laughed, that his sole passion was TO &C.
quire fame, his most conspicuous weak
ness ''inordinate self-conceit." HE de-
lighted in artifice, and attempted to gain
his ends by indirect methods. He hardly
drank tea without stratagem." Lady
Boiingbroke said that 'he played the poll
tician about cabbages and turnips." Like
most invalids, ever in his own house he
was irritable and fussy to g degree. and
on account of his temper constantly got
into sad trouble with the literary men
his day.
Swift lived very constantly with Pope
at Twckenham, and here Pope was visited
by Voltaire, who. being invited to dine
with the poet. talked at the table with so
much indecency, especially with regard to
religion, that the poets mother was
obliged to ret re in disgust. Nevertheless,
Voltaire was invited to Twickenham
more than once subsequently. On one
occasion, waking in the garden, Pope
confidentiaily told Votaire that he was
himself the author of a certain ''occa-
sional letter." which had really been writ
ten Dy Lord Bolingbroke-such was his
vanity.
1t has been mentioned as proof of the
poets love of economy that he wrote most
of his verses on scraps of paper, and par
ticularly on the backs of letters.

ing thither from Chiswick. The subscrip-
tons for this work brought him in the
handsome sum OF $25.00o-a sum seldom
earned by single work even in these
halcyon days of successful authorship.
From this time may be dated the most
important portion of the poets career. He
was one OF the few literary men of his own
or any previous time who acquired a COM
potency through their dealings with the
booksellers.
OF Pope's personal appearance we have
the following description from the pen Of
Sir James Reynolds:
"He was about four feet six inches
high, very hump-backei and deformed.
He wore "a black coat, and according TO the
fashion of the time. had little sword.
He had large and very fine eye and a
long. handsome nose; his month had
those peculiar marks which are always
found in the mouths Of crooked persons,
and the muscles which ran across the
cheek were so strongly marked that they
seemed like small cords"
Pope's diminutive and misshapen per-
son was a standing joke with his enemies,
who caricatured him as a monkey in
library or with books.
1t is stated that Pope seldom or never

Trivial things though they may seem,
visiting cards play very important role
In our existence and constitute one of the
principal features of our social intercourse.
They are capable. TOO, of bestowing a great
deal OF pleasure. since their appearance at
your door usually denotes that the persons
whose names they bear desire to show YOU
courteous attention. They may be used to
express welcome to the neighborhood,
kindly congratulation in the case of any
piece OF good fortune, or sympathy in the
event of sorrow. Sometimes, too, they
announce with the mystic P. P. C. in the
corner. the departure of some undesirable
acquaintance. Hence, whether from one
reason or the other, visiting cards usually
furnish US with an agreeable sensation
when We survey them on our hail tables
on our return home.
There is a great deal more character in a
visiting card than most people would at
first be willing to believe. and from its
shape. appearance and from the manner
in which the name is inscribed thereon,
the recipient is often able to determine the
social status, the breeding-and the breed
as well-of its owner.
Thus the slightest exaggeration or de-
parture from the strictest simplicity,
either as regards the size, texture or letter.
ing is distinctly bad form. Mems cards
nowadays should be quite small and mar
row, the name printed in script without
any flourish or ornamentation. and the
card perfectly plain white, without any
suspicion of glaze or analogous kind of
fancy work. The Mr.. should be prefixed
to the name unless the bearer possesses
any rank above that of lieutenant In either
the regular army or navy.
There are many people who resent this
restriction and who are of the opinion that
avisiting card should indicate the various
honorary distinctions 10 which the owner
is entitled. In manual recently pub
lished, claiming to describe the etiquette
of New York society with regard TO visit
ing cards, read that it is customary to
affix the abbreviated intimation of strictly
honorary distinctions as LII. d., or d. D.,
or NJ. ID. to the name. This is altogether
wrong, and all such lettering is de trop,
for if once this were permitted, there

The bright skeins of lightning that girdied his

And added the thunder's loud roar to the strife,
While slowly preparing the new world for life.

Which proves beyond doubt-or to think 30 10

That he laid the foundations with wonderful
care;

Through which he intended the structure to

Father Time without doubt always did lead the

In fact, he's pattern of patience aud skill.
And though II 10 plain that he works with will
And does all he can for the good of mankind,

And revels in wrinkles and turns people gray,
And loves to deal beauty premature rap;
But 'twixt you and me he's a jolly old chap,
And though over fond OF his sickle aud glass.
He Joins in the sport OF the years as they pass,
And never considers himself out Uf place
In being on hand at q revel or race:
In fact he is ionder of froiic and fun,
Amusement and merrimcnt six times to one,
Assuming from what on the surface appears,
Than serious sermons, sad faces and tears,
For six days In seven his fun overfows,
While one is reluctantly given to woes

And though not invited 10 punctual as doom
And ma sure to be there as the bride or the

And why not? We ask. since twas his tender

And nurtured the roses, the grooms special

Information concerning the status and
social rank of the owner of the card should

may add, however. is done in certain con-
tinental countries of Europe. Thus in
Italy. a man, when even remotely related to
some princely family, such as that of the
COlOnna, Is accustomed to inscribe on his
card beneath his name the words, "Degli
Principi COlonna." Foreigners, especially
Americans, are often misled by this into
the belief that the owner of the card is
himself Prince Colonna, and only too
late do they discover. oftentimes to their
cost, that he is no prince at all, but merely
a remote and extremely distant cousin or
relative by marriage of one of the real
princes Of Colonna. 1 have also known of
an old French nobleman, the Count Viii
Tiers OF rlste Adam who had inscribed on
his visiting cards, "Candidat la Success
sion de Rois de Chypre ct Jerusalem"

acquaintance who are supposed to De ac-
guainted with all the claims to distinction
as regards both birth and rank of the

them on the card is an act of self-assertion

that the proprietor Of the card considers

reminded of his social eminence and rank
One of the most objectionable pieces'of
rudeness which, regret to say. is becoming
more and more frequent. is that of send
