LORD AND LADY.
A Fable for Critical American Girls
Who Fancy Titles.
A certain young woman. with the rosy
checks and very bright eyes OF the typical
American girl In tennis weather, was
walking down the street ono day when she
happened to meet certain fine young fel-
low with heavy cane, LOFTY collar and q
manner even more exalted. This very
lony young man was foreign specimen.
lie came from far over the sea, in land
where long ago, when men were simple
az savages, they all bowed down to
tho rules ret up by the few who were
smart enough TO think. One of these rules
was that a son OF q gun must be gun, no
mater how we'll he may disguise IL. The
guns were lords, earls, barons, counts, aud
various other varieties, and some Of them
wero only guns In q barbarous, brutal
way, and In these days would rank a. low
a. any professional bouncer In some small
groggery. The sons Of these guns having
the unusual advantages Of wealth and
power conferred by their fathers, managed
to hold on TO 1t and hand down some 10
their descendants Of these days; but intel
lectually and physically they have pretty
well gone to the bow-wows, and the
men who to-day wear the titled trade mark
are interesting specimens Of strange
social deformlty. They stand In the
full blaze Of the light Of our civili-
cation, and In spite of the teach
