Aged Eggs Held Delicacy in Gotham

mer tours possible, but it will be next
year before the idea" will have per-
colated far enough for the trip to be
| Under taken In any number. Never
before has it been possible to go
straight from Gotham to q region
promising so great a contrast, not
withstanding that settlement and en-
terprise is pouring into the region to
which the rails were laid.
New York is rapidly approaching a
famine of domestic servants. Employ
ment agencies find 1T impossible to
meet the demand for them. 1t is not
SO much because women who are will
ing to work as servants are scarce as
lit is that so many of them are in
competent. Every employment agency
lin New York has more applications for
work from would-be servants than 1T
can fill, but there is not an agency in
the city that would not place 100 per
cent more servants were the latter
competent to fill the places. One class
OF employment agencies has ceased to
exist since last year. These are the
agencies which got employment for
cattle attendants on the transatlantic
steamships. Young college men who
wanted to work their way to Europe
often went as cattle tenders through
these agencies. Since October last, no
American livestock has been shipped
abroad. and consequently the occupa-
ton Of the cattlemen Is gone. The
high price of beef in the United States
and the factthat this country has lost
the European cattle export trade to
Argentine, explains the changed con-
ditions.
Another protest against the modern
wriggling dances Is Just making Itself
heard. C~uriously enough, however. it
does not come from reformers or per-
sons whose ems Of decency is offend
ed by the terpischorean acrobatics. In
J stead it emanates from the manufac-
lturers of playing cards, for SO gerer-
ally have the tango and the turkey
ltrot succeeded card playing that last
Iyear3 showed a very serious falling Off
in the card manufacturing business.
AS the new dances are most popular
with the persons who formerly were
card devotees the case against such
dances seems to be asclear one. What
the falling off actually amounts to lis
shown by the fact that during the last
fiscal year there a decrease Of
778,231 packs OF cards manufactured,
Tor nearly 40 per cent. Whether or not
this is to be looked upon as another
crime to be laid at the door OF the
tango and turkey trot depends largely
on the point of view as to whether the
new dances or the bridge rae are the
less to be desired.
