The panorama OF society has glided
through another week, each days do
lngs comprising q fresh scene on the
vivid canvas. Like the tisSolving views
" the stereopticon the events Of one day
ave melted into that Of the next, ieaV-
Ing behind faint outline for time
which only disappears with the near

ingS, one almost wishes Time might stay
in his flight and prO,OHg the scene, but
the tiny tinkls of bell behind the cur
tain has caused the canvas 70 move
along and the luncheon enjoyed so well
has changed to a reception, the recep-
tiOn 10 a dinner, the dinner TO party
wedding, or an evening at the theatre.
The charm Of the entertainment IS that
il comes fresh every day and disappears
with the night. Like the sunshine 1t
can be seen aud felt, but il cannot be
graspe1 or retained.
The social sphere has scarcely
changed front within the past few days,
and IL is husyiug itself with the same
form OF amusement aS kept 10 occupied
week ago. Card parties have succeed
ed card parties and withlittie variation,
progressive euChre has claimed the fem
inine attention.
No amount Of writing by any one per
son, especially il that person has social
aspirations. can give any adequate or
fair idea OF what the tc-m society means
to-day The reason is that Socl-
ETY. is so many sided While
the average man or wOman Is so
biased. Almost everyone views society
from their position Ia it or its attitude
toward them. Many people ana think
e-s who should be authorities often eN-
press the opinion that what is known as
society 10 this country is only passing

The attention given by artists, writ
ers and men Of taste and culture gener-
ally to the pleasures of the table gener-
ally is no new thing. Charles Lamb,
the great author, denOunceS the saying
that enough is as good as feast" for
vile. "cold, scrag-Of-mutt0n Sopnism,'
while johnson vehemently declares that
80 be merely satisfied is not enough"
Ella coufesses to being impatient and

ments. as 20 come home at the dinner
