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

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.

steps of Mrs. Ronalds and several times
this season has given delightful Sunday
parties. Every hostess who helps to en
liven the dreariness of the London Sunday
deserves the deep and eternal gratitude of
her friends. 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.

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.' "
Motoring novels are still rated among
ilia "best sellers.1'

ATTACKS HOUSE OF COMMONS
Victor Grayson, M. P., Says it is Dia
lectical Humbug.
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 whole thing is pervaded with
an air of childish theatricality. Each
begowned flunkey goes through his stupid

this speech are only those that an im
patient public opinion has clamored loudly
for. 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. If a
referendum were taken tonvirrow on the
question of a substantial old age pension

feeding of starving children, it must b
patent to tho most reactionary mind that
an overwhelming majority would vote in
favor. 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

period that he came across the works ot ,
the great American thinkers, Emerson, .
Thoreau and Whitman; and from reading
those authors he was "converted" from '
his purely sectarian or theological attitude
to look at the problems of life from tf
larger nspect.
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

and he managed to win the seat.

When Grayson first made up his mind

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.

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.
