The English Drawing Room" Costume

London is agitating the question of
holding the Queens drawing rooms in
the evening instead of in the afternoon,

the opinions of various correspondents.

rooms at night would indeed be n boon.

TO witness the victims of etiquette in the
prescribed deshabille.
.'The good nature of the crowd Is
dwelt ON with the airy good nature of
people who are not the objects of the

dress is disconcerting, If not positively
unbecoming by daylight to all but q
favored few. And in place of being ex-
posed TO the observation and criticisms

conventions of our own circle. we have
