Live snakes as guests of honor, pri- vate and professional dancing In fancy) dreas, and the ballroom at the Cafe} Martin decorated as only wealth and/ originality could devise, with Amy} Crocker, now Mrs. Jackson Gouraud, | s hostess, And the time was last eve-| ning, the close of the Sabbath In New York. | Why, It would give even Paris a thrill, and as Mrs. Gouraud goes permanently | to the gay centre soon, she was trying out a bit of Parisian design with a little) embroidery of the glad life of Bohemian | New York. | About everything pretty from every | clime was represented, Jackson Gour- | aud was In the gorzeous robes of the Kaimur of Ghosh, while his wife was resplendent In green and gold, with the jade ornamentation of an Eevptian queen, a pearl necklace adding to the/ stunning effect, e did not really mean to dignity the snakes, but what would you?

The snake explained, as only snakes can, that he had forgotten his vanity box containing all his money, and the Miss E vety ba him ft wi he didn't need money to get him ov! ja difficulty, That remark was the nalve of the evening.

Made Mra. Gouraud Peevish. Now, after this Introduction, can you understand why Mrs. Gouraud was so peevish about giving out information? The snakes admitted they had nothing | on her or anybody else; that, in fact, | every place where they earned good ;money was a Garden of Eden to them, and never in all thelr footlight career won, |had they heard women complain about anything, and certainly nothing abour | being tempted.
