MEN WERE MERE FIXTURES I Young Women of The Carolina Tnrn Tables at Leap Year Cotillion. Dignified Men and OfttinieM Portly Preside and fttvagg'er Youths Illene Fuvori. THE ME were mere fixtures at the Leap Year Cotillion given by the young women of The Carolina, Monday evening, simply necessary accessories to make the occasion complete. And while they were in a measure, favored and flattered, they were nevertheless, made to feel their utter insignificance; to un derstand something what it meant to "be a girl." They were not even permitted to seat their fair partners, bow courteously and mutter softly, "Enjoyed it so much, doncher know ;" and in the first dance it looked very much as if they were to be denied the privilege of leading in the dancing.

Much credit is due the committee of managers of which Mrs. St, John Smith of Portland, Maine, was chair man. Dancing began at nine and ceased at twelve, and the figures included many which were new, novel, humorous and picturesque. The favors were in excellent taste. The "patronesses" were Judge Mor gan J.
