Verify Things Have Changed

Mr.. Henry Cabot Lodge tells us in
his volume of "reminiscences that man
ners have changed a good deal since
he was young He was taught. and
vigorously taught. that he must new
er refer to physical ailments in gen
eral company and that it was the
height of vulgarity 10 speak of money
or Of the cost Of anything But all
that has now been changed Money
talk is as common around the social
board as it is in congress, and as for
physical ailments, there is simply no
line drawn anywhere.
Well. what else shall we talk about?
Conversation is necessarily confined
TO the topics that interest us, to the
things that we understand, and in
this particular year of grace, of pro-
gressivism and of reform we are in
terested in nothing and we under
stand nothing but disease and money.
Charles Eliot Norton tells us that
toward the end of his life it became
possible to collecs half a dozen or so
persons who could pass few hours
in Intelligent conversation. and this
was in Boston. 1t would be much
more impossible now. If there can be
such thing as degrees of impossi-
bility
Disease as a topic of conversation
is due first of all to an increase in
individual selfishness. which in its
turn leads to a coarsening of mental
fiber. The conventional question of
"How do you do" is no longer &C
cepted as a greeting OF courtesy. 1t
IS regarded as serious pathological
Inquiry. and the lady to whom it is
addressed considers it necessary TO
enter into minute and delicate revela-
tions that would bring qualms to the
stomach OF n crocodile and blush
to the cheeks OF satyr. And it must
be admitted that in this respect 1t is
women vino are the chief offenders
They seem positively to revel in meii-
ical discussions that would make
man feel little bit sick. 1t is fairly
safe to assume that two women con
versing in street car are talking
about diseases. or that they will be
doing so the moment some chance
word gives the opportunity to begin
And so we see another conventional
theory in its death struggle. There
was a time when the feminine mind
was supposed 10 be one of peculiar
delicacy. There was a whole category
of subjects that must not be mention
ed before women. Now 1t is men who
feel certain apprehension of impro
prieties and indelicacies as soon as
women begin to talk.-The Argonaut
