They Go Almost Down to the Very
Hottom of Society,

They TO Almost Down to the Very
Bottom of Society.
Some sort OF class feeling is, we be-
lieve, inherent in human nature. Poo
pie often speak as though these de-
marcations existed only among the
middle and upper classes, but such is
not the fact. Indeed it is very far
from the fact No more misleading
labels than "the classes and "the
masses were ever invented. There
are no masses, rightly speaking. Class
distinctions go almost down to the bot
tom-not quite, of course. because
there is always n residuum who
through their fault or their misfortune
have neither the pride nor the imag.
ination to sort themselves.
Money is not an absolute criterion OF
social position. Character, in so far
as 1t Is reflected I'm propriety Of be-
havior, counts for a great deal. a
rowdy family sink directly, though
they may have money to waste, and 4
respectable widow may retain her SUI
periority in the face Of grinding power
~. The acme Of good manners, the
very badge of gentility. is TO be
"quiet," nevcN to let the sound of
mirth, quarrcling or lamentation pro-
coed Il Of your dwelling.
This sign Of social distinction Is APP
precinted down To the very bottom.
On the upper rungs of the social lad
der we should say that those social
distinctions which car be defined at
all rest upon birth, money and brains.
Among the poor they rest upon money
and manners, and the latter, alas, are,
below a certain wage, wocfully de
pendent upon the former Spectator.
