Mrs. CORVALLIS West, better known
as Lady Randolph Churchill, is quick
to enter the lists in defense of society
from the attack of Mrs. Aston. She
has nothing startling new to say. She
dismisses smart sets" from all con-
sideration on the ground that they do
not belong to society and she asks

and very cultured people, who detest
seeing their names in print and frown
severely upon whatever smacks OF
publicity.

social "sets," each one being a Law
unto itself and looking down upon al
others as inferior. Then, again, she
thinks that American society womeI
should take an interest in politics anC
serious occupations of that kind.

croached upon or their position

English society being less exclusive
