We are constantly adding to the num-
Der Of our acquaintance in the Old
World. Cabinet shake-ups do the bust
ness for us. Every week or two there
Is n clash between the legislative and ad-
ministrative branches OF some foreign
government. and the lacquer and brio
a-brac are knocked off a Cabinet and n
lot of new men come to the front to re-
furniture.
The cable dispatches inform us about
these individuals. giving their surnames
only, which seem to be enough at the
start, as we are not expected to ask
them to our houses to dinner or to bor-
row money from them until we become
better acquainted. Every fresh batch Of
names suggested and sent In for Cabi-
net Is cabled over to us. and in this way
we get to know people that we never
knew before.
1t Is certainly a cheerful privilege we
enjoy, and We think we would feel a bit
worried II a week were to go by and we
were not to wake up In the morning and
