As to Dinners, Cards
 And Bridge WhiSf.

Dinners however, although very elsb- crate as to decorations and appointments, are not as long or as marked by rich viands and wines as formerly. The host or hostess, in fact, who Is able to serve or have served dainty repast of three or four courses, with a well-chosen and wel-iced brand of champagne, and can carry this through so that his or her guests can get in a little late to the theatre or opera, or more often to their bridge tables, is now the most popular. In fact, comments a writer in the New York World, not only dinners but lunch cons and breakfasts and almost every form of social entertaining in New York lead up, as they did at the time of the Georges to cards. The social student or philosopher who will take up Thackeray's 8 "Yirginians" and read again that clever description of the life at Tunbridge Wells in the eighteenth century, where the Baroness Bernstein welcomed her young kinsman, Harry Warrener. from Virginia, to her routs and card parties and where, instead of bridge and seven-handed euchre the more old-fashoned lansquenet and
 
 scription how, through the centuries, fashion, society and human nature re- peat themselves. In more modern set ting the atmosphere of Tunbrdge Wells and it's little company of society gam blers in the time of "The Virginians' Is being repeated on a larger scale in New York today. Perhaps the stakes are not as high as rule as those for which the Baroness Bernstein and her guests played perhaps the talk Is not quite so broad as was theirs, but the same pas sions and emotions are now induced and inspired by the society gaming of to- day as existed and gave ground to the great novelist or his clever and satirical story.
 This is one side of the picture of mod ern society life in New York, and If am other side did not exist there would be grounds for and fear of a decadence which might result disastrously to future generations. But, as In the time of the Georges, the very license of social life brought its own relief in the purer and better atmosphere of the Victorian era, so at the present time there Is already reaction against the excessive card-play- ing which has been the fashion, especially among the women of society, during the past few years. Already the men of fam fly are beginning to protest against so much card-playing and this of itself is having effect while the devotion of so many young men and women to outdoor sports and life Is also taking them away from the card tables during most of the year. Just at present the winter weather, which prevents hunting and automobiling and keeps people indoors, conduces to

ITO live in hearts we leave behind IL
not to die" said the poet most truly.
1t is an immortality which comes in
larger measure to but a chosen few.
One of these lives in the heart of every
school boy who has declaimedfrom the
rostrum on Friday afternoon the stir

He may not know whose brain ia
thered the lines he is making embryot-
ic oratory out of, but the author lives
on. nevertheless. The late Rev. Elijah
Kellogg, for so years pastor Of the Con-
gregational church in Hauswell, Me-,
was the writer of those oft spoken
verses, says the New York Herald.
In recognition Of his writings, AZ
well as his long pastorate, a memorial
bell to his memory has beer recently
hung in the belfry Of the house Of wor-
ship whose pulpit he filled SO long with
his kindly presence. His ministry ex-
tended over a wide field in the pas

TRADING IN FURS TO-DAY.
Some ~Interssti.g Particulars e ~
Business In the HuAsea
Bay Country,

First Of all, when .an Indian arrives
to trade at a Hudson bay post, then,
furs in the pack must be sorted, sill
yer fox worth $500 separated from
cross fox and blue and white worth
from ten dollars down. according %
quality, and from common red fox,
worth less. Twenty years ago, says an
article on Hudson Bay company, in
Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly, it was
no unusual thing for the Hudson Bay
company to send to England yearly TO-
900 cross fox skins, 1908 blue, 100, 600
red, half dozen silver. Few wolf skins
are in the trapper's pack, unless par
t~icularly fine specimens Of brown arc
tic and white arctic, bought as a Gu
riosity. and o for value as skins
Against the wolf the trapper wages
war as against a pest that destroys
other game. and o for it's skin. Next
to muskrat, the most plentiful fur will
be that of the rabbit or varying hare.
Buffalo was once the staple Of the hunt
err. What the buffalo was. the white
rabbit is to-day. From it the Indian
gets clothing. tepee covers, blankets,
thongs, food. From it. the white man
who is q manufacturer OF furs gets
gray fox and chinchilla, and seal in
Imitation. Except one year in seven.
when a rabbit plague spares the Land
by cutting down their prolific numbers.
the varying hare is plentiful enough to
sustain the Indian.
