SOGIALjALAD pleasantly reported for SUNDAY’S CALL. 7 A garden path lined with roses; Trips a maid among the posies, plucks fragrant rose of blood-red hue And whispers low: “0 blossom, do Take to my lore a message true— A message that I charge to you— One pure above all mortal things. Dear, go to him with fleeting wings And say to him: 'Your sweetheart’s true To you alway. She loves but you, And your image is on her heart, While she murmurs, *1 will not part With it ever? ’’ And whispers low, > ‘Now, lovely rose, I bid you go And in his heart, just breathe a song Os love and hope; a tender song So pure, ao sweet, that sad despair Shall vanish into empty air— And Love may see the rainbow true Reflected in fair skies of blue.’ ” Long years have passed. The rose is dead, But its fragrance has never fled. Though crimson petals faded lie, And the maiden, with tear-dimmed eye, Hanes on the once bright flower, ‘ Plucked in gladness from lover’s bower So long ago. Poor, faded rose; > • The maid guessed not how swiftly flows The love from hearts that seem so true. Ah, tom of loye, the message you Were charged to'give, within your heart Must ever lie, and you must part With it never. The murmured sigh, The words of tendernes must die. For he was false, false to his love— False to his vows to God above. And she? Ah, she is-true for aye— For a woman loves not today And then forgets! Her love must live Tomorrow, too, although it give But bitterness, despair and pain, And youth’s sweet love comes not again. • ♦ » The "new woman” is dead. Like - everything else feminine, she was but • fad, a caprice, a whim. Extremists in the movement presented such a grusome, ludicrous picture that wo men, the wide world over,have shrunk back, not quite to the fragile, willowy period of our grandmothers, nor yet 1 to the clinging ivy period, but still : into an essentially womanly creature, 1 Man is to be left the possessor of bis 1 own domain. Bis clothes, his sports, 1 his pleasures, bis relaxations, are to be his and his alone. This fact is shown : in every detail of woman’s life. Cy clists no longer wear bloomers or "knickers” under their tweed or linen skirts, but daibty white lingerie ap pears when the wind disturbs the serenity of the outer garment. Stiff collars and linen stocks are discarded for tfip softest mulls and lawns; stiff manish hats are thrown away, and replaced by feather trimmed inven tions of the milliners. So much for the costume. In sport, golf is con sidered violent exercise by this most modern of all modern creatures, and ton miles is a long spin on a wheel. In London, during the past season— and of course the fads and caprices of London’s Vanity Fair are but the forerunners of those of the Metropoli tan—the fainting spells of Angelina and the smelling salts of Evelina were very much de rigneur. As milady passed from booth to booth, she re** qtiired an enormous amount of stimu lent, net, be it understood, the stimu lants taken by strong men, not wine or spirits, but phosphates, bromides, cordials or liqueurs. Tea and coffee in their_ordinary forms were rarely seen, but creme de case and creme de the*—whichever matched the hostess’ gown, for no up-to date hostess would serve a liqueur that did not match her gown—were most restorative. On every London buffet all the "ates” and "ides” known to chemists occupied a prominent place, so that milady could choose her favorite stimulant. In every drawingroom, mingling with the perfume of fragrant blossoms, was the pungent odor of lavender and violet salts. The change to this state of affairs has been somewhat abrupt, and it la a bit hard for the robust maidens of the past year or so to suds denly assume the drooping graces of fifty years ago, but on the faces of the framed and painted Angelinas and Evelinas on the walls there is a more than ever self satisfied smile, as if w these belles of long ago were saying: “I told you so! I knew that you would have to return to us, to our weaknesses perhaps, but also to our grace and loveliness ” ♦ ♦ » The Hawthorne Club bad a most delightful meeting with Mrs. Walter Ellis Tuesday afternoon. The intro duction of the magasine exchange at this meeting promises much profit and pleasure. Mrs. J. Henry Walker was unanimously elected Librarian.

SS 0 > I 1 II ,« A Fine Attraction- - Tbe Birmingham Age-Herald bar tbe following complimentary notice about Al G. Field’s minstrels which will be at tbe Olympic next Tuesday night: "Tbe best minstrel show ever given in Birmingham,” was the unanimous verdict of tbe audience which witness ed Al Field’s minstrels last night. Not only was it a “standing room only” audience, but it was also one of tbe most refined that has ever been seen in the opera house.
