But while the thoughts of our exhausted youth are thus prematurely concentrated on material comfort and the money which supplies it, the old are increasingly and supernaturally frisky. On the rare occasions when I revisit the world I see the evergreens of Society--men and women who were old when I was young-enjoying themselves with undefeated vivacity.

But far more objectionable than any of these masculinities is the spectacle of the Shooting- Woman. She is the creature of our decadence. There is something unspeakably repulsive in the sight of a women enjoying herself in wounds and blood and slaughter. I know a young pueress, economical and athletic, who is never so happy us when she is prowling about the park with her gun, pelting rabbits for the ser- vants dinner. I presume that the death-shriek of a hare is as made in her ears.
