LONDON SOCIETY
By THE I.AtlY MAIIV MAX WARING
London, January to.—(Special.)—The
Duke and Duchess of Roxburgh*, who
are both enthusiastic golfers, are un
derstood to be planning a palatial town
house to support the dignity or their
ancient titles and their almost un
bounded riches. The Duke of Rox
burghe is one of the few great peers
who lias no town house, although it
v as for one of his ancestors that Hare
wood House, which formerly stood in
Hanover Square was built by Robert Ad
am. London society, and especially the
large part thereof interested in golf,
hopes lh£t the news is true. The fine
links at Floors Castle Is one of the
principal ties which bind the charming
duchess and her fond husband to that
beautiful estate when others are in
town.
The Roxburghes are- among the most
popular wearers of the coveted straw
Now and then a dealer |
may tell you that some f
other corset is “just as
good as the Nemo.” The ii
experience of a million y
women proves that this is *
NOT TRUE. t

Think how nice it is' to
have a stylish long corset,
that fits you like an eelskin,
gives you the modish “in
curve,” keeps your corset
edge from showing through,
and is just as comfortable
when you sit down as it is
trim and graceful when you
stand!
And for only $3.00!
You never got so good
a corset before for so
little money.
The Lasticurve-Back con
sists of gores of the new
elastic Lastikops Cloth,
which never loses its elastic
ity. You know how long
even the best ordinary
elastics would last under such
a strain.
When you buy a corset
with elastic gores, be sure
it's a NEMO. Lastikops
Cloth is used in no other
make.

J
berry leaves. If ever there has been |
a love match between an American
millionairess and a British peer tt was
the marriage of Miss May Ogden Goelet
and the Duke of Uoxburghe. They have
remained devoted to each other. The
Dukedom is over tv o hundred years old
and the barony three hundred.
"The heroine of seventeen is a ro
mance of the past," pays Miss Constance
L. Maynard, dean of England's women
educators in the higher walks of ped
agogy. After a tenure of office lasting
thirty-one years, Mis*s Maynard is retir
ing at the end of the coming summer
term from the direction of Westfield
college of the University of London.
Her educational experience covers the
| whole period since the movement for
I the higher education of women began. »
"Well I remember." she told me. "my j
first days at Girton, when the higher i
education of girls was considered a i
great joke.
"We were called blue stockings. The :
idea of a clever girl being able to talk '
of anything but book knowledge or of i
her being a jolly girl was not enter- I
tained for one moment. That prejudice |
passed with the years.
"But the life of the average girls of
I forty years ago was a vacuous affair.
She passed the years with little oppor
tunity of mental improvement. Her life
was unoubtedlv dull in many respects.
Marriage, of course, was her ultimate
aim in life. Often there came a time
when through unseen circumstances,
the girl's home was broken up, and
she had suddenly to face the realities
of life. Innumerable cases of high
birth suffering direst poverty were the
result.
"The advent of the higher education
changed all this. Instead of education
ending at eighteen many girls at this
age are only beginning to fit themselves
for spending a really useful life. And
1 do not consider that this should inter
fere with a girl's chance of marring*.
The heroine of seventeen is a romance
ot' the past.
"If a girl marries the fact that she
lias mastered many subjects the very
names of which were unknown to tno
girls of forty years ago is an asset, for
j she has a more serious outlook on life
and her responsibilities.
Mrs. Asquith has somewhat peculiar
views upon the upnrtnging of children,
and If, as Is probable, Miss Elizabeth
Asquith makes her formal debut this
coming season, she will be no stranger
to the world, for site has accompanied
her mother to all sorts of places snd all
kinds of functions ever sinqp she could
toddle. .She has beer, seen at dress re
hearsals In the theatre and at drawing
room meetings: she has listened to the
platitudes and philosophies of the bril
liant company her mother affects, and
absorbed wisdom of the oldest and
worldliest type. She is not pretty, but
has a rather remarkable face, and hatr
almost as difficult to keep within
bounds as that of her smaller brother,
who has also seen much more of th
world than the average ytjpngster of
his age.
The Queen has Issued a mandate that
all trains to he worn at the future
courts, the first of which takes place in
February, are to be shorter by half a
yard than in the past. This wdll be re
garded as a boon by most ladies, who
found It extremely difficult, even after
a lot of practice, to courtesy with grace
before the presence when they had
some yards of dress material hanging
on to them.
During the present year only two
peers come of age, the Earl of Lisbume
on February S and Lord C'arberrv on
May 20. Several oldest sons tfn i
heirs of peers, however, attain their
majorities, the most Important of these
being Lord Althorpe, Lord Spencer^
eldest son, who Is 21 on May 23; Vincent
Ralncltffe. Ig>rd Londesborough's elder
son on July 17; and Viscount Olive,
Lord Fowls’ elder son, on December 2.
Other peers' heirs who come of age
during 1913 are the Hon. John Man
ners, Lord Manners’ elder son, on Jan
uary 6: the Hon. Robert Vernon, Lord
Lyveden's son on February 1; the Hon

Elden, atta’ns his majority on June 1.7.

Desplt the recent raid of a fashlona- I
ble gaming house, the authorities are
well aware that baccaret for high !
stakes Is being played in other sup
posedly private houses. Only last week 1
their attention was directed to the case
of the young son of a wealthy manufac
turer having lost Sin.000 at one sitting.
It Is expected that the house in ques
tion, wMilch Is run b> an ex-officer, and
is being closely wn-ched night and day.
will he raided at a-t opportune moment, j
It is Stated that as a result of play- j
ing night after night the title role In
Saint Sebastian, the opera drama by j
Signor D’Annuzio. the pretty young j
dancer, Ida Rubenstein, has become
deeply religious.
Several prominent socitey ladles arc
taking lessons in elocution with a view (
to helping their husbands at the next J
general election. Tt is hoped by the j
women leaders that by that time Brit- |
ish women will have the vote.
