After q CAREFUL observation and experience 10
foreign cities, I am justified in this conclusion.
The Sunday is day of leisure to the moneyeJ
classes Of society, 70 whom all must be made
easy, and VI toll to the poorer. 10 the richer
classes II Is a gala day bat to those who provide
the dress, pleasures, and excursions Of those a

Sunday is the day for the finest performances at
The theatre and opera. 1t is day for sumptu-
