U ' *'/.% %.r . • , The Prince of Wales, for his own amusement, lets people in' whom the better members will not recognize. But they only stay in so long as the prince smiles. Their admission is really but a temporary one, and de­ pendent solely upon the caprice of the prince, whose smile admits them, but whose frown will as quickly expel them. For people--and especially for­ eigners--to imagine, therefore, that because the Prince of Wales takes no­ tice of them, and for his own amuse­ ment gets friends with whom he has influence to invite them to their enter­ tainments, thev achieved the entree into English nigh life--except in a very narrow and ephemeral fashion-- is one of the biggest mistakes which people can make. I know quite well I shall be gainsaid in this. Americans who have come over to London during the season, and gone to some balls and garden parties under the Prince of Wales' wings and patronage, and have been invited to Marlborough house, are, I am quite aware, imbued with the delusion that they have seen and know all about English high life. They have and they have not. They have caught a glimmer of it under the peculiar circumstances of being no­ ticed by the Prince of Wales, who has given tnem a five minutes1 view, as it were, of the sphere of high life in which he is the unquestioned leader, lo the^rt«iw« in whiok they have the opportunity to ta%e ana make ob­ servations, they naturally get but a cramped idea of what actual English high life is as it is in and among the Prince of Wales' set. Beyond that thev positively can know nothing. T*here is an immense part of the society which makes high life which lias virtually nothing to do with the Prince of Wales. Of course, they couldn't and wouldn't refuse to recog­ nize his royal highness and yield him his true position whenever he might choose to appear among them. But it would be more as the neir apparent to the throne, and technical "first gentleman of the kingdom," than as a proper exponent and sample of their customs and manners, that they would' yield him homage and place. It is extremely doubtful, too, if his royal highness could bring the "outsiders" In among them that he does among his own particular happy-go-luck clique. It is extremely doubtful if he would try. He knows better. He is a man of wondrous tact and discrimi­ nation, and he would know as well as anyoner--better, indeed--that the real aristocracy, the real high life of Eng­ land in 'its entiretv and puritv, wouldn't put up with it He can go among them himself, and take who* ever could of right go of themselves with him. But further than that, I take it .fee wouldn't go. In fact, he exhibits a dual character. In his set he is one thing--in high life, quite an­ other. A jolly good fellow, fond of a good joke, a good story, actresses, professional beauties and pretty wom­ en generally, in his set, he becomes, in hign life, whenever he sees fit to enter it, a serious, dignified man, a polished gentleman ungiven to frivolity, and a great stickler for the observance uf everything that of right is due to him as a prince. In view of this, it becomes a serious question whether his notice of Ameri­ cans and introduction of them into his set (as long as they please him) is, after all, such a very high honor as some people are accustomed to regard it, or one in the least desirable for any foreigner to be made the recipient ol. For my own part I doubt it. People get their names into the newspapers, like Miss Chamberlain and Miss Wins- low, and the outside world both at home and abroad fancy they have taken English society by storm. I don't think I am wrong in venturing to say that there are hundreds of Eng­ lish young ladies in high life who coula, without a quarter the effect, have gained double the public noto­ riety for beauty and piquance and vivacity and originality than either Miss Chamberlain or Miss Winslow did, were their mothers to let them; or were it at all in keeping or accord with the traditions of their class to exhibit such "bad form" as to have their names to become the public property which the parents of those young ladies seemed to see no objec­ tion in allowing their daughters to yield. I don't, in the least, mean to insinuate that the graces and charms of the American girls who come to England and capture the Prince of Wales are not all that they are claimed to be, and peculiarily capable of cap­ tivating the head and heart of man wherever they may go, I only say that in my humble opinion the women of no nation hold an exclusive sway in this respect; and, without in the very smallest way wishing or intend­ ing to detract from ell that is lovely ia the American, girl aa site tas of late years appeared assert that in jLionaoft had Engifslt highest sphere and nude bMtt ted the same unlimited fieldtf tion, the same unchecked self assertion, there been the victorious "walk OT< the transatlantic damsele friends and admirers are boasting of on every occai had, in short, a race wi petitor, a battle without an 'atfi In the first place, their adt( had there been any, wookt D allowed the same weapons;; the second, their competlto there been any, wouldn t have' permitted to struggle for svehA'j ward. ^ I hope and trust I shall npt be mis* ||f understood as in the slightest degree.||i implying that Americans are ceived into the highest society of Btt£> ' land, for they are.
