Not for years. If avsr beforn, haa there been tha continued series of brilliant aff ilri that have marked this winter's social nel son. They have not only been mors nu merous, but each succeeding function has In aoma particular, at ieaet, eclipsed thos.' preceding It until It would seem that there was nothing left that la new. Still, the week paat brought the triumph of tha winter In the dancing party given Wednes day evening by .Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Dick inson, when Chamber's academy was trans formed Into a flower garden and society turned out In Its moat gorgeous attire for a summer's fete. There hare been little Innovations, too, that 'were quite delightful, among these the visiting party that went down to Fort Crook Friday afternoon to call upon the officers and ladles of the Thirtieth Infantry. There were about a score In the party which was conveyed there -and back by Special train and treated to a charming lit tle dance before they returned. And then there were the dancing partlei, so many of them in' fact that one woman Insists that "something will have to be done about It," . But the teas that have been scattered through the week were truly charming affairs that had but one possible fault they were too numerous, but the fashionable woman has learned to accom plish much In a short tlmo of late and, as one hostess said, "A crush of affairs his Its advantage, for It kaeps the crowd moving and clears the house before the candlea all burn out." And, by the way, candlea are Immensely popular Just now. Tbey are so effective and lend a nloe, coiy, Old-fashioned air that overcomes much that Is lacking In modern hospitality. According to The-Man-Who-Knows, If half the society gossip In circulation Just now could be cashed there would be no further occasion for charity teas thle year. And thla chat la of the widest and spiciest variety, too, Including everything from a very much opposed engagement between two very well known young people, that promisee to end In an elopement It parental consent la not soon granted, to an affair that had to do with a case of champagne and may have .to do with another aort of "case before It Is settled. The women who have played whist all winter are beginning to realise that how ever delightful that game may be. It la not eonduclvo to strong arms or strong backs, and the delightful days of the week paat that have tempted society out of doora at Interval between tea parties, luncheons and the Ilka, have found them with soft ened muscles that oould scarcely take the steady balance or the strong, firm swing of the golf stick, for instance. One of these devotees to whist whose husband la proud of his horses and who encourages her driv ing them, started out In company with another very well known lady one morplng lust week fur drive to Florence. The destination was reached and an hour apent with friend, but when the driver took the tinea again she found her arms a bit lame. A rnlle or two was covered with difficulty, and then, as her com pun fun was unable to drive, the spirited animals were tied up While ft message was dispatched to the family coachman, who arrived an hour later, when the return trip waa resumed, 1 The following la taken from a Manila, let tar In the Array and Navy- Journal: "Of those who have recently gone from us none are more keenly missed than .the Jolly Colonel John O'ConneJI of the Thirtieth Infantry and his charming wife and daugh ter. The O'Connells seem to belong here. They dispensed a hospitality that was boundless and Irresistible, and while we re joice tor their aakes in the order that calls them homeward, we cannot bill feel that their gain is distinctly our loss."

The matter of the club organ was1 thor oughly discussed and the subject referred to the president and secretary for further Investigation.

Club Women who ore really In earnest and who feel the high Inspiration of the work they have undertaken will gain much encouragement from the following, taken from the Massachusetts Federation Bulle tin: It Is the testimony of nearly all our ad vanced i thinkers, and that, too. In nearly all departments of thought, that the woman's club movement is one of the most hopeful, one of the most progressive and one of the most forcible of all the organ ized movements of our day. Nowhere la more genuine Interest to be found or mora hospitality of opinion, and It must be added that nowhere else can more Intelligent opinion be found. This Is generally explained on the ground that the men are too busy; that the women alone have time to consider advanced questions. Even If this were true, It would furnish no ex planation of the woman's club movement. We reslly have plenty of Idle men who could give time to questions either practical or academic if they were so Inclined. The real exnln nation Is found In tho fact that the club women of the country Include large proportion of our most earnest and trust Intelligent cltttens. It Is a rare thing to find a I rider anions: them. As a class thev are determined that nn shnm. move ment or half developed academic question hll tecelve the benefit of their support. Thev nre constant'v In alliance and co operation with all the beat of the practical sources of onlnlnn In our dy. Thev cannot afford to make mistakes thev do not Topos to make too pnny ex periments. The consensus nf onlnlon from the best and highest sources Is always at their command, and hev re wise enouch n fiake the most of thetr onnortonltles. There are few of the really great leaders of public onlnlon. either men or women, who do not now regard the organized power of he women's Huh ovemept n prohnblv he shortest end nuleVeat of sll the avenues bv wr'ch the nohllc conscience m.y be reached and mibllc question" msv he In-fine-eed.

