has been devoting jtsolf to marriages this
week, There have been a number OF
| lunoheons, card parties and small recep.i
TONS but for tho most part the social set
has been quiet. That means. no doubt,
that most Of the social debts hnyo been
discharged, and that tho majority Of the
holiday visitors have returned to their
| homes.
Debts may be considered harsh or
| at least an unaesthetio word to apply to
tho social obligations which one member
| OF tho social syndicate acknowledges as
due to another. but the accounts arc kept
| In the same manner and dis charRed with
| aren moro scrupulous accuracy than men
| discharge financial obligations. The one
radical difference In tho two ldnds Of
| debts Is that the financial dobt Is ore
ated at tho request OF the debtor, who
asks for the favor, while the social debt
ia created at the request Of the creditor.
who extends the hospitality OF his roof
and OF his table-both Of which arc under
the supreme control Of the wife or the
dalghter-to tho person selected as ser
| v.ceable debtor.

thess plain commercial terms, OF course,
| but the result Is the same, despite the
embroidery OF the pretty words the ladies
| arrange, neatly and tastefully, about
these social transactions.
| Tho satisfaction that woman displays,
| the keen zest with which she turns to
| Lent or to house-ceaning in the early
| spring, Is sure indication that her So
| clal debts have been paid and that she
hos acquired new or a larger list OF
1 Gnbtors with whom to open tho next sea-
son, when she will have friend or
daughter to pull or to push into the social
| swim.
