JX THE mA bii i Ss M Ittl B Usually with tho waning of September and tho approach (if tho li;llit October days, when tho nlr In crisp iiiul buoyant, and when aweary of tho monotonous heat of tho summer, wo begin to look forward wlthcager Interest to tho winter with itn enforced activity, society l wont to mmumio n llfo and gaiety In keeping with tho season, ami if soclnl activity In not already apparent, society Is at leant busy making plium and Hitting Itself in rcadlnctw for tho demands of tho season. Hut thin year tho boiiboiib change, and society remains ntattonary. Society in wrap-ied In dullness, utter dullneBB, and tho Knrmont Wnw to abide. No ono npiwara to ho ready to tako tho initiative, and plans which should ho unfolded, arc held in abeyance, while wo wait for tilings commercial and ilnanclal to lighten. Hut tho stagnation cannot long con tlnue. Lincoln will not, it la thought, ho conspicuously lively thin winter; but thero must ho amusement, and there aro )ooilo who havo tho meann and tho inclination to entertain, and they will dispenso hospitality an of yore, and there will ho plenty of people who are per fectly willing to ho entertained. Wlille tho mituoroiiH social organlzu tlonH that aro tho whecla around which Hoclety revolves, havo not, with ono or two ex coptlonn, taken any detlnlto stepB in tho way of preparation for tho coining boii Bon, It In quite probable that ouch will maintain its organization as heretofore, and thero In a pronpect of ono or two now organizations for social enjoyiuont. Tho Pleasant Hour club will reorganize sometime about tho middle of October, and tho Empire club and tho Patriarchs will undoubtedly successfully continue their existence. , Two or three weddings uro in prospout for tho noxt six weeks, and thero promises to bo a sufficient number of weddings scattered through tho winter to keep interest alive. From present In dlcationn they will nil bo comparatively quiet. Perhaps tho lively theatrical season which is now assured will to boiuo ox tent make up for tho scarcity of events in society. It in poailblo that oro tho holidays aro reached tho comparntivo quiet of tho autumn will havo given place to h galoty all tho more,, pro. nouncud becauso long deferred. KecfrrLtlHni1.
