Readers Of English periodical literature
cannot fail to mark how many articles are
now written on the industrial problem.
The luxurious classes see 1t and begin to
feel that there is something going on be-
low that they do not understand. Few
Englishmen, If pressed for deliberate
opinion, would deny that there is every
likelihood OF q complete socisl and po-
litical reorganization before the end OF
this century. 1t would have occurred be-
fore this had not America furnished
an outlet for the over-crowded
working classes. For instance, in
Ireland, in spite Of coercion sets, revo-
luton is being wrought which can be but
the beginning of complete change Of sys-
tenn. When It succeeds-and It viii
surely succeed Englishmen and Scotch

MANNERS,

Another bee K has been published on
msnners. 1t is 8 great work. 1t tells
how to write & letter to the royal family
Of England, or any of the nobility. 1t
tells how to est and drink and dsnce, and
more important yet, 1t gives complete
rules for mourning. For instance @
widow must mourn for her husband
twelve months In deep black, in plsin
black for six months, and hslf .mourning
six months. Grandparents get only two
months ct deep mourning, two months OF
subdued grief in plain blsck, and two
months OF half mourning. A sister or
brother requires deep mourning fer
three months, pl.in black for six,
and half mourning three months.
Uncles snd auntF, nephews ard nleces
get pls!n black for three months; great
uLc'es and cunts plain blsck for two
months, and first cousins for two months.
This is important If true. Although it
gives 10 rules as to the proper amount OF
grief to express fer the death of an ordi
nary every day mother-in-law, by the
same token, enc should mourn, say q
fortnight in public and the greater part
OF day in private. Il Is also the proper
csper TO offer guests brandy and other
"hsrd stuff" for dinner. OF course, these
rules are not for every day people, but fer
those who can sno'd plenty of servants
and VINO are professional pleasures seek
