That there are occasional exceptions to this
rule is t1ue as it is Of all other things, and es-
pecial]y is it go

Whether the heated term, in relaxing the sys-
TEN, also me1ts ones dignity, and produces
oertain fusion Of opposing elements, is ques-
.tion that might prove fruitful one for suburb
an debating societies, who generally discuss
subjects that they know the least about At all
events, hops at Newport and Saratoga are quite
possible to Madame Hautrton and her daughters,
even if Mrs. TammAuy and Mobnier, being able
to pay their s5 day, fee the walters and write
foreign names on q little card at breakfast and
dinner, are also present. It is here that Chica-

poses to effect this grand result, that it will be

While ceptain ine1plicable something defines
social limits, the fair dame OF Chicago feels that
ehe may hail With eagarneBs such balls as are
given here, especially such one as is at present
under consideration, without derogatlng from
hez position, Or losing her inherent dignity. To
this she may welcome whom she pleases, whether
foreign pote0tate or one whom she wishes to
honor among her count1ymen, with the aesur-
ance that neither Madame Haut-ton's private
bal-dansante at De1monico's, nor the grand hop
OF the scason at any Of the renowned watering
places, shall eclipse it in elegance.
