The Awkwardness of Men in Society.

men and women in this respect! Watch a man

call without his hat. After shaking
hands with his hostess, and ex

being presented to some people, his hands in

A woman, on the contrary, will enter room

eventually sit down with an at-home air, which
at all events gives the on-looker the impression
of perfect ease Then, at a bail, not one man
out of thousand can walk across the room when

has no idea of leaving The faculty has no au-
thority to grant her or anyone a degree, and the
corporation who do confer degrees have not con-

of Michigan University. spent one year in the
law school of that institution and is an attorney

regulations of the Yale Law School provide that
attorneys-atlaw shall be admitted to an advanced
course in the school without an examination.
When she applied for admission to the school
the faculty decided to admit her to the senior
class Sho was plainly eligible, being an attorney,
and especially as women are admitted as attor-
neys to practice in all the courts of this State as
well as of the United States, and also of Michi-
gan, Illinois. California and other States The
question whether to put her name in tho ca.a-
logue was brought before the corporation and it
was decided not to establish the precedent with

The New Game Which Promises to superseds

The New Game Which Promises to Superseda
All Others as q Social Amusement
Atlanta Constitution.
Drive-whist is not very unlike progressive
euchre in it's general form Any number d
tables may be brought into the game, one hand
is played, and then the couples change tables
advancing In rotation, as In progressive euehrs
only in drive whist the same partner is kept
throughout the evening. Then, again ii is mora
social, because each couple must in the course
of the evening meet with and play every other
couple in the room. unless, of course, there are
moro couples than there are hands played bat
it is possible to play from thirty to thirtyfys
hands between the hours of and 1880 O'clock
the last contingency is not likely to arise. Play.
ers assert that the game is very fascinating.
To play drive whist, the host or hostess must
procure score cards in sufficient number 80 as to
provide each couple with one. These score cards
are made like dancing programmes, to be fast
ened by cord, and give space at the top for
the lady's name and address, and opposite the
gentleman's name whose partner she is Below
the card is ruled in spaces so that there is one
column for points won, another for points loss
and a third for the names of your opponents
The manner of choosing partners for the even
ing is left to the ingenuity of the hostess and
different ways adopted One is to write the
gentlemen's names on the score-cards Tone name
on each card) and then let the ladies draw one
card each. When partners are once selected
they are kept throughout the evening. Tbs
cards are dealt and one hand is played At
the end one couple at each table has won
number of points and the other couple has
lost The gentlemen then make record, each
on his own card. Of the points won or lost with
the names of the other couple. The losing
couples at the tables then change places, each
going to the next table, and the losing couple at
the head table going to the vacant place at the
foot. Another hand is dealt and played an
other record made, another change of position
follows, and the game goes on. At the close 81
the game, when the number of hands previously
decided upon have been played each coupe
adds together all the points won and all lost and
then determines the difference The couple
that has won the greatest number of points
entitled to the head prize, and the couple that
has lost the greatest number of points gets the
foot prize. The prizes are provided by the hON
or hostess, or if the club meets to play 1t pro
cures prizes from its club fund for that purpose
The score cards are given to the ladies at sts
completion of the game.

The Art of Sitting Down.

Not one woman out of thousand is able to
sit down in a chair gracefully and elegantly. A
few. very few, sit down. and their opposite
neighbors cannot determine whether their shoes
are of English. French or American manufact-
ure. but these are quite the exception, and IN
very small minority. In England all young girls
are as regularly Taught to sit down properly,
just as they are taught how to play the piano and
sew. and that is by practice Consequently fe-
male shoe leather is by no means so apparent
as it is in this country. At dances, more partic
ulary this is noticeable. as movements there
are more hurried, and the place, music and con
versation hinder attention to minor details and
the display of ankle is somewhat alarming and
often by no means captivating Very few wom-

Rev. MI. j. savage, OF Boston.
Every aborer in America ought to be cap-
itaist at least to some slight extent, and almost
every healthy American laborer might be cap
itast but he must become wiser than he is to-
day. He must learn to be industrious, get rid of
his vices, and must not waste his wages. He
must learn to save, if it be no more than a penny
week. He must come to such control of his
own individuality that he shall be free partner
in q free contract, able, on his own account, to
accept or refuse the terms offered him. In some
way labor must be organized on one hand and
capital on the other, so that they can stand fac
ing each other as Free friendly, self-controlling,
independent powers Then they can peacefully
settle the problems that threaten their peace and
their prosperity. The outcome, it seems to me,
of human history, so far as the problems of la
Dor, as we'll as all departments Of life, are con-
cerned,-i to be this rise of the individual into
free, personal self control.

The FIRE which in the heart resides;
The spirit bloweth and is still,
In mystery our soul abides.
But tasks N hours of insight WILD
Can be through hours of gloom fulfud
With aching hands and bleeding feet
We dig and heap, lay stone on stone;
We bear the burden and the heat
OF the long day and wish 'twere done.
Not till the hours of light return,
All we have built do we discern.

On the same day Of the political
meeting at Evans Mill. Col. Coward,
our State Superintendent OF Education,
has appointed to meet the school TrlIs-
tees of the County in Orangeblrg; anu
the Teachers Institute will also be in
session. \ number Of the School TruS-
tees being also concerned in the politl-
cal meeting, it is feared that it will
interfere considerably with the attend
ancca the Trustees meeting, especially
from the lower part of the County.
This will be bad as it will look like
indifference to Col. Cowari'S visit. The
Trustees Meeting ought to be full, to
reflect credit upon Orangeburg County.
In view of this | propose that the

There is quite 4 strong tendency,
among individuals and some commu-
titles, in this utilitarian age, to neglect
to great extent, if not altogether, the
cultivation and pursuit Of social inter-
ests and pleasures. In the conception
and execution of the plans Of life, there
is Frequently little or no provision
made for the exercise and development
of social virtues. Now the highest de-
velopment of humanity is to be found
not merely in the cultivation Of the prac-
tical and physical side OF nature, but
also in the cultivation of the mental,
moral. and social faculties as well.
This view of the case is properly appre-
ciated by the community Of Lime
stone Surrounded by abundant evi-
dence of thrift, progress and prosperl-
ty, they also possess those social refine
ments which lend to existence many OF
it's chief attractions
