ROGERS. A social Dagdad. a city of and glamour, a city In which only kings, and dukes, and princes and barons should consort with the blue-blooded gentility of democratic America, a city in which all should be aristocrats and none plebeians, has fallen, shattered and broken, into the dull mustiness of the bankruptcy court. The news from Florida last week thut Floranada had crashed was no common nova.

But the dream has gone. America is pot likely to see tilt entirely social that was projected there. Somehow. New York's social register wasn't called on by the makers of this dream.

I do not believe that public interest has materially changed during the last few years in respect to after-dinner speaking. 2. I know that the old-time view was that liquor was necessary to stimulate the speaker, and that in the absence of liquor the speaker is not apt to be at his best. I personally regard this as nothing but bunk. My observation is that however happy liquor may make those who indulge in it, it does not improve them as speakers.

The radio has very largely widened the field of after-dinner speaking wherever the speaker is a man of much distinction and the celebration Is of more than usual importance. 8. A speaker is Justified in occupying only so much time as the JLLJL foot. Return to Mr. jacasou Cafe.

Each did for more than $200,000. Then the dream picture began to fade. Things went from bad to worse, and nothing could be done. Emergency plans to let in a few persons not quite so blue blooded as the rest didn't work out. It became apparent that the bankrupt-c courts alone remained, and so the American-British Corporation, which was Floranada went into the discard.

Why It Failed. Social and business New York Is still asking why? Although it seems apparent that the dream was not practical to the extent they thought it was, still the social leaders who sponsored it believe that some such colony is desirable and possible. But social prestige Is a dangerous thing to play with. As a man who was slightly interested in Floranada his reasons wevre purely business said in New York last week.
