THE SOCIAL WORLD.


vapors and mists' of cloudland, the gov
ernor's reception swept across the social
horizon last week and drew into its FURNISH
ed pathway all events of lesser significance.
To drop the metaphor, particularly as the
astrono micaI lore of the social genius is
not so pat or mystical as it might be,
the recep tion at the capitol on Thursday
night was the swell affair of this or any
other season. The line must be drawn
somewhere and this distinction has been
accorded it by all competent observers.
OF the reception in detail, the immense
and brilliant attendance, the elegance of
the costumes. the general beauty and thor
ourhness OF all the appointments, the
GLOBE spoke at length on the morning af-
ter the affair. Reiteration is therefore at
this time unnecessary.
The reception was so vast that minor
doiugs of the week sink into insigniH-
canoe. But it is not the purpose to insti-
tute comparisons, which as the immortal
Dogberry Justly said, are odious. The re-
cepdon was brilliant and solitary and 1t
has had its say. The doings of the week
have been quite numerous and just as
pleasant IN their way. It was the meteor
that swept by and left a brilliant path be-
hind, they are the clear, bright, twinkling,
beautiful stars which beaeck the society
heaven and their presence are dearer than
diamonds. The list VIII be found below.
