Among the rich girls at Newport this

! to be over $l0O,00000. is Miss Virginia
! Fair. whose name has several times been
! coupled with foreign titled personages.
| She is a silver girl, in contradistinction
/ to the Vanderbilt and Gould heiresses,
who are gold girls Miss Fair is a devout
| Catholic. She declares to her friends that
/ she is not yet ready to marry, but when
she does take a husband she assures them
/ 1t is TO be a true, good American, who
! Will make a queen of her, which to her
mind is infinitely better than a Euro

| abroad all winter and received over
| whelming attention and al the coro-
! nation festivities she was invited to func-
1 tons where very few Americans were
/ admitted; but nothing has ever turned
/ her head in the least, and she goes her
! happy giriish way, enjoying her freedom
/ and her great wealth with all her heart
/ She is pretty and plump, and viyacious
! and wise, and dresses with excellent
/ taste. She is the champion of all the bi-

No boubt. says the Spectator, manners
just now appear to be growing rougher
! and ruder. 1t is, however merely con-
| ventiOnal and not real, roughness and
| rudeness, and the reason for it is plain.
The manners of the upper classes in Eng
! land are putting on n veneer of rough
ness, are adopting the use of ''rusLica-
| ton" to employ the architectural phrase,
for the same reason that society is al
/ ways changing, or tending to change, It's
Z place of meeting in the park. That rea-
son is the desire to get away, to keep
| separate from the herd. The smart peo-
i pie gave up being formally polite and
4 making bows and graceful nchhauons
j of assent" when the middle class grew
1 polite and shop boys and shop girls
! adopted the etiquette of the old regime.
/ When the manners OF those below them
| in the social scale became thoroughly po-
adoption of self-conscious roughness.
1t became the right thing to say, May l
| have a dance'2 in Mayfair, because at
! mfddle-class balls a beautiful bow ana q
! formal demand had become the fashion
Society is only apparently unmannery
| because it is trying to Dodge IT'S number
/ followers and arrange a set OF conVen-
| lions which will not be pirated. AS soon
! however. as its retreat is discovered 1t
| will have to find a new device. Then, IN
all probability. we shall see a reaction IN
| favor of Formally, and our young men
and maidens will bow ana SlInper anu

really matter very little. Inc NAM AdCt
is that our manners III eSsentldlS are
