There arose a tradition that any
priest Who should retain his Orlgi-

Thus Adrian If Utrecht, who was
elected Pope by a compromise,

their fathers had. Their food was
abundant and of the best quality, as 1t
still is to-day. but their cooking was
poor. Still, American cookery at its
best won the enthusiastic praise OF
Brillat- Savarin. The women of that
period were domestic; their virtues
won the admiration of every visiting
foreigner, however great his disap-
proval Of everything else. Early mar
riages were the rule; even among the
higher classes girls often married
when they were thirteen The double
standard Of morals was preached to
them as law of nature and of society.
The woman who had an unfaithiul
husband should not eXpostulate win
him. said one writer Of books Tor
women. for that would drive him away.
She should "feign ignorance OF ms
misconduct, and by superior agree
ableness and attractions win him
back" Divorce was almost unknown.
The first Society" divorce was OBJ
tanned in 1911 by an Englishman who
had married one of Lady Washing
toms granddauChters. His real home
was at the capital. but he established
a legal residence in Vermont Tor the
purpose. As the pioneer OF practice
since grown immensely popular ne de-
serves the reclamation of his name
from Oblivion in the pages OF this
book.
In literature and journalism there
was a decided attempt TO weaken our
dependence upon England. Noah Web
ster sought to introduce a change from
the English TO an American language.
Slavery. without cruelties or even
hardships for the slaves, was only pas

capped punishment because the human
