STUDIES IN SOCIAL LIFE.
The Individual who Continually
Struggles for Prominence.

There is a large class of well-known per-
sons, generally floating class, which ma Y
be designated by the name of the ''sboddy
smart" people, who constitute the frayed or
ragged edge of fashionable society, sa Us the
New York Tribune. just what this shod-
diness, which is altogether different from
shabhiness. consists in IL is difficult to say.
The individuals composing this set are
generally 10 be met at all large fashion
able functions. Their names are in the
social directory and are often mentioned
in the newspapers. Both men and women
dress extremely well.
They are very up-to-date, are apt to
be sporty. and in a way are recognized
by the really smart people: enough SO, at
all events, to impress outsiders with a
respect for their position. All this they
utilize to the fullest extent, talking of the
people in such way as TO lead new ac-
quaintances to suppose that they are on
intimate terms with 1.-The hundred and
fifty" and are, therefore, tn emselves
very desirable people to know.
Why, then, are they shoddy? il might be
asked. Well, in the first place, they are
generally impecunious, and although pow
erty is no crime in the eyes of the law,
1t is, more or less, in social ethics. That
Is to say, it is like skating on thin ice
to skim over gulf of debts and diff
culties in which az any moment the luck
less "shoddy smart individual, who is
apparently skimming SO gayly over the sur
face, may be overwhelmed This keeping
up of appearances the world does not easily
forgive.
Another class that is "shoddy smart are
those who have money and who desire to be
fashionable, but who, somehow, have not
had discretion or tact in choosing their as
sociatcs. These accept the pinchbeck claims
of the aforementioned division n pure gold,
while the latter, in their turn finding the
opera boxes and dinners of their new friends
most convenient, are delighted to become
intimate with them. Cf-devant ashionables
too, with regulations more or less the worse,
for wear in various ways, are apt to drift
into this debatable land and become its
deniZens
IL is funny sometimes TO see the way good,
respectable, quiet people are taken in by
thesepseudo- smart folks, believing that they
are everything that is fashionable and de-
sirable. In the summer these DAVIS with
peacock pluma ge often drift into quiet neigh
borboods, where, by right of their apparent
familiarity with the notabilities OF the great
world, they become for the time being. auto
Gratis of fashion, enjoying the cakes and ale
of existence, as typified in the hospitable
entertainments given in their honor,
And. departing, leave behind them,
Footprints on the sands of time''
in the shape of sundry bills and unpleasant
rumors from afar.
