billiards because they can dress for the
game and look their most graceful at 1t,
something which cannot be said OF bowl
ing.
The place for a billiard table is on the
second floor. The basement of a house
is given up to the servants and the first
floor to parlor and dining room space.
but the rear second floor Is tne ideai ior
the billiard table, as here the lord OF the
manor can bring his friends for nice
little game without fear of being detected at
home by his wife's friends who might
claim him. And vice versa a woman can
escape from callers a nd with q select party
play billiards all rainy afternoon or even

prizes are small mementoes of war-little

house any evening you need not be startled
to hear tiny explosions like the swapping
of pistol in the woods. Yoy can pass
