HINTS TO THE SOCIAL AsPIRANTs.


Those who are socially ambitious might
score a point by noticing that IL Is "A dis
tinct advantage TO do one thing well, es-
pecially II il happens to be some game or
sport which for the moment has a decid-
ed vogue.
Even If they cannot excel. by taking
up the newest fad among the first enthu-
sias SITS they acquire a certain position. "A
pretty widow, whom nobody knew, rent
ed a cottage this summer in a smart and
exclusive neighborhood. She was ex
ceedingly ladylike in her appearance, and
the appointments of her household so far
as could be judged by her equipages, dress
and demeanor. were unexceptionable.
Still. no one happened to know her. and
consequently no one visited her. Just
about this time the craze for bridge
whist seized it's votaries, and the aristo-
cratic little watering place. which always
took up with enthusiasm everything that
was fashionable, started class, and got
Mr. - the famous teacher to come 10
them for a fortnight's lessons, his en-
gagements not permitting him 10 stay
longer.
He arrived, and the first thing he asked
for was that Mrs. ", the interesting
little widow. should be invited to join the
class.

thing would be 10 call, invite her to a

the women of Summer Beach. like all
converts. became enthusiastic over their
new acquisition. who, outside of her su-
periority as a bridge whist player, was
clever enough to seize her opportunity.
No party was complete without her. and
before the season was over she was an
acknowledged member of one of the most
exclusive sets of Summer Beach.
