DIGNITY.

E0RMAL dignity is out Of date.

hook 10 the least progressive races. II
Chinaman, in calling. leaves II visit
ing card Of unusual size, with his
name in large characters, he has con-
veyed an insult which must be resent
ed, by man Of spirit, with card and
characters OF even greater bulk. II a
visitor enters a Chinaman's house, in
stead OF waiting for the host to escort
him, or if his servants enter by the
wrong door, his dignity is seriously
impaired. An Arab might resort to
the meanest theft, but he would have
the exterior carriage of the story book
idea OF royalty. How absurd aggres-
sive dignity appears in the contem.
porary world is shown by the per form
ances OF the Kaiser. Our idea OF dig
nifty is something deeper than self
assertion or than grandoise pose.
Abraham Lincoln comes near the
American ideal, with his slack, equal
mode OF meeting great and small.
Lord Salisbury represents the enlight.
4ened British notion Of aristocracy,
with his careless behavior and bad
clothes. The English love to tell the
STORY OF his being refused admittance
at Monte Carlo OH account of his ap-
pearance. Less known is the tale OF
his daughters final success in forcing
him to he measured, instead of buy
ing his clothes, as usual, ready made.
Her horror when his clothes proved
as baggy rs ever drove her to the
sailor's shop, where the tailor ex-
claimed, "But, madam, what can l
