It wasona Sunday in its intermediate state that a party of us were invited bya member to pass Saturday and Sunday at the club house. When Sunday morning came there was this salient point to observe, that the Christians were conspicuous for their total disregard of It is en regle all to have religious ceremony. boat races, to play lawn tennis and to fish, to attend at:d to boat, to go in for picnics horse flesh, both riding and driving, to partake of all man- ner of pastimes on Sunday, while a handy - wagon, as it is called, stands ready for church at the club door to take every one orany one. Yet only afew good women put on their bonnets and mount the steps to be driven off. There is a great deal to say why Sunday goes bowling along as it does. There isso much todo, and only Sunday to do it in; there is so much to enjoy, and only Sunday to enjoy it in. Sunday has been set apart as the day when people come to do these things, and, having come, must not these things be done? If one could see the delightful things which they have on hand all ready to be enjoyed whenever the members choose to take them! There’s the lake stocked with fish; then there are a dozen or more sail- boats dancing and sitting in the sunlight;. then in the boathouse the different gentlemen keep their raceboats and wherries, all tilted up in their cradles, trim and ready ata moment’s call, with their dainty oars at hand, their fishing tackle and all the many things which a novice cannot understand, just handy with boatmen to call up by a noa uv: «look. Besides these things in the boathouse are two beautiful canoes hanging tc the roof made out of giant trees At night the waterfall at the bridge is lit by electricity, which passes under it. One of the many lovely things in Tuxedo is the dining-hall, which is a spacious round piazza, covered with striped awnings, where you breakfast, lunch and dine, looking out always upon tall, graceful trees and a lovely lawn, which slopes in. a most graceful sweep down to the water's edge. One can ‘scarcely describe the dainty look of the little tables at dinner time, with their shaded pink candles, where not a moth nor a millow, a fly or a musquito, nora long legged nor short legged monster swoops or crawls to extinguish these fairy lights or start you into impulsive action. A gentle breeze plays about you, fanned and yet controlled by the dainty pink and white awnings.

In 1879 and again 1880 cremation was by city ordinance made optional for the friends of the deceased, but the keeper of the seals found legal objections in the civil and penal code. Pending the settlement of the-doubtful points involved a society to promote the cremation was formed, of which Gambetta was a profoundly convinced and exceedingly active member. A new law regulating freedom of burial was passed, and a crematory, or crematory chapel, was erected in the least used part ing of the lake or the drawing of bottles. of Pere la Chaise, which is a conspicuous object in the sceneryif nothingelse.
