key fails to unlock the sacred portals | unless annointed with the oil of tact. | There must be an institution that l will inform the aspirant of society | here what to avoid and what to as sume, for, unluckily for many who l at the gate of Eden sit disconsolate'' i there seems to be only one way
 Any one who will watch what is called society here knows that it 1 is by no means veni yidi wei with | the majority. Whether the game is worth the can dle is a question of social ethics that is neither here nor there, but certain ly it is one of the strongest ambitions of well-to-do humanity and to many people their possessions are com paratively valueless unless they pro- cure for them fashionable pres ige. It would be well, therefore, for those who, like Monte Cristo, eXclaim, 'sThe world is mine" to realize that anoth- CT bunker" to speak in golfing par lance, looms up before them, that re- quires both skill and good luck to surmount and that a false start may prove fatal to their chances.
 It is very curious that some people may do with perfect impunfty what will ruin others in the estimation of society, and it is one of the social puzzles of the day, why certain peo- pie who are talked about go under, while others, who may have done ex- actly the same thing (and the world knows iD apparently keep their po- sitions. Two women may have been equally foolish, and one is in the swim as much as ever, while Mrs. Grundy stares coldly at the other and declines to continue her acquaintance The business methods of a couple of men may be similar, and their tran sections equally questionable, yet one goes scot free and is even praised for his so-called sharpness while the other is called dishonest and shady" This obvious injustice is a feature of Vanity Fair, whose ediots are all too apt to give to him who hath and to take away from him who hath not, and whose only criterion Of respect ability is success
