York. In the happenings of Society during the 1 latter days of the week that has just passed the Heights set has been especially at the fore, the subscription dance in honor of the Yalensians on Wednesday, the first of the Friday. Evening Dances on Friday and the Holiday; Cotillon of the Junior Cotillons last night, all at the Plerrepont Assembly Booms, making a brilliant if short era of gayety. These affairs called out not only the younger set but that somewhat older, the Friday Evening Dance bringing forward many young married couples and not a few of the well known bachelors of former years. The Yale subscription dance, while it had fewer of the older set in evidence than the Friday evening, was yet representative of society in its larger sense.

The Test of Kingship. 'Bliss Caiman in North American Review.) "What, lifts thy name. Olaf, aloft on the shout of thy folk In war? What keeps it warm by the hearth? Is It the favor of Thor? "No! "Tis.thc love of thy people, the great common love of thy kind. The thing that is old as the sun and stronger than the wind. "And.

Otaf, all these things. these, goods which thy priest proclaims, That make thee a lord among men, and give thee a name above names, "Are gifts of the spirit or love. Take awny love, and thy throne Molts like a word on the air, thou art a nam unknown. "Is the King heavy at heart, and no man can tell him why. What does his glory avail to put the heaviness "But, like any poor nameless man among men, the mighty King Is heartened among his folk by the simple love they bring.

"Is the King weary in mind, and none caa lighten his mood; What cheers him to power anew but thought of his people's good? "To love, to know, and to do! So we grow perfect apace. The human made more divine, as the old to the new gives place." From the Rowan Tree. (Katharine Aldrlch. In the November 'Tis I go singing, singing, across the fields at dawn With fairy music ringing the blithe new day Is born. And all the trees are stirring, far as the eye can see: But never tiniest leaflet moves on the rowan tree.

Ah! flutlrigs from the sea of dreams, ye will will not let me rtst: Ye call and call, the livelong day, the heart from out my breast The heart from out my breast to the face mine eyes must tee Because I slept at nightfall beneath the rowan tree. 'Tis I go weeping, weeping, across the dewy meads; The cruel hills are sleeping, no least breath stirs the reeds. No least breath stirs the reeds, nor West Wind cf mfortB me, But I hear the branches groaning, all on the rowan tree. My brothers, my brothers, call me to life and light! 'Tis human love can fold me from the Terror of the night. They pass before me, cold and bard, and oh! they Jeer at me.

Christmas'Is Coming (From the Chicago Record Herald.) I 'wonder why she smiles at me So sweetly, so bewltchingly? She used to pass and merely bow; She stops and shakes hands with me' now. No girl is lovlier than she. I've called at her request and we Make Jokes arid laugh who used to be So fovmal and so graven somehow I wondor why? My wit convulses her with glee; She that was so reserved is free With pleasing compliments; I vow She seems half willing to allow Herself to love with scarce a plea I wonder why? The Star Child. 'Twas midnight. In the Orient Three old and wondrous wise, Astrologers thev knew each star Looked upon the glittering skies.

Startling events they could foresee. And, by mysterious impulse thrilled, They watched the sky with ecstasy. To see a curious dream fulfilled. Clear, was the sky. The Pleiades Calm' and serene, Orion bold, Arctur.us, and the Hyades Looked down upon them, as of old.

Sudden, they saw the eastern sky Flashing with Btrange, unearthly light. The stars grew pale, and, presently, A new, strange star appeared in sight. "A king," they cried, "a king is born! O'er all the world shall be his sway. Hasten we forth, then, at the morn, Our homage at his feet to lay." Hasty, they sought for gifts moat rare; Stones precious, pearls of worth untold. Sweet frankincense, to fill the air With fragrance, myrrh and glittering gold.

Onward and on, they traveled far To find the palace of the king. Still following the guiding star Which led them In their wandering. At length, above the manger The star stood still, and, entering, The Magi, by. the star led. Beheld the palace of the King.

