LONDON. Sept. 11. (ffpeclnl.) Amsrlrari
prominent tn English society are notorious
f r the costliness of their sntsrialr.rne-.s
and the lavishness of their hospitalities.
They don't care how much money they
rend to gratify their social ambition. Ts
"get there," ai an American friend of
ne phrases It, la the one thing that
nts. They do "aet there" and the T
there, and they never grumble at t!-.r
price they pay for social eminence. They
are often accused of vulgarity, but never
of 'meannets. That Is not an Arner.can
trait.
But they are responsible for a lot of
meanness on the psrt of several royalltes
and other exalted personages when t'tln
assure .them social jposltion. Time war,
before the advent of the American multi
millionaire and multl-mllllonalresa when
It was a recognized rule of English so
ciety that some return should be made for
hospitalities accepted. Otherwise the hos
pitalities were apt to cease.
Most Blessed to Give.
The Americans did not play the game
that way. They applied tho Biblical rule
that It la more blessed to give than to re
ceive. Eg long as the recipients vof their
hospitalities conferred social prestige by
their presence they didn't care whether
or no they got any return !n kind. South
African magnates adopted the same meth
ods and ao did .others who were v.-ll'.ir.c
to utilise their wealth to get into the so
cial ' swim. This has led to the develop
ment of a glorified class of social
"spongers," who reverse the Biblical
adage and apparently succeed In getUns
a lot of enjoyment tu't of life at other
folk's expense.
They were never more In evidence than
during last season. Day In and day out,
night after night, they went from one
social function to another without ever
attempting anything In the way of hos
pitality on their own account.
A lady-ln-waltlng showed me the other
day tho list -sf a princess' engagements
from June last to tho end. of the first week
of August and this Is something like what
I read: v
For June there were appointments for
twenty-five dinners, most of them being at
the houses of Americans, and South Afri
can millionaires and certain members of
the British aristocracy. She had aocepted
engagements for fifteen afternoon parties,
nine dances and nine invitations to occupy
boxes at the opera. For July she was six
and seven doep 4n engagements for every
day and night. The first week In August
she spent on board a yacht at Cowea as
the guest of a rich American.
What Princess Uave la Hetorn.
During the whole season her own hospi
talities amounted fo two small dinner pur
ties of twenty-five people each.- They wcro
given two nights In succession tn order that
the same floral decorations might do for
. both. Her royal highness also dlssovered
that by engaging extra service for two
nights Instead of one she got it at a
cheaper rats. '
There la a well-known and Immensely
popular, serene highness, one of the smart
est bachelors In town, whose Invitations
come by the score and who Is feted and
vllcomed every where., yet has never, given
a cup of tea to Ma friends. But ha la
Kill welcomed;' Indeed, the desire to se
cure him for functions grows more ardent
and the rivalry more keen, and this among
the richest and foremost people in society.
King Edward always makes some return
for the hospitalities he receives, but there
are members of his family who practically
recognise no suoh obligation.
The csar's sister, the Grand Duchess
Olga, has for a. long time given her admira
tion and affection to American women. She
has been touring about through Switzer
land, Germany and Austria during the last
three or four months and has always sought 1
out Americana whom she regards as "the
only people worth cultivating." Mrs. Glas
gow Is one of her special friends, and new
I hear she nas Invited her and her husband
and small daughter the latter was voted

Duchess Rabid Democrat.
Her Imperial highness' Is a rabid demo
erat, and it Is said she and her brother,
the emperor, have in consequence of her
opinions not been -on speaking terms for
months. She is fascinating and vivacious
and a wonderful dresser. Her uncle by
znarrlage, King Edward, himself something
of a democrat, ventured, however, to ask
her to be "discreet" and not to express
herself so definitely on social questions In
the presence of strangers.
Mrs. Jamfcs Henry Smith with her young
daughter, Anita Stewart, la now residing
at Pyt House, Tlsbury, Wiltshire, with
Mrs. Anthony Drexel, who has abandoned
a number of country house visits la Eng
land In order to be with her sister, who
Is still In great grief over the death of
her husband and refuses to be comforted.
Mrs. Smith makes a pathetic figure In
her deep mourning. Had Mrs. Smith been
an Engllah woman she would by this tl.-ne
have lightened considerably her "weeds.
Wa cannot fall to admire ths great re-
speot wtnon ths American widows always

