cepting the rare cases where base qualities
had been proved beyond doubt 10 his mind
The thing he most abhorred was untruIntui-
ness. Even insincerity in its mos tc0nven-
tional form detestable to an upright MIND
which loved and sought for truth In All Its
phases. His first Impulse was to think we'll OF
people, TO like them. TO respect them: they
were human souls and therefore to him Of
the greathest earthly interest. He conversec
affably with all Lover OF beauty ~ he was

himself delightful at dinner party whether
the guests CHANGED TO be of mediocre intelli
gencey of superior brains. His fund d
sparkling anecdotes for all was never ex
hausted. In this as in many other ways on,
learned from him the lesson OF self forget

sying that bare shoulders at daylight func-
tons will not be the mode during the reign

Even in the earlier years OF her reign Queen
Victoria was short and fat In those days
she cared more about her personal appearance
than she did later and she knew that . decol-
lete bodice was Infinitely more becoming to her
than high collar.
So decoiietage was the ruft 1t court func-
tionus during victoria's reign. and many q

jewels, under her mantle OF velvet and ar

that permission to wear the high court bodice
will be given.
Many an elderly woman. clineing To, socia

welcome the change: but 1t IL doubtful whether
