Al suggestion from the lMinneap-
olls journal recalls the fact that in
the more spacious times of yoTe, con-
Versations and letter writing took
their place among the arts, leisure
and thought were devoted TO them
and their production were the most
agreeable occupations of those times
We like TO read those old time '.ta-
b1e talks, not because they were so
carefully written, but that their neat
phrasing holds charm and they are
replete with the conversations Of per-
sons of genteel leisure. and depict
the grace OF the eighteenth century.
Without these productions our ntera-
ture would be singularly bereft. for
In these seemingly degenerate times
those old treasured arts are sadly
neglected. Our rapid age is a volley of
books, and our cony nyersation falls
upon deafened ears like a hose spray
ing water. This rapid-fire plan is ur1-
pleasant to culture and refinement,
and the mental attitude towards it is
slowly but surely changing the cur
rent OF modern literature and letter
writing to the more leisurely period.
1t will come witch its soothing in
ffuence like an old friend to whom
we love to chat and listen WITHOUT
feeling the necessity of always MAX
ing reply Yes, we are going back TO
the old love of our ancestors, going
back Ito the old open fireplace with
its chanm of sparkling cheer and
beauty, even where the house is
superheated by steam. The open
fire'' i'm letters and conversations will
come back, its charm is already
warming the cold hearts of the pub
dfshers, and somehow we are being
cheered and strengthened in the
faith of the revival of the best of old
customs love, leisure and conyersa-
zion within the mystic shadows of the
old open fireplace is an inspiration to
be confined to ha1loWed homes alone.

"One Of the most valuable results st

cisions We're grossly unjust and the have
therefore evoked strong general dissat-

ut is simultaneously pointed out here
that the danger 10 the northern countries
is not more imminent now than pre-
vlously and that the object of the meeting
is not the conclusion OF an alliance and
still less the adoption Of measures involv-
ing acute participation in the hOstilit!es.
The situation is defined as follows by a
scandinavian authority
