the altitude Of their chins. An Amell-
can visitor to England once expressed |
his regret to me that the notables Of
tige British isles did not go, round with
large printed labols on their backs tel
ing who they We're, SO that stranger
would not be compelled to follow the
example OF Theodore Hook, who, mcpt-
ing q distinguished looking man or the
Strand. went up to him and Inquired if
he was anybody IN particularly The
American plaintiwely said, when | re-
marked thW the nobility might objent
to being labeled, that it.would merely
be rcvcrting to an, cid custom which
had been allowed to fall into disuse.
In ancient times tho swclls carried
their labe]s on their Shields drawing
pictures thereon because, as n gcucr:ll
rule. they were not able to write Then,
when you met Il knight out in London,
oil you had to DO was to const1lt yolu
illustrated catalogue OF the titled FAM,
iliess-for the year 1892, for instance e..
and you spotted your man ut once and
knew whether 'it wns better to take 10

had any vnluables about you if was
safer to make n hasty move elsewhere
He suggested THAT if the house OF lords
would consent to wear large numerals
on their manly bosons, and If some
publisher would issue Il numbered cat
