A BRILLIANT AFFAIR.

Mrs. Crawford's Spicy Survey of an
Aristocratic Party.
Mrs. era wfOrd, London Truths famous
Paris correspondent, writes so spicily con-
corning one af the chief social events of the
Paris season that one, perfOrce, must copy
what she says. Her topic in Truth is the
May party at the British Embassy in Paris.
She says:
Three or four hundred persons were asked.
The pretentious and empty headed nobility
of the Faubourg st. Germain were not bid.
den. You have no idea of the solemn dull
ness of that hybrid caste. The men, hay
ing sold titles enormously dear to all sorts
of mushrooms or fungus ladies, look down
upon the untitled, and are as cOnceited as
they are branleSs. AS buyers, at fearfully
high prices, Of the cOrODets that figure on
their body linen, the fungus danes fancy
that the world was created merely to afford
nice time to gilded arIstocracy.
They are not more snObbiSh, / dare say,
than those official ladies' who make point
in ministerial drawinG-roomS of getting
into semi-circle of gided armchars and
sitting there the whole evening like images
upon an altar, with the trains of their
dresses arranged in an artfully managed
drapery If it is the duty of the host to
show them to the armchairs in the circle
it no less deyOlveS upon them to get away
and mix with the general company for TWO
or three good reasons. They are en- repub-
lique. all true SOciablitY must be based on
equality, and there is no more snobbiSh
thing than to go on keeping upDermOSt seats
whole evening unless at banquetS, where
it is impossible to circulate
But where was L? At the British En-
bassy. The hostess was in white satin of
a creamy tinge and tres accueilante Her
daughters have her figure, they being tall
and 1.-THE. Lady Betty BalfOur WDre a lilac
satin bali dress unUrinmed, save with
deep frill Of real lace round the cOrsage.
She had small cOr0net round the Greek
twist of hair high up on the back of her
head. She had a stately but not In the least
naughty air. There is beauty in statelineSs,
whereas haughtlness calls out desire in
those toward whom it is displayed TO pull it
down a peg. Is there anything more anus
ing (fguratiyely speaking than taking pot
shots at naughty human beings? Lady
Constance was in youthful arrangement
OF pink sllk-muslin, and might have gone TO
a fancy ball as freshly blown rose queen.
Mrs. PulitZer's necklace, formed of seven
closely set rows OF diamonds, was one blaze
of light. It's irdescence would have thrown
any less beautiful weaTer into the shade.
But with her rich bloom, dark eyes, ami
mated physiOgnomY, ELECTROMAGNETIC and
tall, fine figure, she trumphe over the
rivalry of her diamonds, and one looked
more at her than at them. Her dress was
rich and extremely simple, it being of white
brocade made en- princesse and frilled round
the c0rsage with deep point lace.
Nine. FIOquet, the most gracious and
gracefully clever FrenchwOman alive, was
in white aud silver. A II the dresses of rich
stutfs, such as thick silks, satins or brocades,
were very simply made. They nodded the
gable, were slightly raised, just to suggest
paniers at the hips, and fell behind in long
and ample folds.

''tell the boys 20 come in" but before the
request could be complied with two little,
WORKOUT tots stumbled into the door, one
of them exclaiming that he was "'fTaid Of

demented and objected to him remaining
there, so AlbTacht called his boys and they
