modern manners a test case by g k chesterton it is said that there has been a moral breakdown but let us bo com forted it is only a mental break down tho real objection to much or modern fashion is an objection based on reason and not specially on morality and in certain respects not al lor even perhaps most cur rent culture seems to me to have sim ply fallen to a lower level of civiliza tion i will take one example ot what 1 mean precisely because it has no thing directly to do with morality at all it is now tho custom ot most young people to shout at each other by their christian names or the ab breviations of their christian names as soon as they know each other or before they know each other if as ycu and 1 and all smart peo ple are aware tho dashing and dis tinguished hiss vernon- vavasour was known in baptism as gloria but among her most devoted friends as gurgles there is now no difference between those who call her gurgles gles and those who call her glory and those who would normally prefer when suddenly presented to somebody they do not know from eve to call her miss vernonvavasour now all this has nothing directly to do with right and wrong i sup pose there are savage tribes in which a person only possesses one name and so has to ho addressed by i it might be maintained that the first name is always the noblest and most sacred in a religious and mora sense i complain of it here not because it shows a lack of appreciation of tho world it especially shows a lack of appreciation of the civilized world it shows a dullness in distinguishing and tasting the art of civilization to take another alternative pos sibility some of those utopias des cribed by mr wells might possibly abolish all christian names or even abolish all names we might have labels our criticism on it would be that it dulled the edge of fine cultural in tercourse it lakes away certain fine shades of personal interest of appropriateness or inappropriateness which help tho colored comedy of life it is barbaric and reactionary to de stroy these cultural distinctions be tween one thing and another because it is like rubbing out all the lines of a fine drawing now there were very many things in which the victorians were quite wronf but in their punctiliousness about etiquette in things like this they were quite right in insisting that the young lady should be called at one stage jliss vavasour and only at another stage gloria and only in extreme and confidence gurgles they were a thousand times right they were maintaining a wholly superior social system by which social ac tions were significant and not as they are now all of them equally in significant there is a meaning in eacli of those names when i was a hoy there was a real symbolism a real poetry and in the sane sense a real romance in the transition from being supposed to call a lady miss brown to beins al lowed to call her mabel there is also this further point the old stages of intimacy were in dividual and in that sense oven un conventional tho new comradeship is entirely conventional it is in the exact and solid sense a conven tion the old admission to special friendship occurred at different stages with different people it was an ad- fenture the new familiarity is real ly a formality it is a thing made common like the rules of a game it is a tiling dictated by what tho in stinct of the people themselpes call the crowd but the essential point about it is that this sort of simplification merely impoverishes life life is much more rich and indipldual initiations special favors and different titles for dif ferent relations of life if 1 were constructing a utopia which god forbid i should describo a iilgher civilization in which every hu man being had a hundred names in which each had a particular name known only to a particular friend in which there were more and not less ceremonies differentiate gthe various kinds of lovo and friendship and in which the suitor had to 0 through ten names before he got to glory that would he a utopia really worth constructing for it would real ly he a question of construction most of the utopias represent only a dull sort of destruction the sort of de struction that we call simplification but these things will not como until tho modern world has realized that its cure lies in distribution and even jn differentiation and not in mixing op everything together in one great mes vanity fair f books no hook is worth anything which is not worth much nor is it service able until it has been read and re read and loved and

little while ago a great sensation was caused on the sussex downs by two members of a society which be lieves that mixed sun and airbathing in the nude state is tho secret of mental and bodily health one was a girl of 20 with a body richly tanned by continual exposure to sun and wind her companion a young man who eloquently explained that they believed in prido of body and not shame of it we want to infuse grace and grandeur into an existence that has becime paltry and trivia ho de clared we accomplish this psychic ally by sunbathing and mentally by psychoanalysis and positive thinking living poetically our great idea is to discipline our selves in order that wo may live more vigorously and joyously- tired ness of limb and weariness of soul go together on one occasion when botli were ambling along in a nudo state they were surprised by a party of holiday mahers on their way over the downs to bathe they were extremely surprised said the young sungod and they were also somewhat concerned but we had nothing of which t oo as hamed we are simply living poeti cally again a remarkable stir was creat ed by an advanced educational experi ment at a private school in suffolk where boys and girls ran about nak ed and sketched from the nude in mixed classes there were 26 pupils all the boys being under the age of 12 while the ages of the girl pupils ranged from a few years to 16
