LEAP YEAR HOP.
Brilliant Social Event Marks Commencement of Reign of
 Newport Belles.

IIlo SIlduOWS cdSI Dy great events, of which much has been written by every sweet girl graduate upon each succeeding commencement, is perhaps best illustrated in the suspense and expectancy of the long, dragging years, which precede that in which womanhood leaps into rights that she graces with a loveliness and ease, as does chiv- airy the knight unto the manor born. ]" With the advent of 1904 came those preparations and added interest which proximate to realization of anticipations grown old, always fosters. Ex- pectation waxed keen in prom ised pleasures with each day that brought nearer leap year hop. Nor were our merry Newport maids alone in this pre-enjoy- ment of the event in store, for men wondered what would be their fate, when they must sit demure and let these usurpers of their rights, ask them their company, ask them to dance. Quite naturally did their anxiety grow.
 But all has ended happily. The brilliant social triumph of our ap year queens, in ushering in cir reign, leaves no rebellious In, with either disposition or Ter to question their suprem- N lthroughout the days of 1904. lat model beaux, what gallant, erous lords do come from Qe womanhood. As the
 sh bard has said: ''The z y of mercy is not strained. Ic oppeth as the gentle dew from heaven upon the place be- heath; it is twice blessed; it blesseth him that gives, and him that takes. Iris mightest in the mightiest; it becomes the throned monarch better than his crown. " The magnanimity of the givers of this captivating affair has made men willing to change the DId time-worn calendar and de- clare for new, in which the leap year shall predominate, even Though Old Sol himself look own with indignation upon an Ire and race in which startling hovations strike a popular lord.
