TOO MUCH CHANGE
fWe cannot walk to-day because of the car which we buy with our loose change or the motor coach which takes us everywhere," writes Sir Max fPemberton in the Sunday Dispatch. ." Yet with it all, and while we refuse to walk from Oxford Circus to Marble Archwhen a motor omnibus will take us, we are willing to trapse ten miles a day upon a golf course in pursuit of a harmless ball (that has not wronged us) or to be carried to a hospital from a football field that we may assert the greatness of man, whose spirit will never be broken though his leg has suffered that misfortune. » 'This world is full of change, change, change,' says Mulock. An admirable sentiment ... if you are a receiver thereof. But there are still those of us who believe that much'in the Old life was good; and that all this fever of movement, of noise, and often of stark vulgarity has contributed little to the happiness of man and will contribute less in the future."