LORD
LONDON, Oct. 6. (Special. )-As vigor-1
oua as aver mentally. tnmih inin.wh&l en 1
fcebled physically by age, Lord Bramp
ton, , better known to the world as Sir
Henry Hawkins, the most famous of mod
ern English judges, has JUst celebrated
his ninetieth birthday. The son of a coun
try solicitor, he Is one of the few in
stances of a greatly successful man, who,
at the very start of his career, struck
the line In which his natural powers best
fitted him to excel. ,
His sucoess, however, was not rapidly
attained. For aome years after his call
to the bar his Income did not exceed an
average of $500 per annum. But a few
years after he was made a queen's coun
sel, at the age of 31, his law practice was
bringing him In $80,000 a year. His ac
ceptance of a judgeship when he was 69
Involved a great pecuniary sacrifice on
his part, for his official salary was1 only
(25,000. As counsel he figured In most of
the Important cases of his time. The part
he played inrthe great. Ttehbomo- case. In
which he thoroughly exposed the fraudu
lent pretensions of the plebeian claimant
to a baronetcy, put the tlnlshlng touches
to his fame as a lawyer. - I
What he .was like in his oross-examlnlng
prima may be Instanced by Potto Brown's
case, narrated In his own reminiscences.
Potto was a miller from whom corn had
been stolen, but when he should have ap
peared In tha witness box he waa not to
be found. Hawkins waa for the defense,
and Potto had heard Hawkins cross-examine
In the case before his own. So lie
drove oft In his trap as fast as his nag
could carry him, leaving behind this part
ing message: "If Hawkins wants me ho
will have to find me out and fetch mo.
I'm d d If I'm going to be cross-examined
by him If I know It! I'm off. Tell
him what I say, 'ostler."
As a judge he had a great reputation
for severity which was not altogether de
served. He could temper Justice with
mercy. In capital casas it was his custom
to postpone sentences until all the prison
ers had been tried, so that he might look
through his notes with a vlsw to making
the most of extenuating circumstances..
"Don't pay any attention to What I am
going to read," ha said In sentencing to
death (without the black cap) a poor girl
who had killed her child. "No harm will
be done to you. I am sure you did not
know, tn your great sorrow and trouble,
what you were doing; and I will take care
to make such representations concerning
your caae. In the proper quarters, thst no
harm shall befall you In the way of pun
ishment." It was to the chronic criminal and tha
brutal evil-doer, especially If he had
wronged a woman, that Judge Hawkins
was a terror. At the Old Bailey a police
man who was giving evidence agalnat a
prisoner on trial before Judge Hawkins,
waa asked what tha man had said when
he waa. first charged. The constables
whlnoed out a nocketbook and read wlth-
out ,mne: -prisoner said when oharged.
God grant I be not fried before 'Awklns,
or he will bring down my hslrs In sorrow
t0 tne ve.' Evert the judge laughed
innumerable stories of his wit are told,
I A pr,0ner who came before him for trial

plea ftnd otciared himself Innocent., The
Jury aCqu!ted him. Bald the Judge: "Prls-

Consequently you aro discharged."
Equally good was his retort to a bishop
who claimed that the Episcopal office was 1
superior to the judicial, Inasmuch as the
most a judge could say to a man was,
"Tqu be hanged,'' while a bishop could
say "You be damned." "Yes," replied
Lord Brampton, "but when I say to a
man, 'You be hanged' ho is hanged."
He always kept his hair clipped close and
that, combined with his pugnacious cast of
features, gave him a decidedly pugilistic
appearance. On one' occasion, he was re
turning from the race track in a crowded -train.
Three or four sports, somewhat the
worse for liquor and looking for trouble,
entered the compartment In which the judge
was seated and began to take' liberties with
him. Confident that if he gave them a
good view of himself they would 'recognize
him and be terrified at their temerity, he
removed his hat and, looking bis sternest,
said, "Don't you know who I am?" The
i worst of the offenders looked at his square
jaw and close-cropped head and shrank into
a oorner exclaiming, "S'elp me, Bob-a

There are In all "400 grouse moors In
Scotland. This year but a tiny percentage
are being shot over by Americans. So
say the agents, and It surprises them to
say ao. It is the rich Londoner who Is
doing the spending of the money In Scot
land this year. There are also a good
many moors which have not rented.
Gronse Most Expensive.
Grouse tills Mar will cost the sports
man who Is the host and footing the bill
of each moor, anything between $10 and
ii a bird. Tho increased cost is due to
ihe scarcity. When tho season officially
opened last month grouse sold in the mar
ke.s as high as apiece, but are now
uonn to H.De.
In the expenses one must not alone
count the rent of the moor. The 'Scotch
moors bring in a rental of two and a
half million dollars for the season of a
few weeks. But In addition to one's rent
of several thousand dollars there Is the
cost of the establishment.
With half a uozen guests who shoot
there would be half a dozen or more serv
ants. Then come automobiles, horses and
traps, outdoor servants, the gamekeepers,
the "gillies" or under-keepers, the beaters,
who are usually the shepherds, and their
families at $1.50 per duy each, and with
dlty or sixty of these the total swells
quickly. Then comes the Item of supplies.
These in most cases havo to be brought
over the hills and glens on pony-back
twenty miles or mor. In' this way coal
which should cost $5 a ton amounts to
Wi before It Is delivered.
Railway charges for transportation of
the party, the horses, carriages and so
on. Is very high. Carefully calculated, It
an be sd that for a "stag" party the
.st Is six times the price of the rent. If
-dies are Included In the party then the
ost Is anything from ten times the rent
.pward.
Modern Shoot a Slang-liter.
The modern shoot Is well named a "bat
je." It Is slaughter Indeed. An Amerl
an resident of London, who ought to
.now, told me the other day that Amerl
ans after their first season at shooting in
England become disgusted at the . "sport,"
.nd therein Ilea the secret of the failure
it Americans to spend their good dollars
,o lavishly this shooting season.
Nowadays In gri se shooting the guns
nation themselves In throe or four butts
r turf shelters specially constructed here
ind there on the moors. Then the beaters
Jrlve the game to them. The pheasant
ahoola are even greater slaughters. The
sportsman In the United States hunts his
game and shoots it when he or his dog
tiush it. In such hunting there is grand
exercise, and one Is on tho tiptoe of ex
pectation all the time. But her the shot
is given a station and , pheasants, rabbits,
hares, all manner of game are driven
toward the guns. The shooting Is fast
and furious, but at close quarters, and the
game is so tame and ao thick that If "any
one missed one shot he Is almost bound to
hit something else. From the American
viewpoint It is not sport, but a licensed
slaughter Indulged In by only the rich.
The crack shots of England, Earl de
Grey, Lord Walslngham and the prince
of Wales, are really wonderful with the
shot gun and the rifle, too. Yet their
bags prove how tame and thick ths game

