ENGLISH TITLES

BY P. W. WILSON

(In answer to a query by an Outlook reader)

[ocr errors]

N the proper way to talk to Englishmen, an amusing volume might be written.

The nation is divided strictly into nobles who already have or hope to start pedigrees, and commoners, who, as Sir William Harcourt once put it, "prefer to remain gentlemen;" and between nobles and commoners, the baronets, when genuine, serve as missing links.

Of nobles there are five grades. A duke is called "his Grace," so resembling an archbishop; a marquis is "Most Honorable" or, in debate, "Most Noble;" while earls, viscounts, and barons are "Right Honorable."

When the King writes of these dignitaries, he says of a duke, "Our Right Trusty and Right Entirely Beloved Cousin;" of a marquis and an earl, "Our Right Trusty and Entirely Beloved Cousin;" of a viscount, "Our Right Trusty and Well-Beloved Cousin;" and of a baron, ."Our Right Trusty and Well-Beloved"-but not cousin. The blood of a mere baron thus becomes royal when he is changed into a viscount or peer of higher degree.

Dukes, marquises, and earls usually have additional peerages of lower degree which are held in courtesy by their eldest sons. Thus the heir to the Duke of Devonshire would be the Marquis of Hartington. Younger children, though less important, are not, however, entirely overlooked. For dukes and marquises, they are "Lord Henry" and "Lady Jane" with the family name to follow. An earl's daughters are also "Lady," and his younger sons are "the Honorable." Of viscounts and barons, both sons and daughters, whether eldest or younger, are styled "the Honorable."

Turning to commoners, we find that all members of the Privy Council are "Right Honorable." This explains why Cabinet Ministers are thus addressed. During their year of office, but no longer, Lord Mayors are "Right Honorable," and so are Lord Provosts in Scotland. Mayors are "Right Worshipful" if they preside over cities, but only "Worshipful" if over boroughs. Judges of the higher courts are "Lord Justice" and "the Hon. Mr. Justice," while in the lower courts they are "his Honor, Judge." At Court, maids of honor are "the Honorable." The House of Commons-regarded by the College of Heralds as a somewhat annoying innovation-has no distinctionas I read the rule, not even "Esquire." It is a place for citizens, burgesses, and people of that kind, but "Esquire" is customary in addressing members. Knights are simply "Sir" and baronets have "Bart." behind their name. Wives of knights are "Dame," which is pronounced "Lady."

In English society everything is thus done to make things as simple as possible for the visitor.

Thousands of homes, offices and shops have welcomed Tirro, the ideal mending tape.

It comes on a spool. It is a strong fabric tape. One side is coated with a clinging compound. It sticks to china, rubber, wood, metal, glass, anything. It is instantly ready, and is applied without heating, wetting or mussiness.

Tirro is waterproofed before we coat it with the sticky, viscous rubber compound. So it is both leak proof and an insulation.

We picture above some of the countless uses of Tirro. Your imagination will supply the rest. Tirro wraps, binds, mends. It can be used for a tiny patch or for a many-fold wrap.

BY THE WAY

WRITING of the "sign of the Coffee

W Mill" in St. James's Street, Lon

don, Mr. E. V. Lucas says in the London "Sphere" that for a century and a half that ancient establishment, now devoted solely to dispensing "those generous juices which America has latterly repudiated," has possessed a pair of scales on which "all that was most eminent in human form has sat to be weighed." Since the year 1765 accurate records of "illustrious and often regal ponderosity" have been kept. Charles Lamb's weight, for instance, as recorded in 1814, was 129 pounds; Lord Byron in 1806 weighed 194 pounds, but by 1811 had "reduced" to 1372. Beau Brummell weighed 172 pounds, while his famous "fat friend," the Prince Regent, weighed 224 pounds. The heaviest man ever weighed on the Coffee Mill's scales was Mr. George Drummond, who in 1850 registered 362 pounds.

Mr. Chesterton, Mr. Lucas remarks in the article quoted above, is the only present-day colossus worthy of association with the "heavies" of the Coffee Mill's scales, and even as to this example of heroic girth the genial essayist discredits the story of Mr. Chesterton's gallantry in standing in an omnibus to offer his seat to three ladies. "But," says Mr. Lucas in conclusion, "just to prove that an interest in amplitude and pinguidity still obtains, I saw a Scotch paper the other day in which the proprietor of a waxworks exhibition advertised for a charwoman: Must weigh over 20 stone [280 pounds]. Wages £1 a day.'"

What is the most popular book issued during the last twenty-five years? Ask the question of a group of readers and there will probably be various answers"One of Harold Bell Wright's novels," "Mrs. Eddy's 'Science and Health,' "David Harum," "The Standard Dictionary," "Probably a war book-perhaps The First Hundred Thousand,'' might be replies hazarded. er's note about Charles M. Sheldon's "In His Steps," however, asserts that twenty-two million copies of that book have been sold, "a mark unapproached by any work by any other modern writer."

