"ARIsToCRATIC BRACERs."
Tipping INDUCED In to an Alarming Elk.
tent by English Women.

AlppIn& 1nOulgeO IN TO an Alarming EX-
tent by English Women.
/. A sharp and probably salutary check has been
given to the highest social circles in England
by the startling exposures in regard to the prev
alence of drunkenness among aristocratic ladies
made by Lady Frederick Cavendish and the
Duchess of Bedford at the church congress.
Hitherto allegations Of widespread drinking
practices among women of rank and fashion
have been deemed prejudiced gossip, but
nothing that rumor ever suggested equals the
outspoken revelations made by these highly
placed leaders of society. Lady Frederick Cav
endish said that she had been recently staying
at a country mansion where roomy dining room
chairs were still used. the seats of which were
deeply curved, to save the gentlemen from fall
ing out after dinner; that although heavy drink
ing had been abandoned by the men, the women
were becoming inveterate tipplers; that many
ladies have recourse to 'pick-me-ups" at IL
am, brandy and soda during the day, wine at
dinner and some hot drink at bedtime.
She said she knew young lady who could
not get through the exe-tion Of a London sea-
son without taking "cordial," pretty name
for . dram, kept handy at tea, and that after a
certain morning concert lady beside her had
called for "white cup" deceptive name for
q champagne cup.
Lady Cavendish protested especially against
the new fashion Of young ladies, and old ones,
too, accompanying gentlemen to the smoking
room after dinner and sharing not only the
cigars, but also the spirits. She said that dis
tinguished physician had assured her that many
ladies who were leading idle lives had con-
suited him for nervous symptoms which re-
vealed, in perfect Inconsistencies on their
part, Q condition Of alcoholism bordering on
delirium tremens, but that alcohol was not the
only fashionable failing, as choral, chlorodyne
and morphia were taken in secrecy in boudoirs
and were adding to the maladies Of modern
life.
The Duchess Of Bedford taking MP the
theme, put the blame for these evils on the
strainlng Of nerve power, through the supposed
exigent demands Of society, until the nerves re-
quired q fllip. The argument of the necessity
Of stimulation, she said, afforded but the very
slightest protection against temptation
The real remedies were avoidance Of mis-
chievous- forms Of excitement, together with
total abstinence. The duchess maintained that
moderation" was a very elastic term and would
not meet the evils like abstinence It was a
serious thing, she said, for Christian workers
pledged to fight the drinking practices of
society to reject the practice of abstinence, and
she bosought everybody interested to avoid the
banter and jesting too commonly used in refer
ence to the/greatest evil Of modern life.
Tho wife Of Archbishop Benson, Sir William
Hershell, the dean Of Rochester and others con-
tinued in q similar strain. The whole topic il
deeply stirring the social elite.
