SOCIAL STRINGS.

| spplies beyond the church precincts and in
| vadeS fashions realms, brought last week
| s down-faliing snow and cruel wind that
wen-nigh frcze warm-hearted 1olhty. Snow
is beautiful, for the poets say so, and poets
are very literal as Is known, but snow in
| March that is not enough for sleighing is
an effectual bar 70 sociability. Even the
/ well-housed feel cross, and the humane and
the pitiful have aching hearts when they
think Of the misery Of the prisoners Of
| poverty"
The ladies Of the Associated Charities in
this city do not content themselves with
mere sentimentalities, but, inclement as
was the weather, they were seen in various
parts of the city administering TO the poor
| and suffering, amid falling snow and biting
wind doing good for sweet charity's sake.
Here is a Held for the philanthropist. '-The
poor ye have always with YOU and such
! persons as can not give their time to the
work can, if they so viii, find some way to
aid this noble band in their efforts to
! amedierate the condition of the needy.
The Shakespeare club met on Friday
night at the home of Capt. Terrell The
topic for the evening was the third act in
the Merchant of Venice. 1t is expected
that this play will be finished in two more
sessions, ana then Julius Caesar will be
studied. The next meeting viii be at the
home of Miss Ida VanZandt. The young
ladies express themselves as much de-
lighted with their work in the club, and
find the study of the great dramatist alike
pleasant and profitable. To the young gen.
tlemen it is certainly boon, as they are
pleasantly received into some OF the best
homes in the city, and pass one evening of
the week in ladies' society that Is not idle
or frivolous.
The ladies Of ST. Andrews guild are
busy preparing for the reception of the new
rector who is expected here about the first

Women are always found on the list when
there Is a movement that depends upon the
loftier feelings of humanity for its success,
hence it is not singular that the Al Hayne
monumental association should have for its
promoters, women. A meeting was called
for Tuesday at the residence of Mrs. ]. r.
Hoxie What was done has not been made
public, but if Fort Worth has an Al Hayne
monument, public fountain, city park
and Worlds fair exhibit, it will be due to
the untiring efforts Of few untiring
women.
The devotees of Terpsichore did not en-
tirely desert her halls during the past
week. On Monday night the Hebrews of
this city gave ball which was largely at
tended. The costuming of some OF the
ladies was extremely elegant and the func-
ton passed of delightfully."-.
The men at the switch sometimes are of
duty, and when this is the case they OBJ
serve UH0 same uuellly 10 nledSufS IudG
marks them as keepers of human lives.
The ball given by them on Thursday night
was under the a5spices of Lodge 10 of the
Switchmen's mutual aid association. The
decorations were in keeping with St Pat
ricS's day and the jollity Of the occasion
was suggestive of the merry lads Of the
Green Isle.
The day was further celebrated by lee
ture and concert inaugurated by the Altar
society of the Catholic church in this city.
Bispop Brennan delivered the lecture
and some of the noted lady musicians of the
city lent their services. OF these were
Mrs. Price, Mrs. England, Mrs. Curtis, !.
Miss Bragassa, Miss Ella Reeves, MisSF
Ella Montgomery, Miss Hubbard and Mis-.

The cool wave seems to have waited the
rogue Cupid to Fort Worth and Hymen was
still active enough to help on his work. On
Thursday Mr.. Will Boardman and Miss
Lena McAlIister were married, somewhats
on the sly, it is said.
On the same night Mr.. Clarence Sanford
and Miss Daisy Newlin stole a march on
their friends and were made one.
The ball and campfire which was to have
been given by the Woman's Relief Corps,
G. A. R, was postponed on account of the

other of the charitable associations of Foger
Worth that is active in good works.
