Two Modish Excuses.

When you are over nalf an hour late
at dinner it Is well to have an excuse.
There are. Just now, only two modish
excuses:
First, you were arrested for speeding
your motor; second. you We're playing
bridge, and every hand seemed TO be d
spade or club
The difficult subject OF precedence Is
disposed of by Mr.. Crowninshieid in the
ingenious suggestion which follows:
In England The matter OF precedence
at dinners is simplicity itself. The Sow
ereign precedes an ambassador. who
precedes the Archbishop of Canterbury,
who precedes the Earl Marshal, who
precedes duke, who precedes an
earl, marquis. a viscount, a bishop,
a baron, &c; but in America the mat
ter is much more perplexing one.
The author of this brochure respect
fully suggests the following scheme of
American dinner precedence: Let an
opera box count points; steam yacht,
); town house, 5; country house, 4: mo-
tors, each; every million dollars, ?:
tiara, ]; good wine cellar. i; ballroom In
town house, l. a known grandparen, of

Of course. be forced TO follow In the
wake of lady with town house and
q tiara o. who, III turn, will trail after
woman with steam yacht and two
motors ~. The highest known totai
is about 100; the lowest, about 4. The
housekeeper may arrange the totals,
and the hostess can then send the
guests in according TO their listed quo

At a Weeks End.

AT a weekend party. when the SER
want calls you in the morning and in
forms you that your bath is running, Il
is modsh to sink off TO sleep and allow
the bath to overflow. AS soon as you
are wide awake make certain to turn off
the electric light, and demand from the
servant a brandy and soda, After this
Drucer you may light a cigarette and
send the footman for breakfast and a
cigar. 1t is also a wise precaution TO
ask for all the morning papers-other-
wise the other guests may secure some
OF them.
"Parlor tricks are great assets in a
week-ender, The most popular are
moving the scalp and ears. cracking
ne knuckles. dsjointing the thumbs,
standing on the head, tearing a pack of
cards and dancing n cakewalk.

1T is worthy of remark" writes Mr..
Crowninshield, that during the past
decade. both in America and In Eng
land, sudden and violent changes have
somewhat rufYled the placid waters OF
polite society. There new conditions of
life have naturally necessitated new
methods OF social procedure. The tele-
phone, CO.. education, wireless telegraphy.
motor cars. millionaires. bridge whist.
womens rights, Sherry's. cocktails,
four day liners, pianolas, steam heat,
Directoire gowns, dirigible balloons and
talking mac chimes have all contributed to
an astonishing social metamorphosis.
His Work of Charity.
Cautiously enough, no book of ETH
quette has taken count of these violent
changes. There is literally no Daedeker
for this newly discovered country. Many
fruitful and enchanted islands have been
sighted. but have. alas, remained UNI
charted.
1T lie, therefore, with motives of gen.
crosby, charity and kindness that this
little guide has been prepared by the
benevolent author.
1T will be found to contain concise
rules of department for all the more I'M
portant social ceremonies-from a tete-
a-tete to betrothaf. q picnic to @
funeral. partie-carree to a divorce. an
ushers' dinner to Turkish bath and a
piano recital to a rout. 1t also contains
excellent advice on the choice of mo-
tor car, summer residence, a wife or a
brand of cigar"
Mr.. Crowninshields opening chapter
is on the country house. which. accord
ing to the authors definition, 10 IAN es-
tablishment maintained by people OF
wealth and position who have banlshed
from their home circle the old ideas of
family life, the hearth side, the romp-
ing little ones and the studious evenings

coarse hair and naked. rat like tail. Tho
forefeet are heavy and strong and are pro-
vided with stout, curved claws for digging

is long and slender and exceedingly mobile.
and the whole appearance Of the animal is
peculiar.
For many years the solenodon has been
extinct and practically nothing
was known OF its habits. Few museums

the remarkable animal.
