cheaper furniture than is quite salts.

ger wonders at the presense of a
smoking-room, for whether it is called
by the name or simply labelled "Tea
Room" the evidence of cigarettes is
abundant. Lately, too, the billiard
room has gained a footing. For a
time the Sandringfam was the pioneer
in this matter. It was soon initiated
by the Ladies' Army and Navy, the
Grosvenor Crescent, the New County
and the Lyceum, the last of which has

mornings to ambitious wives, sisters,
COUSINS, aunts and daughters who
want to give their male folks a decent
hundred up after dinner. For in this
respect the women's clubs have gone
beyond their masculine exemplars,
from which women are excluded as
vigorously as men are forbidden entry

ways of Europe and Australia that
they are now the lowest transportation
rates in the world.

paving her, and it's Charge, Carlo!"
