POLICE OF —_—_——— Inspector Harley and a Patrolman Were There to Keep Society Women from Acting as Bar- maids. Woman’s:Christian Tem. perance Union Insisted that Female Bartend- ers at Sherry’s Would Violate Law Just the Same as the Low Dives. Mrs, Langtry’s musical tea at Sherry’s had just begun this afternoon, when two unwelcome visitors arrived. They were the police. Their mission was not @ charitable one. The concert-room was a falry-like scene, amid which hundreds of soft lights glowed and palms waved their graceful fronds, There were flowers in abundance and pretty women, as fair as the flowers, Mrs. Astor, the soctal arbiler of New York, set her seal upon the affair. foclety and the stage commingled for the: time being in the name of charity, And fair actresses and fashionable wom- @n were willing to become “barmaids” under the Earl of Yarmouth and sell fancy drinks—which were neither toa wor coffee—at fancy prices. SOCIETY “BARMAIDS.” Just imagine Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish as @ “barmaid!” It shows what a conces- sion the geod Iadics were wiiling to make for a worthy cause. Then there were Mrs, Ogden Mills, Miss Gretna Pomeroy, Mrs, Robert Osborne and Mra, Edmund Baylies and many others in the ber department, And it was just because of these that the police had invaded the place. They were instructd to seo that no women @old liquor, for that is a violation of the Jaw. Darmaids are illegal persons. Inspector Harley and a detective had Deen detatied by Chief of Police Devery to see that the law was not violated. ‘He was impelied to this action by the ‘Woman's Christian Temperance Union, which: urged him to stop what they considered a degrading spectacle. They inelosed him this resolution, adopted at a special meeting to consider the ‘tea party upon which society had placed fits goiden 0.

Shortly after noon Mrs. Ella Boole called at Pollce Headquarters herseif and was told by Chief Devery that he had given instructions to Inspector Har- ey to watch Bherry's and prevent any violation of the law. Mrs. Boole went eway satis: Meanwhile Inspector Harley had ar- 4ved at Sherry's and caused a flutter when he made his mission known, te was assured there would be no violation of the law, and that the ladles would only serve tea and other mild @rinks, while the Earl of Yarmouth's Gentlemen assistants, Guy Standing, Mr, ‘Wheelock, Harry Woodruff and Mr. Bey mour, would be reinforced by other @o0d-looking men from society and the Blage. Inspector Harley had nothing to do, and a great many persons who arrived later did not even know that he was there, But he nevertheless was watch-|® ful to ree that the law was not violated. In order to be absolutely sure he had Detective Sergeant McAuley, who was | / fm a dress ult, stationed at the bar. Mr. McAuley looked as though he didn’t relish the job. No one, however, mis- took him for a “matinee idol.” MRS. LANGTRY WORN.
