Titles Do Not Make Nobility

The thieves seem to have been busy during the great coronation festivities in London. At one of the balls given by a duchess a lady lost a necklace valued at $60,000. Leaving an opera another woman lost a string of pearls valued at $75,000, while other smaller robberies were reported. Some of these must have been perpetrated by those in high society, and this goes to show that a title does not make one honorable, nor to be a member of the nobility make one noble.

'Tis only noble to be good; Kind hearts are more than coronets, And simple faith than Norman blood.'
