Defiaition Of Society.

The Circuit Rider, State church
paper, has published cateehism on
Society" IN q recent Issue. TIE arti-
ole is interesting in that it presents q
unique idea Of the way society is look
ed upon and understood in como cir
cies. So-ealled "sooiety people" will
DO entertained BY perusal Of che cat
echism which reads as follows:
Q. What is society2
A. A union Of fashionable beings
united for the purpose Of pleasure,
maintaining caste aud upholding fash
ion.
Q. What's the admission fee2
A. Money and manners.
Q. What are among the character
is.ics Of society.
A. The jig and jug, punch and po-
ker.
Q. Does society prevail in South
Carolina?
A. No; but it is coming. Whatever
breaks out up North, comes South in
course of time. There. are s;rong
symptoms Of it in Spartanburg, Green
vile and other large towns, and also
in Rock Hill, Chester and others.
q. Which is the bigger institution
where society prevails, the society or
the church.
A. Society.
Q. Why.
A. Because society folks can trans
gress laws Of the church with their
fun and frolics with impuuity; not a
hair Of their immoral heads will be
touched; but if the laws of society are
violated, ostraoism is the result.
q. How is day divided in society?
A. Into morning and evening.
Q. There is NO night there, then?
A. No; the word night would inter-
fere with the sense Of the term of
fashion, Evening" For instance,
it would offend the ear Of society to
say: s.Mr. Brockton appeared at the
ball in full night dress." It would
be all right. you see, to say "he ap-
peared in full evening dress.'
@. Is punctuality a rule in sosiety?
A. 0, no. Il is fashionable to be
g little late at society gatherings. 1t
is unpopular to be in q hurry, son
rush" and is considered vulgar to
be in haste.
