During July and August Saturday BRANDEI: WILLIE ASTOR IS UPISH Expatriated American Snubs Royalty at Daughter's Concert. HAUGHTIEST MAN IN ENGLAND British Commons and Americans All Rlht, He Bars, bat Entertain In Kings Involves Too Mach GnoTtllaf, LONDON, July 26. Although not a single royolty was present at the sumptuously or ganised concert which William Waldorf Aator gave the other night at his town house. It was the most striking and suc cessful event of the season. It is quite an open secret that the king and queen as well as the Connaughts were' pining for Invitations. ' The queen especially de sired to hear the wonderful music, but the "bear" of the Terrace, as someone has called the multi-millionaire, was not having any royalties. His daughter-in-law, Mrs. Waldorf Astor, who has con siderable influence with htm, tried to coax him to admit her great friends, the Connaughts, but he would not harbor such an ides for a moment. Astor grows more moody and "nervy" as time goes on and he la succeeding in mak ing everyone afraid of him. "You can have all the British Commons and a many Americans as you like,"' he told his daughter-in-law, "but ( draw the line at people of the blood royal. Kntertalntng them in volves far too much grovelling for my taste. I like to be master In my own house and not a worm." Astor is regarded as the raugtvtlest man in the kingdom. Some time ago he paraphrased an historic expression In saying be would prefer to be the first man in his own house than the second at Wlndson castle. It was Tetraszlnl whom the host took in to supper at the memorable party, a fact which gave the greatest offence to several peeresses and others present. He was rather pleased than otherwise when ha heard this. Paderewskl, who had rooms at the Palace hotel, stayed the night at Carlton House Terrace. This he Invariably does when he plays for Mr. Astor. They are the closest friends. For his performances he received a cheque for $10,000. Tetrasslnl was also presented with one for the same amount. Ao American debutante told me Mr. Astor kissed the prima donna's hand as he handed her the cheque and as she pocketed it she said. "You dear man, I should sing for you for nothing." People who know the diva, however, accepted this wHh the usual grain of salt Mrs. Palmer Mar Bay. There Is an Idea about that Mrs. Potter Palmer would buy Hampden House from the Abercorns. She was very anxious to do so at one time and there were some negotiations with that end In vtow a few months ago. The Abercorns, however, wanted a "fancy" price for the ducal abode which Immediately "put off" the lady from Chicago who, notwithstanding her Immense wealth, has a most correct estimate of the value of money. She knows the worth of everything from an apple to a masterpiece and though she Is willing enough to pay a fair price she will rot give a cent more. Now she Is said to have her eye on Dorchester House, with the obect of buy ing It as a permanent Iondon residence, but she realises thai directly she makes : a definite offer for It the prioa will go vjfr Colonel liolford baa already been ap Itn. it.

M. proached on the subject by an agent for Mrs. Potter Palmer, her name being care fully concealed, but there the matter rests for the present. Her own friends say she Intends to settle nothing until she returns to London after a long visit to America. Mrs. Palmer has been looking very tired lately. She will be glad when the time comes for her to sail as although not a good sailor she nevertheless gets some rest during her voyage across the At lantic. Iover'a Knots Supplant Tiaras. For the moment the tiara is "out of it." This, of course. Is a mere whim on the part of fashion. Just now the more ad vanced women are wearing true-lovers'-knots In jewels or some other trifle In the way of ornament in their hair, rele gating their all round crowns and tiaras to the safety deposit vaults. Even the queen, who but rarely follows the dic tates of fashion, has been adorning her hair with tulle, a rhou of velvet or a rose. Mrs. George West has always had a penchant for osprey and so has her sis ter. Mrs. "Jack" Leslie. Both, sitting to gether, wore clumps of It the other night at the opera. Young Mrs. Astor wore no tiara at her father-ln-law's concert. Even Mrs. Bradley Martin, who is rarely seen without hers In the evening, Is for the mo ment following the prevailing vogue. In the first Instance It was Lady Newborough who has wonderful Jewels, who set the fashion of the simplo hair adornment. Urn n ken Quarrel at Dinner. Every one present at Mrs. Mackay's dinner party (which was organised as a prelude to Mr. Astors concent, taking place a stone's throw off) was disgusted at the bad taste of the diplomat and the cabinet minister in selecting a lady's dinner table at