ooWAeERs WITH BAD MANNERS.
An Englishman's Lament Over Scenes
Common In London Ball Rooms.

An Englishman's Lament Over Scenes
Common In London Ball Rooms
A writer in an English newspaper has
uttered a wall concerning the degen-
eracy of the age, and cites examples of
the great falling off in manners in
what are generally called in Great
Britain the upper circles, to prove it. If
half he says is true he makes out a
very good case.
He asserts that in London ball rooms
one finds the chaperons, ladies often of
mature years, struggling for seats like
SO many football men in scramble.
He objects to what he calls "their calm
insolence and their tricks and devices
20 get the better of one another" He
alleges that a couple of dowagers will,
when seated on each side of third,
talk across her for an hour or more so
eagerly that their chins almost meet in
front of the sufferer. Dowagers have
offended him seriously.
The critic notices the recent strin-
gent rules at the queens drawing
rooms, and says that they We're neces-
sary. Nothing milder, in his opinion,
would check the crowding and pushing
which have now converted the scene of
a great state ceremonial into a lively
bear garden. Then these is the i'll
hammered chatter with which occu-
pants of stalls and boxes at the thea
ters interrupt the performance. This
censor of public manners finds that the
most hopeless feature is the Behavior
of the rising generation.
