HEREDITARY RANK.
Precedence In England as 1t Struck
an American Girl,

Precedence In England as 1t Struck
an American Girl.
l knew young American girl who,
going to England under the care of an
ambassadors family and attending her
t1rst large dinner party and looking
about her, selected as the guest in the
room who most interested her one man
of distinguished aspect, whom she re-
solved to watch. When the guests
were ushered into the dining hall ac-
cording to the laws of precedence she
found herself at the very end of the
brilliant procession as one of two un-
titled plebeians in the room, assigned
to the escort of the very man who had
interested her and who turned out to
be Samuel Rogers, the poet and patron
Of art and the recognized head of lit
erary society in England. She always
said that she secured two things at
that ntertainment-namel the most
delightful companion that she ever
had at dinner party and, moreover, a
lesson in the outcome of mere hered-
1tary rank that would last a lifetime.
Rogers poems are not now read so
much as formerly, but at that time the
highest literary honor a man could
have was to dine with Rogers. He was
also one Of the richest bankers in Lon
don and was very possibly the only
person in the room WHO had won for
himself reputation outside of his
own little island, but he was next to
nobody in that company, and the little
American girl was the nobody.-Thom-
as Wentworth Higginson in Atlantic.
