The Value of Social Life
have always rather condemned
oclety people aa being useless,-- saia
the Lace Buyer. "But I am begin
ning to think I may be wrong."
. "fio, you ; are right," replied her as
slstant, bitterly. "What earthly good
irk they They simply pasS their
Uvea in frivolity, and never earn a
eent of the tnoney they so recklessly
spend. .What 'good are euch people?"
I went lo Mrs. Van Orden's tea,
yesterday" said the Lace Bnyer, re
flectively. "She was good enough to
Invite me, and I just made up my
mind to go. I thought I would like
to see, for once, that phase of life."
Didn'tyou feel lonesome?"
j' JNo. Mrs. .Van Orden was lovely and
introduced me to a lot of the people.
A.fid It was this graciousness, and the
atmosphere of charm about the whole
tblng, that set me to thinking that
social lite has a value and fills a
need."
. ""Suppose," went on the Lace Buy
er,' "that this sort of thing were drop
ped out of life entirely? I tell you
it., would be a distinct loss. Some
may carry it to an extreme, it is true.
AM sc-me may get nothing from it,
tiut the show and glitter. But the
thought at the heart of it is sweet
workers haven't the time to give it.
And if it weren't for the so-called so
ciety people, Jt would have to die out.
So I say, they are useful and fulfill
a purpose
"If we had more time," said her
assistant, "we could do it."
"Yes. But as conditions are, we
havent the time.- No doubt,, condi
tions will improve until we, too, can
bring into our lives social graces and
their softening, refining effect. But
until we can, they need, for the good
cf humanity, to be kept alive. And
this, the society world is doing, not
perhaps in the truest, finest way; but
as best it can with its present limit
ed outlook on life. When we all have
a broader view of life, we will see
these little social affairs for what
they arev-not things for personal
aggrandisement or the further of am
bitions, but opportunities for the kind
liness and graciousnesfe in our na
tures to blossom out, the places where
we plant flowers along life's hih
way.
'Well maybe", said her assistant.
I know I would like to do a little
flower planting myself."
bmce you can t," responded the
Lace Buyer; "be glad there are those
who -can, and that life is thus mnde

ine opinion of Squire R. A. Cox,
in the case where H. J. Bailey was
suing R. J. Aiken for a portion of a
month s salary, was that Bailey could
not recover. The decision was ac
cepted as a final one for notice of an
appeal was not made.
It appears that Mr. Bailey was em
ployed by the month and according
10 tne contract he was subject to a
discharge at any time; the contract
not specifying how long his services
would be kept. The plaintiff was of
the opinion that he could command
his full month's time even though a
