: ■ «■ THE AMEK1CUS DAILY TIMES-BECOBDER: 8UNDA1, DECEMBER 6, t»91. IN SOCIETY’S WHIRL A WEEK BRILLIANT WITH SOCIAL QAVETV. Mire WMhj Inumw »I'sln" psrtare Fro* the Co.lom.ry »« tertslomeot-Show.m.dStaae Stare K»- vtewml—Other facial trees. Two very charming entertainment* hare marked the past week a* a red let ter on» socially. Holiday night the America* Light fantry fair went out In a “blaze glory." There wa* a number of visiting star* In the abclal flrmanent who added lasterto the event, and rumor ha* It that at least one matrimonial engage ment wa* brought about during the fair festivities,, and we may look for the am nouncement soon. ■ How the customs of society have changed in this respect. Thirty years ago there wa* no engagement announce ments, Then, a young woman denied strenuously, up to the* time of her wed ding, having any partiality for the young man gossips accredited her affianced. Years later the fashion was first Insti tuted of the mother going in person to all her friends and acquaintances, and formally announcing her daughter’s be trothal. In some cases the daughter ao oompanied her mother. Nowadays, peo* pie are informed by some near or dear friend at a dance, ball or lea. It is then published as a society Item In the lead ing newspapers, and tbu* told to the world. The publicity of engagements carries a good effect with it, as I* shown by the few broken troth* heard of in these times... A woman, of oourse, must expect to receive less attention after her friend* know her heart Is given to an other—but why should it be otherwise? Is it not selfish to keep other women from the happiness you sre now enjoy ing of belonging solely to one dearly loved, and looking forward to a content ed home life. Be honest in your love affairs, youog women, and in the end you may have less lovers, but more true, real friends. The following beuutlful lines should be heartily analyzed by all young women contemplating matrimony, and the di vine sentiments should be imperlshably stamped upon the souls of the true, vir tuous women of this decade: Woman’s Query. r>„ you • know that. you have ssked for the costliest thing Ever made by th* hand above— A woman's heart and a woman's life And a woman's wonderful love? 1)0 yon know you have asked for this price less I lilng As a child might have asked Tor a toy - Demanding wkal others hare died to win With the reckless dash of a boy? ' .You have written my lessons »r duty out, Man-llkeyou have questioned me; Now stand at the bar of my Woman's soul, Until I have questioned tlwe? You require your bread shall be always good, Your eookt and your aborts should lie whole; > 1 require your heart to be true as Uod's stun, And pure as heaven your soul! • You require a cook for your.mut on and I require a far letter ihhi*: A seamstress you're wsntnig for stockings audsblrt— 1 want a man and s king!

Is your heart an ooasn so strong and deep? Woman can never take her rightful place among the Angela In whose divine ■mage she was created nutll I’eri-llke she brings to the matrimonial altar vir tuous aona, "the gift that Is most dear to Heaven," and lu return th* richest blessing Heaven can bestow on woman. Hen hare no right to demand of woman in the presence of Ood wbat they cannot return full measure for measure. Ure. H. C.

And there’*, a heap of trouble about a tol erably good stove This season has proven that there is one line of stoves at least that is good (without the tolerable) and they are sold at the Ar tesian Corner. The Artesian Corner Stoves are fitted up with forty pieoes of ware, where other dealers only give twenty-six. As usual, you get more and pay less at the Artesian Cor ner.
