I was staying last winter with a relative who understands comfort. Until he married and settled in the country. a couple of years ago, he had been a college follow, and pro- fited by his opportunities to such an extent that be has lard down a railway on his dining room mantle pit-cc. and furnished the apartment with several small but firm and solid tables. which are placed " ’ - iiFatidéssél ‘b’r‘rd his whim is, that his guests should sit in a semicircle about the hearth with a table for every (pair. and that the decanters should travel by hand, like a gentleman in a sedan- chair, and by casy stages, from one chimney-corner to the other, and then take the rail across the chord oftlrc arc to their starting point. And it. is a curious illustration of the saving of fatigue in' modern ,travelllng, that the rapid Journey across has no apparent effect upon their constituents. while the slower passage from table to table takes a great deal out of them. He has another lancy, arising probably , from ten years’ surfeit of masculine society. which is, that when the party is small and sociable, the ladies should not retire ; and I re- not always so highly appreciated by either sex as it should be. As a general rule, however, the experiment is a success, for he has aninexhaUstible fund of animal spil‘lls, and a talent for drawing people out of their shells.
