The common impression seems to be that possessing an article of great value and showy nature is an indication that the possessor has plenty of mea L n f the striking things, however, about the upper class British women is their modesty of dress. They display neither jewels nor perfumes and ,heir gowns are remarkably simple. . h itvou want to know whether a thing has a mark of superiority or not . the superior people and then at the common people, look at the P jewellery, and souse themselves with perfumes. It is a sign of superiority and intelligence to go without these things rather than to display them be amQng the rea i aristocracy, cultivate a low voice, erel and seemlv conduct.
