SOCIAL MAKE-BELIEVE.
Society .in all ranks is founded on the make-believe that everybody is channina ; that we are delighted to ccc everybody ; that everybody is delighted to see us; that it is so' gcod of everybody to come ; that we are desolate at the thought thafc they really must go now. Which would we rather do— stop and finish our cigar or hasten into the drawing-room to hear Miss Screecher sing? oan you ask us? We tumble over each other in our hurry.— -J, K. Jerome in "M.A.P."
