Somebody said they would like to get
into good society. 1t started the question
what is good society? \ bright New
York lady tells us.
Good society is that where toadyism is
frowned down upon and scandal-mOngers
are not admitted.
Good society is that where men are
respectful. where off-color stories are not
told, and where the women do not smoke
cigarettes.
Good society is that where one earns
ones title OF gentleWOman not only by
birth but by good manners.
Good society is that where to understand
Greek is of less importance than to under
stand courtesy in all its laws.
Good society is that which is not per-
sOnal in its talk, but which finds sufficient
topic of interest to discuss without dllat-
ing on the sins OF neighbOrS.
Good society Is that where the art OF
the coming and speeding the
parting guest Is graciOusly practlCed.
Good society is that where women are
not hastily Judged, but once they are be
leved to be unUruthful, deceitful and i'll
bred they are OstraCiSed.
Good society is that which can give a
dinner without sending a notice OF it to
the newspapers. can Introduce 4 daughter
without having her fTOckS made the sub
j9ct of paragraph, and who believes that
the family and its happiness Is OF more i'm
portance than the booming OF a beauty or
being counted among the Four Hundred.
Good society is that which. while il rec
oguizee the vaTue of all conventional rules,
is vet sufficiently strong to be guided &C
ea-ionly by hearts, ana not OF necessity to
follow a leader, as sheep do.
Good society is that where n mother
knows that her daughter or son is safe.
Good society. my friend. i that which is
formed when two or three are met together
in pleasant converse. You can. II yOn
viii. though yours be only room in "a
boarding house, make the best society in /
the world there.
The poetese. Il. K. p - sends in piece (
Of gossip in rhyme aud while of course /
poetic license hardly extends TO the i'm /.
aGinatiou. which we think was uO5left /.
in these stanzas. the motif
is good and the gossip is given herewith. !
The poem is subscribed under the caption /
Of "One Day.
In the balnly month Of May,
just by chance one fair bright day;
y maiden sweet and youth As gay.
Met and loved, 50 the gossIps say. /
Down shaded lane they sauutered slowly /
Toward her nome. so poor and lowry,
The dreamy twilight, pure and holy,
Stole softly down around them.
Darling, love YOU and the depth Of my 4
great love
Shall CIV u be as bOundless As the stormy
heaven above. /
These strong arms VIII protect thee, - my
sweet little dove.
From all the Ills OF life which may sur
round thee.
Oh, tell me, divine angel. can you, viii I.
YOU be ms brides
To win would fll my inmost soul with .
gratitude and pride.
The bliss that J would snow with thee
always hy my side,