Bnt poverty and lowly birth Were naught to those by stars made wise, And Christ's first worshipers on earth Knew well that they could trust the skies. They heeded not the scanty fare, The manger bed, the lowing kino, They saw a Monarch lying there. And, kneeling, owned His power divine. FRANCIS V. HUBBARD.

Cohoes, N. Y. His Last Tetter. She held the letter in her hand The last of many a one from him The others wore all ashes, and Her eyes were just' a little dim. She gazed down at the date awhile And read, "My, darling," through tears; She smiled.

a poor, sad little smile And conjured back the happy "years. The' flames still flickered in the grate Above the ashes that were there; Impatiently they seemed to wait While she read on, all unaware. Her tears fell on trie woids that he Had written for her, eyes alone; She read of plansthat he and she Had made and then had overthrown. She. sat and watched the flames leap high; She saw his last words disappear; He inlght have heard a sad, long sigh If he had chanced linger near.

She brushed the ashes all away And turned and hurried on to plan The final touches and, next day, Was wedded to another man. Chicago Record Herald. Cora Mallory, Miss LouiBe Murray, John R. Maxwell; Mr. and Mrs.

The Holiday Cotillon of the Junior Cotillons last night scored another of its successes, Ira Downs, with the assistance of Henry Robeson, carrying out Brooklyn Heights cotillon traditions with his leadership. The committee that presided over the floor consisted of Pierre Parsons, Arthur ME. AND MKS. SAMUEL BASON'S DANCING CLASSES AND PRIVATE LESSONS. Pouch Gallery, 345 Clinton Av.

With Thomas A. Gardiner leading the cotillon, dancing with Miss Julia Avery Fish, one of this series of dance's projectors and managers of the first of the Friday Evenings for the season of 1901 2, passed into history worthily. Mr. Gardiner, who has long been known as one of Brooklyn)s most capable cotillon leaders, led a dance that was interesting and well rounded. 'The Pierrepont Rooms, decorated in conformity to the spirit of the Christmas season, had as their chief adornment two Christmas trees, with electric lights peeping through their branches.

The favors of the night were effective and novel. The first of the favor figures "brought for tvard' worsted mittens and stockings of red and white. The men presented the stockings to the girls, the girls handed over the mittens to the men. These stockings and mittens were not the usual cotillon favor oddities, but practicable mittens and stockings for children. They presented an unusual sight, one that was strange and striking, in this well lit ball room filled with black orats and pretty frocks.

After the dance was over these articles were gamereu up by the stern edict of the girl managers of the dances, and they will be sent to the Orphan Asylum in a day or so, for the uBe of. the little ones there. Flowers have been sent to the. hospitals after dances frequently, but it cannot be recalled that a cotillon has ever before of practical help to the poor children of a city. In' the second favor figure the same was carried out as far as possible.

During this there were distributed from where they hung on the Christmas trees toys of all sorts, dolls and drums, whips and balls and a hundred other playro trifles. These were real toys, and later in the evening all. of these that could be captured from their, owners were seized and put aside and will also be sent to the Orphan Asylum. The third favor figure was more conventional. It comprised white satin sachets, painted in holly designs for the girls and fancy painted calendars for the men.

The patronesses of the evening, nearly all of whom were present, were Mrs. William V. Hester, Mrs. Jonathan T. L'anman, Mrs.

A. M. White, jr. Mrs. Lewis N.

Francis and Mrs. James W. MacBride. This dance represented the Heights set, in both its older and younger elements, most completely. On its lists there are only missing a few of the debutantes of the year.

The list of those to whom invitations were. sent out. only just now being is interesting in the extreme, since it shows with great preciseness, for the first time, in several years, those who are really numbered in Heights society. It will be noticed that this term of Heights society is much more elastic than it used to be, that in this set are now many from the Hill and the Park Slope.

A half mile long and nearly as wide, With a forest of stacks and an army of men. Toiling at furnace imd shovel and pen. "What a most magnificent plant!"

"What a grand old country it. is!" I cried: And a man with his chest In the air replied; "It's, Morgan's." I went to Heaven.
