The only place in the car that would
fit her was next to the man on the end
of the seat, and she went for it. The
man did draw up a little, but otherwise
made no move to let the old lady in.
She had no alternative but to squeeze

THE PRICE OF STYLE.
British Society Pays an Enormous
Sum Year to the Gov
eminent.

People who want to keep up a big es.
Establishment have to pay for permission
to do so. The excise authorities see to
that.
Last year society paid into the ma.
tional exchequer by way of taxation and
as the price of style or establishment
licenses" no less sum than E740,363.
Think, first of all, what it costs to
keep "James" in all his dignity. The
exchequer values him at Is shillings
year. Two hundred and five thousand
five hundred and thirty-six licenses for
male servants We're issued last year,
and brought in revenue of 6 $4,000.
There are other ranks for carriages
than the cab rank. There is a two
guinea rank, a one-guinea rank, and the
democratic 15-shilling rank. Between
these three ranks are the greatest con-
ceivable differences. If your carriage
has four or more wheels and is fitted
to be drawn by two or more horses Tor
even mules), then you must pay e2 rs.
year for it.
But if your carriage has four or more
wheels, and is only drawn by one horse
or mule, you can have the thing for one
guinea year. And if perchance you
cannot live up to the four-wheeled
style, but are content with a carriage
Tor carD of less than four wheels, then
you can get off with a yearly payment
of Is shillings. That is the cheapest
style the government can tolerate.
Hackney carriages come under this
head, and pay the Is shillings.
Of course the 15-shilling carriages are
greatest in number. Last year 316,4S5
of them paid Is shillings apiece, in ad-
dition to 1851 hackney carriages.
People who ride in one-horse four
wheeled carriages come next in number
with 76,203 carriages. The lucky people
who ride in carriages with four wheels
or more, and drawn by two or more
horses, number 49,307.
Altogether those who ride in car
riages and carts pay 51O,s90 year for
the privilege of riding on wheels in
stead of walking. But the hackney car
rage and the two-wheeled cart pay
three-fifths of that amount.

bearings? Absolutely styleless. But if
you wish armorial bearings painted on
your carriage you must pay e2 rs for
permission, as well as something to the
painter for his skill.
If you wish to use armorial bearings
in any other way-say, on your notepa-
per-then guinea year will suffice.
More people use bearings in this way
than on carriages. Last year 6 81, 900
was received for permission to put ar
mortal bearings on carriages, and 943,-
43S to use them in other ways.
In this way is made up the e74o,363
which is paid each year for permission
to live in style. But it is only when that
is paid that the real expense begins
