It can't be because they arc really peer king's poverty is a beggar's competence in the same sense that commenors may be peer. But titles n expensive luxuries. They cost a great deal mere than de there feed and drink. Balls and magnificent parties de-' jnanded by European social life eat the fat out of the fattest purses. Taxes en royal estates have drained Continental exchequers. The war, which robbed impartially both the rich and the peer, has left even titled families with little mero than enough. Seme families it has utterly ruined. Ne wonder royalty is rearranging its sentiments regarding trade. Ne longer are titled folk fearful of soil ing clean white hands in the busy marts of business. The knightly males have rolled in the mud of France. They have lived like beasts in holes; they have felt the force of the argument "work or you don't cat!" And the noblewomen, tee, have learned le knew the work there is in the world te de. They have toiled in het canteens, they- have wrapped bandages, nursed the wounded, dene Very necessary and difficult scrvice in munitien factories, driven meter lorries.

And while tbere is always a little buncombe about persons who think of service with a capital S, there seems te be no doubt that many of Europe's high-born women arc shying at a resumption of the easy luxurious life. Landed estates arc being sold, net because landed estates are undesir able, but because money emphat ically is net. Jewels are going, net because jewels arc no longer fash ionable, but because jewels can be converted into cold, convincing cash. And, as has been said before, noblewomen are going te work! And they are proving that they knew hew te make money. They bring; te their businesses the taste and intelligence which is a heritage of their social class .and compete successfully with established houses.
