The Season of the Clubs Draw- ing to a Close. Eotertainuients in Lake Forest and Other Suburban Towns, VANITY FAIR. THF SEASON HASTENS TO ITS OLOBE, god all Vanity Fairis emulous of giving it s fit- ting borial. - Alaoy are the little pomps and pa- tries of dress in contemplation for the com- ing fortnight, not to mention the grand Charity ol which is intended 5 tho crowning trinmph of the social year. O every side there seems taba s sudden awakening to the reality of Lent, ningled in mapy Dinds With A vaguo self-re- at baving allowed the golden hours of plessure to elip sway unimproved. Thero is gomething comic, to be eure, in the iden of & regret which is 80 like that of thg school- Loy who wished that he Lad eaten anothor picca of ple &t bhis yesterdsy's dinper; yet itis not upnataral. What mother, auxious to make a cood match for bher eldest daughier, will not sigh at the false economy which deierred her trom giving just one more party, since that party migt hiave been the turniog point in her cluld's Isshionable career. Alany a young man has been \assoed by the alalifal firt of a napkin, ‘or van- quished by & **caup de confiture.” With op- portupity, the dsughter might have been wreathed with the sweet laurel of betrotbal, and ihe mother would bave been left free to concen- trate her loviug care upon the next of age al- ready sprioging into youog-ladshood. That op- portanity wasted, and there 18 vexation apd mourning in at least one household in Vanity Fair. Or, perchance, the too Busceptible heart of the daughter wae stricken by the charms of some ineligible male adorer at the last reception, 2nd sbe has vowed to follow the example of the fair Angelica of olden time, who, after being loved by all the Euights and paladins of the sourt, coolly walked off aud espoused the poor benchman, Medoro. Then, indeed, ie the do- mestic misery far greater. Vsuity Fair cannot forgive an Angelica. In this case the maternal tegret sbould be tempered by recalling the ancient proverb that there are more dangers love than hares in Athos, In speaking of socie- ty, it is vey ccmmon to use the term ** crncLEs.” This is sa apt sod correct expression; for in 5o profession or class are people 60 queer- Iy divided up as they are in what is called socie- tr. And that division is not square and abrupt, but on 8 gradually-descending scale, and, it there be a0y shaps, circulsr. Around each leader or clique of lenders thera ste s mulutuda of lesser lights continually revolving. When one (hinks of it, what & deal of genteel poverty thers is, even in this mousy-making city! and ail striving to maintain a place in Vamty Fair! The desperate struggiea between poverty on the one hand apa swbition on the other,—hase they not been experienced by mapy eociety-goers? So many lives have been usefully and bonorsbly spent in aping Fashion, and preserving & highly pecessary 2nd desirable social status, that the etory ts famuliar to every oue. That highestand boliest ambition implanted in the femalo heart— thra desire to outsLine her next-door neizhbor— bas ite sublime moouments contipually be- fore us. When the awfol fact thai drs. Sunh hes gotten s new sealskin sacque is heralded before oar eyes, by that lsdy herseif fsunting ehamelessly past our window tbree times inside of an hour, then is that noble sspiration aroused withun us, and we toil and zave until we, too, have a new sealskin sacque; zcd then we do not take soy paius to conceal the fact from Mrs. Bmith. either. Tothe genteel- poor of Vanity Fair the spprosch of Lentiszn infimte rehef. Yet, after all, it 18 pleasanter to dwell upon the lighter aapscts of Bociesy. How much easier italwava 18 to praise than to eriticise. And there certanly has been much in the prexent stason to admire and to treasure up in the recol- lection. There has been, for iostance, a judic- ious variety of entertainments. Socisbles, Jiter- 2ry and musical eoirees, and dramatic renditions, have spiced what would otherwise have been the monotony of and receptions, while select dencing clats bave flonrished a8 never before. So therecanbe no causs for general complafnt. 'With the Princes§ in.ons of Franco Sachet:i's Lialian tales, Vanity Faic may exclam: “If there were no varistions in the tane of life, how were it possible o judge whether we Were bappy!” THE FIRST REGTMENT RECEPTION, Invitations have been issued for a compli- meutsry roception to be given at the Grand Vacific Hotel Thursday evening by the members of the Yurst Regiment, L S.
