LONDON. April 4-(New York World
Cablegram - Special Telegram.) 1t is
thought probable that King Edward will
change the da,e Of his next court May 8,
in order to avoid interfering with the great
fancy dress ball which Mrs. Adair. for
merly of New York is to give to inaugurate
the London season. Each GIadrille con-
sisting of ten persons, will represent some
picturesque period Of dress
Lady Barrymore, her sister, is arrang
ing an Irish square dance, in which the
costumes worn will be those Of the Irish
queens and the princes of Tyrconnell, cop
led from ancient manuscript in the Hiber-
nian academy at Dublin. The countess Of
Warwick will lead the pompadour
quadrillc.
Lady Barrymore will give n ball May 4
for the debut of her pretty daughter, Mel
lie Post. Few girls have had the promise
of so brilliant a season as Miss Post, with
her beautiful mother for her chaperon, and
her aunt, Mrs. Adair, to take her every
where. She is the envy OF many English
girls. She Is extremely clever and charm
ing, with ready wit. In Dublin she was
greatly admired and made many friends in
her three weeks visit at the castle as the
guest Of the vice royalties.
Mr.. and Mrs. Moreton Frewen's daugh-
ter Glare, will also be brought out at Lady
Barrymore's ball. She is very bright and

chievous eyes. Although her mother does
not take her out much herself during the
season, her aunts. Mrs. George CORVALLIS
West and Mrs. Jack" Leslie, give her a
good time. Mrs. West is arranging several
young peoples parties for her at her house
in Great Cumberland Place, and she will
be presented at the first court in May by
her mother.

Smart" society is still eagerly dis
cussing the trouble between Mrs. George
CORVALLIS West CJady Randolph ChurchilD
and the Irish viceroy and vicerine. 1t
seems that the Dudleys are very ceremoni-
Gus when in Ireland, and that even Lord
Dudley's mother has to curtsy to him
when she enters a room where he is. Young
George West, unmindful Of these royal for
malities, asked an aide -de-camp to tell
"Eddy''-that is the viceroy, the earl of
Dudley-to come and play golf.
This objectionable offense made the whole
: vice regal court shudder and the Vests got
the cold shoulder for the remainder OF
! their stay in Dublin. King Edward natu-
rally takes the Dudleys' side, as it was q
| slight to his personal representative.
