Patriotism has led number OF Seatfie's
young society men TO enlist in the local
volunteer companies The war against
Spain has been common subject
of discussion In gatherings of So
ciety people From the lips OF deli
cate women fail expressions Of the most
intense belligerency. Their love of eoun-
try has been exhibited in many ways. and
their ideas Of heroes and manlness freely
expressed In the presence OF male admir-
ers has had effect In stimulating 10 double
ardor the enthusiasm OF the men. At A
recent dance In this city. one of the guests
was cadet on vacation from an Eastern
college He attended IN full cadet uni
form. and by many OF the women was
mistaken for an officer of the United
States regular army. Contrary to es-
fablshed precedent. the young mans
brass buttons did not seem TO be badges
OF popularity. The cause OF their failure
to attract approval was voiced by girl
who said "1hat officer should be with
his company preparing TO march TO the
front. instead OF wasting his time on danc-
Ing parties"
In the current number Of the Atlantic
Monthly the question Is raised as 10 the
