The secret success In society Is a
certain heartiness and sympathy. A
man who is not happy in company
cannot find any word In his memory
that will fit the occasion. All his
information is a little impertinent. A
man who Is happy there finds in every
turn of the conversation occasion for
the introduction of what he has TO
saw The favorites Of society are able
men, and of more spirit than wit, VINO
have no uncomfortable spirit Of ego
tIsm. but who exactly flll the hours
and company contented and content
ing. Society is still awake and while
the social sea has not shown many
ripples. 1t is far from being quiet.
Every day since the Lenten season has
begun. something delightful has been
listed on the calendar of society and
kept the weeks from being entirely
dull. Shakespeare has said that So
cietv is no comfort to one not sociable'
and the years have proven that. There
are a few unfortunate and disgruntl-
ed people in every community, who
are self appointed to reform society
and are ever on the alert to detect
flaws in every social set and some-
times they find them. These people
saw they "hate society" dislike any
sort Of gathering where the sexes
meet on terms of equality; are blind
to the good efforts that society has
upon every city or town; call every
woman who attends a tea, or plays
cards a butterfly" abhors dancing
and are ignorant Of the fact that good
society is a better refiner OF nature
than ordinary books. But we are
very thankful that there are very few
Of these people in Fargo. While the
town is made up Of countless cliques
and sets, they have the best and mer-
riest kind of times because eacn cote
rie is congenial and after all more
solid enjoyment can be found among
good friends who understand each
other and among different acquain-
tances.
