"Disreputablo women who affect tho
conduct of a lady without her graces
are amongst tho leading spirits of smart
society. When the morals of the poul-
try yard flourish in the atmosphere Of
the stable, it is only natural that the
intelligence of the nursery is applied
to the problems of the Empire To
enter into the char med circle, neither
brains, nor breeding, nor birth, nor in
fluence are necessary. All that is re-
quired is money, and then more money!
Every now and then, an explosion takes
place, and the public learns with be-
normal feature Of smart society,or that
women who are courtesans in all but
name are no more tabooed in smart
society than they were from the ravil-
ion at Brighton In the days of the re-
gency. The secret influence on the
government welded by this common
rout Of Circes, sybarites, cynics and
tinapciers is subtle and profound. Leg
islation. foreign rolicy and taxation
are not settled in Parliament. The

American women, people who are not
received in New York or Washington,

not really, exclusive society. Smai

self respect and government that is
too philosophical, effete, preoccupied
or exhausted to see that England's
greatness is SLIPPING away from her are
the allies of this Infamous confed'
