n MAN was telling a story of
n some friends of his-people
of talent, who were gifted
and cultured, but whose self-made
standards caused them to lose sight
Of all ordinary laws of society.
With much sang froid the man
related their doings-doings which
included drinking to excess and
defying the rules of decency in
dress and behavior.
"These people, you see, have
standards of their own he said.
"They do not look at things as we
look at them, Their world is quite

temperament We can not class
them with the ordinary mortal"
Temperament No Excuse.
