LATEST MANIAT-

ennessee Parties Where the Guects

Inhale Cocaine and See Life

Through Rainbow Glasses

New York Sept Pleasurejadeddevilhaunted New York ever insearch of a new sensation dragged upfrom the slums to the regions of lux-ury

¬

a new insidious unlawful fadthe tennessee or cocaine party-

At a tennessee party men andwomen spray their nostrils with a so ¬

lution of cocaine and when the irridescent panorama of exhileration has be ¬

gun swap fashions in thought thatwould make De Quincy read like atramps hardluck story

Tennessee as applied to thesegatherings where cocaine takes theplace of liquor or music comes froman abbreviation used by the habitues i

of the lower tenderloin In the dayswhen crystals of cocaine could bepurchased at any corner drug shopfor the price 10 cents was all thatwas necessary to purchase enough ofthe cocaine cubes to produce a jag I

for even a veteran user The cocainevictims several times a day wouldask for tenofc The expression f-

inally¬

became established along Sev-enth avenue where the mixed nation ¬

alities of that avenue between Twen ¬

tythird street and Fortyfourth streetwere and are the largest users of thedrug It was an easy slip from tenofc to tennessee wind thats howthat good state became so libelled

Once Were Negro Orgies

The first tennessee parties wereheld in that portion of the city known-as the Black and Tan quarter wherewhites and blacks of both sexes com ¬

mingle and where cocaine was themost potent of all the abnormal things-in which they might indulge to forgettheir condition But tennessee par-ties

¬

now are not confined to the Ten-derloin

¬

but have found favor withthat mysterious and amazing NewYork which lives only for sensation

How the drug is used and its effects-are told here in the following account-of a tennessee party held one even ¬

ing last week which was attendedby a newspaper writer

Nice Folks and Perhaps a New Girl-

or TwoCome along to a Tennessee

PartyThe man who extended me the in ¬

vitation is the ranking member of asuccessful grain brokerage house Hisonly worry in life is to find new divertisements that will keep him frombeing bored stiff

Therell be some nice young mar ¬

ried folks and a girl or two for goodcompany Maybe well hear a newstory or two

The demands on a journeyman writ-ers

¬

time are too great to permit ofmuch rainbow chasing and I let crassselfishness take me to the edge ofrudeness in telling him that the onlyTennessee parties I had ever heard ofhappened over among the come sev ¬

en come eleven sportsNot a bit like it said he These

parties come off up in a gentlemansneighborhood and they are always at¬

tended by very clever folksWe entered an apartment that has

as tenants besides the very cleverhostess who gave this particular par ¬

ty the president of a big commercialcompany and a corporation attorney-of national repute in fact it is oneof the nicest of the downtown apart ¬

ment houses as our hostess later re ¬

markedWho the Guests Were

When we arrived it was about 11

oclock in the evening Besides thehostess I met a very vivacious youngwoman who played ingenue parts tillshe began to take on weight a youngman who is a gentlemans son who-is seeking new ways to spend moneywithout it getting into the papersas he expressed it a man who looksafter the International correspondence-of a stock exchange house a verystriking blonde widow who has justtakeriVoff her mourning a fine lookingwoman who buys art objects in for¬

eign markets for New York brokers-a young man who backs theatricalenterprises and the hostess who hasan income from a member in highstanding of the Albany Club all ofthem people of more than ordinaryattainments all well groomed and ev-

ery¬

one of them absolutely indifferent-to the commonplaces of life so far asthey pertain to their getting all thesensation out of life they can

When we arrived refreshments hadbeen going around some time Re-

freshments¬

being the term used bythe hostess in jocularly describing thesolution of cocaine which washanded around in highly decoratedatomizers which the guests took upand used much the same as anyonedoes when they are treating the nasalpassages to an antiseptic bath fornose trouble-

I drew a scat beside the lady whodeals in art objects and the hostessbore down on me with refreshments

Perfumed for Stage Effect

As I got a good whiff of the contents-of the atomizer I noted it had a highlyperfumed odor My companion in ¬

formed me that it was mixed with alittle rose water to help the stageeffect A good strong sniff of therefreshments gave me the impression-

that it was going to be a game formollycoddles and I gave the bulb agood push and took a good long sniff-

In the meantime my sponsor had beentaken in tow by the dashing widowWhen I looked over at him to see howthe blase sensationseeker was getting-on toward the re ¬I saw him bendingfreshments as though he was having-

the time of his lifeAbout this time the party was aug ¬

mented by a young couple whose re ¬

cent marriage was much opposed by

the wealthy parents of the groomRefreshments were offered them

from all sides-I had been sniffing away at the re ¬

freshments which according to ourhostess was only a one per cent solu ¬

tion I noticed as I got up to be intro ¬

duced to the newcomers that my legshad grown and that I felt very tallThis struck me as being odd and Iwondered at it till I noticed that I

izik ttf 41T ffo

wanted to talk about art to the ladywho dealt In art objects and then 1

realized that the refreshments weretaking

I noticed also that the colors in thevery effective portrait of the hostessdone by no less a hand than that ofWilliam Chase which hung on thewall nearby were very irridescent andluminous Just then the vivaciousplump girl came over to where I wasstanding and said with a radiant airIm just crazy about these Tennes-

see¬

partiesMaking Folks Care for Her

Why I askedWell to tell you the truth no one

seems to care for me unless Im ex-

hilarated¬

and wine makes me ill thisstuff makes every one seem so niceand I never feel half so bad the nextday as though I had been drinkingwine and besides it seems good formy complexion which it isnt ofcourse and I always get a chill after ¬

Refreshments Easy to GetHow do you get these refresh ¬

ments I asked the vivacious plumpgirl I thought it was against thelaw to handle it in such quantities asthis

Oh rot said she we get it from-a little Turk who sells cigarettes andcoke and tips on the nice It coststwo whole dollars for enough for aTennessee party Just think a littlepint of wine costs as much

Do you always haveerrefresh j

ments at your parties I askedRefreshments Of course Sure

I

its the popular thing just nowI

In the meantime the refreshmentswere still being passed around and asmy legs had once more assumed their j

I normal length I made only a bluff at I

a sniffAt this stage of the proceedings the

ladywhodealtinartobjects startedto sing imitating Harry Lauder very

I

wellIts a funny thing said the plump

girl she cant sing a note when shehasnt had refreshments

Looking Worse for WearI

I

By this time the eyes of the partyI were assuming the bloodshot lookSeveral of them were standing aside

I with their arms chummily aroundeach other and the hostess was laugh ¬

ingly trying to disengage the arms ofthe gentlemans son from around her I

neck The lady in art objects was re ¬

clining on the couch in a jaded man-ner

¬

after her songsThe young married couple were

dancing a number done of IsadoraDuncan and the hostess remarked

I

that the stirrup cup of refreshmentswas about to be passed along Everyorte took a long sniff from the atom ¬

izers and the vivacious plump girlloudly announced that the gentle ¬

mans son had promised to take herhone in a cab
