The mottoes for the club are "I doubt not through tbe ages one increasing purpose runs aod the thoushts of men are widened with tbe process o! the eons." from Alfred Tennyson, aod "If thou thinkesi f that thou understandest and lenowest much; yet know that there b many more things which, thou knoweit sot," from Thorn is a Kssspis, Every person has some particular trait, net ic common with people general, whereby they are known, either as the person who does or says soeh and such a thin?, or if known as Mr, or Mrs. Blank is so peculiar, or, to use the Americanism, so funny. A prominent woman here who has entertained Quite a number of times recently, may be described as very funny, although she most not be confounded with others who entertain aod are not so funny. The aforesaid lady desired to give some obligation parties and eonelnded to have a series of dinners and luncheons. Everything was arranged for these latter, as well as the former, on an elaborat plan, neighboring eity markets were even railed upon to contribute to tbe costly abd rsre viands which she would sst before ber guests. It was reserved for the small company invited to ber last luncheon to listen to tbe conversation, which rarely escaped from the one subject her luncheon. She expressed the thought that luneheens were bores, and she eould not understand bow tbey bad become so fashionable, but being in the mode, of coarse she woald give oce. Her lunch ought to be rood, sne bad sent to for things, and they were very expensive, and the bad been all over town to get the very beet tbe market afforded. Shrimps, she thought, were just horrid, azl bow anyone eonVi eat them was more than aba eould understand, but as no lunch waa considered complete without shrimp salad, she bad to have them.and so on through every eourse, everything wee talked of aad commended or excused. Things ought to be good; she paid her eoolc so much a week aod so on ad Cnitum. It may have been one of her days, when she was more peculiar than usual, but she certainly made ber guests f-el as though tbey sught to draw eat their pocket-books and pay ;he bills, don aprons and help with tbe work, and thirdly to apologize to ber for the trouble and bore they bad been to ber, simply because she bad graciously accepted invitations frost Ihern at some previous time. So, ye all who may not be in the charmed circle of fashionable luncheons, mar know, that while the mentioned lass was a most unusual one, that enee.iaa while, the circle is not so charming.
