Lord Granard on Titles.

THE Earl of Grana.d, at one Of the
l dinners in honor of his betrothal to
Miss Ogden Mills, said OF titles:
Most titles have queer origins-quite
as queer, really, as that of the Carolina
coloners.

way resemble the at homes OF the cab

cards for their least function, very much
as the wives of the foreign diplomats do

more than fifty or sixty guests for the

teas during the season that the entire
visiting list may be exhausted London
great mansions have the drawing rooms

consists of dressing rooms, dining room
and room for card playing. The guest
may pass from the front door into the
dining room, where all sorts of drinks

himself in the cardroom and enjoy bridge
