,ts dull times. There are times When
there is nothing doing in the social CIR
cles as there are dull times In business
Business and society are not governed
by the Same rules or customs. because
women govern one and men govern the
other. But there is much similarity De-
tween the phenomena Of business and OF
society because tnere Is much similar
ity between men and women, although
mother will admit the charge.
Men exchange trade among the men
they know and with whom they have
personal relations of friendship and
amity. They will not deal with their
enemies. Even IL they have an idea
that they may obtain commercial or
on industrial advantage they still pre-
fer to deal only with their friends. They
prefer to have their business correspon-
dents, even Of distant Glitter. conduct all
Of their business affairs thru gh the
rather than attempt even to obtain
more advantageous connection Of their
own.
1t is the same in society. No woman
ever cares to introduce an eligible bach
elor or coy maiden, who is getting on,
outside of her own set. She has ar
ranged match inside of her set to meet
her ideas of what both the maid and the
bachelor should do, and she doesn't wish
| that arrangement disturbed by some one
who doesn't appreciate the devotion with
which she has studied the conditions and
| prepared for the denoemcnt.
DULL WEEK.
This week in Norfolk has been dull
In society, but there has been something
doing all the same There have not been
any great events. but there have been
card parties. luncheons, so-called quiet
evenings" where there were not enough
, girls to scare timid bachelor nor
, enough bachelors to prevent a fascinat-
| ing girl from determining which one
was really worth while.
| 1t is these apparently unstudicd and
+; impromptu meetings which are the most
| effective factors of society. The other
affairs-the functions-are the show oc-
i casons. in which nothing is done. but
where everything is seen. Every wo-
man learns. at these great affairs, the
I. stock trade, the force or the value Of
every other womans display The dis
/. play may be her own diamonds. some
eligible bachelor, who is attached to her
! family; or, more captivating and In
valuable still than men or Jewels. the
sweet young girl that she proposes to
Introduce into society as the prospective
wife Of the man who may be fortunate
enough to secure beauty, who is to be
a joy forever.
