“TANGO BREAKFAST”
THE LATEST CRAZE
Introduced by Mrs. Cecil Bingham.
King and Queen Make Few New
Friends Unlike King Edward.
News of Society
By LADY MARY.
London. November 29.—(Special.)—Miss
Page tells of an amusing experience her
father, the American ambassador, had in
Scotland lately. It seems Mr. and Mrs.
Page arrived at a country house to learn
that their luggage, which had been sent
on in advance, apparently had been lost
During their long motor drive they were
caught in a Scotch mist and were sat
urated to the bone with damp. The host
ess prompely offered the use of any gar
ments in her wardrobe to the ambassa
dor’s wife, but it so happened that the
men, mostly guests, had with them only
one set of evening clothes each and the
host never wore anything when in the
north but kilts.
“A kilt is a fine garment,” said Dr.
Page. “Cannot someone be so kind as
to lend me one?” “You can have as
many as you like,” replied the laird.
It was then Mrs. Page chimed in and
said the doctor, she was sure, would get
his death of cold in a kilt. Everybody
assured her that she was greatly mis
taken and forthwith a magnificent kilt
for evening wear was produced into which
the ambassador changed and assured th<*
company he never felt so free and easy
in his iife and that if it were possible
he would array himself in such a gar
ment ever more.
Lord Durham's Tragedy
The King and Queen do not make many
new friends; they stick to the old, un
like King Edward, who was always ready
to tack on an interesting fresh acquaint
ance to his circle. Lord Durham, with
whom the King and Queen will shortly
be staying, Is a man with a tragically
sad history. Almost since his marriage
his wife has been an inmate of a pri
vate asylum with never a hope of re
covery. A terrible shock was, it appears,
the cause of the calamity and from the
very start it was realized she must go
on enduring this living death. The story
is so pathetic that it is never discussed.
Lady Anne Lambton, Lord Durham’s
youngest sister hut one—there are 12 of
the family—is the "right hand’* and al
ways acts as hostess for him. She has
spent considerably over 20 years refusing
men who have proposed to her.
One great party who wooed I>ady Anne
said, "You don’t mean to say you are
going to be an old maid? Think well
and realize the shame of such a posi
tion."
"Oh," replied Lady Anne, laughing,
"didn’t you ever hear of St. Paul, who
laid it down that those who marry do
well but that those who don’t do better.
And if it is a shame for a woman to lead
her own life, I’m going t.o be that shame
ful woman."
Tango Breakfast (he Latest
The latest craze is the tango breakfast.
Introduced by Mrs. Cecil Bingham, who
was Mrs. Samuel Sloane Chauncey; Indeed
It may he said that it was Mrs. Bingham*
who is responsible for bringing the tango
Into the prominent position it now has
In society.
Before she danced 1t at her own
hall last June people would have none
of it: they declared it was fit only
for a music hall. On the occasion
mentioned she staggered the whole
room by taking the floor with one
of the professional dancers and trip
ped it so gracefully that there was
an ovation when she had finished and |
the future of the Argentine movement
was assured. Some of the big hos
tesses said no power would induce
them to allow It to he danced In their
ballrooms. “Wait and see," said the
Americans, "they will, as they always
do follow us.’’ Sure enough they were
right. The latest news is that sev
eral of the American steps are being
taught to Princess Mary and that the ,
Queen has fallen a victim of the “one”
and "two-step” dances. After that one
may expect the heavens to fall. It is
no wonder it is rumored that we shall
shortly hear of the tango being danced
at Buckingham palace.
primrose in America
Nell Primrose, Lord Rosebery’s sec
ond sen, is in America. -It is not, of
course, his first trip to your side; in
deed, he seems particularly fond of
your climate—or is the attraction in
another quarter? You will all like
him when you get to know him, only,
mind you, lik«* other Scotchmen, he
does want knowing. Decidedly stand
offish at first, when he likes people
he soon enough thaws and his heart
is most emphatically in the right place.
A few days before his departure I was
walking up Piccadilly behind him and
noticed that he gave a coin to everv
beggar on the way. They gave you
the Impression that they all knew him
and that it was by no means their
first attempt at the game.
He says his special object in going
to the United States is to get an in
sight into how things are done in edu
cational and public institutions and
incidentally to have a look at the girls,
for it is high time he was settling
down. He is extremely well off, for a
wealthy relative on his mother’s side
left brim some years ago a handsome
fortune and a charming house in
Great Stanhope street—the very one
indeed that was in years gone by
owned by “the Jtimes brothers,” as the
late William James and his brother,
Arthur, wealthy Americans, used to
be defined Besides, his father, Lord
Rosebery, is one of the riches peers
whose already considerable well filled
coffers were further replenished by a
Rosebery. Is one of the richest peers
of Lord Dalmeny, Neil Primrose and
Lord Rosebery’s two daughters.
A Misehievious Imp
Mrs. Beatty, wife of Rear Admiral.
Beatty, a daughter of the late Marshall
Field, Sr., had an alarming experience
lately when she entered the nursery and
found her young Fon witli a pair of scis
sors in his hand industriously cutting off j
the baby’s curls. The culprit is one of I
the prettiest children in society, but like j
other daring imps of Ids age has de
veloped a love of mischief. For the first
time in his life he had a thrashing from
bis mother. Having, however, a sailor
for a father he has been always kept well
under. Although Admiral Beatty adores
the boy he has a thoroughly British idea
of training children and has always kept
him in control. He insists, “to spare the
rod is to spoil the child,” an idea which,
to his wife, is full of tyranny.
When his father is away Master Beatty
still drinks “to his mother's beautiful
eyes,” a custom Admiral Beatty instituted |
shortly after his marriage. On the even- ;
ing, however, he had the whipping the
youngster said, “If you don't mind,
mother, I do not think I can make my j
speech tonight. I feel rather too tired
to make speeches, and think I'll go to
bed.”
“That’s a pity,” she replied, “but it I
does not matter because your father is j
coming home this evening and there’s a j
■peria 1 ice pudding.” j