which to pick their quarrel. There are several versions of the tale. It seems It arouse out of a discussion over the king's recent visit to Russia, the cabinet minister defending the king, while the foreign diplo mat saw the matter in another light. Both men lost their heads absolutely and used very strong language. There was no mis taking the fact that before they arrived at Mrs. Mackay's they had been drinking something moro than tea and the cham pagne at dinner did the rest. The cabinet minister In question Is an old offender In this respect and labor members in the House, who are a body of most abstemious men, have had their yes on him for a long tlma past. He Is one of their bitterest foes. It Is expected than one of these nights the police will be called in to help him from the sacred precincts of the chamber of the House. If this actually happens It won't be possible to keep his weakness private any longer and in all likelihood he will have to resign on the score of 111 health as others before him have done in similar circumstances. Both Mea Appologrlse. The diplomat with Whom he quarreled Is quite Inoffensive as a rule, and this is the first Instance In which he distinguished himself by appearing ridiculous. The hos tess was extremely distressed over the In cident and at first It was feared that she would be unable to take her guests on to the Astor concert. After having had sal volatile she rose to the occasion and went on. Next day she received the most profuse and abject apologies from both men who said they could not express the regret they felt at what had happened. The loiters so far hsve not been answered. This will be understood when It Is remembered that they drew a crowd of people around thu windows of No. i, Carlton House Terrace by their loud and angry voices. Isassj Affairs Poaalar.

Miss Van Wart has gone one better than Mrs. Ronalds for she has had Maud Allan to dance on a Sunday, a fact which has shocked considerably some of her low church friends. It Is only since Miss Van Wart has gone over to Catholic Ism that she has taken such sensible views on the matter of spending the Sunday. Hitherto, as she recently remarked, no power would have Induced her to spend the rest day in anything but the most dreary manner. She Invariably, however, goes to two masses each Sunday, usually at Farm Street or the Oratory. Unlike Mrs. Ronalds, Miss Van Wart is one of the wealthy women who never dream of asking artists to perform for her without a fee. She has the best music or the best dancing and she pays for It. LADY MARY. WHAT IS A LALLAPALOOSA? American Startles London with Word and Reporter Finally Solves the Problem. LONDON, July 25.-(Speclal.)-Amerlcans traveling in England should be careful of their use of expressions. Two Chlcagoana who were seeing London from the top of an omnibus the other day, made frequent use of the word "lallapaloosa" with dis astrous results to the peace of mind of the native Britisher, one of whom heard the expression and wrote to a local paper ask ing for a translation of the Americanism. The paper referred the hard nut to Its readers and "What Is lallapaloosa?" threatens to become as great a national problem as was "How old Is Ann?" The editor of the enterprising paper, of course, dispatched one of his star reporters on a quest for a "lallapaloosa" with In structions to get a picture of it If pos sible." The newspaper man Immediately re paired to the British museum and Inter viewed a long-halrd scteuttst. "There is no thing as a 'laUapaloona on exhibition here," announced that worthy after serious thought and a prolonged re ference to the catalogue. "There Is a bare possibility, however, tltut It may be among the unclassified speclment In the cellar. Call around again In a week and I will have a search made in the meantime. Where does It come from?" "Oh, from the United States,' answered the reporter. A look of sadness, like a tailored veil, settled on the features of tne scientist. "From America, you say?" he said finally. "Ah, there are many freaks in the United States that have not yet reached the museum. But they will be here for future generations." Eventually the newspaper man landed up against a Yankee who took the question seriously and this Is what ha suid: It is a cstchword in New York. It ex presses astonishment at any strange sight or object. It might apply to a street ac cident In which a cab-horse, a coster cart and an automobile were tangled up to gether, or to a very tall story. "I beard an Englishman say the other doy. 'Well, that's a knock-out,' and I guess that's a good translation for 'Well, that's a lallapaloosa.' "For Instance. If I spied a stout lady In a dlrectolre gown with a market garden on a three-foot hat, I should say, 'Well thst's a lallapaloosa.'

