NoTRE DAME OF REIMS.
No Cathedral In France Its Equal In
Wealth or Ornament.

no NatneoTal IN france It's Equal IN
Wealth or Ornament.
The place where 1t Reims cathe-
draD stands is far too closely shut in
by small and insignificant houses But
the strongest light, the meanest sur
roundings, could not lessen the marvel
Of so marvellous a church, and mag
on the threshold, as to Arthur Young
on the distant hilltop. There is no ca
thedral in France that can equal it in
wealth, in extravaganza, In gorgeous
ness of ornament. The facade of Notre
Dame of Paris, while something like ii
in general design, is of Puritan sim
plicity beside the facade of Notre
Dame of Reims. No other west doors
are more deeply recessed, more richly
charged with sculpture, row upon row,
tier upon tier, some statues being as
Unexpectedly Greek in character as
others are Gothic. No other sculptures
are on so large and imposing scale.
No other gables over the doors soar
upward in such high, acute angles. No
other show such an ENHANCEMENT Of
figures and traceries. And the great
tall windows above and the rose be-
tween are so beset with ornament that
hardly an inch of bare stone remains
about them. In the gallery of kings
the statues stand under carven cano-
pies, intricate, delicate, lacelike in their
elaboration. The tall central gable,
fretted and famboyant, reaches up still
higher, and on each side of it the tow
ers, with the long lines of their arches
and windows, seem bent on carrying
the glory of it all to the very heights
of heaven.
Nor were architect and sculptor less
lavish when they turned from the west
front. Everywhere 1t is the same. The
buttresses stand firm, a mass Of ar
cades, inches sheltering wide winged
angels and tall pinnacles, or they go
flying across aisles in as light graceful
and ornate a flight as If beauty were
its only object. They are. the most
beautiful buttresses in France, Fergus
son says; the grandest pinnacles, Mr..
Moore declares, and both are right.
The transepts are only new spaces for
new ornament; the apse is only new
motive for the new arrangement of
buttresses and pinnacles. The gar
goyles somehow seem more mon
strous than those that look down from |
other cathedral walls, and around the
top of the apse, perched on high bal |
ustrade, are grotesques-owls, mer-
maids, griffins, unicorns-strange be-
ings that come Of the same family as
the devils of Notre Dame in Paris, only
the grotesques Of Reims are where
they can be seen from below, where |
they serve in the decorative scheme, |
breaking the horizontal lines of the bal |
ustrade with the effect of still another |
row of pinnacles. l have wandered for
days about the cathedral without com
ing to the end Of Its ineXhaustible de-
tail. 1t is almost incredible that one
church could be so covered with orna-
ment, that its walls could bear upon |
their surface such a rhythmlcal con-
fusion of sculptured stone.-Ellzabeth |

CARD GAMES.
The Earliest Played In England Were
Imported From Spain.


Spain is generally believed to have
sent US our first card games. eel hon.
bre," or the man." corrupted by us
into "Ombre," was probably our earli-
est card game in England, and that
must have come from Spain. Also the
oldest packs of cards found in England
show Spanish symbols, such as cupus.
maces and swords. Another popular
English card game in the sixteenth
century was trump, clearly form of
the Spanish game triumfo.
Cards could be bought in 1915 for
twopence pack. These were very
wretched specimens and most inferior
to those produced by the Cardmakers'
company of London, in which Charles
|. created monopoly, with the finan-
cial genius of his race, by buying them
up cheap and selling them at high
price. In this he was a more open
rogue perhaps than his father, who
forbade card playing in Scotland and
INDUCED in it himself at every oppor-
tunity.
Cards have always been a royal
game. Queen Elizabeth played cards

WATER AS A BEVERAGE.
Flattest Ate an Apple and Coolest
After a Peppermint Drop.

After a Peppermint Drop.
water is the finest drink in the
world" said the epicure in little
things, "but not every one knows how
to get the most enjoyment out of
drinking It,
For instance, water should never be
drunk Immediately after an apple has
been eaten, for as beverage it then
has taste more fat and insipid than
as if it had been taken from a cold
teakettle.
son the other hand there Is nothing
to my mind that makes water taste
more cool and refreshing mot counting
actual thirst than to eat a peppermint
drop before taking drink of 1t.
"And, while peppermint stands at the
head, a drink of water is particularly
and noticeably good after any wafer
or lozenge. Popcorn, on the other
hand, takes all the animation out of a
subsequent swallow of water.
'Nor do bread and water go well to-
gether. The water takes the sweetness
out of the bread. and the bread takes
the liveliness ont of the water and
makes it fiat beyond degree
"The tyrant who first hit upon bread
and water as prison fare of punish
ment knew his business.
"The enjoyment OF a drink of water
varies, too, with what you drink it
from. You would not offer to a sick
person drink of water in cup, but
rather in a glass, the thinner the bet
ter. The fact that the water itself in
all its limpil clcarness is present to
the sense of sight stimulates an expec-
tation that is gratified along with the
sense of taste.
II have frequently observed men
about to drink some other beverage
than water, and it appears to be Il
very common habit with them to re-
gard the liquid steadily for some sec
onds before swallowing it, often hold
ing it on level with their eyes in
order to see it as clearly as possible.
Surely this lesson should not be lost
upon the man who knows that there is
no drink like water. While you are

SIMMONS CAV [GET ARN9RY FOR PARK CITY POLO GAMES Meeting of State Polo Mag mates at Garde Hotel
 To morrow.
(By Albert L. DonneIIy.)

Sam Simmons, who with his partner, Eddy are the managers of the Bridge port State league polo team, have been refused the armory in that city. for the use of the league polo games.
 Simmons managed to obtain the rent ing of the armory during the latter part of last season and expected that he could get the use of 1t this year. He asked for 1t from the state, but he was told that owing to drills on certain evenings during the week it would be impossible for him ito obtain it.
 The Bridgeport State league team is in almost as bed a fix as George Bone's New Haven poloists. We have no shelter just at present, although there is dim outlook for one within the next week or two, but Bridgeport may fall back into their former refuge,
 At the Garde hotel tomorrow even ing at o'clock the polo magnates wlll assemble to talk over the troubles and expectations of the coming season which starts the first week in Noyem- Der. George Bone, who has been off on short vacation, will be present at the meeting, as will also the represen- tatives from seven league teams.
 The schedule for the coming season will be one of the principal matters ot discussion and 1t is likely that one vii be presented at the meeting for adop- tion. It is also probable that the fu- ture meeting of the New Haven clut will be a much discussed topic The managers of the league clubs will to- morrow evening give in a list of the players who are to represent theil cities.
 The polo season, starting in about a month, offers, now that baseball is slowly disappearing from our midst one of the most interesting sports Jeff to the attention of the thousands of tho Elm City sport lovers. It is an idea sport and is welcomed as such during the annual season of five months. This I years roller-polo promises to lead al past seasons in the way of affording | a delightful pastime to those interest ed in sports all through the state The New Haven team will line up abou the same as last year and the pros poets of seeing George Bone, the bes in the state, back in the game, offerl | an additional inducement to the loca fans.
