Auy respectable American girl can be presented at the court of St .lames If sbe bave sufficient influence with some lady who is even mildly persona grata at court And when a girl or a matron bas been presented then the matter nluety-nine cases out of a bundred comes to an abrupt end. v The social cachet amounts to no lain has made an Inquiry Into your an tecedents ami found nothing to their history to cause comment. In the case of Americans the inquiry cannot be anything but perfunctory. Some people imagine that a presenta tion at court Is followed immediately by an Invitation to the next state din ner or the next state concert or the next state tea and muffins. Nothing of the kind. You must attain or inherit great social importance or be repre sentative in some way before the king and queen ask you to dine with them.
