 /N I/zE FASHIONABLE WORLD

Tableaux vivant are the rage of the fashionable world this winter, but society here has not attempted any living pictures this season, although the success of the tableaux arranged last spring should en- courage the revival this year of one of the most beautiful forms of entertain ment
 Last season the real splendor, even magnifieence, which characterized the tableaux, to say nothing of the beauty of the women who posed in them, was the talk of society for months. The hostess who wishes to give drawing room party that will eclipse anythingyet giveni losing her opportunity in not arranging tableaux viyant, and as far as organizations for sweet charity are concerned, it is a lack of enterprise not to induce some of the beauties of society to pose in a series of pictures.
 Commenting upon the popularity of tab leaux vivant in the world of fashion and beauty, an Atlanta exchange says:

THIRTEEN TRAINS
 BURIED IN SNOW

Detroit, Mich., February 20.--At least IS passenger trains poked their pilots into impervious snowdrifts throughout Michigan today. Some of these trains were still snowbound. Traffic was com pletely abandoned today on the Kal- amazoo, Lake Shore and Chicago rail- road and on the Port Austin division of the Pere Marquette only one train was sent over the line. The AIlegan division of the Lake Shore and Miehi- gan Southern was completely blocked, as was also the Midland, Bay City, Vas sar division of the Michigan Central. The westb ound Wolverine flyer on the Michigan Central buried itself near Comstock in a drift out of which five locomotives were unable to release it.. But the passengers were transferred to anoth CT train and were carried past the drift on the eastbound track, while 100 men were set at work with shovels to dig out the snowbound flyer Other trains were snowbound during the day near Iona, Lottieville, Indiana, Reck- erville, Owendale, Allegan, Sheffield, Kalamazoo, Adrian and Munger.

LADY OR THE aENTLEMANs
Which on This Showing Of Facts
Was .UngraciousP -..---....

From the New York Sun.
Which of these two was ungracious. if
either was? And II both were. which was
the more so? Here are the facts:
A woman having with her a suit case
and handbag, riding on 6tlP avenue
surface car and sitting down at one end
removed by the space of one seat from
the door. And In front Of that seat space
next her she had placed on the floor her
suit case and on that seat next her, but
close up to her. her handbag. So with
her suit case in front of II she practically
blockaded that empty seat while with her
handbag at least partly on 1t she oceu-
pied a part of it: and thus with herself
and her belongings she practically occu-
pied two seats In the car, though there
were people standing in IT.
But though there were people standing
| nobody tried to take the seat which in
the manner described the lady had bar
red off until there came through from the
other end of the man who appar-
emily thought that not even a lady ought
to occupy two seats in the car In such cir
cumstances. This man. when lle saw that
space by the lady's side. occupied 1t with
out hesftancy. his legs coming down to the
floor of the car over the lady's suit case,
still standing there in front of the seat.
1t wasn't the most comfortable seat In
the world for the man. but he was max
ing himself comfortable In IL as he
could. while as for tha lady she appeared
as unconscious of his presence as IL he
| had been in Kalamazoo or faraway
| Kamchatka. an art In which woman has
got man beaten by sonnet hing like a hun
dred and fortyeight thousand million
miles.
| Now, as to whether either was ungra-
cous. and, If either was. which was the
more so. may be questions. though from
| the 1ady's having that travelling equip.
ment with her it might be inferred that
she was a stranger and SO that she kep,
the two starts as she did without thought
| that she was preoccupied with looking out
for her destination. while 1t might be said
as to the man that he was holding a cigar
between his fingers, which was certainly !;
point against him; but the facts were a.
stated.

sponges to Save Champagne.
From the Louisville Times.


The champagne makers Of Reims
buy lot Of our sponges." said a whole
sale dealer. They squeeze champagne
out of them They must squeeze In the
years course 1000. 900 bottles OF cham
pagne out of sponges. Mystitiel. aren't
you?"
But there is no mystery about the
matter. Champagne. as it ferments, is
powerful stuff; it breaks the strongest
bottles, and In the past all the cham
pagne that broke it's bottles and es-
capped was lost
Nov. though. they pack the cham
pagne in clean sponges. and every day
or two they go over the plant. and II
any of the bottles have broken they
squeeze into casks the wine that the
sponges. have retained.
This wine. reclarified. refined and
bottled again. makes very good sec
ond quality drink.
