Society, that portion Of it which has
nothing to do, is as quick to follow the
stage in one direction as in the other.

wonderful success of such work.
Perhaps there aren't half a dozen big
houses in Newport where there isn't
some likelihood Of living pictures
being seen this summer, for charity or

always be private, like everything else

that it was doubtful if his real motives
