"SMART" SOCIETY.
# There was an extraordinary occurrence in a well-known Paris boulevard cafe three nights ago (says the 'Chronicle'), which wiU most probably have its sequel in the English divorce court. Pour mysterious gentlemen were dining in the cafe in obviously ill-fitting dress clothes, when' to them entered a fifth. Thereupon the four guests got up and bowed. The last arrival, after a brief colloquy with the manager of the cafe', adjourned with the others to a private room upstairs to continue the interrupted dinner. After the meal had been completed they ro?e from the table, and, putting their shoulders to the door of the next room, where a lady and gentleman were enjoying a tete-a-tete dinner> forced an entrance. The scene that followed baffles description. The lady, who is Baid to be well known in London society, fled as the fifth, guest, who proved to be her 'husband, was dragged away from the prostrate body of her companion.
