The departure of young men and maidens , singly , In pairs , or in parties , for Feats of le'arnlng lo the eastward. Is always a significant feature of the early fall. For a period longer or shorter they are like the flowers that bloom in the spring , or HID summer , making glad and gay their home postures during thr > vacation term. And their dlnappi-Efanrc with the passing of the other nppurlennnrrs uf Ihf summer leaves nn appreciable vacancy behind.

A Romcwhat unsnal number of weddings nnd crlcbrallons of golden and sliver anni versaries is noticeable In the chronicle of the week's events. Tim gold and the silver nro not precisely In thn prounrUnn dd n milled by agitators for free rolling" , but Iho nutnerlr.il balance Is on the proper and Inevitable side at any rate. After all , there Is no time like thu middle fall for mar riage. Those who have brrn wedded nt other Reasons will hardly endorse HO radi cal a. statement , but they will be hard put to Justify their opposition. The heal ot summer , the chill of January , nrc draw backs to the completrst felicity In marriage ceremonials. Much , to be sure , might be said In favor of the later spring for this joyous purpose the young man's fancy , as Is well known , beginning with the vernal equinox to turn to thoughts of love. But there Is a special fitness about a brown October day when n tang of the first frost Is In the air and the painted leaves are strewing tin * withered grass , for the formal uniting of two hearts \vho. e > pulses are Inevitably quickened by the Invigorating atmosphere. October brings no enervating dews , no nlrs too hot or cold. It stimulates heart nnd brain and physical vigor with her spicy breath. H Is an Ideal month for marrying and giving In marriage. A local sheet of hebdomadal IESUO , which devotes Its energies largely to th > > cr-lcbrallon of events In social circles and may there fore be presumed to speak with unquestioned authority on points peculiarly Within Its range has uncompromisingly declared against the further designation ot any branch of society as "the smart set. " Now , to be Biire , the pbraEo Is a distasteful one , al though It Is difficult to find a reasonable ground for objecting to It. "Set" Is a good word In this connection ; and "fimart , " as defined by lexicographers ot good standing. Is found to signify , among other things , " " " " "brilliant " adjectives "cfflclent. "rigorous , , tives which sound very well as applied to society. Nevertheless , the flat having gone forth , there la .nothing for it but obedience , and the designation "fashionable circles" Is still within reach. llonii * Coming or tlio Cunrilx.

The funeral' services over the remains o the late A. J. I'oppleton were held nt the family residence , on Sherman avenue , at Z o'clock yesterday afternoon. They were o a character especially appropriate to chrou Iclo the ending of a llfo of marked actlvlt > and usefulness. All men must die and cus tom has decreed that each should be laid at rest before the saddened faces of those who had known and loved them. Hut few arc honored by such a concourse of the best citizenship of their state as gathered at the I'oppleton residence yesterday to pay their final tribute of respect to ono ot their most honored colleagues. Among the throng that filled the s | > aclour rooms was numbered nearly every man ol prominence in the public and social circles of the city. With these were mingled others less prominently known , but equally sincere In their regret at the loss of a valued friend , The larRo rooms on the lower floor were all seated to their full capacity and the wide perch that traverses the entire front ot the building was occupied by those who were unable to sain admittance to the Interior. A distinctive feature of the arrangements was the exceptional taste that marked the distribution of the floral olTerliiKs. There was none of the profuse and promiscuous heaping of heavy designs that so often Is wearily monotonous on similar occasions The atmosphere was fragrant , not heavy , with the p.'tfume of clusters of rare blos soms , striking for their beauty rather than tlielr elaborate design. The magnificent cr.slcet that occupied tie center of the 31 ut'i parlor wa-i simply ndoine-1 with two or three choice clusters of roses. The mantel bore simple bunches of roses , ferns and white carnations. Then every room In the house was similarly favored , There were ( lowers In profusion , but they were so distributed that the bloom of each cluster had a corner of Its own. There were clusters of pink and white roses and sprays of fern back of per fect bunehcs of white carnations , scattered nil over the building , so that their beauty was everywhere sensible and nowhere too prominent. Hefore 2 o'clock the casket was uncovered and those who wished to see the face that would bo but a memory thereafter passed through. Then the lid was closed and not opened again. Shortly after 3 o'clock the brief , but solemnly Impressive services wire held. Hev. A. II. Sherlll , the former pastor of the Plist Congregational church , delivered a short discourse In which he spoke elo quently of the victory of death and earnestly of the sympathy that belonged to the sorrowing rowing in their bereavement. The music was admirably rendered by the choir of Trinity cathedral. At the close of the services a long line of carriages followed tl e remains to their final home In Prospect III11 cemetery. lion.
