Prof. Beggs of ST. Paul has received a
letter from former preceptor OF ms, now
IN England giving description OF some OIL
Ihe formalities in court life in England.
The following are extracts from the letter:
The first presentation is generally the
formal debut of a fashionable stife. Inc
members of the nobility anu gentry always
manage to get their daughters presented
and it is regarded as a patentot social rank
by the latter. What on this earthly sphere
is more enchantingly exclusive than ner
maiesty's court? The impression made by
the debutante is a lasting one IN England,
and consequently art is brought to bear.
The courtesies. the walk, the extending OF
the arm for the train, and each phySlcal
movement. are practiced repeatedly before
some competent teacher OF department,
who charges well for the lessons.
But money is no object to the arlstocracy
of England when it comes to presentation
lessons. The debutante must be perfect IN
every movement. These teachers are all
patroniZed by the nobility who desire LOT
their daughters the exalted appellatlon OF
ssbelle of the London season. zone false step
a announcement of the train, little
nervousness. and the whole thing Is a fail-
ure. Before the young lady has made any
progress in her majesty's throne room, she
feels her failure, and her disappointment
is made manifest by her ungraceful eour-
tesies; she moves too quickly, she torgets
to extend her arm for her train; she
backs accidentally against the diplomatic
corps of the household; she passes into the
green drawing room. into the vestibule and
down the grand staircase too quickly, not
noticing the elegant statues, life size, OF
the queen and late prince. The queen APP

She passes through the grand entrance and

and disappointment.

ton grace, her step one OF

queen by General the Marquis of Hartford,

pleasing TO UMes. A..ayers.

Col Isaac H. Trabue of Louisville, KY,
has laid off a town on the south side OF
Charlotte Harbor, Manatee county, Fla,
which he calls Trebue City, and for whose
future he has glowing hopes. There he in
tends to spend his winters. Now the colonel
is a great chess player, and for the purpose
of having company at Trabue City during
the winter he has endowed an annual chess
tournament to be held at that place, COM
mencing on the second Monday in Decem-
Der in each year and lasting about a week.
Talking of this to a reporter Of the Louis
vile Commercial, the colonel says:
1.-TWO prizes, consisting OF gold medals,
will be given to winners in the tournament,
and in addition to the medal, the winner of
the first prize will receive two-thirds of the
profits of a pineapple crop gathered from a
four-acre orchard, and the winner of the
second prize will receive the other third"
''What will be the value Of the crOp?'
s'About two or three thousand dollars. "
''What will the entrance fee to the tour
nament be?''
.'Notning, and chess-players from all
parts of the world will be invited to take
part, except lawyers who compromise cases
with their antagonists clients without their
antagonists consent"
''Why do you bar out such lawyers as
that?''
Because don't want them to come
near me. l despise a lawyer of that kind.
and the less dealing he has with me the
more agreeable it is to us both. :"

on her own resources. The room is filled
with distinguished people, and she is either
conspicuous by her grace or by the absence
OF it. People are too apt to think too
lightly of court presentations, but in mo-
narchical countries it is the highest social
honor attainable. What could convey more
feeling, more respect OF more dignity than
a graceful courtesy to her majesty, the high
est lady socially in the world? A court
courtesy is supposed to represent three
things. viz: great respect, humility, dignity.
The shortest train allowed is twelve feet,

peep she would be all right-but no. The
card is carried in the left hand; the right
hand is left ungloved The card is handed
to the lord chamberlain, who merely reads
the name to the queen. The debutante
proceeds respectfully until in front of the
queen, when she makes the court courtesy,
bending the head slightly. The queen of

with the back of hers. Releasing the august
fingers she proceeds to the Princess of Wales
(the dear little body, as every body calls
her)-courtesies to her royal highness; then
to Princess Alice; then to Princess Louise;
then to the Princess Beatrice; then to the
Prince of Wales, making the court courtesy
to each one. Just as she rises she extends
her left arm and the pages throw her train
over it. She backs out of the presence of
royalty into the green room and then down
stairs into her carriage for home. She is
then ready for eligible proposals of marriage.
The throne room is about 40x60 feet and the
queen stands twelve feet from the door.
American gentlemen wear regulation
dress, but the American minister is dressed
in American evening dress; which is quite
conspicuous by its plainness.
