Thus if Dublin, aIchitecturaly speaking, il an En-
glish town, its society bears decidedly Continental
stamp And this holds good of se lower classes too.
The Celtic vivacity of temper coupled with the love
of the dolce far Riente when labor Is not immediately
rewaI dn or the reward not immediately required, s
as characteristic Of the Dublin quay porter as of the
Lombard pessant the lazz .rone of Naples The
streets in Dublin are occasionally noisy as those OF
Il Lndon but Il is the noise of ideness instead Of the
noise of business. Afer the ibcessant drudgery which
encpmbers the streets Of London, Manchester, and
Liverpool this bosterous mrth, ths noisy talk these

are perfectly reeying and the manner in which pr.
vse life in contrast TO the caustral domesticty Of
Great Britain, is brought out into the public streets,

But for all ths, il you go further west or south you
find very soon ths; Dublin not only is not Ireland, but
that Dublin can scarcely be called Irish. Dublin is
