raised Cain when they saw this In
print They treated the public 20 a
most edifying spectacle OF righteous
wrath and indignation.
81 need not tell YOU" said Lord Lur-
gan 20 an interviewer, that such n
circular was issued without either my
knowledge or consent. IL Ia Disgrace
full and vulgar, and when | first saw
e ! was simply astonished, j imme-
dately wrote a letter TO Scott and | can
assure you that there was no beating
about the bush In that letter OF mine.
| let Scott have II straight and de-
fnanded an Nplanauon-and fun ex-
planatlon--at once. / hope" he added,
that you VIII give prominence to the
fact that Viscount Chelsea and capt.
Cadogan, who are both out Of town,
We're as completely ignorant Of this
Internally ipguish circular us l was
NIPPED IN THE BUD.
Evidently. but for the publication Of
the circular the company might have
realized poor SCOTS most sanguine ex-
pectations. But now his enterprise has
been nippcd In the bud and because OF
the exposure he viii have to be con-
tent with q business conducted on tho
uld-fashioned lines that We're pursued
before modern eXplolters had discoy-
cred the peorniary value Of names
that are linked with a noble ancestry,
There are no end Of schemes similar
To Scotre which have not been spoiled
by the publication " indiscreet cirCu-
lars whose promoters are thriving on
the complaccncy and oonnvlnce Of men
IN high office.
WOMEN ALSO.
The titled tout business is not re-
stricted TO men. Many women Of rank
and high social position are engaged IN
selling all sorts Of articles on commits
sion from pedlgreed puppy dogs to
pianOlas and automobiles. In fact,
these petticoated drummers are more
numerous, persistent, subtle and i'm
Renious than the swell masculine COM
mercial agents In disguise. But their
names do not appear I'm prospectuseS
and they do not openly sell. They
simply recommend" and claim rake
orr on the orders thus obtained,
Women who are avowedly engaged
an trade cannot be presented at court,
Lady Dum-Gordon, for instance, who
conducts fashionable dress making
establishment IN Hanover Square,
where she makes q speciality Of "emo-
tional gowns" cannot appear at any
Of the kings leVees, But II IL general
~ understood that several aristocratic
women tout for her who are persona
gratn' at court 1t Is a system mat
puts premium ON humbug.
Not n few beautiful and known wo-
men are agents for photographers. OF
course they do not solicit orders, They
present their latest photographs To their
acquaintances, mentioning incidentally,
perhaps, that the duchess Of \ never
patrnizes any other studio And when
the seed thus sown bears fruit they
reap their reward. Other women In
similar fashion introduce perfumes,
cosmetics and even soaps. Nothing
comes amlss out OF which money Ia 30
be made--"on the quiet" A legion or
fashionable danes get their own gowns
made for nothing, besides Il liberal
commission on the orders they influ-
once
But Il is az a motor car agent that
the arlstocratic feminine tout has the
best time Of t. The firm for whom
she works "unbehnownst," supplies her
free of charge with one OF their cost
Hest cars and most skillful chauifeurs
and stand elaborate feeds ~ which
prospective victims are invited after IA
delightful spin.
Society Is permeated with disguised
touts. They play the game I'm all sorts
OF ways and not always fairly. They
have no league for mutual protection;
they do not love one another, but self
interest restraints them from giving
one another away To be found out
Is the fatal thing.
