SOCIETY New York’s Social Leaders of the [, k. NEW YORK. February 26—A few decades ago the term “the 400" was coined as a distinctive designation for New York society. At that time the figure was considered somewhat large and several of the leaders of the day &hook their heads and intimated that the admitting of such a number to the inner shrine was putting too great a burden on exclusiveness. They openly declared it was overcrowding the social calendar. Who among those protesting few could have imagained that in 1927 the rolls of the smart clubs alone would include 40.000. prominept men and women in this city? None was daring enough to predict that homes of exclusive organizations would dot the hills of Westchester and the shores of Long Island. Even the distinctive colony at Tuexdo Park was a venture at that time and considered a bit too far from the city to be really practical for those who cared to share in the round of events of town life The change which has occurred in a short time is emphasized in the book recently issued and entitled “Club Members of New York.” This con- tains the names and addresses of 40,000 members of 45 clubs in the metropolitan area. It also gives his- torical sketches in connection with the growth of the clubs, including the Union League, Turf and Field, Calu- met and others of equal importance. The clubs are divided under separate headings—Westchester, Long Island, golf, yacht, women's and local. The full list is as follows: Ardsley. Authors. Bankers, the Brook, the Calumet, Cen- tury Association, the Creek, Colony, Engineers, Greenwich Country, Hamil ton, Harvard, Hudson River Country, Huntington Bay, 1Indian Harbor Yacht, Jockey, Junior League, Knick- erbocker, Larchmont-Yacht, Long Is- land Country, Lotos, Meadowbrook, Metropolitan” Club, Metropolitan Golf Association, New York Club, New York Stock Exchange, New York Yacht, North Hempstead Country, Pen and Brush, Piping Rock, Racquet and Tennis, Riding, Seawanhaka-Cor- inthian Yacht, Scaredale Golf. Shin- necock Hills Golf, Sleepy Hollow Coun- try, St. Nicholas, Turf and Field, Tuxedo, Union, Union League, Uni. versity, ~University of Brooklyn, Women's University Club and Yale.
