WHO SAID RENO
HAD AN ICE TRUST :

The SENTINEL's Reno correspondent
several weeks ago stated that an ice trust
had been formed in Reno between the
Reno Cold Storage plant and the Union
Ice Company, a California corporation.
This statement was most emphatica.!y
denied by a stakeholder OF the Cold Stor-
age Company in one of the Reno papers.
After reading the following from the
Reno Gazette Of July 7 it will be seen
that no trust was formed, but that the
two ice corporations just formed a "com-
bine" to guarantee a proper division Of
the profits:
John F. Aitken, who has furnished the
town with ice for years has retired from
the ice business. 1t happened in this
way. The Union Ice Company formed a
combination with the ice plant Of the
Reno Ice and Cold Storage Company
whereby the Union Company agreed to
be satisfied with 60 per cent OF the Reno
ice business and to let the local company
handle the other 40 per cent OF the traffic.
The Union Company agreed not to sell
any one but the local company any ice.
Mr.. Aitken did not put up any ice last
Winter and as his frozen goods are now
gone he can't get any more ice. This
Winter he expects to put up a crop and
be in the channel next Summer. In the
meantime the Union Ice Company and
the Reno Cold Storage and Ice Company
have o monopoly on the ice trade.

lon and pay personal call on another?
1t may occupy too much space to enter
at length into the why and the wherefore
OF these points In card leaving, 1t is
enough for the purpose of this article to
say what is done under given circum-
stances.
Broadly speaking, to leave cards after
being entertained by friend or acquaint-
ance implies slight recognition of the
civility received. The distinction made
between leaving cards after dance or
reception and calling after a dinner party
Is very sensible one, as to receive calls
from one to three hundred people, even
IL spread over week, would be more
than most women would care to go
through, but to receive the calls Of from
ten to fifteen dinner guests would be
pleasant rather than irksome. Again.
these calls are reduced In number in
most instances by the wives only call

ing and leaving their husbands cards,
while bachelors calls are never over
numerous, even after dinner parties. The
time allowed to elapses before paying
these calls is rather in favor of the call
er's convenience. A call need not be
made within the current week IL more
convenient to postpone it until the fol-
lowing one, but between. the most init
mate friends it cannot be dispensed with
without some excuse being made for the
omission, absence from home. press of
engagements, and the like reasons, but
something must be said to prove that, II
the right thing has not been, done, 1t was
not from want Of knowledge Of what was
due OH the occasion.
When these calls are made 1t is under
stood that very little is said respecting
the previous dinner party; 1t is not dis
oussed. as. after ten days. 1t has become
ancient history, but word is said early
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-08-06

visit, therefore is not expected from them.
After dance 1t Is not the rule for any
OF the guests who have been present to
ask II the hostess Is at home, but merely
TO leave cards, and If this is not done i'm
med1ately after the event this card leav-
ing might be considered as actual calling,
when not to ask for the hostess would be
to place the calling on a different footing.
Concerning the cards that should be
left. A mother leaves her own card. with
her daughters names upon 1t, but not
her husbands card, as, naturally, he is
not invited. A young married lady, on
the contrary, does leave her husbands
cards, he having been invited, and
whether present or not. his cards, in con-
sequence, are left When young girls
are invited without their mothers by the
friends and acquaintance of the latter
the same routine OF card leaving is fol-
lowed. the mothers cards are left, with
