New York society is not in a peniten-

Lent on Wednesday next brings no ces-
sation Of gayeties and certainly not the
slightest suggestion Of fasting, either WIN
or without sackeloth and ashes. True
there is nothing Of any importance on
the program. for Ash Wednesday, save
the opera, st which the fashionable set
precisely owing to the absence or any
entertainment of note elsewhere VIII be
more extensively represented than usual.
OF course there is no truth IN the story
that Manager Conried intends to furnish
US that evening with a performance OF
tAsehenbrodr' (Cinderella), in honor Of
It's being Ash Wednesday. He prefers

London "Punch."

It was concocted In the back parlor Of
a public house. behind Drury Lane
Theatre. The first editor of Punch"
was the landlord OF that tavern. and In
that room assembled almost every night
some of the most lively wits OF the
day-more noted, as Dion Boucicault
tells, for wit than money. The landlord
made punch, and around the. bowl those
men would sit drinking, smoking. and
cracking Jokes.
The landlord proposed that their Jokes
should not be wasted, that their wit
should start comic paper. A good idea;
but what name to give It?
What name? The child should have its
fathers name. And the landlord pointed
to the bowl OF punch. And the paper was
started. It struggled on for about a
year. and then was sold for one hundred

Odd. Customs
in Eating.

Singular customs are maintained by
many nations In theirrepasts. In prime
val times 1t was the habit Of most
savage tribes to eat their food alone In
the most secluded places. The Maldive
Islanders still observe this popularity.
They retire to the darkest part Of their
houses and hang curtains about them.
SO that none of their fellow-men may
see them at their meal.
On the contrary, the Philippine Islander
will not eat a meal alone. Whenever a
Filipino finds himself without compan-
ion with whom to share his meal he
will abstain from eating until he has
found one. Tx
The Tahitians. though naturally So
5ciabe race, dine separately. Even the
man and his wife do not eat together.
Each member OF the family has his own
food basket. They take their. places about
( five yards apart, and then. turning their
backs to each other, dine amid a pro-
found silence.
The Brazillans never eat when they
drink. nor drink when they eat; and the
3Tartars continually persist In pulling a
guest by the ear until he drinks
A.strange custom prevails In Kamchat-
Z ka, where a man who wishes to enter

Of Ancient Origin.

There are many children's games q
ancient origin. Among these IS the game
of hare and hounds. This sport, which
is stu played by the coming generat'o''''
originated In England about 1917.
The childish amusement OF riding i
cane is Of great antiqltty It was prac,
ticed by the children Of Greece at.o
ancient Rhine. a. :.
The game Of hide and seek is another
vouth fnl nastime Of ancient origin. It
came from Europe about the pesl''t'1s'
OF the seventeenth century. III
Leap-frog is mentioned in the works Of I
both Shakespeare and Johnson. It has
been played by children from early times
and is still favorlte game with boys.
The game of seeing who can hop the
longest on one foot came from the an
cient Creeks where it was practiced
by the youths for wagers..
Skipping rope Is a childish pastime OF
ancient origin. In place OF a rope, q
vine stripped OF leaves was originally
used.
The spinning Of tops. a favorite amuse-
ment among children in the spring, also
came from the Greeks. Records show
that this kind of fun was In vogue at
the time Of Vergil.
The flying kite derived Its name from
its originally being made to resemble
that species of bird called a kite. The
amusement Of kite flying is about two
centuries old In Europe. Probably 1t
originated In China, where, SO records
tell the practice of flying kites Is very
ancient.
