i everything coming to u.s.: It was very cieal
lesson Of the old truths beautifully and appos-

suasiye charm; but doubt If the proud Miss
McBriaes who sat Therefor the Unitarian
Church gathers under Its wing here due sprink-
ling OF the butterflies Of fashion-would take
- TO heart; would say to themselves that
it was Of no use for them to
put on their lofty airs and hold themselves ex-
! elusive, when the only passport even to true
worldly favor was the virtue OF selfforgetfu1-

hood who mean, by hook or crook to push
through the charmed gates OF social lie be con-

Blondfna, who knows the world pretty veil,
made this comment on this sermon: at was q
beautiful sermon; bnt it was for the good the
broad-minded, the laree-hearted people, who
know it all before, and don't need 1t. when I
hear such sermons, which are only appreciated
by the most Intelligent people. | feel that there
f5 d need for preacher who shall attack the So
cial sIns, as Wendell Phillips attacks political
sins, with 3 regular broadsde Of b(ows,-a sort
OF laundering OF aoathemas, and the o|d-fash-
ioned sThou-art-the-mau-or-th or -the-woman assault.
Pm not intelligent myself" goes on Bondua,
rather cynicailY, but when I hear about virtue
having its own reward ii this maelstrom life OF
oars, 1 always think Of Savage landor's quaint
satire: Z have practiced self-denial because it
gives me . momentary and false idea that am
firm, and have done other things not amfss in
compliance with my heart; but nv most girtu-
GUS hopes and sentiments have uniformly led to
niserF, and hare never been happy but Ia con-
sequence OF some weakness or yice.'" i

'1' THE FAvoR1TE ENTERTAINMENT
at present is the out-of~toivn picnic Society
people who want to give very acceptable par
ty, instead OF lawn-reception on their own
grounds, issue Invitations to picnic In some
Of the out-of-town groves, and spare nothing of
pains to make the affair not only success in
the way Of y'ands, but 3 beautiful entertain
ment' where hot-house flowers grace the table
choicest kind to the . guests. OF course
The four-in-hands are in their glory on these
occasions. Another unique form of enter
; ,,1 has been inaueurated this: week by
Mrs. William Astor. 1t was reception
N board her husbands yacht Ambassadress,
he mammoth yacht, Of which ! spoke in my
asst. The vessel was decorated with flowers and
bunting, and the guests we're conveyed from the !
wharf in small boats. '

Another new feature, which shows the prog b.
IS of New England from its Puritan bonds, is II
e sundar-boat enterprise. This enterprise, it S.
said. is greatly due to the foreign clement S.

years fought for the opening OF public libra he
