in a certain class OF aristocratic society,
that all perspective should be destroyed,
and the scale of conduct so readjusted
that crime, solecisms. vice, and ignor-
ance are all on about the same level, and
the fashion of the moment assumes on

will be observed that the implication of
the author is that 1t is a good deal more
serious offense for people TO dine in a
public restaurant now than to attend
brutal prizefghts in the days of the
minuet and the queue.
There is a queer mixture of sense and
nonsense in a later chapter, In which it
is insinuated that simplicity OF life in
the wealthy is sort OF hypocrisy or
affectation. The writer seems incapable
of understanding that n wealthy nan

and followed by his poorer neighbors; ;
that a wealthy woman may sincerely
feel that when she brings her daughters
up to understand housekeeping and
dressmaking. and to think little of lux

muHitudes who fall under their influ-
ence and who can only be harmed by
initiating standards of living which
they cannot really reach. All such ac-

manifestly wise reflection that no. per-

RICHMOND INVESTMENTS.

Several days ago it was stated in these
columns that a young man of intelli-

a few thousand dollars in money,
desired to put himself in com
municat1on with any business or manu-
featuring concern in Richmond which
desired partner, or with amy person
VINO would make him a suggestion. IN

mis- is a new departure for a news
paper and II may seem to some that we
are employing our editorial columns for
advertising purposes. We have consid-
cred the matter thoroughly, however,
md We are quite clear that this is per-
!ecuy legitimate newspaper enterprise,
md while il may be a departure, it is
entirely consistent with the spirit and
junction OF the press. 1t seems TO us
that a newspaper should be a medium
OF communication. First of all. il should
communicate news to its readers, then
VI should communicate views but in ad-
diuon TO all this, II should be the means
OF communication between men in bust
ness II there are men in Richmond
Who nave money to invest and who are
desirous of forming a business associa-
uon, and there are other men in Rich
mond VINO would like to have a partner
in business. 1t Is entirely within the
sphere and function of a newspaper to
pat these men into communication with
one another.
The Times desires TO act as a friendly
so-hetween and bring ali such men to-
setner. All communications for either
side Will be received in confidence ana
