E. Berry Wall, Socidlite, Dies; Last of 19th Century Dandies Deserted New York For Paris After ‘Good Old Days’ By the Associated Press. MONTE CARLO, May 6.—E. Berry ‘Wall, picturesque society leader re- nowned as the last of the 19th cen- tury dandies, died yesterday after a three-day illness. Mr. Wall, who was 80, was New ‘York born, but had been an ex- patriate for-more than a quarter of a century, dividing his time between Paris, Deauville, Biarritz and the Riviera. His flowing ties, fancy waistcoats, lavender spats and spread-eagle collars had made him one of the most colorful characters of Paris boulevards, where he was accom- panied invariably by a chow dog. Found New York “Impessible.” Mr. Wall was an equally pic- turesque leader of New York society before the turn of the century, but went to live in France after he found New York “impossible” 'be- cause the “good old days” of society ‘were passing. When war broke out Mr. Wall refused to be repatriated and con- tinued his round of French watering places. To the last he wore the dazzling clothing which won him the appel- lation of “the very last ghost of old- school dandies.” Evander Berry Wall was born in 1860 in New York City, where his family had extensive real estate :;)rl:mgs for two generations before Mr. Wall had a brief business ca- reer. Asa young man he opened the first brokerage house in uptown New York, in the old Waldorf-As- toria Hotel, and quickly lost more than $1,500,000 in one of the stock market panics, whereupon he de- cided to retire. Horse racing and breeding were, for a time, his chief activity. He had his own stable, which he raced at what was then Jerome Park, driv- ing a four-in-hand or tandem up Fifth avenue to see his horses run. His breeding farm was in Kentucky. He was active in promoting races at Saratoga and other tracks. As befitted his social leadership, ! he was a member of eight clubs | strung. along Fifth avenue and was one of the prime movers in the formation of the Turf Club. It was about 1912 that Mr. and Mrs. Wall went to France to remain almost continuously thereafter. The Walls were in Europe at the outbreak of the World War, which caught them at Aix-les-Bains. Not until after the war were they able to resume their annual visits to Deauville, Aix-les-Bains, Biarritz and Monte Carlo. Friend of Alfonso. When the German Army was ex- pected to take Paris in September, 1914, the Walls joined the general exodus from the French capital and went to San Sebastian, Spain, where | E.

There they frequently sat in a corri= dor of their hotel with King Nicholas of Montenegro, father of Queen Elena of Italy, until the bombs of air raiders ceased exploding outside. The King of Sweden, the Prince of Monaco, the Aga Khan, the Duke of Connaught and the Duchess of Vendome, sister of Albert, King of the Belgians, were others of Wall's | | royal frien :~¢€ China Makes Appeal For Support of Dollar By the Associated Press.
