Just consider for a moment; ac cording to the above-quoted emin- ent authority all private soldiers are gentlemen; many men neither rich nor eminent are "gentlemen" when their friends, or enerales, of dark green with bronze Attings. speak of them: every juror in the; country is similarly dignified by his service. Every-but the fur- ther we go in our investigation the more we are impressed by the in- dubitable fact that while to use the language of logic-the denota- tion of the term extends to all men, the connotation is both in- definite and Illusory.
And it is only when we try to define the attributes of a "gen- tleman" that we are at a loss how to proceed.

I said "Yes, Tea.""

Her relations would scarcely know her to-day. She has had hor rich black hair bobbed, she wears a jumper and short skirt, but her greatest pride is a pair of slik stockings.
