German and Other Social Events.
The star of the social armament is again
| the ascendant. The glory of Easter has d
! parted, and it's inspired anthems, hot houl
exotics and millinery effects have been dul
| recorded. The song of the melancholy trt
frog is heard in the land, and the dismal di
cord of the hand organ reminds the swe
young man of the period that it is time
renovate his summer pants. The business en-
of the insect, most despised by humanity, wi
soon be on deck and first-class exponents G
profanity will be at a premium. The langui
air is suggestive of hay-fever, and mint julep
and the social biped is elevated almost out o
sight.
The ladies are wild over the Sarah Barnyar
bonnet and the pater familias raves over tn
BILL the trees are putting forth their buds AM
sweet nature will soon be clothed in he
choicest fnery, the demand for baby -peram
bulators is heavy; the High school ques tiol
is on the boomf and with lively matrimonial
market and an upward turn in the demand fol
divorces, humanity is doing It's level best to
make itself miserable.
Some idiot once remarked that man wa!
nothing if not in the fashion. On reflection
there IS not so rauch asinine stupidity in tbt
remark as might be supposed. This leads to
the charming rumpus that is just now
| agitatisg the ranks of the knightly fellows
| Templars. The reader would imagine, having
seen this body of robust men capaiisoned ano
on display duty, that not even the nod of high
Olympus could shake the equilibrium of their
fne-haIred gravity. But, soft! the gentle
reader had better put the check-rein on his
palfrey, or he may put his foot in it.. The
symposium is all broke up on the abject sub
ject of buttons. A short time ago the
eminent commander got on his high
horse, SO to speak, and Illuminated ukase.
This was to the effect that every Sir Kuight
must have his uniform garnished with metal
buttons. Then there was grand kick. The
Sir Knights were opposed to it for various
reasons. They urged that it was not accord
ing to the STATUTES. Besides, nickel or brass
buttons would reduce them to the par of the
policeman, letter-carrier, and milkman. How
side stubbornly refused to yield. The out
come will be published hereafter
