Late Literary Notes

Are England, Scotland and Ireland
destined, ultimately, to become part Of
'"The United States of America and
Great Britain?" is the startling inquiry
which William T. Stead makes in the
January Cosmopolitan. He has been one
of the prophets of Great Britain, and
has, at all times, been able to see in
advance Of his contemporaries as events
have proven. EHc has been studying the
new conditions brought about by the
industrial combinations and reaches the
conclusion that England and the United
States are destined to be more closely
united and that as soon as the English
people wake up to the absurdity and
general uselessness, as has been shown in
the Boer War, of king and aristocracy,
the trend will be immediate in the direc-
ton Of union with the people Of the
United States. However much one may
differ from Mr.. Stead, his speculations
will be found vastly interesting. He is
the first British subject who has had the
courage to suggest such an outcome.

than o. few monosyllables in reply, and a
silence fell. This Mr.. Lawton cheerfully
broke by inquiring the ethical value Of
waitresses' aprons.
Mrs. Gillingham was discursive on this
subject, and opined that they should be
furnished by the mistress, and that shoul-
derlappets were desirable and impressed
the maid with the dignity Of her posi-
ton.
Mr.. GilIingham held the lappets in dis
favor, explaining that they always ap-
peared to him like wings, and he feared
his waitress would be waited away just
when he wanted some hot toast.
And so the conversation, though elevat-
ing at one time and absorbing at another,
was never both at once.
Mrs. Lawton struggled bravely, and
Mr.. Lawton assisted cheerfully, but it
was decided relief to both Of them

perplexed look, that's just what did.

"Why, introduce the subjects you wrote
down. I got them off one after another,
just in the order in which they were
written, and carefully interspersed my

"Come out in the dining room and look

if Ellen didn't destroy the paper when
