derbilt. Well. won't tell you any
more about this temple dedicated to
the drama, for you're coming down
after Christmas to do the town, SO
you'll have plenty Of opportunities of
taking bite in the grill room or hav-
ing tea served to you after matinee
in the stunningest tea room you ever
saw. But must tell you that there's
a greenroom. What memories of Gar
rick, Goldsmith! l really haven't time
to hunt my Tame to find out the
other theatrical and literary lights
who used to swap stories in famous
London greenrOoms. But in New York
we haven't known this apartment since
the days. some one told me, Of Angus
tin DAILY and his wonderful Rehan pro-
auctions.
Why don't tell you about the horse
show? I'm saving the best for the
last. as the children do with their
sweetmeats. And before plunging into
equine and fashion talk l would like
to say as starter that Alfred Wander
bilt should be awarded blue ribbon
for the up to date ideas he has intro
duced into this years show. Why,
it's like unto the regeneration Of Aunt
Mary. At the last meeting everybody
thought that as an institution the Mad
ison Square equine show was Mt an
end. But past years have shown us
nothing to compare with the decora-
lions even of this seasons exhibition.
The instant one passed the box Office
one felt that new blood ran In the
horse shows veins. and when the are
ma was seen one drew long. satisfied
breath of perfect content A glimpse
of fairyland unfolded itself. OF course
the tanbark ring was unchanged, and
the judges stand resembled. as ever,
cereal demonstrators booth. but
ones first look was aloft, where hung
from the roof circles Of huge cleo
troliers covered with trailing sprays
Of greenery autumn leaves and white
and pink blossoms. You have no idea
how lovely the effect was when all the
electricity was turned on. A canopy
of some opalescent material formed
sort Of horizon from which these lights
shone. The balconies were trellised
with leaves Of flowers, and the posts
supporting the roof. running from floor
to ceiling, had been incased In birch
bark, and about the height Of the third
tier were hung from these posts tav-
ern lanterns Of colored glass. The
sight was memorable when the ring
was dotted with English riders in
their bright uniforms, our own Ameri-
can gentlemen mounts on their hunt
ers and with pink coated stablemen
and whips The music of the Sew
enth Regiment band seemed the one
thing needed to finish the gay and
merry scene. One really felt that one
had been transported to some charmed
land like Mumbo-Jumbo-Ji-Ji-
O'Shea. who had, according to the
popular song, rings on his fingers.

No: you don't care to hear about the

Widespread interest has been created
in good roads circles in the case Of DIR.
Donald McCaskey of Wilmer, Pa, who
has been restrained from making fur
Their improvements to the Wilmer road,
a much Travelled thoroughfare of East
Lampeter township.
The physician, after falling to get the
road supervisors of his local township
to fix a dangerous and unkept half
mile Of yellow clay roadway, in des-
peration and at his own expense be-
gan to make repairs to the road HIM
self. The doctor built King road drags
and hired horses from farmers through
out the community who would rent
them, and, not being able to induce
anybody to repair the road for him,
the physician drove the team and rode
the drag himself. Occasionally a small
boy was taken along to stand on the
drag for ballast.
After fifteen hours of strenuous la
Dor distributed over a period of six
to eight weeks after each rain the neg
lected byroad was transformed into a
substantial highway. All that was
used was the simple wooden instru-
ment termed the split log drag, which
can be made by any farmer out of
log or few boards.
The physicians efforts worked such
a transformation in the minds of the
incredulous inhabitants of his COM
munity that the road drag met with
popular favor. and the road officials
began to be critically censured for
their alleged indisposition to fulfill the
duties Of their official office.
They promptly secured an injunction
restraining the physician from doing
any more work of the kind, alleging
that he had done this work ito the
injury of the road at times and to the
Inconvenience Of the travelling public"
The case is still before the courts.

