is somewhat too naughty and frigd in to make
a good political canvasser but her good looks and
faultless dressing make her attractive figure on
any public platform. She has, too, what American
here rarely possess the air Of the "grande
dame to the born, and that counts for great
deal. When the conservative government in
power she great influence with the ministers
and big wigs at the Office and, to her credit be
it said, she used it with much discretion, remark
which cannot be applied to many society danes who
found themselves able to pull the wires.
The Imperial club may be regarded as her own par
ticu1ar enterprise. It was she who persuaded the
duchess of Somerset the duchess Of Grafton the dow
ager duchess Of Argyll Lily duchess Of Marlborough,
and the dowager duchess of Roxburghe to head the
stately list of vice presidents Among the thirtyone
countesses who figure in that list is the American
countess of Donoughmore. Lady awendolin Cecil a
daughter of the late marquis of Salisbury, and Miss
Alice Balfour sister of the late conservative prime
minister, are also among the vice presidents.

Engagement Buttons.

A pretty way of sealing engagement has been
invented by the inhabitants of the East End of London
Every man. Immediately he is engaged is expected
by his fancee to brooch with her photo
graph in his buttonhoe for long the engagement
lasts, and she in turn his photograph her
breast, her heart These are called "love-but-
tons,'' and if discarded any day by either of the
parties it is sign that the engagement is at end
This novel idea has only been in existence for about
week. and during that time 500 of these buttons have
been sold.-London Mail.

in the arts of political canvassng At the last gem
eral election, women s wes more extensively
employed in soliciting votes than in any previous cam
paign Several candidates. especially the conserva-
tive side, owed their to the judicous use OF
feminine powers of persuasion But these pettcoated
allies would have accomplished much more had they
had the benefit of previous of training in the
subtle art of mpantng the right political convictions
in the susceptible breasts Of masculine voters.
That deficiency the Imperial club will supply. Its
pupils will be instructed not only how to make femi-
nine fascinations far effective than masculine
logic in winning votes, but also how to steer clear of
the rather stringent English laws concerning bribery
and corruption The teachers will be campaign vet
who have gained their knowledge not from polit
cal textbooks but in the field of practical politics. In
this work there is woman in England who could
have rendered the Imperial club much assistance
that brilliant American woman, Lady Randolph
Churchill. But since her Winston revoted against
Chamberlain g fiscal policy she has belonged to the
other side. However, there many women, equally
enthusiastic politicians If not such clever ones, who
will endeavor to fill the place made vacant by her
desertion to the enemy. ,-
At the next general election the Imperial club will
put into the field such army of trained political
Amazons as has never before engaged in party war
