Society, are amazed when they come

they are allowed to wander aimlessly
about without any one showing the
smallest interest in their presence. The
Continental habit may often be a bore
when II is overdone, as sometimes nap
pens; but, on the other hand, II is IN
spired by the spirit of hospitality and
the desire to make the guests, individ-
ually as well as generally, feel at
home. by showing interest in them, ana
giving them, il necessary, fresh ac-
ouaintances to speak to. OF recent
years the misnamed 'at home" has
reached further development, which
makes its title even, greater ABSURD
ity than before.
AT homes are often given not In
the home of the entertainers. but at
some public hall or gallery, such as the
Grafton or New Galleries, or Princes.
The entire absence of any feeling or
personal interest which is the charac
teristic-in-chief of the modern al

owned that the hired gallery is a dis
tinct gain to most people concerned.
The hostess has the immense RELIEF OIL

Russian battleship Czareyitch made a
remarkable struggle When the bat
tie opened six battleships on each side
opposed each other in almost parallel
lines. In the vicinity OF Round island.
The cruisers and torpedo boat de
stroyers on both sides were ordered
