? tlio world of fashion from trade and from
"the city," as the business part of the town

quite recent, too. I am a native, of Jfew

he merchants, doctors, broker*, Wall street
it operators, and even tlio heruls of great retail
ix shops found their vocations no bar to social
11, recognition. Not so now. Against them nil
the protesting hand is raised. The banker is
ijr recognized, but not the broker. A few years
ce ag<? the jolly, free, lively, richly dressed and
lo spendthrift broker was considered no end of a
ho good fellow. Kow he is looked on as a vulgar
co and noisy man who conducts gambling operaijj
tions for clients an?l drinks champagne over
of a bar. The doctor receives money from
jk society. Hence he is as much society's servant
?r as the drygoods merchant, and neither can Ikj
reganleil as un equal. In a word, society in
New York to-day is a power that makes its
own laws and draws them more severely
