Der or the winds of March, clad in tulle
or tarlatan, she would not have much
cause to blame her unsubstantial garb IL
she were to catch cold She alone would
be at fault for pervertiDg the fimsy attire
to use for which II never was intended
And such is the fault of those that blame
society for its heartlessness. True afiec-
ton, firm friendship, warm sympathy are,
indeed, to be found therein, but they are
not the objects of pursuit. II Is an associa-
tion for mutual amusement merely. We
do not expect to gather pumpkins from
rosebushes, nor TO dig potatoes from a
hyacinlh bed. Society gives US what she
can--gay parties, pleasant receptions,
agreeable mutual intercourse. 1t is not
her province TO feed our intellects or to
fill our breasts. If we love her unwisely
because too we'll, that is our fault, not
hers.
And the men and women of society are
not one whit the worse or weaker than is
humanity elsewhere. We know more
about them, that is all. They are actors
in the dazzling comedy of real life. The

throne shines broad and brilliant ON the
Kings and Queens of the gay world. I'm

itself were to have the fate of those sup
pressed members. Many wise man is q

Many fool is an ill-mannered and un-

A Defense of Society.

SOCIETY is an organization for enter

Thereto each guest brings whatever he or
she has TO offer for the entertainment of
the whole. The amateur singer brings
vocal and artistic delight The dancing
young man offers his leadership of the
German. The young girl debutantes con-
tribute the charm of theiryouthiul graces
The wit and bel esprit devote the sparkle
Of their conversation, the keenness of
their intellect. And wealth and hospital
itY contribute gay balls and sumptuOus
dinners, the dazzle of diamonds and the
luster OF gorgeous dresses. Therefore,
like all organizations, society has no
place or room for individual feeling. A
lady with visiting list numbering a
thousand names can scarcely expect to be
loved deyOtedly by all that thousand. She
does not herself take them all to her heart
Of hearts. The phrase dear five hun
dTed friends" is misnomer. Nobody on
earth has five hundred friends, unless,
perchance, some great hero or some note.

on whom we leave cards and whom we
invite TO our largest balls and most gener

Some Suggestions for Planting Small
Places.

WITH beginners, and those of limited
experience in the art of gardening, there
is always strong desire to rush the work
in the garden, have the beds dug and
raked, the seeds sown, and the trees and
shrubs planted before the frost is well out
of the ground, or the soil dry or warm
enough to facilitate vegetation. This
natural, but very common, error, to turn
over or disturb the ground too soon in the
spring not infrequently leads to discOur-
aging results later in the season. Garden
seeds, sown TOO early, while the soil is
still cold and wet, are sure TO be seriously
injured, rOtting in many Instances before
terminating. This will be found true in
degree of fruit bearing trees as we'll as
garden seeds. l have known of many
cases where young pears, apples and
cherries were permanently stunted from
the very start by this unwise course of
planting when the soil was cold and
soggy. On clay land, no more fatal blum
der can be made than planting fruit-trees,
vines or shrubs, before the soil is in the
right condition. Better by far wait two
weeks than start one day too soon. If the
soil is thrown around the roots when
heavy and wet, it soon hardens, encasing
the tibers in an impervious cement which
hinders their natural action, and, as a
matter of course, checks the growth and
vigor of the trees or vines. Early plant.
ing in the open ground of vegetables or
fruit-trees possesses no other advantage
beyond that of having the work out of the
way, and for this the risks run from the
causes named are out of all proportion. !

even with as hardy a vegetable as tho

DIR. schenck,s STANDARD Remedies.

THE standard remedies for all diseases of the
lungs are ScHENcK's PULMoNIc SYRUP, SoHENCK's
SEA WEED TONIC and SCHEHcK's MANDRAKE
PILLS and II taken before the lungs destroyed,
q speedy cure is effected.
To these three medicines DR.. J. II. Schenck, Of
Philadelphia, owes his unlivaed success in the
treatment Of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter
in the lungs; nature throws it of by an easy ex-
pectoration, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe
slight cough will throw 1t of, the patient has rest
and the lungs begin to heal
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this,
Schenck's Mandrake Pills and Schencks Sea
Weed Tonic must be freely used to cleanse the
stomach and liver. Schenck's Mandrake Pills act
on the liver removing all distractions, relax the
galbladder the bile starts freely and the liver is
soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic Is gentle stimulant
and alteratve the alkat, OF which it is composed,
mixes with the food and prevents sOuring. 1t as
sists the digestion by toning up the stomach TO a
healthy condition, so that the food and the Pull
mouic Syrup will make good blood then the lungs
heal and the patient viii surely get well If care Is
taken to prevent fresh cold.

sonally OF by letter do so at his principal Of