HAMPERS WORK OF LAW MAKING Socialist Member Aboat to Visit America Declares Lower Body Is Useful Only as Speakers Platform. LONDON, July S5.-(Speclal.) Victor Grayson, M. P., who recently attained the distinction of being among the four mem bers of Parliament 'blacklisted" by the king from attendance at his majesty's gar den party to which all M. P.s are usual ly Invited has announced his intention of soon going to America to study social con ditions. Grayson, Kelr Hardle, Harry Marks and Arthur Ponsonby all voted against the king's visit to the czar Russia. King Edward has retaliated by not inviting them to his garden party, which Is a marked "snub." Grayson Is glad under the circumstances to be singled out for royal disfavor, as It compensates him for his failure to deliver Ills great speech protesting aga'nst tho king of Engiand's hobnobbing with the Rupslan autocrat, and enables htm to express by social mar tyrdom his sympathy with what he con siders his down-trodden Russian prolttarlat. Getting into Parliament Is the end and aim of most ambitl us Brit'shers; but Gray son the recent succesxful candidate from Colne Valley looks upon h's triumph rather dubiously. He pays Parliament as at present constituted, Is literally the end of most aspirants to fame, In the sense that it Is their "finish" for good work in the world. Grayson, by the way. Is one of the youngest members of the House of Commons, being only twenty-seven; and yet, perhaps, he Is the most picturesque personally In Parliament. He has won his way Into the house through sheer force of Individual popularity, and that among the J poorest section of the people. Belfast Speech Brinies Fame. He sprung suddenly 'into fame daring th Belfast strike by a speech In wh'ch he la reported to have advised the strikers to uae glsss-botties to fight with if they rouid not get guns. His speech against grant ng Lord Crcmer an award of 'Z,0,X)b .'or hi rule in Egypt ulsi "brought him tut." Grayson holds strong views on Pari imm tsry ineffl ency. D oling with thit tub Ject in the course of a recent Interview granted to the writer, he made the follow ing rather startling statement: "The ancient chamber is swaddled In the mediaeval veslmrnts of pompous and now meaningless prxredure. The legislative ma chine Is exquisitely devised to prevent or at least rendir difficult ar.y change In stereotyped institutions. "The game of parliamentary dlabolo," continued the M. P., "Is opened eaoh year by the king. All the voluptuous sensuous ness of oriental splendor, a dazxllng and bewildering mass of color, the pomp of mltered ecrU-slaatli Ism and cororled no bility surround t!ie throne. The eagerly listening Commons crowd the galleries and below the bar to hear fall (mm the gra cious lips the legislative promise of the year.

The cabinet Is a heterogenous collec tion of vested interests. The prime min ister, however well Irjtentloned, is like a trick cyclist riding cleverly and carefully between obstacle. Each special interest Jealously guards Its estate. Chief Dntr to Waste Time. "The opposition conceives its chief duty to be to waste the time of the government and to put the brake on an already creep ing hearse. A bill proposing, say, some urgent reform has to brave the perilous process of first and second readings; to subject Itself to the vivisecting knife of hostile persons, and if It survives In a condition ever so emaciated the asphyxiat ing atmosphere of the House of Lords, It comes back to mock the condition It waa designed to alleviate. "The hours of the House are fixed be tween the ridiculous times of 3:30 and 1:30. This is a sop to the legal and commercial members. Once safely within the cham ber, the member dries his tears of sym pathetic anguish, stills the heart that beats during the election for human suf fering, carefully brushes his passionate pledges and lays them tenderly on the shelf till the next election. "I remember leaving the house one even ing In company with n bluff and hearty Liberal member. Stopping at the outer gate and seising my arm cordially, he gazed with reverential awe at the light burning In the house. 'Still that light burns,' he said, tremulously, 'the House works.' I could not restrain a smile of precocious cynicism as I thought of the worn, ine nay s routine tins a sickening monotony. Precious time In which earn est, inspired men should be forging gener out legislation for the people, Is wantonly wasted. One yearns for a strong north wind of realism to sweep through the musty chamber, or that some God might touch their vision with a sense of fitness and proportion. We have pleaded in vain for a day to consider feeding the starving school children. But the prime minister, with the utmost urbanity, replies that the House Is too busy with other Import ant business. A little time rlapsts, and the House has an all-night sitting to dis cuss and pass the deceased wife's slHter's bill. As a cynical Liberal friend observed to me In the small hours of the morning, the only good suggestion of the bill is that there Is a deceased wife. "This painful absence of right perspect ive on the part of any government, al leging Itself to have a serious human pur pose, is depressing to the point of pessim ism. -o Relation to Britishers. "The first impression of an earnest mem ber la one of hopelessness ond futility. There seems to be no Imaginable relation between this conventional und formal as sembly of phlegmatic and ceremonious Britishers, sleek and well fed, and the great drab mass of humanity who grope In the mean streets of the great cities. These good-humored and complacent per sons are not to blame for their apathy. They have never lived near enough to the heart of humanity to feel Its beat. To them the words hunger, poverty, destitu tion, are abstract and academic phrases with no real meaning. They have never stared against the black, blai k wall of hopelessness. What do they know, what can they know of the haunting spectre that dogs every step of the luckless worker? "With consummate irony we call our system of government democratic.

