I'VE HAVE BEEN TOO HAPpyp


 Vienna has been one- -steppine, and fox trotting with a sort of madness and abandon. Social affairs among the aristocracy have been as numer- ous and as brilliant as of old. The women still vie with one another in elaborate toiIettes. Some appear in gowns costing not less than SO.OO0 crowns
 The old nobility, however, avoids the appearance of taking any pIea- sure in these affairs. The idea is to foster the impression that only the schieber Cwar profiteer) Is having 2 good time. If you discuss the situa- tion with an aristocrat. he will bewail the fact that he has had to give up his opera subscription and discharge most of his servants because of their scarcity and his inability to pay them.
 Life was once so wonderful here" he groans, "so carefree and easv- going Theaters, concerts were all moderate priced. You could eniov yourself and it cost almost nothinp All the young girls-even those Of the petite bourgeoisie-rode horseback. There was plenty to eat and of tbe best quality. We were too happy" That rather mean spirited wall expresses the situation exactly rTbs Austrian's trouble was that he had been too happy for too long a time; and now he eXclaims, Poor Austria" but does not want to give up any of his comforts .-Henriette Celarie in Revue des Deux Mondes, Paris.

AN EDITOR in TROUBLE

The st. Joseph, La, rosebuds have
been up in arms against the editor OF
TIE st. Joseph Gazette-all due to a
little Observation-Disclosures the a.
mende honorable has been vouchsat-
ed. But possibly it would be better
to let the editor make the explanation
which is thus set forth under the cap
ton "An Apology" in this weeks Is
sue of the Gazettei
"The rosebud set Of st. Joseph So
ciety called on the Gazette in body
this week and read the riot act to us
for having enormously published the
name of their society in our last IS
sue. They emphatically deny that the
name of their society is "Heartbreak,,
ing Shimmy- Shaking Jelly Bean, and
because it was so termed in print they
said mammas made their daughters
resign membership. The coming SUI
fragists stated, we just said it was
named that as a joke, not dreaming
that you were going to stick it in
your old paper, which you had no
business doing, and we don't like 1t a
bit. That is not the name Of our So
ciety, but we can't tell you the name
because It is secret that nobody. but
members know, but II certainly isn'l
that horrible name that you published
lust because we said 1t in fun, anc
which now everybody is laughing al
from Tallulah to Vidalia. Guess you
think you are awfully cute, but We
don't and we don't like you any more
either. If that isn't telling it to Vi
strong we don't know what it is. Ths
Gazette published the name Of the so
ciety as given US. absolutely withou
any thought of being cute, and If wv
committed blunder, we can bu
humbly apologize to the little ladies
We are willing to call their society
by any name they may select. wheth
or Heart Breakers or 'Blue-Eyed ba
bies,' or anything else, but have NJ
way of determining when the mem
bers are serious and when they ar
ioking when giving out the name; o
their society. So in view of the lat
ter intelligence we take pleasure i
announcing that we were in error las
week in calling the rosebud societ
aThe Heart Breaking, Shimmy-Shak
ing Jelly Beans" Just what the sc
ciety's real name is we do not kno'
