Ami the endless ol de rol that is spoken on tho stage and off from it, and amid the appalline mass of stuff that is written with tho intention of getting men's social and political relations adjusted, it is useful and refreshing to consider the universal and eternal facts of science, for they throw these petty wranglings and opinions into their proper place. Mr. Serviss, in his lecture on tho ages of the world, at the Park theater, tonight, will deal with truths that make humanity small except in its apility to discover and conform to those truths. The lecture is plain and instructive audits pictorial accompaniments are beautiful.

Tills Season's Subscription Dances in the Pouch Mansion Preparing; for the Ihpetonga "IJv. in Whist" Rehearsals The Weddings or the Week. Though behind tho rose tinted curtains of tho boudoirs they chatter of dullness and a backward social season, nevertheless the young man of tho hour linds his hand full o' the ovonings.

Every day and night has its appointed functions teas, dinners aua dances and only those who demand rush and crush could ask for more. True thero is not an overplus.nge of gayetv vet, but society is comfortably occupied and evcu now tho soa son is a success. Thero is little more to add in detail to tho E.olk's announcements of the past two Sundays. So far as grout entortninnionts go tho last few days havobosn without incident. "Living Whist" has had its two preliminary rehearsals, the oar nival operas nearly half a hundred in all.

Several brides wont to the altar. Tho St. Nicholas society drank their annual glasses of schnapps at the Mnntauk club. That was all, in a formal way. but dozens of "at homes" all ovor town filled up tho hours and made them speed pleasantly.

The fortnight to however, the nights before Christmas, is gazetted for many Important affairs. Tho dancing classes have their initiatory evenings then, thoso of the hnights and the Prospect heights being scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday evenings, respectively, of the coming week. In spite of the shortness of tho time between the issuing of the invitations and tho danco itself, barely ten days, responses aro coming in rapidly, and tho new Heights assembly is an assured success. After the beautiful Oer mauia hall room Bomscn hall will necessarily seem a littlo dingy and prosaic, but better supper arrangements bavo been made, the hall has been newly bung since last season and special care will bo taken to have the room brilliantly lit. It is recalled that one half of tho success of last year's Ilipetonga was duo to Mr.

Hatch's cluver electric lightning devices, wlii lillod the room with brilliancy mid seemed to give a verve and a snap to iho evening. Something over sixty couples aro expected on Wednesday nnd a cotillon wdll bo danced. Its leader is not yet announced. Tho Prospect Hoights assembly of i802 bids fair to make a very brilliant debut. The list of about seventy five couples will havo to bo enlarged, it is bought, for Tresh applications for admission aro pourlna in every day.

Tho Pouch gallery is to be the scene and, while no elaborate attempt at decoration will bo made, bits and touches of urcen wdll make sullicient adornment for this palace of play. No cotillon, it has boon decided, will be dancod. A continuous supper will bo served throughout the ovonin. a rather complete novelty in its way. Tiio foar that the opening night of the carnival operas would limit the assembly attendance has proved to be unfounded.

Not so many of the assembly members aro to take part in tho Academy festival after all. The dozen ushers from tho hill and plope who were to act on this evening havo had their tirno of service changed to Friday night. Such assembly maids ami mon as do dance Thursday evening in "La Maseotto" will easily bo able to get up to tho Pouch gallery before the fostivitios have gono vory far on their way. Thoro is a movement on foot, howovor, to start tho dances earlier than lost year and to havo them break up earlior. Success can hardly bo predicted for it, though.

In their homo life Mr. and Mrs. Bobbins were extremely frugal, living simply but happily and spending more motioy for charitable purposes than many richer peoplo. At one time Mr. Bobbins gave a very large sum to tho Church of Our Saviour and also purchased the houso now occupied as a rectory.

Mrs. Bobbins was so unostentatious in her methods of doing good that sho never gainod the reputation for benovolenee that sho rightly deserved, for it is known by her friends thnt sho gave away nearly tho entire income of Mr. Bobbins' ostate for ten years prior to her death. Hor will was exceoil iniflyjust, as she loft handsome bequests to all tho heirs, together with goodly sums to local chanties. For many years Mr.

What It Does Every Year tor tlio 1'oor of th City. Tho Needlework guild, one of Brooklyn's youngest charities, has in its short lifo alreaily dono much effective work.

Its beginning, two years ago. was a very quiet ono. Very few Brook lynites knew of tho two meetings culled by Mrs. Stewart of Ridge, in whieli sin urged Brooklyn to follow the example of English women in obtaium from friends the promise of two strong, new garments for distribution among tho needy. The first year's work was most interesting and the many new, suitable garments called forth most appreciative letters from the various institutions whose need for just siieh articles makes the usefulness of the guild.

Within the last six months tho work in Brooklyn has been 1 and the city has been divided into sections. now thirteen sec tions and numbers amonir its mrinbors s.nne nf Brooklyn's prominent people. The meeting was held October y.l at HH Livingston This year's collection will lie mure than seventeen hundred garni juts, distributed amoim the charitable institutions and in a few special cases to the side and agod. To become a member of tho Needlework guild means only the promise of tv. perfectly now, strong garments.

Mr. Cohn has been in business in Patchogne for several years, and it ia hoped that his difficulties are only temporary. completion of the work in the hands of her nephew, Mr. Winfleld Robbins, to whoso untiring energy, splendid executive ability and artistic knowledge the magnificent building is laigely due. Mr.

Bobbins personally supervised the drawing of tho plans, which were mado by Messrs. Cabot, Everett Mead of Boston, and acted as general overseer while tho work of construction was in progress. The building is constructed of buff colored Amherst (Ohio) stono and garnished both within and without by Knoxvillo marblo. Its stylo of architecture is that of tho Italian renaissance and tho exterior and entranco closely resemble the Cancelleria palace at Borne. The dimensions are 110x55, and the heavy slato roof, with its ooppar gutters, ridges, rises over fifty foot from tho ground.

In entering the building the visitor passes through a vestibule entirely finished in Knox vUle marble with uiasaive pillars of Leranto marble. The doors are of heavy carved oak studded with iron. Tho main hall is 30x18 feet in sizo, and is roofed by groat vaulted archos which spring MH. ELI noUBINi. from the sides fifteen feet above th floor and extend to the roof above.

Tho hall is floored with marblo iu rose patterns of various colors. ThV entire room has a wainscoting of Iowa marblo fifteen feet high. At the extreme end of the hall a rotunda formed by arches rics forty flvo feet from tho ground.

The floor is of marble mosaic work with a border 6 feet wide. Tho book room is mado of iron with metal book racks, galleries and stairs, and is said to bo absolutely fireproof. It will hold over 00,000 vol nmes. Tho committee room and room for periodicals are furnished alike, in antique oak, with froscoed ceilings and mosaic floors.

The librarian's room is finished iu mahogany, with a quartered oak floor. Tho second floor of the building contains the gallery, 83x31 fet: the study room, lCxlO, and a lecture room, 4Uxl4 feet.
