AMERICANS ABROAD.
How They Get Into London Society"
by Means Of Business Plan.
From London Truth

ny mBbnB OF q BUSINESS Elau.
From London Truth.
Company and loan mongers seem to have
been more bitten here with q desire to buy
their way into society by judicious gifts
than to plant their wares in the West End.
And in this they have had to compete with
many of the Americans who have estab-
ltshed themselves here. The English as
pirant for social recognition used, when
these companies were being hoated every
day by means Of a fictitious premium, to
make things agreeable to his West End
friends by giving them check, the result,
he said, OF an allotment of shares and their
sale at premium. For this the allottee
was expected to give him a helping hand
up the social ladder.
The Americans who we're competing for
social recognition met this by giving costly
Jewelry or by a check. But the funniest
part OF this society business is the system
OF some lady agreeing for consideration
In meal or in malt TO secure guests for
ball or reception.
An amusing story, which believe was
true, was told two or three years ago about
one OF these arrangements. A lad-very
rich-had taken q large house Ia the West
End, and entered into the usual bargain
with caterer of guests. At her first re-
ception she had invited a considerable num-
Der of her own friel ds. The caterer on this
protested, as her friends, she said, could
hardly be expected 20 meet number Of
quite third-rate peopls.n
y On this it was agreed that the lady should
only be allowed to ask ten. OF her own
friends TO each OF her future receptions.
The wonder is that any one cares TO give a
ball OF reception under such conditions: all
the more as IL is fully understood that the
invitation involves no reciprocity, or, in
deed. any further acquaintance with the
hostess. When the entertainment is a ball,
the caterer applies 20 one or two of the pro-
viders OF dancing men, each OF whom has
his list, and to each on the list an invitation
is sent The supper is considered an ade-
quate recognition Of the services of the
dancing men, but suppose that their pro-
wider gets something more.

Dressmakers Give Gowns to Actresses
Free, as Advertisements.
From Music and Drama.
As the number of society plays increased
as the questions of toilet gained in impor-
and tance ,dress makers began to use the stage
as a method Of advertisement. This new
arrangement had its drawbacks as we'll as
its advantages OF course it was of i'm
mense advantage to the house providing
the toilets for a new play to have its name
mentioned in the papers, and the actresses
we're glad enough to obtain the clothes at
such reduced rates on this understanding.
Still, it often led to difficulties, and one
particular instance has just come before the
public, which does not show up the system
IN its best hight.
famous dressmaker who had made a
name, particularly as purveyor OF stage
toilets, came 10 grief few months ago aud
was obliged TO give up the management Of
her house Of business. Her landlord, who
was her chief creditor, forthwith sued Mile.
blocne-an ex-dancer-for a bill Of 4z4O,
Ior various costumes provided by the cos
tuner in question. The affair came before
tle courts and it was proved by the evil
dence that the articles had been delivered
On the understanding that no payment was
required for them.
One Of the actresses of the Francois ap-
peared as a witness and declared that she
mad been pestered with offers from this par
ocular house, and that after having refused
10 be dressed free Of charge she had ar
ranged to pay "a each for all gowns sup
pied Of whatever sort, adding that as they
uld not, as rule, meet with her approba-
tion, she had finally declined TO treat on any
terms. chief assistant also made some
curious revelations, from which it appeared
mat ladies, as we'll as actresses, were wont
10 accept dresses for which they paid moth
Ing In turn for the introduction of profta-
pie customers. The verdict was against the
landlord.
