All tbincs must have an end , includinc
Summer vacations , but like the poetical babbling -
. bling brook , seasons come nnd seasons go , 1
but social life , fashionable doings , In a word
society , " goes ou forever. Buds appear ou
tbe scene and disapi > ear , belles become nice ,
pious , charitable maiden ladles , voung bloods
ftbout town become bald-headed smirking
old bachelors or portly nnd plethoric papas ,
but the social whirligig of gayety and giddi
ness of fads anu folderols-of merry-making
and marrying goes right along without Inter
ruption , always coming up to the scratch
smiling. H is never "kocked out. " Critics
sneer and preachers philo > opuize over social
frivolities and social eccentricities , but ever }
Jresh generation coming upon tne scene ap
pears to take up tbo nboous where the one
going o&lore dropped 'hern , and tbe
chariot of pleasure goes whizzing
on in tbe same old beaten
track. Althougn the summer outing is not
entirely ended , its interest is dimmed , nnd
While the greater number of fashionable people
ple will keep out of town a month or two
Joncer , roost ot them in easy access of tbe
ty , from tbis time forth tnesomewnat un
conventional Ufa acd episodes of tbo summer
bolcl will take a subordinate position , and
everv day and week the fashionable mind
xvill bo more arid more concentrated upon
iiic moro formal and ceremonious doings mat
go U > make up the ever attractive chapter ef
aodal lifo in a great city. Many of tno o
Vitia arc returning nave roallzea their ideals
in tbe coursi ! of thdr summer outing. Tbey
jtcl that they return new men ana women ,
and for them It bas been truly a rtttreauon.
Others are not so fortunate , and the
lollies , excesses aud sometimes tha dissipa
tions ot tbe summer find tueSn worse oil in
many respects than thcv tvern before. Of
course it is for the women that tbe sensa
tional and somewhat tbealrirsal and very ar
tificial life of tbo summer bowl has tbe
greatest attractions , ttaougb even , the most
romantic of Eve's daughters will in candid
moments fcometiires admit that gay summer
life li > rather disappointing. As for tbo men ,
especially tbe paterfamilias , tbo man wbo
was often bored aud notv bas to pay the bills ,
one of the most frequently reiterated ot sen
timents Is "glad to get back , " or "tbe city is
good enough lor me. "

A Shakespeare luncheon is something of a
novelty. At one rccentlv on the menu cards
each dish was appropriately garnibed with
a quotation from the 'imn.ortal William , "
and the favors were pretty sketches , cie
cutea by tbeyoune hostess , of various well
known views about Stratford-on-Avon. In
addition each euest was asuea to indicate
about her toilet in some way the title of oce
of the oara's plays. One woman wore on her
corsuce two small pictures , each of a man ,
and beneath a bit of ribtioa with a larce "A"
surmounted with th < j letters "V. E. R. . " to
be translated "Two Geatleraen of Verona. "
Another , quickly guc&sed bad a full page pe
riodical iliuslrauot. of a "Tempest" neaily
fitted as agtrdlo across the front of ncrwaltt
and belt. A third most created much merri
ment with a pea and ink sketch which wss
attached to her chatelaine. It represented a
dog and cat enjoyinir a meal of boues witn
great sall'-ficUou. Beneath pussy was the
legend "This is Julia , " which wat all the
clue the wearer would rive. A clever girl
finally shouted , "Komeo and Julia eat , " and
the mystery was solved.

woric done by toe club , under Mrs. W. H.
Haochett's direction , is c > no means super
ficial or desultory , but whatever Is taken UP
for study is pursued with a vital interest
whlca cannot help but prove beneficial to
those who are now its members. List year
the club studied Frencb history and not having -
ing completed tns cour e will again take UP
that most interesting subject , devoting con
siderable time to tbe French revolution and
finismng with acimparativostudy of French
and English histories. Mrs. Hanchett is an
enthusiast in tbis work and willingly gives
the time it takes to prepare the subjects , be
lieving that there are many bright women
who would rather spend an hour iti senous
studv tban fritter it away over tbe idle noth
ings that'ofttimes ar alscusted among tbe
fair sex. As a teacher she bas been signally
successful and tbe two chapters over which
she presides are doing a substantial work
