SOCIAL SETS OF NEW YORK
Now Is the time Of year whom you read
about the swell set, the swagger set, and
the literary set. and the people who don't
know any OF them sigh and wonder how 60
get into society. ] do so wish that every
woman IN the world would understand that
she makes society for herself, and that il
IS good, bad or Indifferent as she chooses.
She wonders which Is the best set in New
York. It is like the best set every place
else. II it has riches, it does not blazen
them forth. II Its blood is blue, its
reputation Is white. Its daugh-
tiers are not advertised in the
daily papers as professional beauties, and
its sons sFe not conspicuous among the
horsey or fast set. II il charitable and kind.
It's men are honest and its women are above
reproach. The sets you read about are rich
yesterday, making a great display to day;
its downfall is chronicled tomorrow, and
the people who formed it are forgotten the
day after. Its women rate everything from
money standpoint, and the ups and downs
OF the street mean the increase or decrease
OF their So-called friends.

some far village, and wish you could see
all this gayety that you read about, really
can afford TO laugh it to scorn, for a set
does not make society. Society is the
gathering together OF TWO or three, five or
six, or as many as you will, who find much

WHAT WOMEN SHOULD WISH FOR.
While you ore wishing. wish for some
thing better than getting into any Of the
sets, wherever they may be-
Wish that you may have broader mind
aud a more charitable tongue.
Wish that you may not see SO quickly
wherein is the fault, aad that you may find,
without any trouble, just where the vir-
tua is.
Wish that yc"I Tnay be contented-not
without ambition, but seeing the good that
surrounds you
Wish that you may have courteous
manner, a kind word, and a considerable
thought for every man, woman and child
in the world.
Wish all these things with intensity
they will be worth having, and they will
surely come unto you. Bah.
