What Is It That
Constitutes
a Gentleman? '
A sightseer in London for the first
time is most likely to be taken early
any Sunday, morning to. Seven Dials,
where thousands of ragged people
attend auction sales of every
mndcivable second-hand thing ever
macle by a luachineto a human hand,
and the several auctioneers, at
diliereni puinis m m "ugu wunu,
always begin their sales by saying
"Ladies and Gentlemen."
The whole world pays homage to
certain words.
Shakespeare, centuries ago, is
'said to have used the word
"gentleman" tour hundred and
fifty-two times in his works.
One frequently hears a man say
that he thinks of giving up business
and turning gentleman.
Is it the work a man does that
makes or unmakes a gentleman?
It is not so very long ago that
Great Britain barred the receiving
at Court of any commercial man.
Just exactly
N What Is
Gentleshippe?
If a man is known by his clothes,
the question all turns-upon His.
Majesty the Tailorsmith.
Can putty, paint and varnish
make a genuinely good piece of
furniture?
Can lands, money and inherited
titles, each or all of them, make a
real gentleman?
A university may produce a
gentlemanized graduate, but is it not
la fact thaifc the beginning of a
(gentleman is within the threadbare,

Cfomething Has Happened
to a neautijtu yy niie
Silk
An extraordinarily fino white satin brocade has
become slightly soiled on the extreme edges, a thing that
is difficult to prevent with white or light colored silks.
This is, however, just where the seam will comoin
making the brocade up and so it is not really a serious
detriment. Nevertheless, wo prefer to tell our customers
. about it and, as a compensation, we have taken a con
siderable amount from the price.'
The new marking is $10 a yard nnd, for such a hand
some silk as this, this price is very low. Tho width is. 38
inches. .
