CARDS OF COMPLIMENT

CARDS OF COMPLIMENT
yards OF COMPLIMENT is phrase as
~ meaningless in these days of marconigrams,
automobiles, and airships, as is Sanskrit to an
Eskimo, especially as the card of compliment to-
day in use has deterIorated largely into mere
message conveyed almost altogether by means
of that not unqualified modern blessing, the
telephone
In the days of our great-grandparents, how
ever. the elegant accomplishment OF episto-
larry writing was quite as vlrtuously learned
and practised as was the reading of the Bible
and Pilgrim Progress, special attention being
paid to the cards " or short notes.
In an old book etiquette and letter writing
published in 1870, the author the Rev. Thomas
Cook, explains the importance of the latter
in the following agreeable manner: Letters
are the life of trade, the fuel of love, the pleas
of friendship, the food of the politician,
and the entertainment of the curious. "
If one may judge from examples in his book,
the curious may derive most entertainment
from the cards of compliment, several pages
being devoted to cards on various subjects de-
signed as patterns for those less gifted in this
" art rep1ete with advantages" They are intro
introduction and the cards, however, losing
much of their quaintness by the substitution of
the modern S for the long F-like letter in in
that day
Cards of Compliment should be short, easy,
and consistent with politeness. They must
begin with the title or style of the writer; and
care must be taken Immediately afterward to
mention, in respectful manner, the style or
title of those to whom they are addressed;
they must contain but one subject, and that
spicuity."

FINANCIAL REVIEW.

New York. Dec. 12-The stock mar ket made favorable deductions last week from the Presidents message and the reduction in the Bank of Eng lands discount rate. A considerable broadening out of the speculation and comprehensive advance in prices were the consequences.
 The feeling caused by the Presi- dents message was not due to specific passages and was in spite of the direct assertion in the document that ques- tons bearing on the antitrust and the Interstate Commerce laws would be presented to Congress in later special messages.
 The general tone of the message. however, was pronounced conserva- tive by financial opinion and there was held to be 'discernible a soIicitude for business interests and. progress that argued insurance against steps calculated to interrupt a march of prosperity.
 The text of the message was sup, plemented by advices from washingI ton addressed to the Wall street news agencies alleging a practical accord between the executive and the matori- ty in Congress against radical and violent measures. It was assumed, moreover. that a desire to await the decision on appeal of the American Tobacco and Standard oil cases by the Supreme court would postpone the definite shaping of the administra- tion's attitude towards antitrust problems, and this prospect of post ponement was regarded in itself as a beneficial factor in the immediate stock market. There was e conspicu- ous revival, with stimulating effect, of rumors of various financial con- solidations. including one of copper producers.
 The relaxation in money markets signalized by the coming down of the Bank of England discount rate bears very definite relation to the New York stock market.
 There can be no doubt that the forced attraction of gold to the Lon don market. due to the aggressive measures of the Bank of England operated to hamper and to interrupt financial and speculative projects in New York The decision of the Bank of England authorities In favor of loosening their hold on the money position and the inference 1t carries of ample security for needs in the lm- mediate prospect will conduct to the comfort of American financial affairs. Better changes are afforded for the financing which has been postponed, but which must inevitably be cared for soon. December and January al- ready present large requirements for subscriptions to new securities. Others are to come.
 The problem of wage settlements by the railroads and employees becomes more definite but without apparent harm as yet to speculative confidence. The high level of prices of eommodi- ties and of cost of living are recog- nized as complicating factors. The shortage of cotton implied by the gov ernment report is almost caiamitous. The large acreage planted In winter wheat gives some counter-balancing comfort
