new play and wants to make a tour of
the provinces" something she has not
done for many years.
Fads hold sway everywhere. even to
the manner of shaking hands, so it
should not surprise anyone to find that
the latest way of being cordial should
be dictated by fashion. Time was
when guest arrived at ones house
the entire family turned out to meet
him, and give him a warm welcome.
But at present there is a fad for less
cordiality, and the English way of let
ting persons alone is regarded as the
correct thing. Writers upon the sub
ject of English country houses have all
ways contraSted the manner of recep-
ton over there with the warm greet
fngS given in America to the arrriv-
ing visitor.
Now the smart set in the East have
taken up the English way and when a
New Yorker goes to sHempsted or Tux
edo for a week end visit he may find
a servant to carry his things and a
road wagon to take him to the house
which, ten to one, is deserted and he
is Immediately shown his room where
he is supposed to tub" and dress for
dinner before seeing his host or hostess.
More than this there will be no enthu-
sfasm in his greeting from the hostess,
nor viii he be introduced to any of the
other guests, he being supposed to
know all those included in the same
house party. This again, is aping the
English style.
In fact, Indifference and unemotion-
alism are a fad of the moment and SO
far has it been carried by some Of the
smart folk of New York when enter
tanning, that some guests have been
known to receive mysterious kilograms
calling them back to the city on impor-
tant business. Moreover, it is bad
form to shake hands, and many host
esses carry huge Bouquet in their
hands to do away with the necessity
of this ceremony. Even their bows to
their guests are somewhat stiff among
the ultra smart.
1t can be imagined how all this ri
diculous red tape would appear to a
cordial Southerner.-> It is told Of a
late Assembly ball in New York, that a
Southern ariStocrat and his daughter
found that the woman who had asked
them to be her guests was not at the
affair; they walked about few times
and no one speaking to them, they went
home in disgust. In all conscience
there is enough rudeness and indiffer-
ence these days without making it a
fad and eXalting it into q virtue, and
it is hardly necessary to add that real
aristocrat anywhere could never be
rude to her guests at the bidding of
fad or fashion. Another development
of this nonsense is the stiff little bow
given to their friends on the street
by the smart, girls, even here in ST.
Paul, and the result of an effort to be
faddish. All these things merely indi-
cate a lack of common sense.

my conclusion? There can be but
one. She is goddess, your country

elements of beauty. One does not say

Yes. she is beautiful, all but her eyes
