A peeress who holds her title in her own right will be unable to present at Court the niece whom she is chaperoning through the season. The old-established Court edict by which no unmarried woman can make presentations at Court will hold good in the case of Lady Ravensdale, who succeeded by special remainder to her barony from her distinguished father, the late Lord Curzon. The niece whom she is bringing out this winter is Miss Vivien Mosley, only daughter of Sir Oswald Mosley by his first wife, Lady Cynthia Mosley. Lady Cynthia, Lady Ravensdale, and Lady Alexandra Metcalfe were a devoted trio of sisters. Miss Mosley, who will be 18 in February, has just returned from a finishing school in Paris. Lady Ravensdale may decide to give a ball for her during the season. The Court ban which will prevent Lady Ravensdale from presenting Miss Mosley is stringently enforced. T here is no exception to this rule, even in the ease of :> ■ -n who is a peeress in her own right. -
