THE HOSTESSES OF TODAY.

THE ASCENDANCY OF AMERICAN WOMEN.

A striking feature of the Woman at Home' for January is a lavishly-illustrated articia by "Ignota," on "Twentieth Century Hostesses." According to "Ignota," the new century has opened very brilliantly, so far as British, bos. tesses are concerned, "In no matter, however,"

If we are to trust the memoirs and books of reminiscences which have of late thrown a strong light on the uncial changes between, say, the years 1840 and 1880, what has mest struck the imagination of such critics of Mr. George Russell is the amazing increase of ma- terial luxury due to the incursion on our old. world aristocracy of those whom the French

early dubbed the nouuroux riches, or newly- Pich. It would of course be absurd to suppose "or to pretend, as certain people do now, that the newly-rich played no part in the society of

then than now. But where a great change has come about is that, whereas in the nine- teenth century English world the newly-rich had little chance of making their way in the highest circles unless through marriage (and this in still the case on the continent, notably in France), the posession of immense wealth has now become an open sesame, and extra- vagant luxury, once frowned upon as vulgar, is now the quid pro quo expected from those who wish to enjoy the society of the well-born and 'smart' set.....

It mast, however, be ad- mitted that wealth alone will not admit its possessors into that world which used to be known as 'the Upper Ten Thousand' Origin. ality, good looks, the power of spending money with lavish and yet pleasant prodigality-all these gifts and more are needed, and they are possessed in no small measure by those to whom we have made a passing reference. in the social history of England there is nothing more amazing than the sudden ascendancy of the American element.

That English society is becoming increasing- ly American in tone and trend is obvious to most people... We. ere gradually but surely adapting ourselves to Americap conditions and exigencies.
