THE STOIC.
He who knows not lore nor hate,
. Nor boist'rous joy nor sorrow,
In perfect calm may sit and wait
For each tomorrow.
Learn thou to bear what rauBt be borne
Not ever-sad nor tearful,
Too strong to weep and sigh and mourn,
And shudder fearful.
Too wise to laugh and grow elate.
Remembering 'tis only
A passing smile of tickle Fate.
That leaves thee lonely.
Take thou the good the gods provide,
What time they choose to send it,
But never think it will abide,
They only lend it.
Take thou the ill and murmur not,
Tis only for a season,
A little while 'twill be forgot,
To grieve is treason.
Hewho knows not love nor hate,
Nor boist'rous joy nor sorrow,
In perfect calm may sit and wait
For each tomorrow.

The eucce&s of Mrs. Potter Palmer at
Newport this summer was a triumph of
tact. She has been playing around
Newport for several Beasors and this
summer she came, they saw and she
conquered. Mis. Palmer went to New
port quietly, entrenched herself in an
elegent house and Bred noiseless, smoke
less guns until Newport capitulated.
She did not begin by giving a ball but
gave small dinners to choisest spirits.
She entered by degrees the gates which
any shock will close with a Blam and
forever against a new comer. Town
Topics details the following of her tine
Italian hand:
The historian needs years between
his time of writing and the events
which he describes, so that he may get
the true perspective and be free from
any influences or prejudices which inev
itably oppress and fetter a writer on
contemporaneous topics. The minor
events of social life, to be accurately
commented upon, also need the benefit
of time and reflection. So many devel
opments occur, following an incident,
that it is sometimes weeks before it can
be justly transcribed. It has only been
within the past few days that the ex
planation of the two leaders for Mrs.
Potter Palmer's Newport cotillion has
been reached by the gossips, and only
within a fortnight that the details of
festivities at the residence of Mr. and
Mrs. Frederic Gebhard, at Bar Harbor,
last August, hava been divulged. It
now appears that what was considered a
novelty at Mrs. Palmer's dance, and a
delightful exemplification of the French
and Ameiican methods of cotillion lead
ing, set forth by Franklin Bartlett and
C. Raoul -Duval, respectively, was really
a compromise between Mrs. Palmer,
htr charming niece Mies Julia Grant,
and her two gentlemen who officiated,
and a compromise thj.t was effected at
the last moment and followed some long
and heated negotiations, which, but for
Mrs. Palmer's tact and Miss Grant's
good temper, might have resulted in a
decidedly disagreeable social explosion.
It is said that when Mrs. Palmer decided
upon giving the dance, which so success
fully established her status in Newport
society, she appealed to her neighbor,
Mrs. David King, for advice as to who
would be the proper person to lead th
cotillion. Mrs. King, who is a New
Yorker by birth and a Washingtonian
by adoption, and, therefore, by tradi'
tion and acquaintance, affiliated with
the atmoepbere of earlier New York and
later Washington days, naturally and
unhesitatingly replied. "Why. Frank
lin Bartlett, of course." As Mrs. Pal
ner bad beheld the dignified Mr. Bart
lett conducting the "myriad of mazes,'
at Mrs. King's, a few evenings previous,
in the same impressive manner in which
he reads the minutes at the annual
meetings of the Union Club and ad
dresses the House of Representatives,
she forthwith requested him to do her
the honor of presiding over her dance,
an honor which was graciously granted.
A day or two before the dance, Mrs.
Palmer casually mentioned Mr. ftnrt
lett as the leader of the cotillion, when
her neice. Miss Grant, suprisingly raid:
"Why. I have asked Mr. C. Kaoul
Duval." In some manner both gentle
men heard of the contretemps, and, it is
said that both flatly declined to lead.
Report is silent as to what took place in
the Potter-Palmer household, but it is
known that Mrs. Palmer summoned
back her World's Fairdignity,that Miss
Grant smiled her sweetest smile, and
that finally the austere American and
the excitable Frenchman agreed to lead
together, alternating the figures.
The guests at the Palme; l;inco will
now uuderstand why Mr. Bartlett'
always correct and digndied figures
were, if possible, a little n ire studied
and formal than usual, ard why Mr.
Raou-Duval threw into the figures
which he led the sparkle of hiB own
champagne, and gave to them all the
dash and liveliness possible, why ho
rushed the dancers hither nnd thither,
and why, with his charming accent, he
peremptorily ordered "privateers" off
the floor and kept up a running firo of
expostulation with the bewildered
leader of the orchestra. Little did many
of the dancers know of the fierce fires
that burned beneath the Arctic Bmile of
Mr. Bartlett and the hectic flush upon
Mr. Raoul Duval's cheek. All tbey
realized was that something made the
dance unusually enjoyable. Jt was
America versus France, and honors
were easy.

clothing.