A publish

A prominent firm of theatrical producers in New York City have announced that people who arrive after the rise of the curtain on their performances will not be seated. Many theatergoers offend in this way, one persistent late-comer being quoted as saying, "I always want to miss the beginning of the first act. It is always unnecessary." The firm also request that no one leave before the curtain falls, as such departure not only annoys those who wish to remain for the finale, but "takes the heart out of the actors."

As illustrating the exaggerated imrtance we are likely to attach to our possessions, a prayer uttered by a ter in the Orkney Islands is

quoted. These islands are only dots on the map of Great Britain, but the preacher in question was, it is said, accustomed to pray for the blessing of God upon "the people of this land, and of the adjacent islands of England, Scotland, and Ireland."

The "Dramatic Mirror" publishes this under the head "Dry Humor:" Little Jack Horner Sat in the corner

Watching his father make rye; Said he, "Dad, it's risky To make your own whisky, When all that you want you can buy."

There is a Shakespeare boom in France, according to a correspondent of the London "Sketch." An American actor, Mr. James K. Hackett, is helping it along. He appears at the Odéon, in Paris, with M. Firmin Gémier. Mr. Hackett speaks in English and M. Gémier responds in French. "Only once before, to my knowledge," says the correspondent, "have two great actors of different nationalities appeared together, each speaking in his Own tongueTommaso Salvini and Edwin Booth, at New York, in 'Othello.'"

Among curious epitaphs brought to a subscriber's mind by a recent inquiry in this column are the following: To be seen at Lakewood, New Jersey: He meant well, Tried a little, Failed in much.

In Edgarton, Massachusetts:
ELIZABETH PEASE.
She shelled her pod
And went to God.

At Wolstanton, England:

MRS. ANN JENNINGS. Some have children, some have none: Here lies the mother of twenty-one.

"I don't want any rubbish-no fine sentimentality-if you please," said the widow, who was asked, as reported in "Life," what kind of epitaph she desired for her late husband. "Let it be short and simple, something like this: 'William Johnston, aged seventy-five years: the good die young.'"

"The animal on the State Seal of Wisconsin is a badger, not a beaver as stated on page 481 of your issue of July 20." So writes a correctly informed subscriber. Beavers as well as badgers may have been plentiful in Wisconsin in the early days, but the fighting badger evidently made the strongest impression on the settlers and gave Wisconsin its nickname-the "Badger State."

Some business men are incurable optimists-always on the bull side of the market. A dialogue between a man of this temperament and a friend is reported in "Harper's."

"Are you making any money these days?" the friend asked.

"No, I'm not," replied the incurable optimist; "but I am losing it slower than I ever did in my life before."

This novel, crowned by the Institute, the most charming of Anatole France's stories, reveals perhaps more than any other of his works the character of the author himself.

It is the simple tale of the old professor Bonnard, but the old professor is really Anatole France, the young writer of thirty-six, projecting himself some thirty years into the future. Bonnard possesses France's delightful traits and idiosyncrasies. He is "kindly, rather cynical, faintly ironic, fond of the classics and of humanity."

France has put all the grace that he is so rich in into this book, and it is not strange that this mas terpiece of the elegant French stylist attracted one of the greatest stylists in English. Certainly, nothing could be more fitting than that THE CRIME OF SYLVESTRE BONNARD should have been translated into English by Lafcadio Hearn.

We will send you this volume free of charge if you will secure for us a new yearly subscription to The Outlook and send it to us direct with remittance of $5, the regular subscription rate.

The book is 4"x64", excellently printed, bound in croft leather, stamped in gold, Boni & Liverights' Modern Library edition, a distinctive addition to any library.

HE daily bath is a real pleasure to millions of people because of Ivory Soap, yet they do not think of Ivory as only a "bath"

soap.

For the toilet, the shampoo and the nursery its users would not risk using any other soap, yet they do not think of Ivory as a "toilet' soap exclusively.

For fine laundry work Ivory is the safest soap that can be made, but no one classifies it as a "laundry" soap.

IVORY SOAP

Whenever soap comes in contact with the skin-use Ivory.

Ivory Soap is Ivory Soap. People think of it as Ivory Soap and use it because it is Ivory Soap. No term that puts it in the same group as any other soap does it justice because it includes-not four or five-but every one of the seven essentials that soap can have.

Whiteness, fragrance, mildness, purity, abundant lather, easy rinsing, "it floats";without all these qualities no soap can give the same satisfaction for any use as Ivory, -and what soap but Ivory combines all seven?
