New YOrk's Social Whirl.

In the give and take of social inter course in New York, society women have as much as they can do to pay debts incurred, to return civilities, to attend to the vast correspondence entailed by the growth of their circle and responsi- bilities, and, worse than all to daily go upon rounds of calls among people scattered between Washington and Stuyvesant squares, and the neighbor- hoods on either side of Central park. The matter of days which, inscribed on the cards of one's acquaintances, stare one in the face from Dece m Der to April with unrelenting reminder that there is no eluding the vista of sociability thus opened might occupy a chapter to it. self
 Dinner calls are obligatory; visits of coincidence and congratulation as re current as ocean tides. A thousand and one minor claims absorb the hours set apart for outside service; and with all this, many women find time for classes, courses and lectures, and often keep up studies in which their young people are employed. Those who talk of the rush of the London season should reflect that what the English concen- trate into three months, and put aside in favor of more leisurely and rational existence, is by us spread over the en- tire year. For, in one way or another, our business of pleasure goes on until June, and is transferred to Newport oi Bar Harbor.-New York Cor. Ladies Home Journal.

Tho Queens Photographs.

Her majesty the queen IS supposed to have the largest collection extant of photographic portraits of notabii- ties of her time, from the portraits of kings queens, emperors and em presses downward. They begin in the early dawn of the art of making sun pictures in the days of those daguerreotypes on metallic surfaces which generally required you to hold them sideways before you could get a view of their rather pale and feeble traits. Hence they embrace the whole history of the art and are thoroughly representative of the progress of photography. If repro duction of all in some permanent process be impossible. a selection might be made which would be well worth preserving for the information of future generations.
 Unfortunately. time is no respecteg of photographs. royal or otherwise, and many of the most interesting must show signs of fading. The col lection would justify the appoint ment of royal photographer. one of whose duties it would be to watch the collection, and copy those which are considered worthy of preserva tion before they fade. de.-Photographic News.

Dinners for London Children.

The Princess Christian was present on Saturday afternoon at the Memo rial hall. Far1ingdon street, at a demonstration of halfpenny dinners for schools, the children present be- ing from the Alma Board school A fund has been organized by the Lon don Vegetarian society and the Bread and Food Reform league, its aim be ing to teach practically the advan- tages of wholesome, nourishing food by means of school children's din ners. and specimen meals to missions and other institutions
 At the Alma, East Lane and West Ham Board schools the dinners have been given with decided success for some years, the children greatly ben citing by the meal and the teachers finding more willing and apt pupils The organizers of the fund believe that by practically teaching the ad vsntages of these staple foods and by encouraging their supply in poor dis tricts it will enable the toiling mil lions to obtain cheap. healthy. nour ishing food.
 The fund also aims at removing the ignorance which prevails on the subject of health and food reform by organizing entertainments, lantern lectures and cookery demonstrations, at which short practical addresses are given explaining the advantages of wholesome foods and the prin. ciples of hygiene; and it is stated that health councils and exhibitions will be organized in the parliament ary districts to direct the attention of all classes of society to this impor tant subievt "--London Times.

HOW LINCOLN PROPOSED.
The Remarkable l. tter That Led to
 an Unhappy Marriage.

The Remarkable l. tier That Led to
 an Unhappy Marriage.
 From the Young Ladies' Fashion Bazar.
 Abraham Lincoln's offer of marriage was a very curious one, and. siugularly enough, it has but recently come to light. Numerous as his biographers have been, and closely as they have gleaned for new facts and materials. 1t was lett for the latest one. Mir Jesse of Greencastle, to discover this unique and characteristic production of MT Lin coins almost untutorel miud. The let ter is one of several written presumably to the lady he afterward married.
 Addressed to My Dear Mary" it reads thus: You must know that I can't see you or think of you with entire indifference; and yet it may be that you are mistaken in regard to what my real feelings towards you are. If I knew you were not should not trouble you with this letter. Perhaps any other man would know enough without any further information, but I consider 1t my peculiar right to plead ignorance and your bounden duty to allow the plca. '

Aud for the purpose of making the matter as plain as possible, I now say you eau drop this mhj ct. dismiss your though, If yon ever had any-from me for eyer. and leave this letter unans wered without calling forth one accusing mur mnr from me And I will even go fur tlipr, and say that if it will add anything to comfort and peace of mind to d so, it is my sincere wish that yon shouli Do not uu.lerstand by this that I wish to cut your acqnai,tance. l mean no snch thing.
