SOCIETY LEADERS MOVING
BY DlEDRlcH kNlckeRsockER.

New York. May 1.-The exodus to Europe has begun, and the steamer wharves are beginning to look very gay on sailing days. It may not be exclusive or fashionable to go and see ones friends off for Europe, and yet the man or woman who sails without group of lntimates to say farewell seems to be Just a little out of 1t. In consequence the usual scenes may be witnessed at the departure of any one of the fashionable liners, and 1t Is amusing to see the number of not very intimate friends who also find 1t convent ent to go down and say goodby and have their names added to the list of those who are on close terms with the rich and great All of which Is trival, but counts in the long run. It Is quite q fad now to run over to Paris or London for four or six weeks, not to say to lay in stock of smart clothes, for, of course, nobody buys clothes abroad any more; or, if Europe Is out of the question: to go to Washington or some place near home for two or three days at a time Even short stop at Virginia Hot Springs seems to be attractive, although at one time it was feared that the rush of brides and bridegrooms there might make the place just little dull

vanderblIts Bound for Home.

MT. and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt are bound for home by slow stages. They will hardly reach here before June. Mrs. Vanderbilt Is to do a great deal of enter taining this year. It will be a Cornelius season at Newport. The Alfreds are going to live very quietly and will devote them- selves to their farm, and the Reggies are not to be very active in society. Mrs. Vanderbilt and her daughter Gladys sail this week for Europe. Some say that they will return and open the Breakers. and other that they may be gone a long time. It all depends on conditions. Mrs. Vanderbilt and her daughter-in-law have practically made it up, so there is an end of one of the great Newport and New York feuds. But the Vanderbilt families per SC are divided up Into little sets. The majority of them are abroad at present With the George Vanderbilts in France, the William K. Vanderbilts in the same country. the Freds in England and the Shepards. Sloans and others also on the other side, there are not many represen- tatives left-and that Is the reason, per- haps, why the Corneliuses are hurrying home.

REFLECTIONS ON KISSING
:.:.:.,::.s.:.:.,.:.s.:.:.:.:..:.:.;.:.:.:
BY ALFRED SETON.

The advent of spring, the soft and stealthy approach of warm weather throughout the country, brings with 1t a number of interesting items, which prove that the late Alfred Tennyson knew his business, when he wrote that Tn the spring young mans fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love- Had Tennyson en- joyed the boon to be born in America, he might have added that the fancies of young men here advance rapidly from the metaphysical to the physical stage, and tend more and more to become overt acts of solid, substantial. reterative oscu- lation.
 Especially in Kentucky. "A Kentuck- ian says an Ohio paper-and here let me interpolate that they do lay off all manner of good things on the brave anf brawny scions of old Kentucky, sah-"has been fined $25 for kissing piri once. Several months before anot,.er one was fined $10 for kissing a F.1 three times. By studying these experiments we may discover just hea often it is necessary to kiss Kentucky girl without mourning the displeasure of the law To this l would reply that any man who wouldn't i. kiss a real, ripe Blue Grass belle, under correct conditions, of course, more than thrice, ought to be fined thrice S25, or sent up for at least thirty days into a prohibit tion penitentiary.
 Another Point Raised.
 But point of vaster importance Is raised by the action of certain elders of a Pennsylvana Sunday School, who an- nounce that at the annual pinic soon to be held, no kissing bees will be allowed as heretofore. Honey of the lips Is bar red from the list of refreshments. The game particularly mathematical by these elders Is Copenhagen, an invention flor indiscriminate, Utahan oscuation. which might have cheered the soul of the Melancholy Dane, had 1t been current in Hamlets day, and saved him from his gloomy reveries of suicide, matricide and avunculide; since kissing Is the best germicide In the world for misery mi- crobes. Other games too come under this a elderly ban, such as postoffice, which al- lows the rural swain to announce as many letters for the object of his admiration as he has kisses concealed in the warm storage battery of his lips; and then the fair she takes his place outside the circle or behind the door and announces her letters for the boy she prefers. remember once, when l was about six timidly announced two letters for a big, bouncing girl of twelve whom l hugely admired She was engaged in eating peach at the time and when she smack ed with me smeared my mouth all over with peach juice I was too chivalrous a young Kentuckian to wipe it off and ' walked round patiently till the peach juice Y dried on; but this is a Aggression.
 What I wish to inquire at present is whether such an elderly injunction against picnic kissing may not have the effect of driving boys and girls out of that par ticular fold Into the embrace of other denominations, where osculation In the

