A SILENCE CLUB.
A new club has been formed in Moscow, the chief feature of which is the absolute silence imposed on its members within the club precincts. Any infraction of this cardinal rule involves a monetary penalty. The club is well appointed and luxuriously equipped. It is furnished with billiards, chess, cards, and other games. Gesture is the only medium of intercourse aiuong its members. The same rigid regulation obtains at the club buffet and in the dining-room, as well as in the library; and general rooms. Orders are conveyed to silent waiters by means of tablets they carry.
