The approaching of the autumn leads to
the question. what is to be the leading
drawing-room amusement the coming sea-
son. Though progressive euchre has had
run of several seasons it still holds its
own, there being nothing forthcoming, moth
ing to supplant it. 1t has many points in
its favor. No restraint is placed on con-
versation. guests are not confined at one
table all the evening, nor do they play with
the same players long. There is no form
of entertainment at which, when once the
guests are assembled, so little is required of
a hostess.
The attendance at the various lawn tennis
tournaments the past summer demonstrates
very clearly that for spectators the game is
very stupid one. AS all exercise, how
ever, it is hardly surpassed by any game
play, exercising, as it does, all the muscles,
but not too violently. Some doctors claim
that the exercise is too violent for ladies,
and have interdicted it to their patients.
