LONDON CLUBS.
The Unsocial Character of English
Clubs

The English club is place to live in.
In one of these clubs member lives for
FIVE hundred pounds year about as well
as he could live for FIVE thousand a year IN
his own house. He, of course, wishes to
make the club his own hou e, so far as may
be. This fact explains the sclitariness Of
these institutions. The member wishes to
find in them the independence, the prl-
vacy, and, In sense, the solitude OF his
own house. The great clubs are therefore.
designedly unsocial. Many Of the features
of the clubs accord with this intention.
This is perhaps the reason OF the. plain
decoration and the absence Of pictures
from the walls 1t is thought that club
should be prevented from looking like
drawing-room; The notion is, that rather
than look like a drawing-room it should
look like an hotel-the sug-
gestion being perhaps that the mem
bers are strangers to one another as
people who meet in an hotel are But, of
course, it should look like neither. There
is no treating, the feeling Of the member,
perhaps, being that his liberty would be
interfered with by being expected to drink,
Or even by being asked to drink. Those
pleasant weekly or monthly suppers usual
in American clubs are unknown
Comfortable solitude rather than society
being the object of these great London
clubs, it is obvious that society is not to
be sought for in them. Social enjoyment
and social position are to be sought else
where. Men, do not acquire position by
belonging to cubs. The intention, of
course, is that only men of a certain posi-
ton, shall be let into these clubs. If, as
sometimes happens, man of a different
position gets in, the advantage he receives
is slight.
It is also true that the fact of belong
ing to good club il of little advantage in
general society. Membership of a good
club-whatever may have been formerly
the case-nowadays confers no social posi-
tion.-From London and American
Clubs" by E. S. Nadal, in March Scrib-
ner.

that the knowledge would be of great
benefit to the service.
AND THIS is HOW HE DID 1T.
The mah agreed. He was cool as a
cucumber when he told US. Why he
said, 1T was the easiest and simplest thing
in the world. You see knew what you

The Sun man noticed five men in Bat
terry park looking fixedly at a lone man
who occupied bench on the other side of
the walk, and when it had continued
seven or eight minutes and the man had
seemingly fallen to sleep he beckoned to
one of the five and asked:
"What is wrong ABOUT that man over
there?"
He's trying to blk the crowd"
''Do you know him?''
"No."
whats his game? If he isn't right
why don't you call an officer?"
why, it's just here. He chews tobac
co. So do ali of US. He wants chew
the worst way, but he's afraid to take
out his plug for fear we'll ask for a nip,
which, of course we should do, not having
any ourselves.
But why doesn't he walk away and
take his chew?"
WED put him down for a sneak"
"Well, he's gone to sleep"
'All put on, sir. He's only pretending.
Wants to tire US out, you know, but he
can't do it. By and by, when he can't
stand it no longer, he'll out with the
navy and it'll be a chaw all around.
That's the rule and the custom and he
mustn't go agin it. It's what they call
moral suasion, sir, and never knew it to
fail. IN. Y. Times.

A PHoROGRAPHER's STORY.
Plan of Woman Who Took No Risks OIL
Love letter..

81 had an experince the other day which
has in crested me more than anything
of a similar nature which has happened
to me in all my business experience. A
Young lady who moves in the best society
brought me three letters and | photograph
ed them for her and at her request de-
stroyed the negatives. The letters were
the most tender and ardent love missives
imaginable. They were addressed to the
young lady herself and were signed by
name which | am sure you would recognize
instantly were | to mention it. | will
confess that curiosity got the better of my
judgement, and | finally Sc i'd:
You'll pradon me, but this job is a
little unusual isn't it?
is it?' she said smiling.
at strikes me so, replied | don t
see why you want photographs of the let
tiers since you have the letters them
selves.
Don t you! Well, do. Suppose the
letters were to be lost or burned or de-
stroy ed in some other way?'i
.'Would't the photographs be destroyed
just as easily as the letters?''
Perhaps not; especially if they were
not kept in the same place with the let
