Each of these statements seeks the condemnation Of an existing
condition by setting it up against a bygone standard. But who re-
members those standardsS Who can recall with accuracy the things
that used to be?
Deverys day may have been bad, the bankers of the eighties may
have been wise, and the uptown parks may have been quite quiet of
old, but the bygne years have left no yardstick by which to measure
our times. What lie left of them is but a memory, and memory is not
much more reliable than imagination. There have certainly been
changes in many things since yesterday, but not in the good old
proverb: Comparisons are odious."
