Note 31 — MY VISITING BOOK.

I do not mean to say that in the progress of things it may not become perfectly justifiable to wear a white waistcoat in the morning; or that certain developments of mind, or combinations of circumstance, may not render it imperative to do so. I go but with my age; and I appeal to Lord A——y, or to my old friend Lord A——n, whether, de nos jours, a man who pays a morning visit in a virgin-white Marseilles waistcoat, is admissible within the pale of civilized society.
