Show KOTAIiTT IN CANADA. Lome and Louise do not Bud their lot cast in pleasant places. They are betweon two social fires and are being roasted, metaphorically. The edict has gone forth that no ladies shall enter tho vice-regal presence whose boBoms aro not exposed and shoulders shoul-ders bared. Now, tho average bust anatomy of Canadian ladies ia not unlike the same thing in other countries. All styles good, better and best can ba found in the Dominion, Do-minion, and while the ninj'irily of the fashionables vi the Uvd ruay not bo averse tu txhibiiii.g lo the ynze of royal ey oj their eliouLiern, aev.ka and adjacout territory, a luigo number of equally nvpc;:Ub!e( wealthy and refined re-fined girls have bteu less fortunate m structure, and therefore prefer trusting to royal imagination than lo rea! optics. TheoO latter ard savagely criticising the imperious Louise, and while hiding their charms under lace and high cut corsages, they proles-neverlhelcse proles-neverlhelcse that said charms actually ezist, but shall not be made available for public delectation and scrutiny, even at the risk of beiug barred from tho presence of a princess. There is another class of patriots who have lived tjo near a rcpablio (though without- falling into republican ways of worshiping titles and reverencing royalty) tj admire or coincide with tho cold, formal manner in which tho young couple acknowledge obeisance, nodding stiilly to the more diiOiguished of their visitors, and preserving a dignified frigid attitude toward the others. On the other hand, thero is a formidable portion of Canadian society that cbargei a lack of eiclusiveness on the part of the representatives of the crown. It is said that any fellow tho feminine being included iu theeipression can gain admittance to the drawing room receptions, provided he or she has on a decent suit of clothes, tbe dress of the female, of course, bsicg, in vulgar vul-gar phrase, low-neck. Toe latest regulation order is that "no vehicles excepting l.ndau9, barouches and broughams, with pairs of horses and properly attired drivers," shall be allowed al-lowed iu any procession in honor o the couple. As might bave been expected, ex-pected, this is regarded as a direct snub of those owning butcher carts, market wagons, trucks and drays, while it pleases tbe aristocracy. -Oj the whole, tho "devil is to pay" generally gen-erally in Canadian socie:y, acd Lome and Louise are bein? fi -ret ly and mercilessly raked over t it social coals. If the royal pair want to lire in a community where it will be impossible im-possible lor them to i;ive offjess, a: d where everybody will Jo them pruuJ. let them cross the border ititj the it pablic, when our ladies will scissor (.:! as much ol the lop ccJs of. their dresses as whl please the most fastidious fastidi-ous connoisseur in female shoulders in the realms of rjyaity, and our men ( will be satisfied with a wink, a ncd, or evcu a kick from tbe titled ones. c |
