He had In his hand a supposed "ex pose" of the night life of Philadelphia society, which appeared In a New Yerk paper yesterday. It told of drinking nnd daring danc ing In "clubs" which the city's elite, both young and old, arc supposed te patronize. Mr. Mackridgc read para graphs here and there from the article. "It impresses me as being a malicious lie, n grotesque, exaggeration," he said, and there was applause. "This writer." said Mr. Meckridfc. "and, I nm sorry for any one making a living in such a fay, speaks of fifteen country clubs about the city where the prohibition lavv, is Ignored and tells of mothers sponsoring clubs where their daughters dance and drink. "New ' suppose that this were true, nnd I don't believe it is, what n mis take te judge a city's morality by the actions of a few. "Give each of these fifteen clubs 1000 members. That would make 15,000 persons who lived the life this writer says they live. "And oppescd'to them would he 100 times that number who live decent lives.