la and that It la not hunted In the Amerk
ran fashion. Lord Walslngham In on
day shot V.070 grouse, the world's record.
As readers nisy remember this Is ths mas,
whose hobby It Is to shoot wasps on tht
wing with a miniature rifle. The prlnc
of Wales has no record as yet, but he
Is conceded to be the third best shot l
this country. He can shoot in any klnj
of position, but his favorite Is to hold hl
gun far out on the barrel with his left
hand.
Record of Rarl de Gray.
Earl de Grey holds a marvellous rectTd
that of having four dead pheasants In
the air at one time fast ahootlng, In
deed, considering that he had to rtv an
take a gun from his loader In order t
fro the four shots. Earl de Grey Is trt
great friend of King Edward. He always
stands behind ths king and If his majesty
nilS!-es, Karl de Grey accounts for lli
bird or hare. His wife was the widow
or the late Lord Lonsdale, the tallest
woman In her day and the greatest beauty
of England. She does not shoot, but there
are many other noted women In England
who do.
Mention of women brings me to tht
third outstanding feature of this year's
shooting season. Women are very much '
tabooed. I'p to the present year women
have been very much wanted at shooting
parties. They helped to enliven things
In the evenings snd on such stormy days
when shooting was Impossible or unpleas
ant. Last year It may be remembered
Queen Alexandra accompanied King Ed
ward when the latter was a shooting guest
at Rufford abbey.
She was the center of a battue when
dead, wounded' and bleeding pheasants
rained on her; wounded hares crept t
the shelter of her skirts In their dying
agony. A good deal was heard about thlg
scene In the newspapers, especially tha
American papers. The publicity and con
demr.ation made the king very angry and
he Issued orders that In future women
would not be persona grata at the covert
side except when luncheon was spread.
The prince of Wales Issued the same edict,
and in consequence thla year all ths
smartest shooting gatherings have been
"stag"' affairs so far as the actual sport
waa concerned.
Women Good Shooters.
The three crack women shots of Eng
land. Mrs. Asqulth, Lady Beatrice Pole.
Carew and the marchioness of Grah.im;
have not been seen In a "drive" once this; .
season. And amid the shooting lodges o(
Bcotland there have been few women.
The ahootlng lodge has proved mora
popular this year than tho occupancy ot
the big castle which stands somewhera
on the Sc.qtch moor. But the accommndu
tlon of the lodges Is usually limited, to
the spectacle Is seen throughout Scotland
of the shooters or their servanta occupy
ing the national school houses as bed
rooms. It happens to be the vacation
time In Scotland and the scattered llttla
achool houses are generally near to tha
shooting. The various school boards ara
glad to get the few dollars' rental offer4
for a week or two's use and so tha
scholars' forms are plied In a corner and
beds take their place. ,
In A few weeks from now the grousa
and black game and hares will be given
a rest and a Chance to get fat again fo
future alaughter and tho hunters will go t
after red deer in the Scotch forests.
Nearly all the Americana who have rented!
Scotch estates for the season have got
both moor and stag dees, forest Thera
are In the woods plenty of fallow deer,
but these are killed oft by the crofters,
for they are greedy for young vegetation.
But from authentic reports of the best
known sporting estate agents, both tha
shooting and deer stalking seasons thin
year will be failures If the viewpoint la
taken of the output of American dollars.
The fox hunting season promises better
things, for la England as well as Ireland
many noted Americans are negotiating for
houses In the neighborhood of ths craclg
packs of hounds. MAYNARD EVANS. f
