RENT TITLED FOREIGNERS
Money Paid for Guests at After
noon Teas in London.

London, Dec. 2l.-An English woman,
who poses as an authority on the subject
has caused futter in society by direct
ing attention TO what is brutally called
the growing practice of hostesses Of So
cial prominence engaging titled and un-
titled prepossessing and presentable
young men to adorn their afternoon tea
parties 1t is even suggested that because
hostesses are finding 1t impossible to get
men 10 60 to their afternoon affairs a
number OF women OF social standing
have been earning much good gold by
providing male and even female guests
at fees which vary according 20 the title
Of the human article supplied.
There is always number Of impe-
cunious young Continental men about
London" says the authority referred to,
who are nice enough in their way,
their only fault being that they can't get
away from the belief that ii Is more
honorable thing to pick up an heiress
than to 90 to work.
These young men are faultlessly
dressed, and their manners are exquisite.
A lady bearing one of the oldest titles IN
the country, perhaps, invites them to her
house, pretends TO be greatly taken with
them, and offers to launch them in Lon
don society
Then she cheerfully takes them to all
the select afternoon tea parties she at
tends. and they find themselves over
whelmed with invitations to similar func-
tons Little do the men suspect that
every time they go TO party their wom-
an friend receives certain sum of money
from the hostess
Here is the scale OF charges for guests
actually issued by countess:
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1912-12-29

Just few days ago a Russian noble
woman visiting London was giving re-
ceptlon in the afternoon, and you can
imagine how terribly shocked and an
noyed she was when an English duchess
wrote to her, offering to supply ten young
men and the same number OF women. all
bearing titles, as guests, for the sum OF
30 guineas.
Young Englishmen, the younger sons
of lords and the like, have been imposed

business. which is beginning 10 disgust

afternoon tea party system, which some

SUPERVISOR BOYD HAS
GRIEVANCE OVER ROADS

Supervisor Ed Boyd has a grievance.
He had managed to hold back about
$4,000 of the Holtville district road
money. and when the necessity arose
for building the road through the sand
hills to open a way to Yuma for the
San Diego races, he turned it in that
channel, feeling that it was to the in
terest of the entire valley that the pos
Sibilty of q road to Yuma should be
demonstrated. But Mr.. Boyd thought
the money would be refunded to his
district from the general road fund,
which the supervisors Yesterday re
fused to grant.

PRETTY SHADES

When n woman Is supplied with
paper and paste. she has all the ma
terials that are needed for making
artistic and unique shades for can
dies. lamps and electric bulbs. The
shades resemble In effect the wrought
iron and opal glass shades. but they
have the advantage of being light and
can be used for candles and lamps
while the heavy glass ones cannot.
1t Is not a difficult task to make
the shades. Draw the pattern on one
side of piece Of heavy water-color
paper, the figure measuring about four
inches in length. two and three-quar-
ter inches across the top. and four
and three eighth inches across the
bottom.
On one side allow one eighth OF an
inch more for the lap and also around
each part of tho design, SO that the
lines will hold together firmly. With
a sharp knife cut out the pattern.
Using this as a guide, trace around
tho separate parts with sharp
pointed pencil Then cut out the other
three sides like the first.
Cut the surface of the paper with
a knife when ready to crease the lap:
use rule or straight edge as q guide.
This enables one to turn the lap
smoothly and sharply. Take O square
piece of paper for the top. with the
edges the same length as the top
edges OF the sides. and allow one
eighth inch outside FOR IA lap. Cut
circular hole In the center to ut the
candle-holder fitting 1t firmly. where
the laps should turn, cut through tho
right surface OF the paper and turn.
as on the sides.
Blacken the skeleton sides and tons
with India Ink, working It we'll over
the cut edges SO that when lined
there will be no white lines showing.
With colored tissue paper line the
parts OF the design. At this point one
can show individuality In the work.
