A few days after Georges return

that not quite everybody had gazed
with complete benevolence upon the
various young collegians at their
holiday sports. The Sunday edition
Of the principal morning paper even
expressed some bitterness under the
heading, "Gilded Youths OF the Fin
de-Siecle"-this was considered the
knowing phrase OF the time, espe-
cially for Sunday supplements--and
there Ia no doubt that from certain
references ia this bit OF writing some
people drew the conclusion that Mr..
