A writer has just emitted the magni-" ficent generalisation that middle-class people should be avoided like the plague." How they can in fact be avoid ed he does not proceed to explain. The middle class is a large and ubiquitous body, and the young man who should take this foolish piece of advice in earnest would have to be something like the Caire banker in "Esthen who during plague epidemic sat behind a barrage of disinfectants, scrutinised his customers through a defensive sanitary helmet, and handled drafts and cheques with a pair of tongs It will be remembered that eren such precautions failed. The poor financier fell a victim to the pest. We can hardly imagine a self-conscious you genius succeeding in warding of the middle-class virus.
It is rather singular, writes the Even- ing Standard, how calmly the middle class takes the sneers and injuries which are its lot. It is satirized in novels sent out by circulating libraries which would not exist but for middle-class support It is represented as hateful or ridiculous by dramatists whom it rewards lavishly and by actors whom it applauds It is de- rided by Socialist intellectuals. It is abused by Communista. It is shubbed or
neglected by the respectable parties. It is
systematically plundered by Chancellors of the Exchequer, of whatever political complexion they may be, and yet it seldom condescends to signify its displea sure Sufferance is the badge of all its tribe.
Time was, of course-and that not long ago when the middle class had bonour in this country. The dignity and advan tage of a middling situation are eloquently set forth by so old a writer as Defoc. Macaulay employed his best periods to exalt the order which is neither rich nor peor, but is removed from the pressure of want while preserving ingen tive and ambition. There was scarcely a Victorian statesman-or for that matter a Victorian writer before Oscar Wilde who did not pay his tribute to the back bone of the country." The middle class, too, was conspicuously proud of itself. It .knews its power. It was distinctly con- scious of ita virtues. It was resolutely blind to such deficiencies as it possessed Podanap was fully as satisfied with him self as Sir Leicester Deadlock, and mildly centemptuous of withered sprigs of aris. tocracy like Twemlow. It is rather puzzle why foolish people should laugh at the middle class, and the middle class should in some sense join in the laugh against itself, in the very period during which class distinctions have become most blurred, and the line between aristocracy and non-aristocracy can no longer be drawn with certainty.

The defender of American women puts. down the improvement she claims to the experience gained by the American man who served in the Expeditionary Force
Mrs. John C. Hickling, wife of a Wall- street magnate, declared:

"They keep probing their husbands to If they have & chesp 89 one better. Bivver they want a better one.

The Insatiable,
There is no man born who could give an American woman everything she wants. She is never satisfied. Her man is simply money-making machine. He makes the money and she spends it.
"Babies she regards as an intolerable nuisance. As soon as possible after they are born she relegates them to the care of some coal-black mammy,” and pro-

Miss Bradley King, who is in London preparing the sconario of M. A S. M Hutchinson's "One Increasing Purpose," said: ---

"I know that the world is led to be- lieve that the American husband is a poor thing who goes about working 20 hours every day in order to make money for his wife spend, and that ba gives her everything she asks for, but don't, you' believe it.
It may be true that before the war the American was a simp of this type, but since the American Expeditionary Force came back from France things have changed. We are now on a 30-60 basis."
Man and Maid Diferances,
While defending American women, Miss King said that she was tickled to death at the difference between American men and Englishmen when they were in firta-

Probably the diminished political im-time that evening. portance of the middle class has some thing to do with it. In numbers it is still important. In intellect and techni- cal accomplishment it is vastly more im portant than it ever was. Bat it has to a large extent abdicated as a political force. It is less vividly interested in the game of in and outs. It has little or ganisation. It works too hard and plays too hard-paying taxes and keeping itself fit to pay still more taxes-to have much time to spare for reading debates and attending meetings Politicians who feel confident of its support treat it as negli gible. Politicians who despair of winning it affect "contempt for it. It is of all eleases the least politically class-conscious. But some day it may come to the concln show its real strength. And that will be a day of surprise for many who assume that the middle class has no function but that of a milch-cow.
