SpOoning in Parks.

Every body will acknowledge that one
o. the uses of public parks is that of
a trystinS place of young men and maid
ens who do their counting without assist
ance of chaperone. Sunday after
moons hundreds of young couples resort
to the parks to stroll about in blissful ST.
lence or rest on the settees that were"for
whispering lovers made, under shady
trees.
A park commissioner in Baltimore
has begun a crusade against indecorous
counting in the parks of that city.
There are of course various opinions
ABOUT decorum according to different
standards of propriety. Balti more in
sists that no sparkling offensive to good
taste and correct manners shall be allow
ed in public if a strong patrolman can
prevent it.
One couple has been arrested in Bal
timore for ''hugging" in full view of
passers-by in the park. The New York
World contends that the young man who
sits with strong arm around his fair com
panion on park settee does not mean
any harm by his tender attitude. The
editor continues:
Neither is there any scandalous sug-
gestiveness in it to healthy souls of men
and women bred III another school of
propriety, The embrace may be less con-
ventional and less awkward than that OF
the waltz, but it is not therefore immor-
al. 1t may be less Delsartian than those
which are witnessed without bushes by
the nice people who nightly frequent
the fashionable theaters, but is no more
suggestive Of evil to pure minds. 1t is
probably vastly more proper in every way
than the paintings, statuary, engravings
and photographs which decorate the
homes of those who are shocked by any
genuine love making.
Sill, spoony sparkers should hold
themselves in hand and remember that
,ve-making is offensive to the sight
Cupid blinds his victims and they canno
see themselves as others see them. Low
ers are Ia the minority and should b'
compelled o take back seat.

The BRAIN Work of Fashion.

Fashion makers, like poets, are born,
not made. 1t is not the great artists OF
the leading society ladies, not even the
famous beauties, any more, that make
the mode. They introduce it, indorse
it. realize it's possibilities, and all the
world follows. But the real inventor Of
modes, like the inventors Of other mar
vels, live unhonored and die un8ung
while the other fellow gets the benefit,
They are quiet women ormen, unknown
to the fashionable clientele, employed by
leading business houses to puzzle out
week after week something new and
startling. to evolve from their inner con
seriousness effective novelties to catch
the fancy Of rich and capricious women
animated by a desire to outshine their
kind.
And these quiet women are playing I:
great part III the cultivation of the beau,
tiful and the encouragement of art.
Wbv should it be accounted as less an
art to minister unto the taste for the
baautiful in the dress Of women than III
the elevation Of the ideal in fine build
ings or exquisite hanging8 and decora-
tions. save only that the art of dress has
no perpetuity, no fixed and unalterable
of excellence?-New York sun.

ON LIFE'S BANQUET STAIRS.

We pass each other on life's banquet STAIRS
New guests are mounting to the festal light,
While we descend together to the night,
Close muf1led 'gainst the outside wintry airs.
They tread upon our shadows as they climb
With quick, strong steps to join the crowd
and crush.
We see in sparkling eyes and speaking blush
How expectation gilds the coming time.
Young forms go by us, tossing rosy sprays,
In brave apparel, tints of flower and bird,
Of blossom patches by the summer stirr'd,
With sheen Of silk and gems that scatter rays.
Knew we such zest, true heart, when mount
ing up?
Such haste to lift the chalice to our lips,
TO learn if pleasure sWeeter is in sips,
Or when, with manhoods thirst, we drain the
cup?
Shall we stand by and carp at these and say:
60, giddy ones and mothlike fire your
wings.
Pleasure is pain, and laughter sorrow
brings?"
Shall we speak thus who once were young as
they?
Farewell! We've supp'd. Life's wine was keen
and bright;
Old friends move by and gain the outer door
The wind blows Bullets with northern roar,
And past the shadows CLEANS the distant Light

laugh at Sullivan. The police in going to
the theater passed sey en- saloons with their
doors wide open and three gambling
houses where the lights were streaming
down to the street. Yesterday was a ma
