A Recent Society Fad-Note and
Comment in General.
One of the greatest fads this winter in
society has been ''elOcution." This is
not the most expressive term to convey
the meaning that young ladies basklng
in the happy circumstance Of having
papas with plethoric bank books have
gone wild, during the past few months,
to appear in public and declame as Won
derful speakers, but it is sufficient for
the present occasion. Like all of the
evaneScent tastes that the wealthy
classes cultivate for short space and
drop when they become weary of them,
this thirsting for public speaking has
produced number of people who have
thrived upon it by hanging out their
shingles as teachers of elocutiOn.
They can be found all over the
city in splendidly arranged offices on
NicOllet and Washington avenues, and
ceived in the private residences of the
teachers. In speaking to one of the lat
ter few days ago, she said the greatest
difficulty she experienced was in get
ting people out of the habit of saying
their lines as if they were singing them.
''The experiences are very funny" she
said, ''and the classes of people
who think they are born
actors are too numerous to mention.
One lady, with corkscrew curls and a
formidable umbrella, struck the Office
few days ago, and having extended the
bingham as far as she could reach and

Ophelia complete. 'Ah! compose your
self, in second ! will break forth and
surprise the world Poor creature, by
this time had got assistance and had
her gently removed. | found out after
ward she was Eighty in her upper story,
but perfectly harmless except when she
wanted to recite. Girls have more con-
fidence than men. We have few male
pupils, but they blush and Stammer So
much they are not very promising
pupils by any means" N

A funny mistake was made on re-
ligious dOdger that was peddled around
few days ago. By the omission Ola
full stop after certain word, the last
sentence read: 1--WE gladly welcome, all
who shall separate us from the lovetOf
Christ"
There has been good deal of distress
occasioned during the winter by men
being out of employment. 1t was not
supposed that the lack of work applied
to girls also, but this must be fact. for
over thirty girls applied on one day
alone last week to the Housekeeping of
one of the leading hotels importuning
for work.
A gentleman received large EN-
velope few days ago containing a
portrait, and OH the outside of it in the
upper corner was the following startling
notice: This contains nothing but
photographer" OF course it will be
obvious to everyone what was meant,
and it is needless to add the sender was
