vaudeville entertainments,
fill the bill In town. City houses do not
lend themselves readily to blsarre features,
but a country place, with spacious grounds,

Invites experiments along social lines, i
There Is no pastoral simplicity about the j
modern garden rete. it stanas lor mo
most extravagant, the most ornate, the
most luxurious type of entertaining whloh
modern hosts can contrive.
'Whenever one of these gorgeous func
tions la given the country is duly informed
of all. the glittering details by an enter
prising press. The social secretary of the
host or hostess receives reporters, fur
nishes them with typewritten descriptions
of decorations and lists of guests, con
ducts them perfunctorily over the grounds
and through the miniature theater and dis
misses them courteously. But neither the
clean, typewritten document nor the brief
glimpse , of the social fairyland can give
to these writers any idea of the immense
amount of thought and work which pre
cedes the brilliant pageant.
"This is divided between the host, some
valuable intimate friend, usually a (mascu
line one, denominated by facetious writers
as 'a tame cat,' and the amusement agent
who la called Into the conferences and who
secures the talent.'
Acme of Summer Entertainment.
"The Pembroke Joneses set the lace for
garden fetes In 1901, and nothing given
since can compare with the falry-llke scene
Into which their Newport place, 'Frledham,'
was turned on that occasion. More original
programs have been offered, more striking
effects 'secured, but nothing more ex
quisitely artistic ever greeted society's
critical eye. For weeks electricians were
employed wiring the rose garden, until
every bush held almost as many tiny bulbs
as rosebuds. The temporary theatre was
rose-colored, the marquises were of the
same hue, and the ballroom was walled In
roae-flgured cretonne, with garlands of
natural blossoms. Where roses did not
bloom, hedges were built from stately stalks
of American beauties. And when the
grounds were thrown open to guests, every
rosebud biased Into light; even the roses
themselves seemed to have electric bulbs
burled In their hearts.
"That function Is estimated to have cost
Its hosts fully $28,000, and it consisted of a
dinner with covers for 260 guests, who
swung around from their table to watch a
vaudeville performance In the miniature
theater, after which the cotillion was
danced. In this case, the floral and elec
trical decorations were perhaps the heav
iest, Item of expense.
"When the Cornelius Vandsrbllts closed
a New York theater and secured the serv
ices of a Broadway company for one night
at their Newport villa, great stress was
laid upon the extravagance of this feature
of the entertainment. In reality, the theat
rical entertainment was one of the smallest
Items In the account, being represented by
Just $3,000 all told. The theater In which
the pluy was given for this one night only
was three weeks in building, from plans
drawn by an architect. It was lined in
pure white, and the decorations were Louis
XV . garlands In broad satin ribbon 'hung
with glided baskets holding real yellow
roses.
Uvea the Flowers Cost More.
"The old belief that flowers are plentiful
in summer and that a girden fete deco
rates Itself or Is decorated by Dame Na
ture Is far from the real facts Floral
decorations for sumer fetes run fsr ahead
of the same feature In winter entertain
ments, because summer houses and grounds
literally eat up flowers. What wouU maka

a magnificent showing in a town house is
lost on the porches, in the temporary
theaters and ball rooms, the marquise and i
numerous tents which mark the summer
entertainment. The summer fete with the
very rich is no longer served au natural,
but with all the aids that modern art can
give it.
"The out-of-town hostess pays heavily
for her catering. She Is not ' served by
Newport help, but draws all this from New
York. The railway fares for' assistants at
such a function as was given by the Pem
broke Joneses or the Cornelius Venderbllu
would easily amount to a thousand dollars.
As a rule the caterer, the theatrical man
ager and the florist all work under a con
tract, and you may be sure that the con
tract covers U extra expenses with a com
fortable margin for the contracting party.
"In addition to this, It Is customary for
the hostess to serve a banquet of no mean
order to the actors who entertain her
guests, and Mrs. Vanderbllt distributed
souvenirs of sterling silver and gold.
"From this It will be seen that a big
showing cannot be made at Newport under
Ave figures, while In New York a brilliant
dinner with a musicals in which Metro
politan opera, star appear, can be g(ven for
$6,000
Costly Week-End Parties.
"The week-end parties which have taken
such a tremendous hold not only on the
'smart set,' but among all people who make
any pretense to being in society, are not
the- inexpensive methods of entertaining
popularly supposed. They are usually the
excuse for three days of dinners and dances
which are marked by all the extravagances
of a city affair. Caterers, musicians and
florists cannot supply the demand for Fri
day, Saturday and Sunday nights, and any
vaudeville performer of standing whose of
fering fits well Into parlor or porch enter
taining is kept busy during the summer
season with these out-of-town dates.
"Speaking of week-end parties It must be
confessed that Sunday Is becoming more
and more popular as a day of entertain
ment. The smartest breakfasts, the most
convivial dinners and some of the most
successful muslcalea are given at out-of-town
houses on Sunday.
"Another class of hosts who spend large
sums of money In summer entertaining are
the yachting class. There are men, notably
confirmed bachelors, who entertain little In
winter, but spread themselves aboard their
yachts In summer,
'The modern yscht Is exquisitely ap
pointed, and Its salon and dining room are
always adorned with fresh-cut flowers. The
catering to cuisine on board a yacht differs
according to the taste snd habits of Its
owner. Some have French chefs aboard,
others use Jspaneee cooks and one well
known bachelor is famous for a service thst
recslls the grill room. His steaks and
chons are the envv of every guest.
"The wine supply on a yacht is a heavy

to think It her privilege to adopt some fad,
and one of the oddest Is Mrs. Clarence
Mackay's. This woman of millions has a
mania for white In her house and In her
frocks. She luxuriates In snowy linen, any
thing that looks fresh and fleecy, and It is
said that when her summer place Is open
to guests, her laundry bills run as high as
$600 a week.
"This may seem Inoredlble, but to one
who has seen how extravagantly the multi
millionaires of this country live, the sum
named is quite within reason.
"The host does not spend money alone.
Quests pay tribute to the summer god of
pleasure. The tipping habit In hotels is
as nothing when compared to that adopted
in private families since this -country has
followed England In the matter of a staff
of servants. Quests at country houses tip
everybody, frbm the housekeeper, who
looks Indirectly, after their comfort, to the
"buttons. who carries their umbrellas to
the waiting automobile when time for de
parture comes.
"In England and on the continent the
entertainment of house parties is mora or
less conventional . People do the same
thing year after year, and resent novelty
in the method of entertainment. In fact,
except in what is known as the fast set of
good old England, entertainment Is per
functory, placid and It might be said
thrifty. But In America once a woman de
cides to become famous as a hostess shs
throws discretion to the winds and sows
money as the proverbial youth sows his
wild oats with prodigal hand."
COAL BIDS NOT SATISFACTORY

with Proposals.
)
A committee of the Board of Education
is now wrestling with the bids for coal sub
mitted at the last meeting, but no de
cision Is In sight. Three ways are open to
It, the first to accept the highest bid, which
Is the only one with no strings attached
to It, or divide the contract on the two
lowest bids, which have several conditions
attached to them, or to reject all bids and
readvertise. The last course Is favored by
some members, but others fear that lit
adopted, no better, and possibly not such
good bids, will be received. On an average
the bids are $1 per ton higher than those
of one year ago.
