Procure One 1T Once II You Want t.
Ne In the Swim.
Any man or woman who pretends to
be anything In society now sports
family crest. One may or may not have
had forbears, but the crest is no Ion
ger an insignia of blue blood. 1t can
be secured for a price, and as the
American usually carries any fad to
excess he now outcrests the titled
families Of the old world.
He has it stamped on his cigarette
paper as well as his stationery. His
wife has it woven into her table linen.
The head Of his stable orders it in
metal on the harness as well as in the
lacquer on the carriage door. 1t stares
at the general public from his lap robe
His son has it stamped on his seal
ring, and his daughter. if she takes up
the craze for tattooing, has it indelibly
marked on her anatomy. But the
browning inconsistency of the modern
use of crest is the distribution Of
dinner favors bearing the crest not Of
the recipient, but Of the hostess.
A man of millions who recently re-
furnished his library had the crest
hammered into the brass frieze Of the
fireplace, and wholly improbable pair
Of animals copied from this same crest
furnished the supports for the and
irons. Little Master Millions is sent
forth for his daily walk with the fam
lily crest embroidered on his sleeve,
where the child Of the common people
has some small navy or army design
on his $4.93 REFER. Crests on hand

seems absolutely no limit to the meth
dds for flashing ones crests on less for
