This HURRYING AGE
Has Forced Authors to Recognize
Charged Customs.
Stllted Manners That Characterized
the Victorian Era Have Passed as
Completely as Has the
Stage Coach.

That the Temporal and the mores
lave suffered as much in this century
as the lares and penates may be poor
Latin, but is sound truth, observes the
Louisville Courier-Journal. The times
and are distinctly different,
and in one especial particular of So
cial intercourse is there a powerful
variance.
For instance, in Victorian times, 1t
took the hero and heroine about TWEEN
ty chapters to get acquainted. BY that
time he was calling her Miss Dora"
instead Of Miss Spenlow," and he
gulped every time he said it. When
his love and passion had boiled n
bubbled until he was a wretched hui
man caldron, and he had to repress q
moan every time he saw her little hand
on the arm of q dragon, it took him
eight pages to ask her %falteringly If he
might call her Dora" She consented,
and a proposal and marriage were the
natural sequence. To call her Dora
and not marry her was equivalent to
breach of promise In the Victorian era.
And nobody but the hero and the mem
bers of her family ever called her
Dora, except perhaps her girl friends
But il these times what a difference!
All the young folks call one another
Jack and Jill, and 1t is a curious and
anachronistic youth who finds it hard
to do so. In fact, he becomes q sort OF
gentle joke In his "set" and the girls
think him rather slow. After he has
met the lady two or three times he
learns to consider 1t s~uperogatory to
call upon her in the name Of her ia
ther. She is Gloria or Penelope in sua
persona, and Miss Wilmerding or Miss
Schulz to her seems pOky. 1t Is the
same with the young married ones.
You hear about them for a while from
mutual friends, and then you meet
them. You make 9. bow and say:
"How do you do, Mrs. Kawsup." She
does not resent it the first time. But
the fourth time you meet her Mrs
haWSup TGlutIhS. IL SOuhNo o" 'f'J
