English Rank and Position.

Much misapprehensiOn exists i'm the
minds of even cultivated Americans IA
To social status in England, and an cN-
aggerated estimate is apt to be attached
10y them TO titular rank. The truth is
That rank does not go for very much in
g England of to-day unless conioincd
with good deal besides. People may
have rank without position, and very
high position without rank, whereas
many Americans are apt TO suppose that
lord or lady always occupies a position
vastly superior TO that of the untitled
\ strong case in illustration is afforded
10y the well-known Countess Frances
Waidegrave, now at the pinnacle OF Lon
don society. That lady, daughter of the
famous Braham, the champion sorgster
OF our grandfathers' DAYS, first married
Mr. Naluegrave, a natural son of the
Earl of that ilk Mr.. Waldegrave in
herited nearly all of his fathers fortune.
aud bequeathed II To his wife She mar
rled secondly, Earl Waldegrave, her
hrst husbands brother, and thus added
rank to wealth. Yet, although extraor-
dnarily attractive, inasmuch as neither
OF her husbands were men looked up TO
by their fellows, she lacked that subtitle
consummation of social life known as
position, until she married Mr.. Gran
vile Vernon -Harcourt, who, albeit only
an Esquire, had social position IA good
as any EarIs. There are numbers of
English gentlemen whose position could
not be improved by elevation To the
House OF Lords Such, for example. as
Mr.. Talbot, member of Parliament for
tilamorganshire, for over forty years
ord Lieutenant of the county oyvnor oC
TWO prlncely homes and of an income of
S35),0d0. Mr.. Talbot refused a barony.
and his father an earldOm. Yet Mr..
lal6od, would, at n dinner-party, have to
so down to dinner after the penniless
younger son of the poorest Irish baron,
Just as, until some years ago, Lady Bur
dette-Couts would have had to give the
pas TO the wife of n country Mayor,
whom the Queen had knighted in honor
OF a visit to his town. To American
ladies especially, this idea of following
IN somebody's wake seems terribly hui
initiating and they fail to comprehend
how entirely precedence is mere matter
oil form and in no wise fixes the position
a man or woman really occupies. The
very best blood is found in the untitled
aristocracy, who, as a German Prince
visiting England remarked, would rank
az noble in any other country. In n
large number of in,tances thew represent
the senior branch of families represented
in the peerage by cadet of the house.
Thus Lord LyttOn and his Younger
brother, Lord Dalling, died peers of the
realm, while their eldest brother, who
Inherited the paternal acres, died un-
titled.
