Tn other countries in Europe we British are supposed to have very bad manners, but we have not bad manners, but merely cold manners. We are not always bowing and scraping to each other and saying pretty things when we do not mean them. We have underneath that, however, the better manners of meaning what we say. of being self-reliant and having true self-respect. 1 should like to see New Zealand at the top of the tree in that form of good manners. — Lord Plunket.
