round Of pleasure, such as 1t Is daily our
privilege to record just now. For ''once in
a while" it might seem pleasant thing. but
for balls, teas, luncheous and other affairs
TO be the rule throughout the season and not
comparatively the exception would fairly
terrlfy the majority. Yet in the East and
Europe such continuous giving and receiving
of pleasure does invariably exist throughout
the season. Gradually western life is shap-
ing itself upon the established lines, as it
realizes the enjoyment to be extracted from
a more general interchange Of hospitality.
There is no need Of sacrificing much to the
new gods Reciprocity has always been the
safe guide in entertainment. ITO give as
we take" may not be a rule of very high
standard, but if followed would give society
all the work it could do. The idea seems
to be gaining ground, for the days up to
Lent are crowded with promised pleasures.

entertainments 10 the La MontagneS, the
Oyster-Tu wedding, the Oakland cotil-
