The dancing masters have again met In
serious discussion over the dances that are to
be proper during tho ensuing year. They have
not been oblivious TO the chief interest OF the
day. and some OF their labors are described By
the names Of the heroes In the late war. Ad-
miral Dewey. Of course. came in for his share
OF distinction. and one OF the latest arrange
ments is to be known by his name. The
teachers stick TO their annual task of deyising

One Of the royalties whose pictures Ameri-
can tourists were rarely able to add to their
collections OF photographs was the late En-
press Of Austria. The Emperor Of Germany
is possibly the easiest to obtain in any fashion
that may be desired. and the rest Of the Euro
'pean sovereiRns. in somewhat less varied
styles. are accessible enough. But the En-
press Of Austria had not been photographed
for many years before her death. The picture
Of her that was sold most frequently shows her

mer One condition which has added strength
to this protest is the complaint that ''over
Sunday" men are not nearly 30 easy to get as
they used to be. The clubs near the city make
golf available to many men who do not care to
undertake the hardship Of an early trai on
Monday morning. With the possibility Of not
being able TO play on Sunday, their eagerness
TO accept invitations is even less than It would
more IN the estimation Of the women than the
difficulties thrown In the way Of getting Sum
day men. 30 the movement against Sunday
prohibitions is gaining many allies who are

for golf courses from persons who gave 1t with
