The gayety at dinner sometimes rises into

years ago | was dining with n young carl.
The party was composed exclusively of men,
all of high rank, friends and associates Of
ROYALTY. members of the Marlborough club,
where at that time you were expected always
TO he in evening dress after 5 o'clock, as you
might meet the Prince of Wales. The house
was a Scotch one. and after we rose the piper
was brought in. He had already passed three
times around the table during dinner PLAYING
his bagpipes but now it was proposed to have
a dance. and two young nOhlemen were pittcd
against each other in a Highland fling. The
rivals took off their coats and waistcoats and
their evening shoes, and began capering with
all the fervor of the stage ITishman-leapinG,
brandishing their arms, whooping and shout
ing like Florence or Barney Williams in a
favorite role The others joined i'll, or took
their turn, while the screech of the bagpipe
accompanied and excited the performers
Once or twice the young host came to me in
the corner where sat watching this extraor-
binary scene in a London drawing room and
asked me if l thought they were savaCcs
But was delighted to study the manners Of
the inhabitants, and begged them to go on
And they did
At the center of the long room the young
aristocrats now heaped up in a mass all the
movable furniture, sofas, ottomans and
chairs. Then nearly every man of the com
pauy in turn started from the head of the
room to leap over the Pile. Some stumbled,
one or two fell, but most Of them cleared the
barrier. No one was hurt, but clothes were
torn, trousers burst, and every noble acrobat
was bathed i'll perspiration. The sport was
kept up till nearly midnight. and then it was
time to dress again, for they were all going
TO a ball at the Duchess of BucCleughS. :.
So the party broke up, and an hour or two
later met them again, renewed in appear
ance and attire, and as subdued i'll man
ner as the ordinary undemonstrative English
man.
These young fellows had not drank any
great quantity of wine; their exhilaration
was simply natural spirit, the result of high
health, youth and intimate company, and a
feeling that whatever they did, their doing it
made it appropriate. They were a rollicking
set, but there was no vulgarity in their mirth,
no coarseness even in their boisterousuess.
