THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, APRIL 19, 1867.
THE BEftUX BOHDES" OF PARIS AND LONDON.
From London Society.
It ia now some months since one of the
leading and moat popular journals of the day
directed the publio attention to a very remark
able phase of society in Paris. It seems that
a certaiu portion of the beau mondc, of that
capital, impelled by an incredible impulse
(whether for good or evil who can toll ?) made
advances to the d mi vwnda, and both sought
and obtained admission within the precincts
of that society. It almost surpasses beliof,
that women of fair reputation, of good descent,
and of high repute in the best l'arisiau soci
ety, fchould, for the sake of an idle curi
osity, condescend to desire au acquaintance
with the life, manners, and customs of a cer
tain class of women whose position and cir
cumstances denote the very reverse of purity
and chastity, and who keep a kind of court
which is attended by all the men of wealth
and fashion between twenty and sixty. It is
possible that the beau mondc may have desired
to solve the problem why there existed so
great a disinclination for matrimony, and what
those charms were wbicli attracted so many
from their homes ami made them truants.
They may have wished to reclaim some who
had wandered from their allegiance, but it was
a rash experiment, and one which nothing
could justify. Their presence sanctioned
that Against which their whole life was,
or ought to have been, a protest.
They descended from their high posi
tion, and if they have sullied their own
reputation they have no one to blame but
themselves. If mere idle curiosity was their
motive they were, of course, still more without
excuse. We all know how fatal a gift curi
osity is, and how much woe it has worked.
Our common mother Kve was not proof against
it, and we are sullerers. How could they
Lope to escape its penalties if they were bent
upon indulging it at all risks f Hut there
is a much graver question underly
ing this peculiar phase of Parisian soci
ety. Js it that iu I rance there is a dif
ferent code of morals to that which prevails
wherever Christianity is taught .' Is it that
French morality and French decency are
names without a meaning, and that Paris' is
more honeycombed with vice than any other
city ? Is it that the Court is less pure or the
general tone of society more corrupt? Is it
that li ome influences are unknown or depre
ciated It is a remarka le t.ict, when taken
in combination with the ilomishing condition
of the demi-monde and the recognized "status"
it has in l'aris, that a French family is pro
verbially small; so much so that the contrary
is looked upon as quite exceptional, which a
French lady of our aciiuaintane snoko of as
being I'l'iuiH)' lis Anijitiix.
It was not long alter our attention had been
drawn to the existing state of things, that we
read an account of the magnificence of a house
in l'aris belonging to a lady whose ambition
it was to eclipse all her rivals in luxe. In ad
dition to the boundless expenditure which she
lavished upon it, she ordered, it was said,
four pictures of herself to be painted after a
peculiar fashion, which shall be nameless.
In one of them, which has been completed,
she is represented as Cleopatra, as she
rises up in her unveiled beauty before
the ''dull, cold-blooded GVsar," into
whose presence she had been intro
duced within the folds of a carpet. This
speaks volumes, and needs no comment. If
such lionnvs are the raire ot the tashionable
and artistic world of l'aris, we cannot be sur
prised that there should be any approxima
tion to an tntentc cordial between the beau
mondc twd the demi mondc. We remember to
have heard some years asro an l-hiidishman.
ivho had married a foreigner, declare that he
voulu never allow his wite to have a trench
vonian for her friend, as he believed there
vas scarcely one rood one amongst them.
il'his was a sweeping condemnation which
sve were not slow to protest, beoause we
lave ourselves known several who are
xamples of all that is good and pure. 15ut
lifter the revelations that have lately been
uaue. we are inciiuea to iear mat general
ociety is not conspicuous for its morality.
l'aris has reached a climax in what is gene
ally called civilization that cannot be sur
passed. She has adorned and beautified her-
ielf with a rapidity and splendor that are
without a parallel. She is the most beautiful
Iapital in the world the queen of cities; she
las put out of sight all that can oll'end the
aste of the most rehned criucs; she has
jlriven further and further back all the signs
Jf poverty and labor which might oiTend the
ye or suggest a thought inconsistent with the
(opulence andgayety with which it is her desire
to impress her visitors; she is a very Sybarite
of cities; but with all her magnificence of
decoration, with all her lavish outlay and
ever-changing caprice, which constitutes her
Jthe leader of fashion throughout Iiuropo, she
carries withm herself the elements of her
own ruin, 'which cannot be far distant. Ho
society can last long which is so rotten at its
core, where profligacy reigns, and all sense of
propriety is at a discount.
