Delinoueneies of HiOb Society

Delinquencies Of High Society.
When taken to task for the misbe-
havior of the so-called high society
set, its devotees usually seek refuge
in the reply that the same things are
going on in other social classes, al
though perhaps not so fragrantly, yet
do not attract public attention.
Whether this assertion be true or false,
1t cannot be accepted as justification
for claiming the right to defy all rules
of morality, and seandalizing the COM
munity, as a perQuisite of wealth or
social eminence
1t is true that the frivolities and es-
capades in high society are more con-
spicuous than they would be If COM
mitted on lower levels, but that is all
the greater reason why they should be
more severely condemned. If the So
called social leaders are to recognize no
accountability for their actions, their
bad examples are sure to have per-
nicious influence, and work damage
by imitation in places unexpected.
The deficiencies and delinquencies of
the high society set Of today may be no
greater than they have been in times
past, but they seem to be more in the
spotlight, and the need of a sense of re-
sponsibility is much more urgent.
