Of heat which the earth receives when

calculated that If the body of the sun

VULGAR CREATURES.
Faults of Hired People Who Think CIT
of Themselves.


II is vulgar for lady To go to the
thea,er or opera wearing hat that
obstructs the view u people who sit
behind her. II is yalgar because il is
needless inilclion Of serious incon-
vcnicnco upon others that really gen
teel woman would not be guilty Of
In England, ladies who appear ut the
door of the theater or opera wearing
hats, are compelled to take them of
before they are permitted To enter.
Here the valgarism is tolerated by
managers, but no woman wears the
offensive hat without imprcssng all
around her that she lacks in the
most refined qualities n a well bred
lady. One of the unerring attributes
of gentleman or n lady is considcrate
respect for the comfort of others.
1t is vulgar TO interrupt hearers mt
theater or opera by conversation.
Many do it; and, strange rs il may
seem, those who assume the highest
claims 10 social Distraction, most fire.
quently are the offenders. We have
seen thoatcr and opera box parties of
our apparently most cultivated people
hissed by the audience at opera and
theatrical performances for persistent
babbling and interruption of hearers
near to them; aud we have seen others
who well deserved to be Kissed for
the vulgarism Of disturbing scores
of hearers around them in the most inn
prcssive parts of the play. Conversa-
ton ut the theatcr or opera is an Amcri-
can vulgarism that deforms our so-called
best society, that brings it into con-
tempt with every Intelligent man and
woman.
II is vulgar for thcatcr or opera
party to enter the house after the en-
turb the cadence generally. and per-
sonally disturb all who happon to be
seated near them. 10y the confusion and
delay of party getting settled in their
seats. 1t is especially vulgar because
especially ostcntatious; IL commands
no admiration. no matter how comcly
the ladies or how fascinating tho
gentlemen; it provokcs the criticism
that common sense ever gives To tho
social pretcndcr. and it is an ostcnta-
tious display of vulgari'y.
Simplicity is one of the insepe'Hble
qualities of true gentility. and the we'll
bred woman and the well-brci man are
never forgctful of it. Simplicity in
