social life at the capital the beautiful and fas-

Philadelphia.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Reyburn were born in
Ohio. Mrs. Reyburn was Miss Margueretta
Crozier. Her mother was Miss Atkinson, of one
Of the earliest families which settled in the
eastern section of Ohio. Her father, Robert

women Of those days. In 1878 she again
passed the gay months of one Congress at
Washington, her husband having again ac-
cepted a nomination, which was equivalent TO
an election. TO the lower house. At this time
in the family of Representative and Mrs. Far
well were three daughters, the eldest. Anna,

hood, and the younger, Grace and Rose. in
their schoolgirl years. The eldest, now Mrs.

Mrs De Koven is one of the most beautiful
and admired of the younger matrons of Chi
cago, where she was born She had the advan-
tages not only OF the highest feminine educa-
tlOn. but with her natural gifts having been
carefully cultivated she is a woman of unusual
brilliance in the fashionable world. Her mar
riage few years ago has not interrupted the
qualification OF taste for literature and its
practical application. Being a skilled linguist
she has prepared translations of popular writ
ings which have attracted attention in the lit
erary and reading world.
She has also produced many clever writings
in prose and poetry. Mr.. Reginald De Koven
is Of Holland ancestry and is also connected BY
ties OF blood and marriage with some OF the
oldest aud most prominent families of New

prevailed in centers where the game otherwise
would have had many exhibitions The Scotch
mans love for curling, his winter game, is so
great that he has invented another game that
takes its place even in the hot season. and in
winters like this 1t is played the year round.
The game is bowling" very different af-
fair from the game known In our country by
the same name. Bowling" is as nearly as pos
sible transfer Of curling to smooth turf.
In every town of Scotland of any size what
ever there Is public green set apart for bowl

eminent for bowling. l wandered in last fall,
as the gate was open, and sat on turf bench
games were in progress at the time on the
same turf, and presently, fourth hand being
required to start a new game, was invited to
join.
For this paid the enormous sum of one
penny. which privileged me to play for one
cipai law to resign my hand in order that others
might come in.
There is nothing corresponding to this in
American cities unless the teams grounds re-
served in Central Park at New York be ex-
cepted; but in Scotland not only are the
grounds reserved and kept by the city, but the
implements of play are also furnished These
are simply balls and piece of oil cloth about
three feet square, which is placed on the turf
to save the grass at the point where the play
ers deliver their shots.
A bowling green may be of any size. Usu-
ally it is about 100x150 feet. On such surface
four or five games may be in progress at once.
Private clubs arrange their grounds in the
same way, but private players in that case
keep their own balls, which have been turned
to suit their respective tastes.

adopt the game in any locality
In Scotland every player has his own set Of
four balls turned according to the shape he
most desires and according to the weight
which is most favorable for his STYLE On the
public greens there is a uniform weight and
style which naturally conflicts with the best
individual play. But If any hard wood is used

self as to the other requirements. only bearing
in mind that very slight depression of one
surface is necessary to enable the ball to make
the curve demanded in the most skillful
delivery. FREDERICK r. Burton.
