NO doubt manners just now appear to

Then, in all probability, we will see a
reaction in favor of formality. and our
young men and maidens will bow and

after the manner of the eighteenth CEN

only eXternals and amount to but very
little. The main fact is that our man
ners In essentials are growing less, not
more rough. If we take the wider view
OF the social situation, we shall see that
men are less, not more .disagreeable than
they used to be. Let anyone who doubts
