that long-dead indoor sport, tabooed

roller skating? However. a Lenten roll
er skating club has already been form
ed among the cream OF Gotham's So
ciety. and all lowers OF that delightful
and most celebrating pastilne may
send their heartfelt thanks to Mr.. F..
r. Lefferts, Jr., who has made IL pos
sible TO once again bring out roller
skates with a clear conscience.
Gotham has long WINGED under the
restrictions imposed upon her during
the Lenten days, and this plan of Mr..
Lefferts for roller skating club. which
exercise is fortunately not found in the
category with dancing and like frivoli-
ties prescribed by the Episcopal church
during the forty days Of Lent. has been
taken up with the greatest enthusiasm
and made him veritable Napoleon
among the younger set.
The meetings ara to be held In the
Berkeley Armory, West Forty6ourth
street. during ti1es Thursday evenings
OF Lent. Holy Thufbday OF course being
excepted. and the charge of each guest
amounts to about IS. Music is to be
furnished by an orchestra of eight
pieces, and light refreshments served at
the close of the evening.
Mr.. Lefferts wisely bears IT In mind
that it was the irresponsible skating
masters who souilned the knell of roll
er skating in olden time. and the pos
sibility OF a rosebud heiress clipping
with one of them has been guarded
against by the gilded youth OF the
smart set taking 1t upon themselves to
instruct the fair sex in the art. They
are already getting into practfce on
the smooth asphalt pavements OF the
city streets.
The Thursday following holy week the
Anal evening VIII be given, when the
Festivities will wind up with q big
dance and supper, to which many
friends of the members WIN be invited.

The latest society OF New YORK state
is the Daughters of the Cincinnati. It's
advisory board and interests are to be
similar to the Daughters Of the Revolu-
ton and the Colonial Danes. The so
ciety Is composed Of women Who are
direct iineal descendants OF officers Of
the American army or navy who took
part In the revolutionary struggle with
Great Britain, and who were entitled
to original membership In the Society
OF the Cincinnati. or WHO would have
been entitled to such membership had
they been living at the close OF the
war.
Apropos of the subject, the d. r.
and d. A. r. seem to be losing sight OF
their common object--to emulate the
men and women of the Revolution
over the question which has arisen as
to the eligibility of members to their
respective societies.
The vital question Of hneal and col
lateral descent has been finally decid-
ed by the Continental congrss Of the
d. A. r.. held In Washington in Feb
ruary. 1894. and ltneal descent only
recognized as the banner word OF the
society. Practically now, therefore. the
ID. r. and d. 4. r. are on the same
footing as regards membership. al
though. as at first. the u. A. r. ad-
mitted collatera.s, there are many
In that society not entitled to member
ship In the d. r.
Be that as IL may. let US look to Il
that the spirit of snobbishness. the
bane of our nineteenth century civiliza-
ton. enters not into a society that
should have fon its primary object
the uplifting and broadening of human
fsy. Let us bear in mind the watch
word of our common ancestor, the SOL
der of the Revolution: Peace: and.
too. equality and unity"
