A Pea Too Low
A tankard was made of precious
metals of pewter cr of wood Among
the most ancient specimens are the
peg tankards These are said to have
been introduced by St Dunstan as a
check on the intemperance of his day
Pegs marked the tankard at intervals
beyond which the drinker was not to
go else lie had more than his com
rades But curiously enough this de
vice proved the means of aggravating
the evil it was intended to remedy for
as a refinement on St Dunstans sim
ple plan the most abstemious drinkers
were required when the tankard went
round to drink precisely to a peg indi
cated whether their heads could stand
the amount of such distempering
draft or not Thence comes the
phrase He is a peg too low London
Spectator
Servant Girls n Defoes Day
It is evident from the comment be
low found in Gleanings After Time
that there is nothing new to be said
on the servant question
Defoe castigating the extravagances
of uis time fell foul of the downward
spread of fashion His theme was a
familiar one the heinousness of a
servant girls attempt to imitate her
mistress costume
Her neat leathern shoes Defoes
amusing indictment runs are now
transformed into laced ones with high
heels her yarn stockings are turned
into the woolen ones with silk clocks
and her high wooden pattens are kick
ed away for leathern clogs She must
have a hoop too as well as her mis
tress and her poor linsey woqlFey pet
ticoat is changed into a good silk one
four or five yards wide at the least
Not to carry the description further
in short plain country Joan is now
turned into a fine city madam can
drink tea take snuff and carry herself
as high as the best
