smart Set n ke it Up.
Hitherto It was only the common or
garden children who made merry on No
vember 5 and burnt in effigy the hero Of
the famous gunpowder plot. but/this year
some Of the smartest English and Amer
lean hostesses allowed their chicks to issue
invitations for parties on that date. All
the enterprising toy shops in town sold
~effigies Of Guy to be burnt and miniature
fireworks were also sold by the hundred
to be set aflame for the occasion.
Mrs. Lulu Harcourt's little girls made
merry on the anniversary, and the duchess
Of Marlborough, who is still in the country
and remaining on there Indefinitely, or
dered several Guys and quantities Of
fireworks from a well known London shop
that her boys might celebrate the occasion

Smart women have come to realize that
motoring is a pastime calculated to add to
too solid flesh" This is a serious con-
sideration. especially now that it is imper-
alive hat the figure should be as sylphlike
as possible. Hence the fiat has gone forth
that in order either to reduce or prevent
the formation OF adipose tissue IT. is es-
sential to walk from three to four miles u
day. A few Of our smart danes have,
however, never given up the old-fashioned
daily walk. Among them is Mrs. Co. ge
Cornwallis-West. who certainly reaps well
the benefit of her exertions, her figure
being all that she can desire. When Mrs.
West is at her place at st. Adams she
makes a point of walking from four to five
miles a day. Arrayed in a short tweed
skirt with a REFER coat and square-toed,
low-heeled shoes, she sallies forth with a
favorite dog or two and takes the road
with the energy of a school girl.
Duchesses Take Daily walks.
Another society woman VINO has always
made a point CT keeping up her daily walk,
whether in town or country, is Louise,
duchess of Devonshire. The young duch-
ess of Manchester is among the fashionable
women who have been ordered by her doc
tor to take from two to three hours walk
ing exercise every day, a decided trial to
her, as for years past she has practically
never walked, taking her fresh air either
in thes latest motor car or the donkey
chaise with her children. Lady Warwick
is another who has taken to walking exar-
else as being absolutely essential If she
hopes to retain that beauty of figure for
which she has always been so we'll known.
Hitherto 1t was the dog only whose toll

to his mistress. Now pussy has poked her
nose in and demands equal attention in
regard to her adornment. OF late it has
become the fashion to take Persian cats
about for drives and for such expeditions

Gonsuelo, duchess of Manchester, is a
great cat ~worshipper, though her favorites
of the feline order are mostly elderly, she
having had them for years, and do not ac-
company her out of doors. On a recent
birthday her Yankee Doodle a blue

ears. Whether her grace's pet has been
allowed to wear these or not 1 cannot say,
for the duchess, like Queen Alexandra, has
an objection to titivating her animals and
she says she will not allow them to be
made to look ridiculous.