A famous French painter. M. Osbrlel Fer rler, succeeded tho other d:iy In obtaining a sitting from the pope In order to paint his portrait. The sitting was to have lasted one hour, but before that time was up Cardinal del Val Interrupted on some pressing business. The pope smilingly ad dressed the painter with: "My dear professor. It seems they won't let us work today. You como tomorrow, and perhaps I may be master of some of my own time." The rumors set afloat that tho pope's Bis ters wanted him to abdicate and return to Venice were also caused by a Jocular re mark. Being sympathized with by his sis ters because of the hurd work he had to perform and tho long confinement within the walls of the Vatican, the pope said: "I think It will be much better for me to abdicate and give up the position. We shall then be nblo to go back to Venice together and , lead the happy life of tho pa.t." The difficulties lately experienced In the condition of the Vatican finances did not diminish the pope's inclination to Joke. When ' Cardinal del Val reminded him of the generosity of American Catholics the pope is report, ed to have replied: "I really think that the only way out of theso troubles would be the discovery of a rich American uncle," which expres sion Is proverbial In Italy as the last hope of those In financial troubles. The latest Joke of the new pope was played on Christmas day on a cardinal who had severely remonstrated on several occasions against the democratic ways of Plus X, snd the unheard of custom re cently Introduced at the Vatican that two Of the prelates In attendance should al ways dine with him. Pius X sent to the objecting cardinal a personal Invitation to dine at the Vatican Christmas day and astonished hH guest with the presence of his sisters and nieces and several prelates. The cardinal In question Is not likely to object again to the pope's pleasures. American Visitors to Vatican. When Archbishop Farley of New York arrives here next month he Is expected to officiate at the dedication of the American chapel of the new church of St. Joachim, to which many American bishops have sent gifts end presents of money, New York contributing a beautiful marble statue of the Virgin. Bishop O'Connor of Newark, N. J., Is expected to reach here tomorrow (Sunday) evening, and will probably be received by the pope on Tuesday. It Is generally be lieved In Rome' that when the archbishop of New York Is received by the pope , the Insignia of a monstgnor will be sent through him to Rv. Father Luvelle of the New York cathedral, who was lately made vicar general of the archdiocese. The other vicar general. Mgr. Joseph Mooney, will, In all probability, be made a bishop and created auxiliary to Mgr. Farley. Notwithstanding the antl-clerlcal meas ures adopted by the French government. President Loubet has received a letter of New Year's greeting from the canons of Bt. John at ths Lateran, whose archpriest is Cardinal Batolli. It may not generally be known that the president of the French republlo Is honor ary canon -of the Basilica, having suc ceeded In nls capacity as head of the Mtttte the ancient kings of France. In an swer to the greetings received, the French Foreign office forwarded to Rome a beauti fully engrossed letter signed Emlle Lou bet, the text of which has Just been made public. It Is addressed to (he "Venerable Canons of the Chapter of St. John at the Lateran," and runs thus: "I have received With pleasure the letter of greetings you sent me for the new year, and. while accepting your best wishes for France and myself, I thank you sincerely for the same. We ran assure you that we shall always be glad to give you proof of our affection and consideration."
