Even at that late dafe the English people had not quite grown accustom- ed to beihg startled by the high jinks of society. Aristoeratic house parties hat not then taken to playing "Raf flex," and '"burglarizing" for the sport the homes of neighbors in the dead of night. "Wharever she goes," the scemingly astonished writer went on, "Lady Constance now carries with her a pet snake--& tiny creature, to be gure, but still a snake. "This uncanny familiar she lodges in the bodice of her dress. and upon oec- casion plays with it, much as the av- erage whman toys with her rings, her fob or a jewelled buckle.
