 have a .good time" through life. the aristocrat's American bride must adopt the ways and customs of those about her. In London, for instance. she must be elaborately up" in politics, as al- ready hinted: she must know whole lot mors about horses and racing than she would need to in this country, and che must be thoroughly informed ns to the rank by birth of every one she is to meet in society.
 She must be more proficient in all these things than any Englishwoman needs to be. The daughter of Duke. for instance, secure by reason Of her birth in Ter social position, may be as ignorant about horse racing. or even the eenealogy of any one at all, as she likes; her lack of knowledge will hard 1yfexcite comment, and at the most will De attributed to a lamentable eccen-' tricity of taste.
 Similar ignorance on the part of a young American bride in England would be attributed, of course, to it's real cause; the fact that she was not born to her position, and the resulting comments would surely be unpleasant. The only reason that American girl brides get along as well as they do in England, says the titled Briton already referred to, Is that in the majority Of gases careful, thorough education of  posed upon the American temperament. Even at that, he says, the young American bride in London has to work Tremendously hard at first to win her way; her life, perforce. he says, must be almost as strenuous as MT. Roose- velt.s, and she is likely to lose her vantage if she relaxes much for several years. Yet. because of her European education. and because very likely, she has been looking forward since child hood to marriage with a nobleman, she gets along much easier than did the American bride when Jennie Jerome married Lord Randolph Churchill. It may be added that the American wo- man of today in London rarely per petrafes such unconventionalities as those which for years made Lord Ran doiph's bride such a source of joy to the nations.
 Each Largely Judged on Her Merits The regard with which American wo- men of title are really regarded in Lon don differs, of course, according to the individual viewpoint. In the main each is judged on her own merits probably, the same as any one else. II she is sensible. good tempered, sane and mindful of the customs of the countr, her American birth is not held against e travagance in money matters. ultrf taste in dress. gaucheries of all sorts when displayed by daughter of Uncle Sam who has married abroad ar' doubtless credited to her origin.
 Naturally there are some high borr English women who feel and sometime. show a degree of bitterness toward thu American girls who have captured SC many prizes The views of these wo men seem to be bodied forth in thu writings of a contributor to the Eng fish papers signing herself Rita"
 She intimates that practically all thu foilies of the so-called smart set" arr the doing of American women, a bold flashing, vulgar lot. who have com pleteIy transformed a society that for merly dined at o'clock, went to be' at 10 and generally behaved itself witl vfllagelike simplicity Into a wildly dis sipated lot of devotees of cake walks, Appendicitis luncheons" (whateve they may be) and many other ''crazI inanities" The Anglo-American al ready quoted admits the foolish insani ty of the so-called smart set, but say few American women have ever joine it.
 Those who have made it "a littl smarter, more amusing, more daringl erotesQue." but that is all. Withou them 1t would have been duller, bu no better as to taste and morals. H
