The new year came in under the most
kDlcions circumstances, crowned VIII
Veral notable social events.
The old year was young to the very
last and showed no hating gait as he
passed through the portals held open by
the portals of '93. The world of fashion
and society could hardly have compre'
bended more than has been held forth
and as quickly seized by young and old
during the closing week Of the old year
Every walk and station OF life had It's
share 10 the feast OF pleasures spread
Each day and night contained It's por
tion OF good things, As the days slipped
by weighted with their burden OF de-
lights, there was a possible thought
that the coming of the new year
would cause a break iC the steadily
flowing tide, but such anticipations are
made grouudleSs with the knowledge
that the advancing days will see but
continuation of the merry round
Fresh and full Of promise dawns the
new year, ana its coming is frsugh'
with memories of the past, as well as
wishes for the future. The year Just
ended has contained much that viii
dwell I'm the memory OF the socia
world. The record OF the twelve
month is starred with pages bright and
Rlittering, and the events that have oc'
Cured between years end and year;
end are pleasant to recall.

The bsll as a social institution Seems
to be the distinguishing mark OF mod
erp Western civilization. Turkish d.
plomacy has made concessions 4
European habits, so that the represent
atlves OF TIE Sublime Porte are per
mltted to give balls, and the younger
Ottomans are sometimes tempted to in
dulge in 8 furtive waltz. But, as {
rule, decent Orientals may not trip 4
on the light fantastic toe. IN this re
spect Europeans and Americans have
surely chosen the wiser course. For
barring the incidental objection attach
ing to late hours, which are no neeeS
sary part Of Terpsichore's practice, tht
ball is the most reasonable OF social en-
treatments. Fer women balls may
sometimes be full Of disappointment
but they are the paradise Of men. A
balls the fair sex put on their best
charms OF manner, their finest attire
their daintiest jewels, and, 10 a word
Aen all the battery OF female attract
ass. The general radiance Of feel
