continuity hard to attain. AS the
pictures were taken at odd moments. it
was very hard, after an interval OF
day or two to rearrange the back
grounds just where they had been
placed before, to remember what the
last gesture Of the heroine ar hero had
been, and just where she or he stood
in relation to the surroundings. While
the pictures ere being thrown
upon the sheet the author reads the
story. The whole contrivance is very
ingenious and entirely original. The
We go from the Grand Central station
to the roof of the Equitable building,
and see in the distance New York bay
and familiar landmarks. Then we
cross Brooklyn bridge pausing while
Dy one OF the towers. Our heroine
walks on Fifth avenue from Madison
square to Central park, and arrived
there she visits the Zoo where we see
the old elephant Juno. And so the
story reveals to the eye many familiar
scenes. AT the end, after the applause,
rh actors all appear on the screen, and
these curiously lifelike counterfeit pre-
sentiments acknowledge the kind recep-
ton which they have just met.
Costume dinners and teas are often
given by those who are searching for
novelty. THESE are successfully carried
out. for New York has grown to be
such cosmopolitan place that one
can easily find persons of any nation
atty II one needs assistance in getting
up these affairs. There are Japanese
cooks whom one can hire if one wishes
TO give Japanese dinner, and
Japanese dishes upon which to serve
the meal, can be bought at any price
one wishes to pay. The dinner is eaten
seated on the floor The mattresses
could be real japanese girls. or young
women dressed to simulate them. This
scheme could be carried out with more
or less elaboration, and the Eastern
countries offer us a vast field from
which we may select something to
vary the monotony of our conventional
manner of entertaining our guests.
An annual custom of the Staid men,
oerS or the conservative old Century
cup IN New York is to have a merry
making on Twelfth night, and for once
IN uhelr lives to put aside all dignity
and enjoy themselves thoroughly. The
scheme is for all the members to dress

spree is said to have been very original
ana amusing, and although the club is
only frequented by the members
thereof, and although everything whic1,
takes place within its walls is supposed
TO be more or less private, still we
heard rumorS of this particula~ f11nc
ton which made us regret moe than
ever that we were not privileged to be
included among those present. The
members of this club. however, grac-
iously threw the doors open the follow
ing Saturday and Sunday, and wives
and daughters and sweethearts ffocked
IN large numbers to catch a GLIMPSE
of the mysterious, fascinating place.
The picture gallery was most enter
tanning, containing as it did the Won
derfully clevel caricatures which had
been painted to adorn it's walls for
the Twelfth Night celebration. All
these pictures are done in a friendly
spirit, but yet hold up to ridicule the
modern fads of art. The impression
lists are the ones who suffer the most
and it is strange how we recognize in
these exaggerated canvases the orig
inals whom they are intended to
