Touch ing on this subject Onle if the muost widely read of the society weeklies says in its current number: "Taken as a whole, and quite irre speetive of elitwes, there is nlo deny in that Euglish soeiety froi the t'ontinental point of view, is dull, deadly dull. 4'All over the Continent, however hard men iay work, for a couple of hours every afternoon they devote themselves to women.
