ON A FICTITIOUS BASIS.

We are told by those who know about such
world" said n1atron land that If all the different
assets had be realized at once in gold coin, the
shrinkage in values would be something incred-
ible and our entire financial system would collapse.
This may be said to be the with many other
structures reared by humanity in Vanity Fair
Everything in social life is more or less on a
fictitious basis, and If were reduced suddenly
to bald truth the fabric OF society would fall TO
pieces. Ali conventonality is or less OF a
fraud and vet how could society do without 1t?
We make visits where neither the visitor nor the
visited has the least desire TO see the other.
We entertain and entertained as matter of
social duty We make polite speeches that would
be distinctly untrue if they were not based upon
recognized fictitious value every knowing that
they are only the current coin used to represent
something else which is really essential, l. E., the
manners and breeding which emphasize the differ
ence between civilization and barbarism. This is
all of fictitious, rather.

are made to do duty for deeds often that protes

surprised and not z little inconvenienced IL their
figures of speech taken literally. One of the
most common forms or TINS imagery SO 10 speak,
is sham invitations.
