and west pairs moves up one table to-
wards the west, for instance, and their
boards move down one table to the east
When the players and their original eight
boards meet again each north and south
pair will have played against each east
and west pair, and every pair will have
played the whole "a boards only once
through.
score sheet is kept by each pair and
the number of tricks taken by each hand
is marked down in its proper place. The
totals for each eight boards are compared
before the players leave the table. For in
stance, north and south take seven tricks
on board l, east and west must neceSsar-
lily make six. If north and south take
thirty tricks on the eight boards east and
west will have taken seventy-four. The
total must foot eight times thirteen, or
104 tricks When play is ended all the
north and south scores are added up and
the total divided by the number of tables
operated This gives the average on that
side. The same thing is done with the
scores of east and west and their average
given. Pairs making the above average
have gained and those below have lost.
The highest gains show the best play as
rule. In compass whist the comparison is
made between pairs sitting on the same
side during the evening. 1t frequently hap
pens that the pair playing the best game
fail to make the best score This appar-
ent paradox is possible. One pair may
play so poorly against an inferior pair
that the latter will gain several tricks. At
the next table the same pair may play out
of sight. In other words, two poor players
may have tricks enough given them to
make the high score for the evening. In
seasons play, however, the best players
will be al the top.
An interesting law case recently tried in
Syracuse, N. Y, developed the legal abil-
ity of Counsel Julia Jenny, prominent
society girl of Syracuse N. Y, whose
study of Jaw and admission to the bar ca
pacitated her to act as counsel for the de-
Tense in a railroad case, in which she has
as her opposing counsel ex-senator His
cock, one of the most distinguished bar
risters in New York state.
The story of Miss Jennys entering the
profession of the law and that of her sis
ter now studying to be Unitarian minis
ter would furnish interesting matter for
an up-to-date American novel.
The young ladies are the daughters of
Hon. William Jenny, prominent lawyer
and social leader of Syracuse, ". Y. They
are strikingly pretty, Of the brunette col
oring and women essentially of the socie-
ty type in their stylish appearance.
Shortly after Miss Julia Jenny made her
debut she became engaged and the time of
her marriage was appointed. About three
months previous to the prospective event
her nancee died suddenly and for quite
a year afterwards she refused to take any
part in the social world.
During that time she became intereSt ted
in the reading of her fathers law books
and finally determined to make a system
attic study of law. She was a graduate
CT Vassar College and had little difficulty
in passing the competitive examination adj
hitting her to Cornell University. She
completed the course of law in that inst-
tuition and acquitted herself with distin-
! guished honors. on her return home her
! father opposed her becoming a regular
practitioner, but pereeiving her deter
! mination TO be full fedged lawyer, he
retained her in his office, where she be
/ came a member of the firm.
Her usual preference for an occupation
| that deprived her of any but the recreation
/ she might claim after business hours was
| generally attributed by her friends to the
! sorrow she still suffered in the loss of her
afianced husband, but the recent entrance
| Of her younger sister in the Unitarian min
! istry has diminished the idea of sentiment
being altogether the cause of her chosen
vocation.
When her sister, Miss Marie Jenny,
| made her debut, she received the same at
tentions as did her sister, the young at
torney," but she had scarcely time to de-
! Velop a romance OF a bright or pathetic
nature before she created the greatest
sensation in the social realm of Syracuse
by declaring her determination to become
| a Unitarian minister. She entered the
theological seminary in Pennsylvania and
will complete a four-year course this year,
| and in her piquant girlish beauty will
| present a unique figure in the pulpit of
| the Unitarian church. She is about %
years old, her lawyer sister about q.
A northern newspaper describing the lat
rail n
| case says:
"All through the greater part of the
session yesterday a young, pretty and
| well-dressed woman sat quietly in one of
| the rear seats in the court room. AS wo-
! men seldom appear in the appellate court,
there was much speculation among those
| present as to who she was and what had
occasioned her presence there. Late in the
afternoon. when the case of Charles f.
Milen, respondent, against the New York
Central Railroad Company, appellant was
/ called up for argument, the young wo-
man, to the establishment of everybody in
the room, calmly arose and walked up be-
| fore the bar, where she took a seat as
one the counsel Ex-United States Sena-
tor Frank Hiscock of Syracuse appeared
as attorney for the railroad company and
then Ii transDired that the woman repre-
scented the respondent in the case.
This lady was Miss Julia Jenny of Syr-
acuse, member of the well known law
firm Of Jenny & Marshall of that citv."
Fashion Notes.
If we would be quite in fashion accord
ing to the French standard, we must ar
range the hair very high on the head so
that not one little bit of a coil shall ap-
pear below the hat. 1t must be waved
and pulled out very full all around, but
the knot is perched up on the highest
point.
Pearls. the royal jewels of India. are to
be very much worn this summer by ma
irons as well as young girls, and pearls
of great value and marvellously low prices
can be procured now on account of the In
dian famine, which has necessitated the
sale of some old heirlooms
