than separate cards where two or per

same is true of cards that unmarried

And thus divide the cost. 1t is of course

The prefix must be on the cards of all

cards OF men.

OCTOBER WEEK-ENDS
SPENT IN THE COUNTRY

The summer spirit is still abroad,
and the weekend habit clings TO many
of us whose vacations were things of
the past weeks ago. A large hotel near
town has been empty during the last
two weeks except from Saturday to
MOndav when 1t was so crowded that
the wandering automobilist who ar
rived unheralded had TO sleep on the
billiard table IL he insisted upon being
put up for the night
The regime of the week-enders at
this season is very simple and sensi-
BILE They arrive weary and tagged
On Saturday for dinner, and after that
meal they sit on the broad veranda
which overlooks the Hudson. winding
in and among the hills like silver
serpent. There are tables on the ver-
anda, and a few of the more energetic
ones play cards, but most of them sit
in their cavernous chairs and chat,
dream. and browse until bedtime
But what a difference in the morn
ing. The weary and wan week-enders
of the night before are as fresh and
clipper as il they had been away for
a week. They come down to breakfast
in good humor, which is served on the
veranda If one wishes to begin the day
out of doors.
After this meal the unregenerate start
for the links, some OF them staying
there all day and getting a bite at the
club instead of returning for luncheon.
Those too proper or TOO lazy 10 play
golf loll In the garden with book or
papers, walk along the hilly roads. go
on mushroom hunts, or drive. There
are even some who go TO church and
listen to a sermon by a sunburned
clergyman who can play golf and has
an auto that he drives himself. The after
moons are much like the morning-rest
and peace, fresh air, and respite from
the turmoil, from the dust and noise
OF the city.
One woman who spends every week
end at this haven takes her hammock
with her aind sleeps IN II all Sunday
afternoon. She is a busy, nervous crea-
ture and r.ec<s rest more than exercise
Sleep and fresh air are her prescriptions.
and so she combines the two once a
week
Another regular visitor 10 this resort
Is n woman VINO has been nursing an
invalid sister for months. As the illness
is OF the most tedious and trying nature
and there IS no prospect OF the devoted
nurse being relieved from her self-im-
posed duty for some time to come. her
doctor has ordered her TO have change

OF scene at least once a week. At first
she took a mere day Off" and went
calling or shopping, leaving the invalid
In the nurses charge. But il always
happened that she was called upon be-
fore the day was over.
Now she leaves town and her anxieties
behind her. She says the plan has done
her nerves world of good At first she
started every time she heard the tele-
phone ring, thinking II was a summons
for her, and she worried all night in
stead OF sleeping. Now she can forget
everything for twenIy-four hours and
returns TO town on Sunday night re-
freshed and optimistic, ready 10 battle

patience and firmness the whims and
exactions of the pain-racked sufferer.

ENGLISH LETTERS ON CARDS
REPLACED BY FRENCH SCRIDT

There are few changes in visiting
cards from those used last season. but
such as exist must be rigidly observed.
Cards for married women are three
and the board is gray. white. and thin.
Those for unmarried women may be a
bit smaller. although older unmarried
women may use the same size as that
selected by their married sisters If they
prefer. Mems cards are two and seven
eighths inches long by one and one-half
inches wide. and the club address Is
put In the right-hand lower corner. If
man has no club the house address may
be used.
Good form still demands that the fun

Brown is not permitted. Mrs. James
Henry Brown is used instead. and on
the lower right-hand corner is put the
address, which etiquette DEGREES shall be
" written in full, no numerals being used.
For instance, card reads:
Mrs. James Henry Brown
Seven hundred and two Park avenue
In case of the address being so long
that il cannot go on one line il reads:
Mrs. James Henry Brown.
One hundred and eighteen
Arlington avenue.

cause II costs far less than the other
two styles. 1t is not 10 be desired, how

Married women may use cards on
which both the husbands and wife's
names are used. as
Mr.. and Mrs. James Brown Smith.
These are sent In when a woman Is
calling upon another woman, but never
IL a card is to be sent 10 the man of
the family. In that case Mrs Smith
sends one of her own, and two of her
husbands, one for her hostess, and the
other for the hostess husband. Separ-
ate cards are still supposed to be sent
TO each member of a family for whom
one asks, but the custom has been car
ried 10 such an extreme that rarely
more than two cards are left now. II

Sunday morning at an early hour,

ed from a pistol shot wound in the
back Of the neck. the ball ranging
upward and coming out in the mouth.
The body was identified as that Of
one Of two wandering minsuels"
who arrived in town Saturday and
spent the day ant nicht playing and
singing on the streets and in the sa-
looms. A small amount of money
together wi b half a pint Of wbiskcy
and other small and invaluable ar
ticles were found ON the corpse and
bis violin was lying beside him,
broken, be having fallen upon it II
was learned that the negro's name
was win Amos, but up to this writ
ing that is all that has been learned.
The whole matter is one Of mystery
not yet solved, but it is hoped by
tie coroner and jury that evidence
will be forthcoming which VIII re-
