Some drawing rooms seem to have
been arranged for the special purpose
of making conversation in them an a b
solute impossibility The chairs are
primly arrangcd- the Ia bles have a set
look. the very cushions on the lounges
sit bolt upright The woman who
ventures upon a remark on any subject
b-. the weather in such a room feels
that she has committed an improperly.
Tete-a-tetes are impossible. Groups
are impossible. Whatever is said must
be shouted aloud to the whole as
sembv.
There are other rooms where MOTH
ing but rickety tables. spindle-legged
chairs, palms, and curtained rec~sses
are to be found The unfortunate guest
is bound to knock over table or fall
against cabinet. or overthrow a tall
lamp in her progress from the door 10 the
hostess corner. Such room has at
fractions only for the young person
with a fondness for solitude n deux"
chind portieres or banks Of ferns, and
she is not an important enough being
to have her tastes SO considered.
In the ideal drawing-room the chairs
are near enough together to allow Of
confidential chatting and far enough
apart Ia make more than one group n
possibility. The tables unite grace and
strength. and will not topplc over at

SO dim as to make the newcomer feel
that she is walking by faith and not by

Capt Picking at Rio .Ianeiro was

tanned details that he did not care TO

that a report mad been received at Rio
of revolutionary trouble at Pernam-

not inclined to believe it After the
dispatch had been translated Secretary
Herbert called on Secretary Gresham

Mr. Herbert told United Press re-
porter that Capt. Picking had not sent
any information concerning probable
movements Of Admiral Mello's fleet 70
