Mrs. Roger A. Pryor contributes to the
September number of the Cosmopolitan a
readable" paper on the evolution OF the
society journal, which seems to have been
called forth by the structures OF MISS
Francis Power CObbe on the American
love Of notOriety. She traces the origin
OF the society paper to a mutilated statue
and PasQuinO, the Roman tailor, from
whose name and witticisms the term, pas
ouinade was derived. The mutilated
statue which stood in front Of Pasouino's
shop and was daily posted over with tests
and witticisms was the first society
| journal and from it the writer traces
| the development OF the phenomenal growth.

matters are always interesting, whetner
verbal or written, and are closely scanned
in every cline.
