Curzon's sisters were going to DE mar
ricd % English uObleWeu so the pros
poet Of brilliant American season
looked hopeful We found too late That
most OF the Americans had decided To
do their entertaining at the fashion

Paris Tho report current I'M London
a few days ago that Mrs Goclct had
cablcd an offer for DcVonshirc House,
the town residence OF the Duke ot
Devonshlrc is not strictly accurate.
The facts are these. 10 WAS rumOrcd
in the clubs that the dukp's heir Victor
Cayendish a. p would not bee able
tn maintain the numerous residences
which would come into hI9 occupation
after the DUKES death and that he had
decided 20 dispose OF DcyonshirC House.
An enterprIsing house agent hearing
the story and knowing that Mrs. Coo
let was anxious 90 have "a town house
for her daughter cgblcd TO the lady
that the Duke OF Dcvoushire's house in
piccadilly Was to be- sold. Although y
reply is expected II has not yet arrived
REyELRY BELOW STAIRS.
This season has witnessed COM
mendable revival Of the old fashioned
custom Of royclry below stairs which
used 10 be au inyariable accompani-
inent OF Christmas In every country
house, great or small, "A generation ago.
Royalty In this respect, as I'm many
others, has set am excellent example
both the king and queen, and the Prince
ana Princess OF Wales having taken es-
pecial pains that their faithful serv-
ants and dependents should have % fun
Ia a IA
Arundel ana LonRleat, Ridge and CAS-
tie Howard, ChatsWOuh kuoWsley
and Webeck and some other stately
homes the old traditions have been
maintained. At Woibeck, the splendid
sent OF the Duke OF Portland, the
servants ball WAS held IN the great
Hubterranean gallery for the first time
since the disastrous Ere OF four or i've
years ago Tho duke led M the nrst
dance IN proper style with the house,
Keeper While the house-steward had The
honor Of dancing with the duchess. But
at no place were the servants moro
sumptuously treated than at Worth
park where Mrs. MontenOre lives with
her son, Sir Francis Montchore Here,
~ anywhere In the world, the servants
live ln clover an the year round They
have their own special ballroom, billiard
room and stage for private theatrlcals.
THE TIPPING EVIL.
II Is because OF the growth Of the
Tipping system that I'm many country
houses Christmas is not kept at all.
their owners preferrlng to dlsport them
selves IA the Riviera or at some big
london hotel which they find much less
expensive. And for the same reason
many others fee 10 foreign clmes to
escape Invitations to Christmas country
house parties The tips which custom
demands Of them on such occasions en-
sbles them TO live I'm luxury abroad for
much longer period. At Chatsworth
the Duke and Duchess Of DevOnshire
not only give lAylshly 10 an their own
servants, but 10 those OF their guests.
Each guest IN his or her turn literally
tips the house servants. ~ well az the
keepers and outdoor employees who may
have rendered some small service dur
ing their stay. n rs only those who
have long purses who can AFFORD to par

such circumstances.
A ROMANTIC COURTsHIP.
The curiosity Of an London has been
eroused by romantic courtslhp which
has been carried on for many months In
the agony column Of the paper most fa-
vored by the social elect, the Morning
Post, and which rs stll apparently no
'forreder' The lovers, or perhaps one
should say the lover and her loved one
disguise their Identities under the psou-
donyms OF "Silent Worshper" and
"shy Lady though the Woocr add
dresses the object Of his alteration as
"sweet Lady They first saw each
Dther at the fashionable Carlton hotel
over n year ago Since then they have
exchanged many messages In print at q
considerable expenditure Of cash. but
have never met lu this correspondence
the lady has occasionally encouraged
him and at other times has been more
than shy The Wooer has been con-
astently ardent and persistent but APP
parCntly he has been lacking in that
courage which counts for 30 much with

Nertlsemont rccently

But, alas for "Slent Worshlper," he
cannot take a definite initiative" for
as subsequent advertisements have
shown, he did not succeed In Identify
ing her, perhaps because her bashful-
ness led her to conceal herself I'm the
Hhrong ut the crowded railroad station
which she had selected as their trystmg
place. However, what he lacks IN au-
daclty he seems 20 make up IN hope,
and the New Year inspired him to print
this efusion as an "ad:"
sweet Lady May every blessing at

"Youll love me yet,
Love must boget
Love. J trust myself and fate
To gain you yet.

No matter how long | watt
n Is 10 be hoped that such patience
and falth VIII meet with their reward
GONE day, and that the lovers, shy and
silent no longer, viii meet 10 part no
more, But perhaps what all London
pas regarded ag romantic courtship
