The good done by society as collective
body is rather apt TO be moderated. For
instance, because it makes no pretense of
being a missionary association, but frankly
flies the pennant of pleasure, one is tempted
to forget It's efforts for Sweet charity"
Yet there are numerous noble institutions
that depend feares>ly en- the unfaillng
beneyolence of society. To serve at pretty
booth or Just attend 'to help the thing
along" seem slight acts. but they are fash
ionable, and, in the aggregate, highly pro-
ductive of good to the community. Curl
ously. too. it is generally acknowledged that
the time and loose change so expended are
rarely missed, while it is certainly perma-
nent qualification, in the midst of the breath
less pursuit of delight, to be conscious of
having given ones mite TO relieve the ever
present, if invisible. horrors Of pain and
want. The girls in the East lightly call
their willing service for charities cult
waiting Lent lilies,' and insist upon the gen.
tlemen helping with the heavier work. If
our Western bellies will take the hint these
days they may insure a rich crop of immor-
telleS for immediate and future satisfaction.
