Veagh and Mr.. James Deering; then comes al
ways, according to this authority, an ambitious
set. insisting upon having it's presence felt and
sometimes forgetting that what the innermost
circles of French society least Of all toler-
ant of is obtrusive personality. This set has
been represented here by Mr.. and Mrs. Potter
Palmer. whose entertainments have been invari-
ably ordered with irreproachable correctness and
well attended. Mrs. Palmer's tact and her ex-
quisitely fitting gowns have been keenly appre-
eiated and even initiated. Then comes the third
class, for which my Partisan informant shows
no mercy whatever, and describes as the Chi
cago bureaucracy. which processes good inten-
tions, but from its nervous hurry, lack of social
experience and want of tact, has trod on French
and cosmopolitan toes, and made enemies right
and left Mr.. and Mrs. Ferdinand Peck ex
offlcio at the head Of this set and serve the
Turks head for volley after volley of caustic
criticism for the alleged administrative and
social failures with which they charged
by their own townsfolk, who declare that from
a social point of view the Pecks are simply
not in It."
AS these various Chicago contingents, may
be from the passenger lists of the transat-
lantic steamers are returning westward
this psychological analysis made by one of the
recognized leaders of Partisan society has real
application at home. Never before has Partisan
society been so permeated and marked by
wealthy pleasure seeking Americans, both men
and women. who have been carefully studied as
an extraordinary outcome of the Exposition-a
sort of Exposition "clou," as 1t were. because
people here are convinced that 1t presents
forecast of the new social Americanism. the So
ciety of the future. c. I. B.

money market here that there will be no inter-
Tuption Of American prosperity and industrial
activity.
Autumn raw cotton has been welcomed in
Lancashire. where the spinners have sought to
avert the consequences OF their own lack of
foresight by suspending the operation of mills
and throwing large body Of operatives out OF
work. While they have partially protected them
selves against speculative prices they have also
shown their ina bility control their own trade.
Those spinners who had prudently laid In heavy
stocks in anticipation of rise in cotton could
not be induced to run on half time or to close
their works for the benefit OF their less saga
cious rivals.
Sir Thomas ]. Lipton's pork corner In Chicago
has increased his popularity In England. The
details Of his operations are not understood. but
there is a general impression that he has sue
ceeded in rivalling Chicago spectators in bust
ness shrewdness and GOODNESS of judgment This
achievement nearly equals in reputation the
honors he has won in New-York by competing
with yachtsmen and not insulting them when
they have beaten him fairly.
The exhibition of American photographs at
the Royal Society's rooms, in Russell Square.
brings together four hundred works by masters
of the art. Various styles are illustrated, and
English photographers are amazed by the deli
cacy Of the work and by the progress made in
America, especially in pictorial effects. These
American examples are quite distinct from Eng
lish work in refinement and method.

during the war.
Colonel McCalmont was the sitting member

Paris. Oct. B.-Regarding the decision of the

Of that institution said to-day:
This establishment cannot remain Indifferent to
the monetary condition in other countries. At the

where, and the revenues of the Bank Of France in
the last six months have swelled to material
degree. A new monetary tension at London and a
new increase in the official rate OF the Bank of
England will certainly recoil here and will lead to
a general monetary crisis. that the Bank Of France
