COACHES AND AUTOCARS.
How the Twentieth Century Is Linked
With the Eighteenth.


With the Eighteenth.
The nineteenth century has seen the
passing of the democracy Of travel.
With the twentieth has come a return
to the aristocratic methods of the
eighteenth century, when gentleman,
if he wished to tour the continent, did
so in his own coach. Friends in the
country inviting a lady Of quality to
visit them wrote asking where horses
should meet her. She naturally came
in her own carriage. When Miss Edge
worth's heroine Helen wished to pay
her debts her principal asset was her
travelling chaise.
In the youth of our own GRANDPA
theirs the truly great, enshrined in an
aristOcratic vehicle, refused to descend
from it even when on shipboard. The
opera singer Grisi crossed the channel
in her own coach, while her dutiful
husband stood on deck at the coach
window holding the harmless necessa-
~ basin. The individual vehicle was
a hall mark of distinction.
There has been an interval when PEG
pie were content to herd together in
railway trains. but it has already pass
ed away. We have returned to the
private. the special, the personal; in q
word. we have gone back to the eight
eenth century. Now, as then, gentle
man travels in his own conveyance
