Titles In England.

Forty or fifty years ago few people
In England had titles. There were
only a few decorations which entitled
their owners to put the prefix Sir
before their names. We all of us
looked down with lofty contempt upon
the counts and barons that were SO
plentiful in continental countries. Now
we a do SO no longer. for probably
there is no other country In the world
where the traffic In titles is SO open
and so indecent as in England. What
the number Of our decorations II I do
not know. and l imagine that few do.
Every few years some new one Is ere
ated and an Englishman with Q taste
that way can easily manage to ex-
hibit himself covered with metal disks
