No Fashion Endures
But there is a school of rtymnio-
thought,
that while his modern Cortney Is nearer to Ezabethan English, as spoken in Shakespeare's tñze, than is our cur- rent correct English of to-day. Though, to experts in Cockney talk, this argument is invalidated by the fact that the real Cockney speech is chiefly distinguished not by accent but by Intonation. It has a horrid sing-song that certainly was allen to the voices of Elizabethan captains and ladien.

Already scientifle observers may perhaps detect signs, and partents of change. Oxford "bags," which in- cidentally were first disported at

You have only to cut them off at the knee, and sew them together, and you have a Highland kilt. So the plus-fours movement, which is al- rendy almost a uniform in Scotland, may be the subtle device by which Scottish nationalism proposes, one hopes successfully, to effect a sar- torial conquest of South Britain!
