Society today
Society still exists today, in London probably more than anywhere else in the world. Although the Season is virtually non-existent, as Parliament now meets for most of the years, and the husbands and wives of these Members of Parliament have their own careers, many of the annual events which defined the Season still occur. Ascot is still the center of the millenary world, and annual Balls, now mainly fund-raisers, are still held for all who are invited. The following, taken from the October, 1997 issue of "The Tatler" shows that, for some, the London Season still carries on.
