Modern Society.

Ultra fashionable society, that class
that patronizes fads and those
circles who imagine they are ex-
elusive. but with whom plain, honest
people have no burning to associate and
who IRE not envious Of their Social
5trlumphs," were scathingly arraigned
the other evening by a Cleveland min
ister. who took occasion at the time to
euiogize true American motherhood.
This pulpit critic maintains that the
society queen who all pure men admire
4 does not drink wines and liquors when
she gives receptions: she refuses to In
vite to her home men and women who
treat lightly the marriage bond: she
does not gamble at cards for. society
event prizes: but she cleaves to her
2 husband and realizes that the appear
ance OF evil Is easily taken as the EVIL
dence OF evil and she therefore Is not
. constantly making engagements with
men other than her husband for recep-
tons. box parties, and theatres and
Z thus laying herself liable to scandal.
This Is true Of social conditions In
every city. and Is general application.
The fast set" In every community Is
I naturally the hotbed OF scandal. and In
tnssocIating with them many an honest
woman's name has been badly scorch-
: ed. 1t Is the boldness and the thirst
Z for public notoriety that attracts spe-
N lal attention to this class. and many
pure women have suffered from the
contact. You can't touch pitch with
GU. becoming deilled TO some degree.
These rapid" votarles OF fashion are
more clearly deHnded by letter of
4 Mayor Farley, OF Cleveland. which the
minister read previous to his sermon.
