CARDS all the most interesting affairs

can expect no more-nothing but to
grow daily feebler and uglier and
more obsolete and superfuous. de-
clining to that death which at least Is
nescapable-what an awful pass to
come to! 1t is the time when the
society queen. her prestige and

when religion, whatever the patterns
of it may be. is called upon to justify
itself once and for all. In those pop

raging sea, the figure should have
been that of an old bag and not

scribed at Kingston-on-Thames police
court the other day, when a general
servant was charged with theft from
her mistress, a resident Of 1vydene'

The lady had missed a pearl pin and

she might have lost the jewels tn the

When she lost q number OF other

held at the offices of lie Matin recent

program was drawn up.
The scheme submitted by Prince
Borghese has been adopted. 1t has
been settled that the race shall begin

the data received from the weather
bureau OF Russia, the Siberian rainy
season Is well over. not only along
the Trans.Siberian, but in China, and
when other weather conditions are also
favorable.
The suggestion Of Prince Borghese
that the Great Desert of Cobb be trav-
ersed. the route being Peking to Kali
gan, Tuerin, Urga, Kakhta and Lake
Baikal, was adopted, as not only offer
ing the best means of arriving at 81
IBERIA, but as being admirably suited
for landings. Other reasons are that
1t is frequented by caravans and that
telegraph line gives an ideal indica'
ton of the route.
The rest of the journey will be rade
by way of Irkutsk, Omsk, Kazan, Mos
COW, Warsaw, Vienna, Triest, Genoa
hvignon and Lyons, as already an
nounced in these columns.
Stocks of petrol and spare parts are
to be spread along the Trans-Siberian
