VERY MUCH MIXED SOCIETY.

Gentlemanly burglar q welcome
Visitor In English society.
There has been some complaint in
aristocratic circles in England that in
great country houses there is now
found much mixed society
This has. however. always been the
case. \ well-known actor passed thre,
days at an historical mansion without
knowing either host or hostess: r.
knew that the marquis and his wife did
not speak te one another. and that each
would think he was the guest of thu
other.
All records of the kind have beer
surpassed by what has recently taken
place in France. A fascinating person
has been recently making round ot
visits at certain chateaux. He was
well known in society," which means
that he was gladly received in it. though
nobody knew anything about him.
He lived, when not in town among
his friends, in very luxurious fash
ion. But all that he seems to have pos
sessed of his own was set of scientific.
instruments of burglary. In his pos
session was also found portfolio with
plans of the interior arrangements of
the houses at which he had been stop
ping.
One can imagine a polished foryer.
Fauntleroy was most accomplished
person. and gave excellent dinners.
When he was under sentence of death
he was called on by one OF his noble
friends. who said: Since you are go
ing to leave us perhaps YOU will now
tell me where you get that green cu-
raeoa from:" bat polished burglar is
quite a novelty.
Conceive his thoughts while he is saw
ing soft rothings to the lady he took
in to dinner. How he must have eyed
her jewelry. and wondered where she
kept it. What nights he must hav,
passed fitting from room to room. a
habit which, IL discovered. he would
doubtless have attributed TO sleep

been known among his fine friends OF
