Lady Slacton who is just now in great good looks brought her pretty girls who at tracted much attentior Mrs. Smith and her daughter were also pre sent Upon analysis we discover that tho adjectives y attuned to the position of ladies to hich they refer. They form, so to ak, a descending scale of admiration in which the description varies with the rank I'hat a duchess or the near rela tion of so exalted a lady should re ceive a more prominent notice than a mere plebeian is quite in accord with etiquette of Debrett Tha Times an the British constitutior generally. Even an Anarchist might hesitate to quarrc with the writer upon so obvious a poi Yet the fact that Miss. Smith is a real beauty, a graceful, stately Ing lish maiden, while the Lady Magnolia is a snub-nosed little vixen who pow- ders her nose between the dances and is not wholly innocent of rouge, causes, not unreasonably, a sense of irritation against the social para graph that so confounds them In the days when social journals were not read so extens by the working sses, when, in fact, they did not exist at all, the bucks of the day chose the belles of the season for the merit of tI faces. A reign- ing toast was n a lady of title; she might even be a person wholly unconnected with the pecrage This is a sad thought; but our an- cestors, in the days when Park lane was a muddy road a the Riviera unexplored, when g moors were inhabited by wild per with dirks and yachts went buccaneering in the West Indies, werd after all, very un- civilized f to be regarded with pity rather than with reprobation When is a girl n , girl? I'here we find another of these modern rid dles which will agitate the mind of the conscientious enquirer after truth who stalks the ballrooms like a social Diogenes On hearing that Lady Blunder- boré bropght her pretty girl from Park lane to Lady DBlank's magnifi- cent receptior k Ww be- surprised o discover that the lady in question is a demure spinster who may . ride in the front rank with the Quorn of Pytchley, but has left her teens, and the manners and appearance as- sociated with that entrancing age, a good 12 years behind her Now and again--for the stock ex- change is a disconcerting element-- the social paragraphist will perform a little miracle all by himself For example, Mr. Binger springs to gold- en heights in the world of finance; removes orders Binger Mayfair and diamonds henceforth is world as was taste- more promptly quiet Mrs from Brixton to dresses in street in Regent street known to the admiring "lovely Mrs. Binger, who fully gowned in LJ not than a quarter-column of description The gowns of the good lady have improved in those essentials that vary a five from a fifty-guinea frock. But surely her face remains her own, and no one in Brixton regarded it as anything out of the common when she went shopping to the butcher's. The photograph fraud is another and quite common method of estab- lishing a social beauty and deceiving the public. A woman is as old as she looks--that is an ancient pro- verb; but a beauty is always older than her photograph. There is no ne- cessity to blame her If at five-and twenty she made a charming pic- ture, can we he surprised if ten years later she avoids risking a fur- ther experiment? Yet the comparison between the photograph and - the original will astonish the uninitiat- ed, just as homely Anne of Cleves startled the expectant gaze of Henry VIII. This may be an ungallant criti- cism, better suited to the despondent Jond and pen of Mr. Crosland.
