A year ago gay young girls and debu' tantes figured prominently in society at the national capital. Society was lively. as girls understood liveliness, but it's pace was so galloping that before Lent arrived ing the Washington dancing, calling, dlil- Ing and tea drinking had to retire for rest. Even some of the rosebuds who were the moving spirit of the show broke down un- der the pace they themselves had set. Several before the season was half over looked like three days old buds from a florists shop.
 This winter is different. The social gall Top is quieter and more dignihed. This is owing largely to the character of the matrons and maids who are the social leaders,

The Growth of a. Metropolis.

New York today is gradually being metamorphosed. Dwellings costing from S20.0O0 to $50.O0O have been razed to the ground, and apartment houses, churches, stores. buildings of all sorts, are being demolished to make room for the city's two great terminal stations. In all some thing like $5,OOO.OOO worth of buildings have been torn down. Besides the new terminals, other changes of great inn portance are in prospect throughout the metropolitan district: the beginning of d handsome residential section along River side Drive; the tunnels that are to unite Long Island and New Jersey with Man haitian; the replacing of the Ghetto with bouievards and parks. These changes, which will make New York a different city within the next decade are interest ingly described in an article by F'reder- ick Boyd Stevenson in the current Har- per's Weekly.

rhe pauehter of a Magnate.

By Frank Fl. Spearman
 This great railroad romance holds the readers intense interest with each page. It has the rapidity and rush of action of A monster locomotive. It has the finish of syle, the aptness of appointment in word and phrase that is as complete as are the appointments of the palace car in which Mir. Spearman's characters sweep over desert and plain, and climb tbe mountains of our Western ranges.
 The group of railroad men and railroad makers of the West: Vice-President Bucks, Morris Blood, the young Southern CT Glover. and the rest, are drawn to the life.

What She Remembered About Them. A great many anecdotes are told about the late Mrs. John Sherwood, who was famous among her friends as one of tho
 most kindly and delightful of women. and among the public as the author of that standard manual of etiquette, Man ners and Social Usages. Among them is the following, which has heretofore evad- ed print Several years ago Mrs. Sher- wood was visiting friend who had two young lady nieces living in the neigh borhood. These nieces had often heard of Mrs Sherwood. the grande dame of many functions, the intellectual compan- ion of the great, the accomplished and fcted traveller. and they hoped, IS they were just out of college, to make upon her that impression of intelligence and culture to which tIe high-minded young woman aspires. Accordingly they rode over. to their aunt's daily upon the most graceful of wheels, in the most correct bicycle costumes. and conversed serious ly and Intellectually with Mrs. Sherwood, who was all patience and courtesy. Mrs. Sherwood's visit ended and she departed, sending back the customary letter of ap- preciation to her hostess. The nieces ar rived simultaneously with the letter.
