B.—“ The English court is discouraging to Americans.” “The queen is not fond of Ameri cans." "Queen Mary desires to preside over an old-fashioned, conservative court.’’ These statements, that will send a chill down the spines of many a cot tager at Newport or Bar Harbor and many a fond society or “subsociety” mamma whose dearest wish it is to present her debutante daughter at the Court of St. James, were made yester day by Mrs. Algernon Aspinall, who is stopping at the Vanderbilt hotel Mrs. Aspinall, whose husband is sec retary of the 'West India commission, is a noted beauty. She possesses a creamy satin complexion showing beneath the soft pink tints of peach-like bloom. "It Is too bad that the queen is not fond of Americans." she said. "Ameri cans are so delightful and interesting It is true that they are always in a rush, but that is what makes them interest ing to me. Queen Mary Old Fashioned. "But the queen wishes to maintain an English court slow, conservative, everything moving by rule and rote. Queen Mary is different in temperament from Queen Alexandra, whom the Eng lish people fairly idolize. But Queen Mary, it must be confessed, is old fash ioned in her notions.

Os course, many American women, splen did women, come within the class that is officially represented through their marriage to titled Englishmen.” Mrs. Aspinall has some decided ideas on the question of diet and proper methods of living for women. "What is your recipe for an attrac tive complexion?” she was asked. "What is the secret of the British wom an’s freshness and good looks?" "Well,” volunteered the English beau ty languidly, "do the things American women don't do." “For instance," she went on. “these are a few of the enemies to good looks, and the ruination of the American woman's complexion: "Too many Ice beverages. “Late hours. "Overheated houses. Too many social engagements. "Overeating. Insufficient rest and relaxation. “We English women know how tn rest." said Mrs. Aspinall. "And we don't hurry and fuss over things. The English people never hurry. I think the fact that Americans are always in such a frightful rush and display'such great nervous energy is what makes them so fascinating to the slow-going Englishman.” PARIS
