J . and who hue about thim a ery lnten-stliiK ellentclo of litintry liRhts of greater and lesoer desiees. J.j.,o Lincli Williams, n i. St. Louis newsiiaperdcni well Utinw-, once worked on a local paper, and followed up that experience by a dip into Xew York journalism, with several volumes of news paper stories as the result Ono of his clos est friend. Indeed, u business partner f his In Princeton met the tall and sp-irkllm; Mies "Sue" Williams last .-uninicr while sho. . lowed and coifed and wheeled round tho Xorthern lakes. Hb attentions wero more than attentlvo even then, ami tho oth.r Irlj. who did not co in so heavily for atli Uc3, but who made no secret of tho fact that they were dylnc to meet and comverse with the dlslinRUlsh.il. If somewhat bias.;. ounjr author, eaine home creen with nvy .nd ?mlllni: slKniticantly oicr tlio soon-to-1. announced eneapement, as thej" su l.ed. A tho youn? author continued to pay his devotions at the Williams shrine, her recent U5lt Hast Kivinc him such unlimited oppor tunities, tho Xorthern coterie has felt reasonably sure that affairs would be settled -uirely at this time; but Miss Williims keeps provokinsly wleM. and the "rising youris author." whoso name, by the by. happens to be burlesqued whether Intentionally or not. I do not know In the east of "The Burgomaster." continues to sigh in vain. Despite the inevitable Christmas shopping which forced itself upon everylxxlv I i-t werk, een those who resolved to s.nd orly their xisltinc cards with an appropriate sen timent inscribed thereon, the afternoon ten-i wero crowded.

Of course, .very body cam" at half after 1. and the house wa"1 onsnin ntly paekel t.i suffecatlon. It is al ways thus wh n this divl-iou of time Is made. People simply will not tome early nor at the time they are Invited. I think It was at a tea slv. n by Mrs I)jn ean of Westminster place, about a year s. that this absolute disregard of the time stated on one's Invltitlon was so forcibly brought to mind.
