Several attempts are being made to establish “Browning clubs,” *sewing circles” “athletic clubs” ana the many other forms of self-cult- | ure and charity that New York ladies make | popular during the period of devotion. | If we have not the clubs New York soclety | makes populer we are certainly about to adopt tieir atest fad—the Geranium decoration.

General Horace Porter will remember it, because his political and diplomatic aspirations have been realized’ in being appointed Embassador to France. Colonel John Hay will appreciate the honor that has been conferred on him by his appointment to the Court of St. Jumes, and probably no wiser choice could have been made by President Mec- Kinley than that of Colonel Jdhn Hay. Though within the past eight years Colonel Hay has not taken an active part in political affairs his record has been an interesting and brilliant one. During President Lincoln’s administra- tion he was secretary and beloved friend to that immortal President. He has served as First Secretary of the Paris le- gation. He had charge of affairs at Vi- enna and served as secretary of the lega- tion at Madrid under General Daniel E. Sickies. For years ne was editorial writer.on the New York Tribune, and served as editor- in-chief during Whitelaw Reid’s absence in Europe. Under the administration of President Hayes he was the Assistant S:cretary of State. His poems and ballads hold an honored place in our American literature. Perhaps the best known of his ballads are «“Little Breeches,” *Jim Bludso'’. and “Banty Tim." 1t is believed that Colonel Hay was the author of the anonymous novel, “The Bread-winners,” which was published alongin 1883 or 1884, and which created such a sensation at the time.