Everything was quiet along the sar-
torial line in the morning Tailor
mades with skirts little shorter than
ankle length and coats of the three
quarter or longer tube silhouette were
the only suits worn by really smart
folk. In the afternoon costumes took
on reception-like guise. Mrs. George
Gould one day dropped in for few
minutes with her daughter Marjorie
who, rumor says. will soon go over to
the other side as the millionaire prize
bride Of king, count or prince, I've
forgotten which, one, you know. is on

with turban to match. Miss Mario
RE wore, as so many very young girls
wear this season, black frock of
cashmere de sole. And. although
Dutch necks are not thought smart.
Miss Gould's gown was cut low at the
throat. A big black picture hat topped
her pretty head. AS the young lady
did not join the promenaders about
the tanbark. couldn't see how the
dress was made. but l am sure it was
a princess affair. On the opposite side
Of the house Mrs. Batonyi, the former
Mrs. Burke-Roche, seemed to all ap-
pearances to be receiving lots Of con-
gratulations from her friends upon the
happy outcome of her second divorce
case. She's mighty good looking wo-
man yet, in spite Of her title Of grand
mother, and looked stunning the day
in question in black frock and black
and white striped coat. a chic magpie
creation.
The most superb furs were worn.
and sables and plebeian skunk pelts
hobnobbed together In the most DEM
ocratlc fashion. They were even
combined in the same peltry makeup.
But the muffs-angels and ministers
Of grace defend me from being obliged
to carry one Of the new models! My
dear. they're as long as your pocket
book can pay for and often weigh fif-
teen pounds. Just think Of toting
about fifteen pounds of excess sar-
torial baggage! But you can wear your
muff suspended on ribbon or from
jeweled hook attached to your side.
The winner, though. in freak fur
fashion is the dog muff that a girl
carried under her arm much as one
would a pet Pom" The dog muff has
a place in which the hands can be
slipped when the owner Is tired of
the arm position. And. talking Of ami
mails, l actually saw two girls arrayed
In long white coney fur coats, turbans
and muffs each with a live white kit
ten cuddled up in the center Of her
hand covering. These ladies were the
targets of all eyes for exactly fifteen
minutes, when a mysterious conversa-
ton took place between them and an
usher. with the result-their speedy
exit. Here endeth the horse show.
After week spent amid the social
swirl l feel like the girl who said re-
Gently that she had "a Russian sable
taste and skunk pocketbook."
In your last letter you asked me
what was the latest fashion in sleeves.
Words fail me when it comes to de-
scribing their infinite variety. Look

Four hours by train southwest of

parklike Enclosure containing some so

refuge for all kinds of game and about
the only sure find for pheasants with

the Field.
A kind of chamois Ohe Indian gOraD
and spotted deer are found on the
higher hills and are proved on by the
panther and the wolf AS soon as the
frost sets in for the winter the Chi
nese begin shooting the pheasants,
and although they seem to do their
best to exterminate them, good many
apparently escape and provide the
stock for the following year
The birds are shot over dogs, some
of which have really good noses,
though in appearance they differ in
no way from the scavengers of the viii

that are missed or not fired at The
man with the hawk takes his stand on
a commanding hill and the hunter with
his dog proceeds to draw round him. If
the dog puts up a pheasant which is
missed by the Chinaman, or a brace,
only one of which can be fired at, the
hawk is at once loosed and pheasant
| and hawk disappear together. The
hunter reloads and follows and finds
the hawk by means of small bell at
tached to its back, probably sitting on
a rock or tree stump.
He then sends his dog in to put up
the pheasant. which is invariably hid

I few Yards of the hawk AS long as
the hawk is sitting there the poor bird
will neither run nor fly. and thus falls
an easy victim to the hunter. In this
way a couple of Cinnamon with a gun
dog and a hawk make comparatively

er vainly attempts to walk up his
game with a struggling line of useless

a few shots in day, and certainly
never find a pheasant again which he
has once missed.
On the stonier hills, where there Is
! less cover, chikor are found in consid
cradle quantities and give very fair

powers of running uphill; but the Chi
nese keep them still by using a hawk
much as a kite is flown at home, and
of course would not hesitate to STAY
