The Married Bellies Aelg,..

Society is not all joy to debutante
nowadays, the married bellies carry off
the honors. That is why so many of
the young girls of Philadelphia and
New York go abroad and stay till they
are old enough to win some attention
here. There isn't one of them who
stands the ghost of chance against
the perfectly dressed, we'll poised brides
of two or three winters An 18-year-
old girl is nowhere when they are
about. There might as we'll be no
balls or assemblies for that matter, so
far as the younger fry are concerned,
and as for the private entertainments
it's much the same thing there. The
"buds" take what partners are left
when the young married women have
had their choice. Girls are not the
fashion any more. The married bellies
dance just as we'll, dress just as richly,
and talk better! It doesn't compro-
mise the we'll dressed young man from
the bachelor apartment which he is in
no haste to desert for the benedicts'
quarters to dance attendance upon
them, and take it all in all, now is the
married bellies reign. The popular
unmarried women who can hold their
own in the ballroom are those of more
than one seasons standing. The debu-
tantes are eagerly heralded, the society
world is anxious to see them, families
clamor for the privilege of chaperon-
ing them, but after all they are likely
to enjoy their second and third seasons
better, and to get more desirable part
ners, than in the first. -PAiladelphia

London Society: In one of his nov
els Tolstoi dismisses for the time being
the love felt by a young man for
young girl or vice versa-attachments
which he says always fill him with dis
may-and proceeds to divide lovely
which he means love felt by human
creature for other human creatures
into three kinds-elegant love, devoted
love, and active love. The first he de-
fines as consisting in being enamored
of the beauty of the sentiment which
one experiences and in q complacent
satisfaction in the expression of it.
"In my country" he goes on, people
of a certain class who love in this ele-
CANT fashion are not content to speak
of it to everybody; they always speak
of it in French. It is an absurd and
grotesque thing to say, but I am con-
WINGED that there have been and are
in certain circle-many persons. es-
pecially women, in whom the love they
feel for friends, husbands, and children
won't cease the moment it was forbid
den to be expressed in French" De-
voted love consists, on the other hand,
in loving the operation of the sacrifice
one makes in behalf of the beloved OBJ
ject without troubling ones self in the
least to ascertain whether the beloved
will find him or herself the better or
verse for it This sort of love is ana
lyzed and illustrated with astonishing
penetration; the truth with which the
author points out the jealousy and har-
RAISING nature of this love being at
times almost painful. Thirdly, and
finally, active love consists in vehe-
ment desire to satisfy all the needs,
wants, caprices, reasonable and unreal
=! sonable, of the beloved one. Even the
faults of the beloved are dear to those
possessed by this love, inasmuch as they
furnish further needs to be satisfied.
"Such persons" he adds, rarely ex-
press their love in words, and if they
do so it is awkwardly and shyly ex-
pressed, for they are always afraid of
not loving enough; and such was the
love that could be read in the eyes,
the movements, and the words of
Sophie Ivanovna. Another acute OBJ
servation is made in connection with
the inner life of the Nekhlioudof fam
ily. "How often it happens that one
knows family for years without being
allowed, by the deceptive veil of les
bienseances, to perceive the true rela-
ton of the members of this family one
with the other. The thicker the veil, I"
he continues. "the uglier are the true
relations"
