More merriment, more dances, more
parties, more sweethearts for the maid
ems. more dear boys" for the married,
more joliity all around, is the New
| Years prayer of most women; and the
female who promises herself more ao-
stinences and self-denialS is quite the
exception TO the rule. Illustrative Of
this truth, candid friend urged a
Young maiden 10 reform. "Reform,"
4 cried the girl, "meaus TO remake.
/ Would YOU have me remade?" And as
she extended her splendidly formed
| limbs, smiled heavenly smile, and
I pirouetted round the room on the tiniest
/ of tootsicumS, her mentor declared she
could not be improved upon.

In the old three-volume novel Alger-
non was always an impossible hero,
with the ringlets just Sprouting through
I his satin juppOn, and Angelina was
sloppy, sentimental young thing, VINO
/ always screamed at the sight OF mouse
/ az the OppOrtune moment TO fall into
| "Algy's" convenient arms, and lie upon
his breast long enough-pOSsibly little
/ over time-but quite long enough to
/ hear him softly murmer, My angel,
and rise in pillows of ecstatic bliss at
| the touch of his lips to her alabaster
| forehead. Ia the dozen or two novels
/ by those authors now called standard
| the lOve-making is always full Of hero
| les, more or less, in which the women
are Superlatiye angels and the
| men demi-godS. There are al
ways Aladdin entertainments OF tor
| tune and estates in the back
ground. and there is nothing left for
/ them but 10 olive happy ever after, II
/ they can in such mOnotony OF endless
sunshine. Too much, even Of unlnter-
! rupted happiness, safes the brain and
| heart, Just as too much sugar safes the
palate. A little vinegar and mustard in
/ the family jar occasionally keep things
/ working whOleSomely. One would
suppose that modern materialism had
done entirely away with this style OF
/ hero and heroine; but it seems TO have
/ developed them in another and more
/ aesthetic form. In fact, il anything,
/ they are more subimated in their feel
/ ingSN than Algy and Angelina. They
may admit TO more beefStCak and not
quite so many rose leaves, and nectar
somewhat stronger than hOneydew; but
/ they never, no never, will admit even to
/ their own souls that so gross a thing as
/ love has drawn them to each other.

Quite q pleasant surprise party was
| rendered the Misses GauS, of Allegheny,
/ last Tuesday evening, at the residence
| OF their uncle, Albert Remele. Supper
/ was served at midnight, and all present
had a splendid time.
/
| The man or woman who originates n
new entertainment is greater than he
who couQuerS an army, for he conQuers
/ Uncommon enemy Of Northumberland.
just now the quiz party is is the latest
I thing. Its name suggests its nature,
/ and the Invited guest is plunged on his
/ arrival into a wilderness Of puzzle. The
rebus and riddle confront him on every
/ hand, aud questions are flung at him
FROM every quarter. At a quiz party
/ recently one Of the cleverest things to
| be guessed was young woman wound
round with silk thread. At last some
| body, after everybody else had despair
/ ed Of guessing her, suggested Oliver
| TwiSt-all over twist, Of course. The
mau who solves the most puzzles gets
prize at the end Of the evening. The
/ idea is novel, but it is really too much of
tax on the abilities of the guests.
Each season brings it's own new enter
/ tainmentS, but there are some time-hon-
ored amuSementS Of which ''age cannot
wither nor custom stale the infinite va
riety."
