Grand knight Templar Button Act-Th
German and Other Social Events.
The star of the social armament is again i
the ascendant. The glory of Easter has dc
parted, and its inspired anthems, hot hous
cxotics and millinery effects have been dull
recorded The song of the melancholy tire
frog is heard in the land, and the dismal dis
cord of the hand organ reminds the swell
Young man of the period that it is time t.
renovatc his summer pants. The business en(
OF the insect, most despised by humanity, will
soon be on deck and tirst-class opponents o
profanity will be at premium. The langui(
| air is suggestive of hay-fcver, and mint Juleps
and the social biped is elevated almost out OF
sight
The ladies are wild over the Sarah BarnyarC
bonnet and the pater familias raves over the
bill; the trees are putting forth their buds and
sweet nature will soon be clothed in her
| choicest finery, the demandf for baby peram-
bulators Is heavy; the High school CUES ton
is on the bOOmf and with lively matrimonial
market and an upward turn in the demand for
divorces, humanity is doing It's level best to
make itself miserable.
Some idiot once remarked that man was
nothing if not in the fashion. On reflection
there is not so LAUGH asinine stupidity IN the
remark as might be supposed. This leads to
the charming rumpus that is just now
agitating the ranks of the knightly fellows
| who disport so gayly on dress parade as
| Templars. The reader would imagine, having
| seen this body of robust men capa1isoned and
on display duty, that not even the nod of high
Olympus could shake the equilibrium of their
ine-halred gravity. But, soft! the gentle
reader had better put the check-ren 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 nigh
horse, SO to speak, and Illuminated ukase.
This was to the effect that every Sir Knight
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
ever, the manifesto has gone forth, and each
side stubbornly refused to yield. The out
come will be published hereafter
