LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
The mildest of an get a little irritated from- time to time by some gross misapplication of these terms. They may hold philosophic views upon the subject whan cool, and ask themselver what on earth it matters? Or, if sentimental, they may argue that a gentleman or a lady is one who thinks and acts in the manner 10g- gested by those titles, whatever his or her stalion in life; a vast deal of poetry may be cited in support of this opinion. But such theoretical consolations are api to fail when, by chance, one hears an offensive charwomant
THE leading English Newspaper in China styled a Indy or a drunken cabdriver a gentle. man. On thinking it over, nevertheless, most seem to find a difficulty in justifying their annoyance. Why should not a respectable maid-servant be called a lady?-most certainly she has better manners and, she appears to be more amiable, than several persons of our acquaintance whose claim to the title is undis. puted. Once on a lime it may have been possi- ble, even easy, is define the words lady and gentleman; but long since they have lost all significance as tokens of a class. You cannot prove that the maid-servant or the shopman have the right to the style they claim. How

reasonable to be vexed with poor people for assuming a dignity which cannot be denied them, when it makes not the smallest difference to ourselves!
Unreasonable, truly; but, as a matter of fact, binth words have a meaning, as distinct now in the literal sense, at when they were invented, And in that meating they still pertain to certain calegories, if not, exactly classes, of person, from which the vast majority of those who laim them at the present day are excluded. A tady does not hand loaves, personally, at the front door of a morning, to ber servants, trades- people, and casual way farers, as we see her spiritual ancestress doing in a famous MST at the British Museum. But she makes the same distribution, unseen, in the form of cash, when her agent pays wages and settles accounts. It is a simple evolution from the laf-dig, the loaf- giver,so the "Mistress"-whether of hall or farm,, house or shop. As an employer and payer of Labour she claims the title of "lady," but those who do not distribute loaves, that is, wages, in any form, have no right to it. The sentiment of the thing may be put aside for the use of mor alists, poets, and twaddlers: this is the fact,
up-
The case of "gentleman" is not less clear. The word signifies member of a gens, 'a clau a family recognised by custom perhaps by law-that is a man whose "people" are well known, of established position in their neigh, houthood. There is no refercuce to land or property; members of the same gens might be fillers of the soil, traders, or seanien, rich or poor-the single condition is that they belong to a family of standing, of fair repute, whose name is or should be a guarantee of honourable conduct. In this sense the
French word passed into
Italian, and ** and in each case it has remained changed-without the addition of the secondary meaning which has obscured the first, in modern English. The Spanish hidalgo bears the same interpretation precisely-"son of Somebody and the medieval Greek Authen files had a like significance—this is the original of the Turkish "Effendi," they say. Obviously a chimney sweep, a shopman, and so forth do not fall under the definition. They are not connected with a gens, seldom do their parents enjoy renown, even'in a back street or a sub- urban road, unless of the sort which does them na credit. Their name has no recognised value, commercially or socially. Therefore, they cannot claim the title of gentleman.
A
It is interesting to note how the secondary meaning of the word is consi" to English- possibly, indeed, there is grave significance in the limitation. So early as Caucer's time courtesy and propriety of conduct begau to be associated, as of right, with the man of old and well-known family. The "very perfect. Knight" is also called the "Kaight mi gentleness" when he arranges a quozél ayong the Pilgrims. to na long time we Gad the connection' recognisad, in só far that kindness and self-restraint were Ex- picted of a gentleman that is, he laid himself. open to a charge of disgracing.his order il, he faded therein. Neither in France nor in Italy did this notion attach itself to the conception: of the man of family. He was expected to show good manners, the polish of the Court, and to uphold the honour of his name, but 10- thing more. We may conclude, if we will, that English gentlemen really did show kind ness and consideration towards the commorally centuries before such conduct became unint aboad. They may have been equally, con. vinced that their blood was of superior quality somehow to that of the vulgar, but they be hared prettily toward them, all the same. A good deal of evidence might be brought for "ward to support this view. But the great Lord Hurleigh insisted that "gentilly is nothing else but ancient riches," writing to his son, who, ,ans would think, needed no reminder. Anda great deal of evidence might be brought for- ward to support this view alia. However, It, remains established that a geallemap must be a Somebody, distinct from the crowd. He need not be a personage, ol.course, but bị HONGKONG TELEGRAPH CO., LD.. should be able to show, marke of identification
