Hawthorne added with seraphic coOlnesS
In English society, in n limited AMI liberal
sense. the Ioyal family set the fashions Il,
wss a good day for England when the
Queen fret took her little Prices aud
Processes out driving in the park. In
s,antly all The nurseries were eupty AMI the
sir Of Eoqland was hreatked By u beyy Of
fashionable babies. IL was very lately con
sidered bad form to see q lady driving IN a
hanson. This was felt 10 be- y restriction
so one fine day the Princess of Wales drove
q mile in one Of those vehicles, and since
thea ladies have adopted that mode Of con,

forth the fashion.
Now" continued Mr. Hawthorne, this

The higher society becomes in Eugiart the
greater IL its tendency to detcriOTa,e !srl
aud dukes are less welLbehsyod than
baronS and e~sucires because the range o.
traditions in the lOficr sphere become,
narrower and more arbitrary. The higher
ranks play SUCH tricks before one another
that it msked the angels weep and Amer
cans smile
Mr.. Hawthorne spoke Of the seamy side

We have no ten centuries behind Us, one

Mr.. Hawthorne. IL not q fee5ie-minded

PlAuSe We need not feel alarmed at the
sinister appearance OF our political methods
and social scandals. The disorder that
comes TO light has lost its power for vital
injury. We must regard with fear the man
