The Way the Money Goes.
A young American, the son of a millionaire residing in Paris, has discovered another way in which money may be spent. A few nights ago he gave a dinner to 22 of his friends, each of whom was supplied by the host with a private corpe and pair to drive to the place of meeting and Imck. The dining room was decor* ated with flowers out of season, and luminous fountains played upon large rocks of ice kept the air cool. The dinner, or rather gorge, showed splendid disregard of cost. Each gnest bad before him a whole leg of mutton, a whole salmon, a truffled fowl, a basket of peaches, and a double magnum of champagne, besides bottles of fine wines. At dessert a bag was passed round, from which each guest was asked to draw a keepsake, consisting of emerald links, pearl studs, and cigarette oases in gold inlaid with jewels.
