THE SOCIAL WORLD.

In social way the past week has been
one of general iollity. The number of
public gatherings has been large and in
this respect it has been one of the most
successful weeks of the season. There
have been a couple of masquerade balls,
the one 1.-THE Athen@um by the German
society on Monday night being
particularly brilliant and elegant.
But somehow it did not eclipse the efforts
of former years. Some of the older So
ciety folks indeed, who have attended fetes
of the society, for 10, these many years,
complain that it was not quite up to the
standard of former years. At any rate the
attendance was large and as usual the ap-
pointments were all that could have been
desired. There have been, during the
week, great many balls, parties, dances
and assemblies. Terpsichors is the only
one of the graces which has been signally
honored, her shrine having been the center
of attractions for the gay and giddy throng
throughout the week. Outside of one or
two quiet private parties and couple of
notable weddings, there have been no es-
sentially home socials. 1t seems indeed
that Hymen is in fair way to sink into
outright disrespect and neglect.
1t is high time an end be put to this
apathy; the matrimonial market has gone
begging and the god of love, unless things
change for the better soon, needs must
shift his honey-laden darts and quivers
for suit of sable and engage in the I'M
dertaking business. The Indifference will
not be tolerated by,h lordship much
longer or war may be looked for that
will rival the famous controversy that took
place about Mrs. Venus.
