The Social World In General.

March has come In like lamb" this
gear, and so IL It would sustain the
proverb makers reputation for reliability,
Il must go out like lion" However,
society feminine is with true Southern
insouciance basking in the present glo-
rious weather without any OF that care
full thought for the morrow that is so
destructive Of the roses in the cheeks and

cret of flower life and is making roses
while the sun Shines" for they are glow
ing gayly in her face for the admiration
and desire of all masculine beholders, as

very devout the men get just at this sea-
son. but this is merely an aside) Let us

she will be more absorbed in the devo-
lions than in her neighbours new bonnet
but then the sweetest type of the Richmond
girl is too really religious creature for
that, no doubt!
