''She could sing and she could play
She could dance from night till day,
She could while the hours away,
So tbs said
She could skate and she could paint,
She could play the patron saint
But she coudn' and she wouldn't
The rest isn't true, because she can and
she does, and to great advantage too; the
nineteenth century girl calls down criti-
cism on her progressive young head, but
she is indispensable for all that, and
sometimes she doesn't dance, and gives her
precious time to working for the band of
Kings Daughters, of which she is a mem
Der. That particular one has lovely dark
velvet eyes. bright, healthy cheeks, a
sweet smile and last Wednesday evening

by Mrs. Tracy G. Hunter, much taste

Society appeared in full sway last Tues
day evening to see Modjeska, and theater
parties were made 10 see the heavy.
homely woman, but fascinating actress.
Enthusiastic youth went into ecstasies
over the natural, graceful acting of
Orlando, and fell into rapturous ad-
miration of the athletic, manly Otis Skin
ner, and raved Economically over his we'll
knit figure and magnetic smile. Celia
also came in for gOodly share of admira-
ton; her easy manner and lovely face
proved most fascinating. But il is pity
that the stampede that takes place dur
ing the end of play should be allowed.
Many complaints of the unnecessary
haste TO leave the theater have been
made, but probably not until the minen-
alum, will the small boy cease to be
tempestuous torment.

ball, socially, was the event OF the
week, and brought out the dancing
people in large numbers; the hall was
well filled, yet not too crowded for enjoy

were present some promising buds for an
other season, and one of the most attrac-
tive was Miss Marie Moynelo, who was
the subject Of much admiration. A dark
eyed maiden, gowned in white, with
gorgeous bunch of jacqueminot roses,
nesting against her fair throat
was sweet picture of blossom
ing girlhood. A popular debutante in
blue was the center Of much attraction:
her bright coloring and soft blue-grey

quetry, and natural effervescence of cor
diality that completes the charm. A win
ter in Canada has heightened her stature,
and has not furnished her individuality,
for she remains a typical and ideal south
ern woman. Another debutante, gowned
in deep pink, is suggestive of cameo
beauty, her midnight hair and eyes, her
clear-cut features, her reposeful manner
and her white, smooth brow is out of the
ordinary run of Indifferent blondes and
dusky brunettes. She is gentle,
womanly woman and her thoughtful
demeanor is prophetic of a success