The history of the world supplies abundant
instances of cities which have reached a
climax of refined splendor, and, being lifted
up in their pride have overlooked virtue,
and have been dashed to the ground,
and have crumbled to ruin;
nor need France go far to look for
such an example. In the period before the
great French Revolution society had become
corrupt. They who ought to have been
WStlm pies of virtue made use of their high
J and exalted position for the indulgence of
tjieir evil passion, una saw m n urnv oppor
tunities for a vicious life, liven now men
tremble at the recollection of the awful judg
ment that fell upon them, which has left that
fair and beautiful country in a state of fer
ment from which there seems no repose, and
which can only be kept under by the tirm
Land of a great military power which is ever
r.adv to renress the first indication of the
I popular mind daring to think for itself.
Y e nave saia mere is a uot-yoi an fe. ,..
Jiuestion underlying the present aspect 01
! 1 . if :t 1.,. (lint tltura la
society in l'aris. way it uumo iu. .
J throughout society, in every pan ui iu
world, a general uprising against restrictions
of all kinds i Freedom and liberty are the
watchwords of all parties and all nations,
and the separation between tnem ana licen
tiousness and license is very narrow and
quickly got over. Under their high-sounding
names much wrong i done; spoliation
and lawlessness shelter themselves there,
rwl Vverv one claims for himself the right
a Btffitns to him cood in his own
eves. It is impossible to help seeing that
there is a growing dislike to all autho
rity, to everything which imposes n letter
Won the human will, emiureu a. 4u
l, ., raf mints of parental authority,
fmarried people to live more separate lives,
.. vi.. a in interment on their teachers,
congregations to dismiss their preachers; t ie
.,.......':..,.,. nnn.rht their bishops; pohti-
Mf III ll.LI Ft Ll' Dili . J " " . .
claiiH to foment discord and rebellion when it
BuiVs their purpose to do so. The disposition
to reduce the law of both Church and State
down to the very minimum of its letter is one
of the prevailing faults of the age. The first
promptings of the human intellect of the pre
sent nay is to dispute, step ny step, every de
mand which is made upon it in the name of
authority; and we believe it to bo this temper
which tends to the severance of those ties and
the deprecation of those maxims which are the
bond and safeguard of society.
There are certain usages and customs better
known by the somewhat indefinite term of the
comiuan'cm of society, which have beiomo to
some extent law, and have a prescriptive right
to our respectful attention and consideration.
Against these the mind of the nineteenth century
relK'Is. Old customs and traditions are treated
with the utmost contempt and set at naught,
and in the manners of the rising gene
ration there is expressed the most de
cided resistance to that delicacy of
thought and consideration for others which
formerly served to make men keep out of
sight any infringement against good morals.
It may bo said that the motive was low that
it was a mere feeling of human respect, and,
as such, of but little value ; yet, even if so, it
surely had the advantage over that most cul
pable disregard for appearances which leads to
the public exhibition of vico. In the fact that
men dare not associate publicly with vicious
companions there lies a protest on the
part of society in general against their
evil doings; but the moment they cease
to restrain their conduct within due
limits, and unblushingly pursue their course,
and society still tolerates them and winks at
their effrontery, there is no longer any safe
guard against its utter demoralization.
We owe a vast debt to those who have raised
their voices in condemnation of the attitude of
the luan mondc towards the demi mondc of
l'aris. Wo do not. entertain the opinion held
by some that it is better not to speak of these
things, but simply to ignore them as if they
did not exist; for if we have a serious malady,
or a wound in any part of our bodies, we do
not gain anything by pretending that we have
it not; and we hold that it is, to say the least,
unwise to shut oui eyes to the fact that a re
volution of an important character has taken
place in society.
In public matters there is nothing wrong in
pointing out a scan lal where it exists. To
ferietout a neighbor's faults, and to expose
them to the public gaze, is an infringement
of the law of charity. Dut that which is a
blot in the intercourse of individuals with
each other, chamcloondike, chances its hue
altogether when it becomes a question of
nation against nation. National customs,
national tastes, national faults, area safem:irkv
lor other nations to hit at pleasure. In the
first place, what is national is more or less
public property there is no exposure of
secret taults, and, m the second
place, the principle of self-protection
justifies it, because we may avert evil from
ourselves by noting its existence and
its ruinous consequences elsewhere. We
may ellect a kind of moral quarantine by
which dangerous and polluting influences
shall be kept at a distance. It becomes a
duty to note and comment upon the signs of
the times, and to take warning from every
false step which others make. We may
thereby arrest the progress of evil at home,
and expose the snares and pitfalls which lie
concealed beneath a ppecious exterior; only
let us be sure of one thing that we are
equally clear-sighted as to our own defects.
