over The balpstsrs bends q fncs.

Over the balUsters bends face,
Dar!ngly sweet and bggu.ling;
Somebody stands in careless grace,
And watches me picture, smiling.
Tired and sleepy, with dropping head,
wonder why she fingers:
And when all the good-nigbts are said,
Way somebody holds her Fingers.
Holds her fingers and draws her down,
Suddenly growing holder,
I'll her loDse hair dr0ps It's masses brown
Like a mantle over his shoulder.
Over the balus,er soft hands fair
Brush his Cheess Like feather;
Bright brown lr.,ses sud DUSK hair
Meet and miug,s together.
There's a question asked. there's a swift caress,
she has Town like "a alrd from the hallway;
But over the b tlgster drops a yes
That shall brighten the world for him Away,

The face OF society has frightened
little, and followers OF the capriouS
nymph are enjoying a brief respite from
sOlemnity. few favors have been
generously given and gladly received.
The past week has seen a certain reac-
ton, which does not promise 70 end even
with the next few days. Pleasures Of
the past will repeated i'm pleasures Of
the future, and although nothing
very elaborate is scheduled there is
enough assured 20 afford entertainment
for that portion of the world that has
an eye 10 enjoyment. Almost all Of
February yet remains for social gayety
aud diversion before, according 70
usage the larger entertainments will
subSide during the Lenten season 10
allow fashionable people 70 conform 70
the religious ObSeryanceS Of that period.
II is already evident that many
social festivities will be crowded
into the time that intervenes be-
fore this conformity on the part
of so many pleaSUre-loying people will
be required. L. cannot be said that the
Cayety has as yet reached anything like
fever heat. There can be but little
question that among the important
changes affecting society and operating
70 transform il, one is its increased null
duplication into small lotteries. Once 10
q while something occurs 70 give the
impression that social life in the city Is
being more unified, brought into closer
harmony and homogenity, but IL Is
ephemeral and no one who IS familiar
with the interesting social life or the
city or who studies IL closely, can fail 20
see that every year IL is being divided
more and more into cliques and separate
little communities. Society has deity
drifted from its course Of brilliant
events into succession OF UNIQUE ones,
each one leaving It's impress upon the
seasons record. IL has descended
from It's zenith of gayeJy into a shifting
series Of characteristics. LuncheouS
and progressive topics harmonic. THESE
illustrative combinations OF social cheer
and culture are interSpersed with small
informal assemblies and Chat-cOiiatiOnS
the latter being snug little affairs OF
n half-dOzen friends. At this time,
though society is Subdued IL is notat all
restful. The charitable pulse Is partlc-
ularly strong just now, and will reach
climax I'm the KermOiSe and the pound
party at the new hospital on Tuesday.

The one charm above all others OF .
debutante, a bud, Is her freshness, her
enthusiasm, her interest in people and
things. During the first season every
thing IS so delightfully."- novel that the
interest is perpetual and the enthusiasm
natural. After the second and third
year the flow OF spirits slowly OOzeS
away, and the Indifferent woman, with
the blaSe, bored expression, Is only to
be avoided second 20 the indifferent
man, with mis- blaSe, bored looks and
cynical phrases. Freshness is a charm
that fadeth like a flower, but 1t is
Drized attribute. IL is difficult 70 keep
up the interest sometimes, but hold fast
10 it, II Go seems 10 be slipping away.
II you wish TO remain in society you
must retain your interest; without it
there is little chance.
