This desire to get away from set

charming in young womanhood. Add
to this the chaperone system which
is adhered to most rigidly on all oc-

serious business, indeed.

A lieutenant attached to one OF the
Eastern forts gained reputation for
his unlimited betting on the slightest
provocation. 1t was but short time
before he had nearly cleaned out all
the members of the company to which
he was attached. 1t was therefore with
some relief that the members and Off

Added to the already long list of
peers who have found their affinities
in music halls and theaters, three more,
SO the report goes, are about to bestow
their titles and their fortunes upon
women who act for a living.
And with each succeeding report of
this character shudder passes
through the ranks of British society.
1t is not shudder of horror because
more actresses are destined to invade
the ranks of the smart set-for the
profession has standing in England
such as it has in no other country;
but it is shudder of apprehension.
1t means, so British students of social
matters declare, that conditions
among the upper class in the empire
must change, or the percentage Of ar
istocratic spinsters will increase with
the years.
Why do British noblemen persist in
marrying women of the stage?
Why do they ignore the women sof
their own rank, some of whom might
bring them ample fortunes. and marry
actresses who in many cases possess
neither family nor riches?
The answer Is apparent to the most
casual observer of British social con-
ditions.

breeds dullness among English girls

Except for the twittering Of the

was very still as Miss Margaret laid
the wreath she had brought upon her
lovers grave.

had allowed no anniversary of his
death to pass without placing flowers
on the green mound. that marked the

older people in the village, who re-

with the light of happy love in her
blue eyes, and after the loss that end

Only two days In the year did she
'consecrate to her sorrow-the ami

her married.
On the former she placed flowers on
her lovers grave; on the latter Miss
Margaret took from their tissue wrap
pings the wedding gown Of sheeny
satin, the filmy veil, the snowy gloves
and slippers she had never worn.
II the day were fine she hung the
'dress before an open window to let
the spring breeze smooth out any
wrinkles. Then, lovingly and careful

fresh paper, with a bit of wax in each
package to keep its contents white.

No, indeed. But If I could only have

were followed by a sigh.
Miss Margaret leaned forward q lit

to get glimpse of the two girls. She
