Show SOCIETYS DblNGS. A humorous little pamphlet enclos- ig a postal card has made its way ito the homes of the members of the Country club. The purport of the set of five neatly arranged questions is, Is the Country club, as managed last year, a success? Opinions of the anxious are called for and a sort of secret vote is to be taken as to the which-nes- s of the situation. As has been said, the questions are neat and apparently inoffensive, but they involve weighty matter, and call for many ' apros and cons. The first states an interesting item in the fact that the very simple little tea served every Saturand day afternoon during the season,some indeed and which the bachelors of the maids found altogether inadequate, cost the club about $7.50 per. Shall these be continued to the ruin of the girls complexions and the detriment of the club funds? is asked. Then the afternoon receptions, which you recall were always of the N. D. P., according to the reporters, cost the club a cool $20 plain and $35 with trimmings in the way of a band. But the agitating question is, Shall the dancing pavilion, with its yard and a half square of space be rented to club members, with the privilege of in- thereby treading viting on the feet and feelings of the said members, or words to that effect. Of course we all recall the time when a big dinner was followed by a dance and the older and more staid club members who had borne the heat anc burden of the day in order to be there in time to see the gowns of the others were crowded by a number of guests members were not club who The question of a limit as to the club membership is to be discussec and that is one which is, of course, with the club in interest of Bu - its - present small quarters. the brands the. last question we and managers as men who hesitate, to And know what becomes of them. ob an add to the matter they quote scure institution known as the Denver Country club as granting the privilege to its members of taking women to the club who are residents of the city and not members.

JT Jl What a diversity of effects we have in our midst in the matter of marriages, anyway. And in what a vaiiety of ways the mere stepping to the altar affects the victims. Theres the pretty Mrs. Blank, whose marriage a year or so ago only added to her already numerous charms, and despite the fact that there is a little darling in the perambulator, and all the so forths accompanying that, she sems to keep her cake and eat it, too almost. Then again there was a dainty little maiden led to the altar less than a couple of years ago, and the men who appeared to mourn the event were many. Yet since that time she has never been seen at anything jolly, and when' she does appear she seems to be almost a stranger. Does the altar enhance or dispel the charms of a woman? That depends largely on the woman, and a' man may be pardoned for saying even more largely on the man. . Jl Jl According to a morning paper, last Sunday evening witnessed a new departure in matrimonial lines, and the outcome thereof Is to be either several matches during the present year or several hundred dollars to the good or: bad.' Now, if the solemn seven will take the advice of Tod of the Weakly, all they will have to do is to ask and it shall be given. The writer must own that he is among the great num-be- r who have never yet been grabbed, but of course the same could not be said of one possessing the charms of a Goodwin. Some of the fellows are talking of forming a body guard for the boy, lest he be snapped up unawares and the place that knew him shall know him no more. As the matter rests now, some of the men will have to be shown about this grabbing matter. I can't get used to it myself. i Jl Jl A week or so ago a society column had an inane little verse at its head, purporting to be to the effect that the swords of the officer were not available for the purposes of .Cupid.- This Is misleading and not to the point at (ill.
