4 MOVING TALE
Where Our Society Folk Will
Go Next Month, and
Who Will Take
Their Places.
THE HEGIRA WELL BEGUN.
May Is an Over-Rated Month, and
Not Near So Merry as 1t
Pretends 10 Be.
THE HEGIRA WELL BEGUN.

The merry month OF May is all very
well to read about, or dream about. or
even sing about in an old fashioned part
song, but the merry month is about as Tar
away from merry as anything can De.
Listen to my tale of woe.
Next Monday morning the house
holder-or let us say the house-renter-
will fiud himself surrounded on every
side by furniture and p-acking-boxes,
rugs rolled up and pictures swarthed In
canvas. His day Of rest will either have
been lost entirely. or. should be be one OF
the pious family. the work of disruption
will have been done on Saturday, and the
day spent in camping amid the ruins.
The house-renter will have left injunc-
lions with the owner of a team TO
come and take away his goods, and
the owner of the team having solemnly
given his oath, will break it entirely or
in part, and cause un~pleasantness. sup
posing be does come on time, and gets
everything loaded into a series of wagons.
Then he gets in his fine work. He waits
until he has all the china, all the glass,
the parlor mirrors and sue like substan-
tials In one wagon load. Then he chooses
with discrimination a spot where he cfn
block four lines of Cars, and just there
loses a wheel. 1t is a sad thing for the
house renter to reflect that it Is his china,
tha is inspiring so much profanity with
the people on board the cars.
And this will be the first day of the
merry month of May.
Fsncy a bride choosing that month for
her weddingI Why. there won't be
enough to fill half the space In the papers
that they have this month. Then 1t will
rain, too, rain every now and then, with
out giving previous warming; rain right
out of blue sky, too-a little thing like
that doesn't discomfort May weather
aud take it all in all, 1t will be an of
month. not cold enough to be winter, not
hot enough TO be summer. n MOI late
enough to go to the country. This has a
glum and f%oreboding sound, and well it
may.
U MAY MOVERS.
The May movers In this city this year
began in April. Ii this does sound mac
curate, IL is true. The most important
move in the social world is that of Gem

structure was building and people stopped
to say disparaging things of its size, just
as large houses are always called the
folly" of the particular man who built
It. When the house stood empty for q
month or SO, early in the year, the general
public wondered whether it would be
used for an orphan asylum or a club
house, and everyone in the vicinity was
delighted when II was to be deliberately
decorated and furnished, and occupied by
Gen. and Mrs. Heppenheimer. Already
it has taken on q more habitable look
than 1t has lone for years.
