A glance tliroti(j;li tho lists ol' those who have boon commanded to the four evening Courts :it Buckingham Palace tyJiis year indioatos a notable increase in tins number of presentations from the IWnipire overseas, and the siime may lie said, to a lessor degree, in the case of the United States, stateu a London writer. Presentations are now made in much slower time than was the ease at one period, and thi.s is welcomed by the brides and debutantes attending Court. The first Court of the season, in accordance with precedent, will he largely given over to ollic-ial and diplomatic circles.
Of recent years the tendency has been for the Royal circle at each evening Court to be a small one, and thi.s .s likely again to be the case.

It is officially felt that the dignity of the occasion is not enhanced by the sight of women smoking under the windows of the King's official residence.