From the Washington Times.
 tree dedicated to the late Senator Hanna has been planted in the Botanic Gardens. It was put there by Senator Dick at the special invitation of William R. Smith, superintendent of the gardens.
 The latter is a great admirer of the late Senator, and in the latter's lifetime had promised that the tree would be planted Accompanied by Elmer Dover, Senator Dick went to the garden and wielded the pick and shovel himself.
 After the Hanna tree had been planted Superintendent Smith called on Senator Dick to plant one for himself. It Is un- derstood that the trees represent famous men. and for this reason Senator Dick, with natural modesty demurred. The canny Scot. however. said:
 "Oh, we'll 1t will be monny a dae ere the tree Is ping enou' to attract atten- tion."
 The Senator Dick tree was planted.

Twomblys Depart.

Mir and Mrs. Hamilton Mex. Twombly and their family have started off for San Francisco and various points west In a private car, and in consequence Madison and Morristown, N. J., are not so gay as usual at this time of the year; but a- though the Twomblys take a very prom nent part In entertaining there Norris town especially Is large place, and there are many people of wealth and position who are already settled in their houses for the summer-that Is, for the early summer, for, of course, everybody who has country place goes away in July or August. Much Is going on at Morris town in the way of dinners and card parties, with a few dances for the young people.
 The Mills girls are however, anticipat- ing very gay late spring. They have invitations to several large country houses and are also to be entertained much in London town. Young Ogden Mills remains in poor health. He has never recuperated from his illness of last winter and his family are little anxi- ous about him.

He said that the town has grown over double in the past twelve years, and the citizens will try to repeat the trick in the next ten.

NEW HIGH RECORDS ARE ESTABLISHED Associated Bank Statement is
 Gratifying DEPOSITS ARE INCREASED Loans Are Expanded s21 ,se3, 200, Re- flecting as In Previous Weeks
 Extensive Corporation and
 Syndicate Borrowing.

New York, May 7.-The Financier says this week;
 The striking features of the statement of the New York associated banks last week were still high and most remarka- ble records for loans and deposits; also an unusually large reduction in surplus reserves Loans were expanded $21, ,Ss3, ,20O, rehecting as in previous weeks extensive corporation and syndicate borrowings. The cash holdings of these banks were reduced $60SS,S0O which reduction closely corresponds with the average losses re- sulting from the movement of gold to Europe during the fortnight and the large average of the amount of Japanese gold which was transferred hither from San Francisco last week.
 Deposits were increased by $l7345, ,0O0 which amount is g, 035, 600 greater than the sum of the increase in loans, less the de- crease in cash. consequently the state ment does not balance The required re- serve was augmented through the in- crease in deporits by $4 336, ,25O, which sum added to the loss of cash. makes $lO 42o'050 IS the decrease in surplus re- serve to $22,724,200 Computed upon the basis of deposits, less those of $55,057, 4OO public funds, the surplus is s36 74S, ,550.
 On Declining Averages.
 The statement was made on declining averages for cash, the withdrawal of s4,5O0,O0O gold Friday for shipment to Paris on Saturday counting in the return for only one-sixth of the amount. The average daily clearings were s216,OO0000, or $53,0O0, 900 greater than in the previous week, refiecting operations incident to the expansion of loans; ciearlngs on Sat urday representing Fridays business were s20O, ,47OS96. It may be noted that that portion of the Panama money which was withdrawn from the depository banks throughout the country under the treasury call of March 3. will be turned over to the sub-treasury on Monday, through payment by the government of $40.00o000 on account of the Panama canal.
 By Bookkeeping Operation.
 This however, will propaoly not direct ly affect the s32000,OO0 of public funds in the ten specially designated Repositories for the transfer will most likely be con- ducted by a bokkeeping operation. The treasury call for $12.0O0,0oo which was is- sued last week will mature on Monday of this week but the withdrawals in re- sponse to this call will be paid into sub treasury and the statement of this week may be expected to show a reduction in government deposits as a result of this call.
 It would seem qcye, possible that the large increase of s2,O36.6oO in bank de- posits ,o--r the sum of the augmented .oans. less the loss of cash shown by last weeks statement was due to remit tances to New York correspondents by some of the interior institutions of their quota of public funds, represented by the sub treasury call. Comparisons of loans show that five banks gained s16, 0o0.- 900 net during the weex. Changes in cash indicate that four banks lost s4,OO0,- 0O0 net
