British Aristocracy, for 80 Many Cen turies Secure in its High Place, is Fasting the Ground Slip Under Its Feet In one of lite old I'laniagenet houses of Kuulaud the1 belted earl and Iter !ml\ -hip 1 1 v ?* III nm- eoruer of llie rus. I lo, The rent of the lino old mansion U closed, William Allen \Vliltt? writes In < 'oilier'*. Tl?t' servants needed to run the house arc 110 longer available. Money will not hire them. Their men have been commissioned In the army because the earl's son ? who had. u right to Hit at the foot of the throne und who had also the blessed privilege of hearing the king by ancient right address him an cousin ? the earl's Hon lighted one cigarette too many on the purapet, and when he and hlft' kind from Kton and Harrow went out, com iiiIhhIoiih in the army fell to the cook'* mod and |he housekeeper's mod and the IMirlorinald'8 brother and chamber maid's sweetheart, who, being com missioned. promptly took their women kind out of service. They are feeling what they never felt before, these do mestic servants of the nobility ? the spur of ambition. Ho they have left the castle. and such of the servants as stay have be gun to assert their rights, to manifest their self-respect. "Whatever you do," said her ladyship to her guest, "don't rlnu a Ijell V To the question In the visitor's face the hostess replied: "If you ring a bell the servants will leave. I have only three. They have an nounced thai they will do their work, but they forbid Interruptions by bells!" The hot water appeared on schedule ; the service flowed Into the guestroom in Its regular channel, ex cept that fires were so low that the visitors' feet' were frostbitten; the meats were served on time and were well cooked. Hut the servants were ? efficient shop assistants, 110 longer feudal serfs. And the earl chopped the trees In his own forest with his own hands for his owh tires: The meager household allowance of coal that the fuel controller gave to the earl from the mines under the earl's own lands was barely enough to heat 1 lie servants' rooms. . / \111i as for the broad estate over uliirli ihe earl rilled as an agricultural overlord ^l\ years ago ? an agrlcul uiral o\'.>rlord and Industrial entrepre neur through his coal mines ? the es tate is nil erumhling.

No leadership Is call ing him. He knows that the end is coming for him and his kind. He real izes quite definitely that in a few years the castle of the I'lantngenets, who were royal In t*he last Henry's days, probably will fall into the hands of a brewer or a draper or a stock brokor, who will put in a central heating plant to dcllle it, debase the privacy of every tied room with hot and cold water, and degrade the plnce with a wilderness ?>f bathrooms, so that four servants '?nil run the place on two eight-hour shifts where l(Xi retainers once served ilie bani^ under l\li/.aheth.
