H. `Tucker and lawyer Ra-lenhnrst both said in their remarks that they-neversaw such a happy gathering of children. Barrie is to be cougratwated in having such a school and were it more generally known, I think Miss Chestnut would soon have to seek for larger quarters. The entertainment con- sisted of motion songs and recitations. Time would fail me to tell of the cute little pieces by Gladys Dongall, Clara Knight, Harry Tait, Ainslie Caldwell, Rea Sanford, Tena Cowan and May Dougall. The follow- ing, recitations deserve special mention: The Gray Swan, by Miss Edith Hewson, showed that she had great talent for orn- tory. Master Leo Barnum depicted to us, in a very graphic way The Coming Man." Master Randel McCarthy gave a very pathetic reading entitled, The Lost Squirrel. The fable of the `-` Rain Drops, by Miss Noraltadenhurst and personated by the little ones was both instructive and pleasing. During the afternoon prizes were offered, Mrs L. D.

It was different in the case of the noble, for he lost his dig- nity if he had not fortune to sustain it; and he could pursue no manual oc- cupation for his maintenance. But there was one description of gentlemen whose rank was dependent upon their means of livelihood, who were neither merchants nor in the practice of hus- bandry. These were the incumbents or certain offices. They were gentle- men -solely because of their incum- bency. When they lost their emcee they ceased to be gentlemen`. \ ._ .._. _--M- - ._- _... -..., --...5 uuulu xuulte a.-gent1e- man and also a gentlewoman. as the Queen did of William of Clondesle" and his wife; investing Willyam" with an income of seventeen pence a day to support his dignity. According to Clark and Wormull in their "Intro- duction to Heraldry," the "eldest son or, _ a Viscount had no title or peerage, 1101' were his daughters ladies, but the eld- est son and daughter of the first Vis- count of Great Britain and Ireland are said to .have been the first gentle- man and gentlewoman in the klnge dom, which, however, must be a mis- Henry VI. about 1440; although "VIS- count was already an old title in Con- tinental countries. As a. fact, the Brit- ish gentleman dates back to Saxon times. For, says Freeman, the histor- ian, "as early as the eleventh century the order of gentleman, as a separate ' class, seems to have been forming as something new, and by the time of the conquest the distinction appears to have been fully established.

Professional gentle- men, says Dod--`naming solicitors, at- torneys and counsellors at law," medical practitioners, artists, literary men, mer- chants, master manufacturers, college -professors and the like:-are consid- ered to have some station in society. although the law takes no cognizance of their rank." The word gentleman in.its original and strict sense meant a person or no- ble extraction, or a person created a gentleman by the sovereign, whose de-` sce_ndants took his rank by inhez-I- tance; the King s patent in the case or the creation of .a. gentleman" being accompanied with no title of honor, but with a coat of arms merely.
