How little is our generation disturbed by the doings of our own Bright Youth. They pour petrol into the moats of our old manor houses and burn them down. But we are well insured and very well rid of an unprofit- able incubus. The treasure hunt of nights round residential London in unsilenced motorcars. But we are perfectly proof against noise. They dress up to represent us at fancy dress balls, but they would scorn to borrow our clothes for the occasion. It ja mere hard luck, not hard- heartedness, if they elect to im- personate one who lies dying--or sits bereaved.
