SoCiETY-MADNESS.

We are not content to leave much
to Nature nowadays. If we were, per,
haps we would get along better than
we do and with fewer worries to make
us grow old before our time, says the
Charleston News and Courier. Phila
delphia just at present is being held
up before the eyes of the country as a
horrible example. Some industrious
statistician, seeking light or perhaps
seeking coin, has undertaken to ascer-
tain the effects of social activity in
that city upon those who take part
in it, He has discovered that the
season which is just now drawing to
close has very nearly sent some of
the society leaders to their graves.
He has unearthed the fact that of the
women who have been in the main
responsible for what is declared to
be the most strenuous social season
in the history of the city of Quakers
several are now in state of utter
collapse as direct result of the
strain to which they have been sub
jected. This is interesting, but why
get alarmed? Social leaders of this
sort can very well be spared If they
are taken away from us they never
will be missed. Why not let Nature
have her way and inflict what punish
ment she deems fit on those who have
not intelligence enough to take care
of themselves?

The Least He Miuht Do.

Little Faith was possessed of most
friendly disposition, but had not yet
reached the age where she could un-
derstand the silence that may wrap
itself around wordless intimacy. In
fact, she demanded speech, frequent

One night her brother was studying
most assidnously his arithmetic lesson,
and after calling to him several times
without receiving an answer, she ap-
pcaed to her father.
