Oh. vninly Tor her love I sued.
She ouly answered chatting.
Aud all my courtesies were viewed
Through eyes with mischief laughing.

With the New Years festivities
eliminated, society last week was ex-
ceedingly dull. 1t was just the sort of
reaction that one might expect after a
week OF continuous gavety, and it was
welcomed by society as season for
rest. Probably no one day In the year
involves so many social obligations as
the first OF January. Custom has de-
creed that it Is q day for calling, and
there are few persons who would dare
20 violate social custom so firmly cs-
tablished. Society, as well as indlvid-
uals turned over new lear on New
Years, not because there is anything to
regret 10 the picture which retrospect

predecessor, no person familiar with
tle interest manifested in social mat
ters this season, can doubt.

most inviiing appearance. A COM

visitors, and their presence added
charm 20 the other attractions provided
by the Association for the occasion.
