weather We have been put to IT To
know what 10 do in the way Of amusing
ourselyes being chained in durancc vile
I, the hotel while the rain pours in torrents.
There are such numbers Of people here row
though. that one need not be lonely for a
moment nor dull. ~ among 80 many
there is always something TO do. The
ladies' have taken to playing whist and
eucbrc Al the most astonishing rate, and
the biz parlor is strewn with card tables
RECEPTION ROOM
Perhaps the most interesting place during
| these dark DAYS is thc reception room where
| there is great open fire blazing away all
/ day lOug-hcro. may be- seen the. scrlbe-,
writing at such a rate that did you MOI
| know they had little else tO do, YOU would
think the letters of vital Importance ana no
90 by the next mail" The fact is, As some
one said to-day, you always think 0l your
| friends more on rainy days and then j.
the time You wish 90 communicate
| with them" Hail the crowd iu
/ this room are writing, and the other half,
J sitting over tine fire. are doing all they can
TO break up connected discourse of any
/ kind. Men seem to feel tine boredom of
rainy weather more than women. ana may
/ be seen sitting around ln detected attitudes,
drowsily reading the papers. However. it
| has been suggested that man, poor man. ~
not So blue as hc looks. pOrng over his
newspapers, for he remember, that, in spite
Of humidity. his friend. the tiger Is ever
near. and behind q growing front may hidc
| a winning hand.
ROOM PARTIES.
The dear girls have a good time Gin spite
.l..s. I...f Nff.r. l.

style OF entertainment is something 90 eat,
candy or fruit. q number Of Lively girls. %
GOOD big r0om plenty OF rocklng-chaire
and wrappers for all; the girl, do the rest
| and through the lon- afternoons thcy keep
lup AN endless stream of chatter and glgGlc
and come len 90 supper a little late, smiling
and gay, eyes fairly sparkling with the
memory ot the last good thin-

besieged with callers every hour during the
ldav. I'm they come. Just let me look DO

book i'm hcre?" by the way. did you meet
the man who came to-day: Ilc looked Ike
"a " IVY hat DO you think, two more
girls. good-lo0kiu-. too, have come by the
last train" and ,o 10 goes all day long,
each one coming with some excuse, ''to ,li
a while and talk"
Think not the children are pining hoin
ouuui in Chi. irving weather. Just outside