And yet the houe toys with Irri tating finesse with these crying social evils. They save their national reputation by placing the burdens of finance on mori bund local authorities. Their measures re flect the worst vices of the middle class and their horizon Is limited to the law of Inviolability of rent. Interest and profit. This Is the triple-headed god to whose worship the complex machinery of the house Is but a ritual. Xo Hope for Commons. "I have no hopo for tho House of Com mons with Its present personnel. It Is a wornout and antiquated machlno that must be scraped and replaced by something more In consonance with the new desires of a new era. The age is too advanced to tolerate this dialectical humbug. The old parties have exhausted their purpose and lost their meaning. The heart is dead, and they have fatty degeneration of the brain. The needs of the age are shorter hours, cleaner and more dignified labor, better houses, bettor workshops, Juster remunera tion. The people, are ceasing to let out their thinking as they let out their wash ing, and when the process Is complete there will be a destruction of baubles and Parliament will have to deal with human life." These remarks of Mr. Grayson are espe cially Int. resting from the fact that he has sprung Into prominence from the bottom rung of the ladder, and on the strength of his mere personality, entirely aside from all political organizations, as such. It Is generally supposed that getting Into the British Parliament without money, or a strong political "pull" is Impossible. But, Just as in America, everyone has a chance of being president; so, in England, every one has a chance of getting Into Parlia ment. If he only knows how to do the trick. I'.n trance Thronali Slnuia. Ornyson's entrance Into the House of Commons has been through tho back door of the slum. He first began his career as a worker among the fallen women of Man chester. When only 19 years eld lie entered a seminary for .theological studies, and, on completing his course of three years' study, took up his residence In one of the worst slums of Manchester, In the famous or, rather. Infamous Ancoats district. Here the mill hands were wont to foregather and hold weekly orgies. Young Grayson succeeded In making mm Impression on this life, but at length came to realize that one man, or oo men, working ut such reforms could accomplish little unless rad ical changes were made In the whole soc ial status of the people. It was Just at this I V . MED mother's shapeliness.

Abandoning his theological work, he went as a teacher and lecturer among the miners of Colne valley one of the worst spots of England and having previously spent sev years of his life among thu poor, ho soon became a favorite among tho people with whom ho Is deeply In sympathy. Tha miners of Colne valley last year put Grayson as their candidate for Parllamc icnM and he managed to win the seat. Joined the Winning; Element. When Grayson first made up his mind to enter the political arena, he was told that the only way to get in waa to Join some of the partita who practically con trol the machinery ot tha House. 11a re fused, however, to be bound down by any party, even the labor element, and Insisted upon standing out and fighting his wuy "on his own." Whilo a close student of social problems, he does not agree with many of the leaders of tho socialistic type, and takes a somewhat wider view of eco nomics than tho delegates who go into Parliament not as representatives of tha people but under a pledge bound agree ment to vote In whatever way their par!? dictates. Grayson refused to enter ParlmC mi nt on these conditions ,and determined J to get himself sent into .the House by u V deflnlto section of the community, entirely V- lndependi mly of any party. When he agreed to stand for a mining constituency, even the labor party did not come to his support, and he really won his election on the strength of his solid following wiUi Um miners. For this somewhat "insuborlnato" atti tude, he Is not accorded privileges which lie) would have If ho formed a member of any definite party, but he reconciled lilm self to this uttitudo by the "independence' he is able to maintain. Altogether, Grayston Is one of the re markable developments of the times so far as thu House of Columns la concerned. Having lui sympathy with the House as an "institution" he seems to take a grim pleasure in shocking that dignified chamber by his repeated and scathing attacks on its untediluvlan procedure.
