To Cannes, possibly." Such are some of the general counts in a sensational indicturent of Maylair made by the Hon. Patrick Balfour.

Mr. Balfour is the heir to Lord Kinross He has noved for years among the gilded racketeers whom he now denounces. At one time he edited a social gossip column.

A Masterpiece. He brings, accordingly, evidence to support his charges. His book is fully documented. It is eruelly illustrated. It is a masterpiece of debunking.

The Mayfair "racket," he al- leges, is a real racket, in the Chi- cago sense of the word.

Found Wanting.

Mr. Balfour examine the new society that has arisen-and finds it wanting.

Victorian society WAS equally drunken, and Edwardian society equally "immoral," and they, in deed, were more uncharitable and hypocritical. But modern society. in its boasted broad-mindedness and frankness, is merely shallow.

The 'slimming lines." she says, "usually consist of some sort of shapeless garment with inset vest or yoke reaching to or below the waist-line, and, more often than not, accentuate plumpness.
