Of course all this is but a popular fic
tion; we accept it because it is iustilled
into us from childhood and we don’t
often bring the logic of circumstances
and history to bear upon it because no
one likes to raise an issue with the old
folks who are so honest in their love
for the bygone days and in their con
tempt for these that;, are succeeding
them. We drift along with our
amusements and styles and habits and
manage to have a pretty good time af
ter all, and it is greatly to be feared
that the downward turn of things has
lost its terrifying power. We have
beeome callous; so the old folks that
preceded them used to say of /their
young; and so on Indefinitely.
The world is probably a little better
than it was ever; it grows better every
year. We must admit this or that civ
ilization is a failure and the Caucasian
played out. The dear old Louisville
has learned so fast that she ha s
forgotten. Ourportrait galleries are
tell-tales and show upourgrand-moth-
ers in their true light. There are white
arms and plump shoulders charmingly
exposed and very likely the “V” shap
ed bodies were hewn out behind, also,
only nobody’s back shows ip a portrait
and the fact can’t be established. Then
there are Godey’s old lady’s books and
the ancient novels that betray the old
folks again. The fact is indisputable;
the young people were just as bad sixty,
eighty *and a hundred years ago, as
they are now. They not only had
their low necked and no-sleeve dresses
but they flirted and got their families
in trouble sometimes, and duels were
fought and men died for sneer or £
smile, as the case might have been
But some old ladies, who honestly be
lieve they speak the truth, who were
. raised out of town or have forgotten a
great deal will always remain to be ar
witness against the present. Their
mission is to check, just as they were
checked; to instill modesty into youth
ful minds, to guide just as they were
guided. As they loved and revered
their preceptors so do we love and re
vere them. And when-ws get old we
will probably hear the grown up girls
of this age inveighing against the
scandalous fashions that have come in
since the old days of modesty and de
cent covering whieh they will remem

But this feature of life is not pec id
liarly feminine. By no means! , How
we berate the young men for vice and
precocity. | Alas and alas! Our graneb
fathers smoked incessantly, chewea

other under the table. Bah! Let us
not look too elosely into this matter.
