Chitral in fragrant defiance Of the solemn as
surances which were given to the nation In Par

\ singular and ancient custom takes
place the first Thursday in December
every year In the little Belgian city OF
Arton. This is the celebrated St. Nicholas
festival. and its count srpart is probably
impossible to fiu1 in any country.
Peasants, male and female, enter the
city in the early morning, all dressei IA
their holiday dress and all bent on being
married. The young mca and women
march up and down on the market place
and as soon as a young peasant sees
girl for whom he has liking he invites
her TO one IF the many cabarets or cafes
hat surround the market, and here the
agreement AID 60 dltiOns for the MARI
age are talked over.
The young peasant Is always al tended
by an important parsonage, called "the
spokesman" This man enjoys the CONN.,

much Of marriage portion each girl Is

TIE ANNIOUE HONTENS.
The Society Young Man and His Love
for Posing.

HCstesses are beginning 20 complain
With bitterness Of the difficulty eff finding
men willing to dance The complaint is
OF course, not a new one For everal
seasons past men have ,hown an ncreas-
ing Discrimination TO exert themselves in
the giddy Valse or in the rathtr grim
quaGrille. The lancers nave found them
in 5rt, and tn polka has merely set them
yawning. Yet girls continue 10 love the
BALI as dearly as the young person Ia
Mlckworth Praod's Ioem. What can be
the reason? Probably The boredom of the
men is 10 a cor siderable extent a mere
affectation. Young men are, as a rule,
more sclfcOnscious, more chlldishly Affect
ed. than young women. They are very
nearly as vain. sometimes far more so,
and a good deal more foolish. The con-
Sequence is that they are perpetually pos
ing, and there are fashions in poses as
there are fashions In everything else. At
present II Is the fashion TO pose as a non
dancer. The whole thlrg IS too much
trouble for the gilded youth. He is worn
to thread with intellectual exerton.
Dancing is a frivolity beneath his notice.
He can gamble enthusiastically enough.
He can eat supper and swallow cham
payne until the marvel is that he still
lives. He can get up early TO 20 racing,
and sit up late drinking innumerable
WHISTLES and sodas He can run after
popular actresses and ride in steeple-
chases. but dancing is altogether beyond
him-at present.
But depend upon it, the tide will turn
and the fashion will change. Dancing is
not pastime that will ever entirely die
out IL has lasted too long in various
forms. and the poses of silly young men
cannot kill IL. They will never yawn IL
into the limbo of things forgotten. and, If
they did they would probably be the first
10 regret it, For balls have attractions
for them. and they go TO them, though
often not to dance. They go 10 sup. and
occasionally to ilirt, for sitting OUT is
very popular pastime, and many people
I'LL I'D their cards with the names of part
ners pledged 10 sit out with them and TO
do nothing else. In quiet hooks and cor
ners of a pretty house you will always md
young people ensconced, whether the band
is playing valse or whether IL Is not.
They are probably talking the merest
nonsense, but what does that matter"
They are enJoyinS themselves. and enjoy
ne mt is our main object in going TO an en-
treatment. Only the cotillon lures them
on TO the parqpet, FOR they IRE far too
modern TO wish TO miss the chance Of a
pretty present. We are nothing now
