DEGREES OLD SCHOOL ManMEn
According 10 This Woman There is No Occasion for Regret at
 Their Passing.

"People talk about the decay of manners, but it is a'good thing that some manners have decayed,' said a woman whose memory goes back to times that other people only read of. "Old school manners in the fam ny we can very well get on without. The manners of the old school fa- ther were those of despot, gracious and benevolent in some cases, but more commonly the reverse. The manners of the mother were those of an ambassadress, and the manners of the elder brother or elder sister were those of the head of depart ment of state. These were the more important offices, and below them were sub-otlices, and each one was administered with degree of tyranny that was made endurable only by the fact that those who suf- fered could retaliate on members of the family enc degree lower in rank. W hen there was no more family upon whose heads vengeance could be wreaked, the domestic regions were harassed for such opportunities for inflicting suffering as they might offer. Iris distance lends enchant- ment to such manners. Thev would not bear close inspection"
