The custom OF giving presents is growing
fronn wear 10 year, and is really rapidly as
sumiug the proportions Of an abuse to a
+ime.LoDorsd custom. The only merit or
Measure there can possibly be in giving is
when the gift is the voluntary offering OF q
,ans-ous heart out Of the proceeds of 3
IockstboOk that can afford the gift. But
n tbase latter days Christmas giving has
cs,aad 70 be Voluntary. For instance, a
isTy frisnd said to me yesterday on Mar
be, street: 81 an oat buying some pres
en,s and 4 while ago / was standing In q
sore looking ever the ground, when 3
woman, whom I ErOW only tecauke she
has the power to compel me to know her,
came up and said, Looking at Christmas
things? So ami have Just been look
ing at a present for you Now, what am
I 10 do? an compelled to buy her
present also. The hint was 80 broad can
not refuse to take it
Another case is that of q young lady who
told me the other dsy that she had telrd
a certain gentleman friend intended
giving her quite handsome present, and
she had not though OF giving him one,
but she felt that now shs could not help
doing 80. She could do nothing else. And
so il gees. Bat than We sll enjoy the hol-
idsys, even the poorest Of US, and If man
or woman carn1t give rs much as he or
SIZE receives, why they can't, and that's
the end O. It.

The purchase of Christmas presents ia
the one absorbing occupation at present.
Hence, society has been dull. Then, too,
with the prospect Of an indefinite eNpendl-
ture, psople do no. feel disposed to give
entertainments. Only pIincely fortunes
can stand the double strain, co that until
Christmas week il msy be- confidently eX'
pectsd that there will be bat little enter
tanning, except Of the gutter kind that does
not reach the ears or the society reporter.
A prominent social event OF the past
week was the Gilmore Concert at the
Grand Opera House on WedneE day even
ing. Manager Genther certainly has cause
TO feel proud Of the cultivated and fsshion-
able audience present. Quite number Of
ladies and gentlemen attended the
concert in toll evening dress, and
it was certainly Ons Of the
fnCst assemblsges ever gathered within
the walls Of a theatre in this city. The
concert was OF the mGSs eDi oysbie chsrsc-
ter and the auditors were Discriminatory
sppreciative. Nine. Blauce Stone Barton
and Mas Helen Dudley Campbell both
maze favorable impressions, although the
audience WAS deprived of the pleasure of
hearing Miss Campbell in a solO. Mime.
Barton possesses q remarkably beautiful
,Jics and its cultivation is as near perfect
a. could vel be insginsd. She is q great
friend Of Niue Kate Rolla, our own sc.

studied together under the famous Mar
chest. Nine. Barton was entertained
