Sociability.
From the Roanoke Times


Friends may visit each other for years,
meet in business and at social gatherings,
but there Ia nothing that serves to estab-
fish the ties of enduring friendship more
firmly than to meet under the home roof
and at the festal board We invite only
our friends to take meal with US, and
those who are not friends will not accept
the invitation. There is something about
this particular act of social courtesy that
bars insincerity. and 1t Is indeed rare that
anything but continued friendship results
from this interchange of courtesies
1t Is not difficult to recall the time when
1t was almost considered a breach of social
etiquette to make visit to the home OF
friend and not remain to take a meal, ana
was considered such, If the visit CHANGED to
be on Sunday. When the population in
creased and people lived closer to each
other. this custom was abolished to a GER
tain extent, until now 1t is the exception
and not the rule 20 invite friends to take
a meal.
One reason assigned is the additional cost
OF entertaining now 70 what 1t formerly
was, which was brought about by the de-
sire to Guido all the time. IL q dining was
given by one family or II one xTiend was
Invited to take dinner with another, the
person receiving the invitation feltN that II
was better not TO return the courtesy unless
the dinner would equal, II not surpass, the
first one. This made entertaining very ex-
pensive and there were few who could af-
ford the expense. to say nothing OF the
trouble. incidental TO its preparation,

Nests In Mail Boxes.
From St. Nicholas.

From st. Nicholas.
Since free delivery of mall in the rural
districts has been established l have been
pleased to discover two or three pairs Of
bluebirds nesting undisturbed in mail boxes
by the roadside
1t is gratifying to know that the birds
allow themselves to be disturbed two or
three times day and yet did not abandon
their nests; but the thing that gives the
bird lover the greatest delight is the fact
that no one robbed the nests. 1 am sure
the bluebird will in time learn to appre-
ciate this kindness, and the day is not far
distant when it viii be q common occur
renee to find some kind of birds nest in
every homemade box that holds a letter

The dancing of Miss Ruth ST. Denis,
alter yesterday afternoon was a beautiful, IL
perplexing, performance. l have seen dane
ing in many countries, but 1 have never
been so impressed by the spirit and witch
cry of the dance as under the mystical and
mesmeric spell cast by the strange pas
sionate motions of this fascinating dancer
One passed out of the hot glare of the
Strand into what might have been the por-
tico of an Indian temple. Incense pervaded
the air, smoke rose from glowing censers
the walls were hung with rich Indian tap
estrles, and in the center tall, sinuous
figure swaying and bending, as it were, in
an ecstasy of devotion. Miss ST. Denis was
impersonating the Spirit of Incense and by
the turning of her body and the spiral
twisting of her long, thin arms she pro-
duced an Illusion of the slow rising curling
smoke that assembled from the censers.
She sets her dances with as much care
and thought as If they We're operas Every
detail was designed to enhance the effect of
her performance In her cobra" dance the
scene was street In a Hindu town, where
buying and selling went on In the bazaars.
She was barefoot and in the guise of a
poor village dancing girl. Her intention
here was to produce an Illusion of the GID
ing movements of the snake, and the illu-
sion was wrought with most consummate
skill. With her arms stretched above her
head, a large black brilliant on each mid
die finger to represent the eyes. she pro-
duced an astonishing imitation of the CO.
bras head and body and of Its stealthy
creeping through the grass.

The announcement that the king intends
season has given British yachting generally
exactly the flip it has so long required. 1t
Is understood that William Fife has been
commissioned to prepare the design for
the new boat. When his majesty as Prince
of Wales, gave the order for the design
of the Britannia three prominent yachts
men at once gave commissions, and Cal
luna, Valkyrie II and Satanita appeared to
make up a splendid class, of which Britain
MIA was magnificent leader. F'irst-class
racing just now is In fairly healthy condi-
ton, and it needs but a royal racing yacht
to place 1t in a very strong position. 1t Is
certain, however, that the king is not build
ing for the encoura cement of British racing
alone, seeing that under the new rule in
ternational racing will IN the future play a
prominent part. 1t has been suggested that
the gold cup of the Royal Victoria Yacht
Club, which Is International trophy,
should be again offered as SUCH in which
case the America cup would soon become
an obsolete trophy.
Various rumors afioat at the present
moment to the effect that Sir Thomas Lip
ton intends TO abandon the America cup
and build a frst-class cutter to race in
European waters. Whether Sir Thomas
will do this remains to be SEEN His ardor
for building somewhat dampened when
William Fife refused to design for him,
and, though Alfred Mylne has prepared
set of plans for Shamrock ", there is no
apparent movement for building. Great i'm
portance is attached to the fact that a new
ninety-footer has been built by the Her
reshoffs for Mr.. J. Rogers-MaxweIl of New
York, under tle new American rating rule.
Though this boat is not built expressly as
defender of the cup, she is regarded here as
the last word in racing machines, and has
wonderful lines.

New-York tribune., 1906-10-20

In his volume of Chinatown Ballads" lately
writes in fluent verse of the comedies and trag-
edies of the now vanished Chinese quarter of
San Francisco. The authors general view of
the Chinaman seen in America is summed up
in the first stanza of the ballad of Young Mr..
Yam:
Yu can take Chink away from Is hop,
is lanterns an gals an pigs and chop.
Yu can dress I'm up in yer Christi2n clo'es,
Put texts in is head an hymns in is nose;
But yull find. when he's actin dead straight
part
He's Chinaman still in is yeller heart.
Yet in ballad written since the great disas-
ter, and entitled, You Sabe Mer' the author
seems to admit that, though the Chinaman
may be still a Chinaman in is yeller heart"
he may also be and a brother. The
poem tells Of q coolie boy named Bong. who.
in the absence of his master at the time of
the earthquake, took faithful care OF the wife
and baby:
He had brought them food from the ruins.
And seemed to be keeping house.
Squat on his heels he was cooking their meals
The kid was wrapped in his blouse
His face black from the burning.
But his grin it good to see.
When | called from the throng Take care of en-
Bong
And he answered. You sabe mer
This was my neighbor's story
And the moral is:
Believe in Chinese exclusion?
Well, maybe did before
The day OF the Great Confusion,
The roots Of the town. and the Reaper
The faith of that's deeper
Than any Exclusion Law.
