for the exercise of discretion in ek social jelal associations especially associations of wre a creative character the season for dancing and other festive and more or less pub lie lle parties is already inaugurated some remarks were advanced in the NEWS upon the necessity of prudence in regard to the charac admitted to such social re uni ons and especially of a judicious watchcase watch care being exercised over the younger and less experienced members of society in regard tp the acquaintances they might make in attending these parties time was among our citizens when most of them know each other and in a social ward dance or even city dance everybody knew everybody there or very nearly everybody such however is not now the case on the contrary ma many citizens haygo may go to a social asocial as assembly em nylly now and they be comparatively ively unknown the majority of the assembly being also either entirely br comparatively unknown n to them here a question arises I 1 under these circumstances can old time easy social familiarity be advisedly practised practiced in these more modern assemblies the answer may properly be hardly to 9 0 all there maybe courtesy and no unpleasant stiffness of bearing manifested but the social freedom of old times can be scarcely wise under the present circumstances in consequence of the mixed condition of society here and some of the peculiarities of that mixture one cannot now luy ruy rely iely BO muchas formerly upon the general character of the assemblies entire as being favorable to promiscuous acqua acquaintance ent int in all good society anywhere some acquaintance uc personal or by reputation is considered a necessary preliminary to social acquaintance and anci even actual introduction of a stranger by a known

sufficiently careful ap an to who are invited to attend true but they are not always so careful as might be wished as other con consider sider anions than the desirability of social acquaintance have

accepting them when they may not be desirable si or when there may be any uncertainty concerning their true character direct or indirect present or ultimate any attentions of strangers may be courteously declined if the person to whom they are tendered has no desire to accept them and this under the general social rule that requires the introduction of strangers bya mutual friend or
