Athetiian Society.

Athenian society is divided into sets,
as it is everywhere; first the court set,
made up of the higher officials, the
members of the diplomatic corps,
officers of the army and navy, rich
residents, both foreign and native,
who entertain extensively and others
who are honored with personal ac-
quaintance with the royal family. This
set is more or less exclusive, and in
cludes only small fraction of those
who are entitled to invitations to
court functions. The kings balls and
receptions are very much like these
at the White House in Washington
and people with shabby clothes and
muddy boots are often present, Le-
cause their political influence if not
their social position entities them to
yitations.-Chicago Record Herald.
