Mrs. Astor's classification is based on the formal

self fairly expresses the American view when he
gives the following definition: "A gentleman; kind

man is.' And wasn't it Cardinal Newman who de-
scribed a gentleman "a man who avoided giving
others unnecessary pain? In much the same spirit

Of caste, does Tennyson srg that True hearts are

Perhaps the most truly Respondent and

will be the pallium. or royal mantle. which

looms at Braintree. in Essex
Cloth of Gold.
As far back as records 60. It Is found
that cloth OF gold has invariably been the
material used for the royal mantle a. all
coronations.
But, as In things OF lesser value. there
are cloths of gold and cloths of gold: and
even that which King Edward will wear
will differ considerably in the texture Of the
weaving from that prepared for Queen Vic
toria's crowning.
Unlike the palliums OF previous sover-
eiens. the cloth OF gold of which King
Edwards will be made will be devoid OF the
usual designs of shamrock. thistles. roses
and eagles.

When completed. however. the pallium
will not be without design. for the orna-
mentation win be done by the Royal School
Of Art Needlework. the embroidery being
executed In gold and silver thread in cor
rect heraldic coIoring. the design beirs bold
and large.
Thus the weayers have had considerable
difficulties TO contend with. for not only
have they had to study to get brightness
of surface combined with n suppleness of
texture. out they have also had to produce
a material adaptable to the embroiderer's
needle.
Special gold thread is used; the woof twist
composed of two fat and one round strands
of extraordinary finenessb being faced with
most beautiful sheen.
so.r1e idea of the remarkably fine quality
OF the material employed may be had from
