We are in the midst of a whirl of bus iness and pleasure, living "fast and furi ously." Two drawing-rooms in ono week; the opera re-opened; balls and dinners galore, big weddings on the tapis all this iooks like a brilliant sea eod. The holding of two drawing-rooms only three days apart has set modistes, florists, carriage proprieters and photog raphers almost crazy, In many West End establishments double the amount of work has to be turned out in a given time, whereas, because of the provisiona of the Factory act, employers are de barred from taking on extra hands (owing to want ot space) and also from keeping the workers half an hour over their time. The second drawing.room was held by Princess Christian, as the Princess of Wales bad an attack of in flammation of the eyes. She caught cold at the first drawing-room when it was noticed that, although very magnifi cent in white and unusually bejeweled, she was not looking as well as usual. This may have been partly owing to her feelings at having to suffer the presence of a certain lady. Our debutantes seem to "cumo ouV younger every year. The most noticed ware Lord Rosebery's two girls (though the elder des not count as a debutante, having been p-ivately presented to the Queen), Lady Alice Montagu, Lady Clementine Hay (Lady Tweeddale's daughter, and the Hon. Alecandra Fellows, the Duke of Marlborough's cousin. The wonderful old Duchess of Cleveland came to see her grand-daughters in their first triumph, and Lord Rosebery also attended. His devotion as a fathor "s to be understood, for the girls are really charming, so unaffected and sweet. But really 1 must first speak of -'Granny," for she bore herself 60 gallantly in her pansy velvet and gor geous Indian embroideries (collected during her recent tour), that uo one could have imagined her to be verging on her eightieth year! The younger girl. Lady Margaret Primrose, evidently wishes to be known as "Lidy Peggy," for she was actually so described ir the official list of presentations! Her full namo is Margaret Etienne Hannah for bho was a New Year s gift to her father, However, she wore Marguerites as a shoulder-knot, and had a train of Mar guerite brocade to her Eoft white chiffon gown. Thoelcer sister, Sybil, had a pithetic touch in her attire. Her dress was like her sister's in orery respect, except that its snowy whiteness was re lieved by Hannah de Rothschild rcses, the soft pink blossoms named after the beloved mother whose loss can never be made up, and seems more keenly felt with advancing womanhood. Lady Sybil has always said: "When I first go to Court I will wear mamma's roses." The Duchess of Portland and Lady Warrick were both magnificent in lace that had once belonged to Empress Jo sephine. "That woman," as a certain royal lady always calls the radiant Countess, was a dream in white, gold embroideries and a pearl-bespangled veil. She looked q'jite restored to health, and evidently means to be seen a gcod deal tbis season . By the way, her baby boy's christening, at Wirwick Cast!e. sounded very fine on paper, as the sponsors were the Duchess of York, Lord Rosebery, Lord Leigh and Mr. Cecil Rhodes, but Lord Leigh was actually the only sponsor present. The child received her family name. May nard, so he is the Hon. Maynard Gre-ville. At the latest Drawing Room the American presentations included Miss Catherine Eddy, sister of the Ambassa dor's secretary; Mrs. John Hayes Drum mond (whose husband became famous at the time of the Jameson raid); Mrs. John Goldsmith Paynter and Miss Lydia Cornell. Miss Hay attended the Drawing-Room. The msst notable pre sentation was that of Joan Wilson, the future Duchess of Manchester. She is tslland slender, looks a mere school girl, though she is rasher a learned joung lady; and was pronounced to be very well suited by her curious white silk Duchess train, edged with classic laurel leaves. (The Duchess train is the newest thing, and is put on some thing like an Empire coat. On any but slender figures it is cumbersome). Enid Wilson was dressed like her sister. She is by far the lovelier, though both are beautiful. I wonder whom she will marry? I told you that there was a disagree ment between the families about the young Duke's engagement, and that this was why Mrs. Wilson would not attend the same Drawing Room as the Duchess of Manchester.
