The trains are crowded with them and the uafon station these departing September days looks like a porfoct Kaleidoscope of color. Sometimes thoy loow rested, sometimes they don’t. The children appear as if they bad the best time in the world; they ace browu of face, clear of eyes and merry of heart, but, alas! the prodizal sons and daughters outnumber the children. They make you beliove they had & good time, but did they ¢ They look jaded, many of them, even care worn and instead of turning out a song their summer vacation has proven to boa sermon. However it won't b8 long beforo they are back in the harness of the heavy sweils and then they may ex- pect to agarn enjoy life, Do you know life With some of our society leaders is likened unto a glass of absinthes Itonly exhilarates for the time boing and when the lights of the fashionavle ba'l room are put out and the world opens for the devoteo of social forms and customs, a profound ennui seizes tho fol- lowers of Dame [ashiou, and like the *‘fairy with tho 5, it leaves a flood of bar regrets behind, But the streets are becoming more ani- mated, familiar faces again nppear at the clubs, in the shops, 80 that the attractive auarter of the city wears much of its normal aspect. Tnere are sull a good many ab- sentees—men off hunting and fishing. Dian like girls tramping in the mountains an lin # by the seaside and crowds in the country. ;. There hias been considerable gaiety during tho past week and the social grind may be saic to’'have fuirly begun, bul in a few more woeks, when the October weddings come -along, matters will be more interesting. The other day, in talking toa well known school mwum who had spent the summer on the continent about the delights of foreign travel, she suid ono of the pleasantest expe- Tiences of Ler vacation was the visit she wado at Marie Bashkirstefl’s tomb at Passy in tne suburbs of Paris. The conspicuous position of the tomb immediately adjacent 10 the entrance gate and its uncommon churacteristics at once arrest the attention, even should tho sightseer Lappen to be un- acquainted with the life story of thetalented Russian girl whom 1t commemorate: ‘The monument is composed of white stone and is more massive than decorative in effect. Itis surmounted with a dome, the architecture being Byzantive, like many of Russin's magnificent churches. Indeed, the dimeusious are rather those of a small church than of a modern sepuicher, this un- usual size reminding the traveler of ancient Rome's receptacles for cinerary urns, ‘The nature of tho inscriptions also torcibly re- call memories of the old world epitaphs to be seen in the Galleria Lapideria of the vaticar The door is glass and you look into a sopulchral chaaber, if sepulcnral chamber it gan be terwed, where nothing funoreal or 0omy meets the gaze, but where, on the oontrary, a cheerfifl and even hiomelike look pervades the chamber, which is brightly lighted by three stained glass windows at ench side. 'Lhe contents are eloguent remi- niscences of the ilifated young genius. Her vorurait is the subject of the two middle suiined glass windows; and her bust, por- traying a delicately-featured girlish face, oc- cupies @ oentral position at tho end furthest from the door. Russian piclures of saints are placed upon a tavle beneath the bust, tho figures being represented in the well known style which evades the command ot the Greek church respecting imagos, that s, the faces and hands are realisticully painved, and the dravcries are rendered i wrought metal work. Candelabra, palms and wreaths aro also grouped around the bust. A white dove, the emblem of purity, is_attached to one of the memorialofferings. Some articles of modern furniture, however, seem the ob- jects most vividly associated with Marie Bashkirstefl, There ure picces of art pot- tery and draperies in which sbe ouce de- lighted; thero are & paint-staiued, much worn carpet and some equaily worn foot- stoolr, cushions and chairs, Among the lat- tor a Prie-Dieu chair bears the initials M. 8. Opencd with & Goiman, Although somewhat unusual at so early a date in the fail caleadar, yet thero is no form of social entertainment so well designed to Insugurate the season’s functions as a ger- man.

Twelve direct and indirect figurcs were danced, flowers in baskets and bouquets being the favors. The music was delightful, stationed at one oud of the long conservitoire, while & big punch bowl stood at the other to add its quantam of iuspira- tlon to the affaire de societe, @ Mr. Herman Kountzo recoived bis guests, assisted by Mr. Augustus Kounize, Miss Kountze, Mr. and Mrs, .
