many things, which, il seen and heard

But time changes minds as we'll rs
manners, though even now when making
changes from one circle to another, it
often requires that adaptability which
coulu be said found in one who has au-

cal changes not only appear in drawing
room repartee, street dress, etc., among
people, but also IN the conveniences and

travel is one instance. A few years ago,
comparatively, one had to consume much
valuable time in an uncomfortable way
to make what is now thought nothing OF
