High Society: Advice as to Social Campaigning, and Hints on the Management of Dowagers, Dinners, Debutantes, Dances, and the Thousand and One Diversions of Persons of Quality (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from High Society: Advice as to Social Campaigning, and Hints on the Management of Dowagers, Dinners, Debutantes, Dances, and the Thousand and One Diversions of Persons of Quality For upward Of a generation, now, operatic and musical mat ters have gone along much as usual at our opera house. It's always dangerous to be different, or original, or divert ing. Literally, the only novel thing that has happened at the Opera this season is that the director's box, which has always been empty, was, at one performance last week, tenanted by a young gentleman in our best society, along with a tiny little friend Of his. To see this usually dim, untenanted cave so decoratively occupied was a welcome change in the monotony of a somewhat uneventful season.
