Easter week opened well with the socia

The first three nights of the week wer'

The florists reaped q rich harvest las

partly compensated them for the dul

Nothing Is more enjoyable than being

Lent and before the move to Chicago ano
the sea shore, the four hundred are devot-
ing themselves to diving and plunging,
as taught in the swimming school, and il
certainly must be pleasant change from
the hot air of drawing rooms. There Is
Il as much need nowadays to know how tC
swim as to dance, as it is rarely that oul
girls do not at some time or other visit
sea shore or lake; and the courage given
by knowing how to swim gives pleas

Many of our own people, too, will start

doubtedly things will be fresher and the
weather cooler than later in the season.
Replying TO an inquiry, it may be saic
that the proceedings of women's literary
clubs cannot be classed as society events
though the clubs are frequently composed
of society people. Social circles and SO.
ciety circles are quite different, and, ii
the same manner, literary circles are mo-
society circles. For instance, the society
reporter of THE HERALD is employed t.
chronicle weddings mot marriages), par
ties, balls, teas, diniDgs and gatherings il
general where invitations are issued, an {
which are attended by ladies whose mod,
OF life permits of entertaining and being
entertained. No event can properly {,
called a society event where an admission
fee is had, unless it is under the charge o
ladies engaged in a charitable enterprise
and then only when they are dress affairs
Fraternity balls, parties, etc., are social
not society reunions, and card parties
limited to number embraced in a friend

asked to take notice of a painting in thes

Gale; but all that is outside and does no
belong to the society department. ST.
- t.,o
gentlemen, albeit known as sssociet,
men - There are no society men unless
IN the presence of ladies. and it is oul
habit, under instructions, not to mention
them except as SO connected.
