NOT A BUSY WEEK
 IN SOCIETY WORLD

A close call this week for the socle- ty column! We came very near sing ing our swan-song. And that reminds us-do you know the pretty legend ot the dying swan singing his last song Tears ago 1 remember seeing In a juvenile book, picture Of swan and a child at its mothers knee ask ing to have the picture explained.
 What is that mother?
 "The Swan, my love; He is floating down from his native
 grove;
 No loved one now, no nestling nigh; He is floating down by himself to die. Death darkenes his eye and unplumes
 his wings,
 Yet the sweetest song is the last he
 sings.
 Live so my child, that when death
 shall come
 Swan-like and sweet it may wait thee
 home."
 Do you suffer from the climate ?"
 "Yes. 1 have a friend visiting me from California who refuses to talk about anything else"

Women Not So Incompetent

Heard painful assertion the other day. A prominent business man wanted the Woman's Club to take up some new venture and suggested it be done that day. "But no," said he "it couldn't be done today--you'd have to meet and talk it over, then appoint a committee to investigate and they'd have to run home and do up a shirt waist or two and by that time it would be to late" That's a good one on us surely but wait-what do the men do when some important measure comes up for consideration?

Famous Easter Resort

If we can't go to Atlantic City for Easter lets hear what is said about that famous resort. Easter Sunday is the great day of the year there. Every room in town is engaged months ahead and the line of humani- ty is so dense on the Boardwalk that one must creep along at snail's pace. The claim is that 12,000,0O0 people go to Atlantic City each year. The place is unique for it holds the combina- tion of sun, sea and air and the amazing line of hotels, shops, places of amusement and the densely packed crowds.
 Surely treat for millions with millions.

House Cleaning and Sentiment

Some one has said Have nothing in your house which you do not be- lieve to be beautiful or know to be useful"
 Apropos to housekeeping that phrase comes to mind, but oh, the sentiment that attaches itself to a cracked dish or favorite roll of wall paper but after the first sorrow of parting with these white elephants about the home, they will go un- mourned.
 It is often a menace to the happi- ness of the household not to discard these old useless things. Why not be a militant and smash them!
