"What are society's penis for young women?” I just asked a “society : glri,” and she said: “In Washington, lack of men.” For girls this Is true. Thera are plenty of men In Washing, ton. Perhaps in' no city In the Uni ted Status is society worth so moth while as In Washington, because so many distinguished men gather therq. In no party do you Ml to see groups, any one member of which would be considered worth making a feast for in other cities- All the distinguished men of Washington scarcely come at an earlier period than thoir middle life. They are in Washington bo- cause they have already won more or less eminence. They are past the un certainty, the hesitancy, the unreality of life, and are bent on definite par- suits.

Now the point that we wish to press is that it is generally unwise, and it is almost sme to entail harm, to many out of one's general social sphere. It is far worse, too, when a woman mar ries benoath bar general social grade than when a man does it. Social standing, in the nature of the case, goes more with the man than with the woman. Yonng women should remember this. Tennyson wa3 speak ing of character, to be sure, but his words apply along the whole line Tho Country Girl.
