TO BE IN GOOD SOCIETY.
Culture and Refinement to Have Prece.
dence Over Birth and Rank.

dence Over Birth and Rank.
High moral character and education,
whether it DO of booklore or that of obser-
walton and good example, polish of man
ner and good habits, are the requisites Of
good society. One whose ideas of social
equality were rather democratic than ex-
elusive was heard to remark, Zone man is
born just as good as another and a great
deal better than some" Unless the son of
gentleman be gentleman he is no more
entitled to the name suggesting refinement
than q man is entitled to the name of gen.
eral whose father before him was general.
One must win his own laurels or 90 un-
crowned.
Birth to marked degree is an accident,
and those who are considered to be we'll
born are ofttimes the most Objectionable
elements Of society and the most danger
GUS associates. One need but watch closely
the daily record Of those on both sides of
the Atlantic whose birth gives them pres
tige in society, to prove that education
and cultivation of high morals and man
ners go farther toward making refined So
ciety than all the good or blue blood that
ever flowed through the veins of royalty
and the nobility. OF course, it would be
the height of absurdity to argue that all
men are born equal and it would be as IL
logical to argue against the superiority Of
blooded animals of the race course over
the ordinary draft horse. However, the
nobility of culture and refinement should
have precedence over the nobility of birth
and rank.-Philadelphi Press.
