and it was q bc8we woman indeed who
dared to present herself too frequently in

the great majority Of folks seem to be With
them. The little Queen of Siam could give
her sex q few pointers>on boomers as that
lady. while she has adopted such parts of
European dress as suits her fancy. still
holds by the distnctikely native style of
Turkish trousers. These Siamese draperies
are regular knickerbockers, made of soft
silks, and are worn by the patrician ladies
of that land. The queen. who has an indie
pendent turn of mind. probably wears the
trousers because she likes them best, but
her little feet are incased in pretty slippers
with high French heels, and her bodice Is
made on the easy, comfortable lines of the
regulation dressing sacque. Her sons have
recently gone to England to complete their
education. They already wear the correct
European dress and will hardly see az oddly

they return to her again.
An Independent young woman Of means,
who has done the customary round Of for

else where Americans are likely to be
found, went abroad lately bent on an en-
tfrely direrent way of spending her leisure.

to see Vanity Fair as PARTICIPANT and her
English hostess. who had an excellent posi-
ton in its charmed precincts, was quite
willing to show 1t to her and at the same
to her means. which would otherwise be
limited. In this particular case references
were exchanged in the most matter-of fact
and busiress-like style, and the English
chaperon fulfilled her part of the obIiga-
ton just the same way. 1t is not en-
t!re1y a new industry among English ladies'

scheme Nowadays. however. these cher

advertised for. just the same as are needed
clients in any other profession or business
and the results seem to be Just as sattsfac-
