THE SWELL SOCIETY GIRL.
Something of Her Way of Living and Man.
ner of Enjoying Herself Hugely.

The visitor to New York and the av-
erage citizen who works for his living,
saws a New York letter, seldom or never
sees the really swell society girl, unless
he catches a glimpse of her in her box
at the opera or sees her roll by In
elittering drag once year on coaching
day." Any one more thoroughly
guarded than the girl in question it
would be difficult to imagine. To be-
gin with, the season has been SO much
shortened of late that she is only in
New York q few months in the year.
Six years ago social festivities began in
September and no one thought of leav.
ing town before July. Nowadays FASH
ionable people never come home before
November, and the season is not fairly
open till December. 1t goes fast and fu-
rious for five months, and then comes on
the Coaching Clubs parade in May,
which officially closes the season.
The society girl runs over to England
in Nav and catches the London season
at its height. About the second week
of August she goes to Newport, where
she remains till quite late in September.
Thence she journeys to her fathers
country uOHlt anu uP LII
aration for the New York season. She is
called bud-a debutante-in her first
year, society girl in her second and is
pronounced passe in her third. Her
life is a constant series of entertain
ments. She rises late in the morning,
goes to a 2 o'clock breakfast or luncheon
in her mothers brougham, returns in
time to make an elaborate toilet and be
whirled through the Park at 6, when
she is brought back to dress for dinner
and the subsequent opera, reception or
ball, or perhaps all three.
At an early hour in the morning she
steps out of the carriage, wrapped to the
chin in furs, and falls YEARLY into the
arms of her maid. Her manner is very
"English." It is fashionable just now
to be brisk, wide-awake and jolly. The
romantic girl, the novel-reading girl, the
spirituelle girl and the accomplished
girl are all out of style. The girl of the
period is very bright. a bit horsey and
uncommonly attractive. If her flow of
spirits is sometimes forced and palpably
unreal, who can wonder? What would
YOU have? Fatigue will oyertake the
strongest of us.
Eventually she marries in her own
set. becomes one of the married woman
beauties" rides to hounds, goes yacht
ing with her husband and brings up a
family of well-bred boys and girls.
Rarei LIVERY rarely, indeed bit of
scandal furnishes her name. Whether
in London, Newport or New York she is
always as carefully guarded as prin-
cess. She never goes out without her
chaperons, and her mothers eye is ever
upon her. And the father? Does any
one ask about the old man? He plugs
away steadily in town eleven months in
the year, making the money necessary
for the maintenance OF the girl.

MaCkay's Daughter.

Miss Eva Mackay, of whom the cable
occasionally tattles to the entertainment
OF the ale-wives down in the green sea,
thus appeared as she passed before the
camera of a correspondent: ''She is a
tall, willowy girl, very nervous--contin-
ually, as one would say, 'on the Jump,
with big dark eyes sparkling with fun,
and with quick, ejaculatory manner of
speech, which is another proof of hel
highly nervous temperament. The ring
of laughter is in almost every word she
utters. There is something almost nun
like in The simplicity of her dress. She
will wear a cheap white gown in sum.

Old-FashiOned Integrity.

Now and then a man is discovered
who disregards the law of trade which

that, he obeys another law, seldom

''Do you think, Mr.. -, you could
make yourself whole, if you paid me so

Man has ever lived by "witty in
ventions' and sought out new paths
to wealth and material success. 1t
was thought, perhaps, by not few,
in the earlier days, that in some
way Rugby would give a straight,
and quick and "royal road" to
wealth; but not many weeks passed
by ere it was seen that only by the
sweat of the brow could man ever
make money here, upon the land.
And is not such the case anywhere?
But are there not other means of
investing capital and turning to
good account the materials and
locality around us than are presen-
ted in the actual working of the
soil? There are very. many articles
CONNECTED with wood, such as the
lathe and the cabinet makers tools
can turn out, that might we'll COM
mand the attention. There is, too,
at Rugby Road, a large quantity of
most excellent clay that could be
very proftably used by a pottery
company. 1t has been fully tested
and only awaits the hand and wheel
of the potter. Thus in the clay
under our feet and the timber over
and all around us wealth is presen-
ted to the man who has sufficient
wealth Of resource to extract and
utilize it. There are markets on
every hand in Tennessee for the
products Of small industrial manu-
factories, for, at present, the State
imports fully two-thirds of those
articles it could and should make at
home.

We occasionally receive letters
from enquirers asking about the
school terms, and how school funds
are raised, in Tennessee.
There is permanent school fund
in the State, the interest of which
goes to the public schools; the State
also leyies q tax of 10 cents on each
500 worth of taxable property;
and over and above this the coun-
ties are allowed to levy an addition
al tax, which right most counties
avail themselves of. The county tax
ranges from 5 to 25 cents on 500.
The result is, we have public schools
in the rural districts of most of the
counties from three to five months
in the year. A great many neigh
borhoods have schools from six to
ten months. For high class schools
and Universities, Tennessee ranks
amoung the very first States in the
Union.

The cholera outbreak in this
country in 1878 developed almost
simultaneously in Ohio, Minnesota
and Dakota and appeared to take
infection in each case from the bag
gage of immigrants. The disease
appeared within thirty-six hours
after the baggage was unpacked.
The Medical News says the evidence
as to the origin of at least these
three outbreaks, widely distant
from each other, was conclu-
sive and indicates that all baggage
from infected ports should be sub
jected to a most thorough disinfec-
ton before being allowed on shore.
In that year cholera appeared in
the United States before it reached
Paris.