'O wnd some power the ulitte gie us
To see oursels as ltliers see us;
li WhU Hue iiiony u blunder ireo us,
And foolish notion. "
There is no fault into which we are more
apt to fall than that of being keen to detect
errors and shortcomings in others, and slow
in discovering our own. As individuals we
have no right to do so. But the law whioh is
intended to seal the lips of those who are ad
dicted to evil speaking has no such restrictive
power where nations and the public good are
concerned. It is said that, .is a rule, no class
of persons is so censorious as the highly
moral. There is something, perhaps, in the
unassailableness of virtue and morality which
tempts the virtuous to throw stones; aud we
are disposed to think that it is the tendency of
all nations, but especially of Englishmen, to
hold the customs, traditions, and manners of
all other countries cheap.
It is a matter of fact that, with all our
national pride, we are, in many instances, the
most servile copyists of tho French, aud it
will be well for us to inquire whether the
spirit of this century has not led us in the
same direction as that which we so justly
condemn in our neighbors. Are thorn any
indications of a similar movement on this side
of the Channel i Can we detect any signs and
sounds of its advent amons us ? There is no
wisdom in throwing dust in our own eyes; to
be forewarned is to be forearmed, and we are
inclined to think that there are sufhcient
grounds for apprehension.
JNot many years ago it would nave been
considered to be the very acme of indecency
and impudence for any or the thoughtless
young men who abound, more or less, in every
capital to recognize, or to appear even to
notice in public, any of those fair "unfortu
nates" who lie in wait "to hunt souls."
They would have been distressed beyond
measure at the idea that their mothers or sis
ters should suspect, much more know, of
their having formed any luunon 60 dangerous
and disreputable. 15nt such tenderness of con
science, such regard for tho proprieties of
life, scarcely remains. It is no uncommon
thing lor a young man to appear in the 1 ark
escorting a "celebrity" of this kind, aud as he
passes some lady of his acquaintance, to lilt
Ids hat in courteous recognition of her, as
though there were nothing to be ashamed ot
in his companion. Nor is it rare for a popular
character to appear at the Opera, exquisitely
dressed, and with some pretense of modesty in
her attire, in one ot the most conspicuous
boxes, surrounded by her admirers, whose
relations witness their infatuation from the
opposite tier. Nor is this all. The very
names of these women have become so noto
rious that they are in the mouths of many of
the fast young ladies of our beau mondc.
How they have come to such a know
ledge let others toll; but they speak of
them, of their "turn out," and their horse
manship, and , note their dress and style,
and can tell the "Skittles" ponies at a
distance, and the precise hour at which she
drives into the l'ark; how she wears her hat,
the color of her horse and habit, and even go
so far as to dress after her, taking their cue
from her, s if they envied her her power of
attraction. It is notorious that many of the
changes which we have witnessed of late
years in hats and petticoats have originated
from celebrities of this kind, aud we fear it is
an indication of a disposition on the part of our
beau monde to take a leaf out of the bookj of
the bean mondc of l'aris. There was also a
symptom- of a like tendency in the strange
freak which so engrossed all our fine ladies a
few years ago, when nothing would satisfy
them but 'a night at Cremorne.' They were
possessed by a pt range and most ill
advised curiosity to know something of its
attractions, aud to acquaint themselves with
one of the popular haunts of the demi mondc.
It is tiue that our noble countrywomen shut
out for the time its usual patronesses,
and monopolized it to themselves, and
that in this respect they did not go so deep
into the mire as our foreign neighbors woul 4
have done, who would have preferred it un
Komfoidized; but in other respects it exhibits
the same tendency to overstep the barrier
between them and their frail sisterhood, which
we would earnestly implore them never to
lower for any consideration. We think that,
taking all things into account, tho disposition
which exists to trample out of sight all the
finer lines which until lately regulated the
social intercouse of the upper classes, and the
very great license which is given to the tongue,
by which the line edge of modesty is blunted,
we shall do well to look at home before we are
so loud in our condemnation of others,
linrns' lines to the 'unco' guid' are never out
ol season:
''A' j e whn nro Hie (mid yourxel,
Hue pinna ami sue holv;
1 (-'vc- uneht to do bill niarlr and tell
1 our neebouiV limits and folly."
If we have as yet escaped the contamination
w hich must, w e fear, precede such an aot as
that by which the ftr wmmc of Paris degraded
itself, it is still an undoubted fact that wo are
not standing on such a pinnacle of superior
sanctity and morality that we cau reasonably
congratulate ourselves that wo are "not as
other men."
