AN ISTHHEsTINa NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Me
maRy improvements In Washington society
none are q more perfect success than the
series OF literary reunions inaugurated BY
Hon. Horallo King, who so Hospitality opens
his doors TO those who are Invited 10 these
Intellectual aud literary feAstS. Here enc
can go, forgetting the superhclalitles OF fash
lonable life, Its froth and foam, and ands an
eKhllAratlng rest among Thoughts that
breathe and words that burn" Last Satur-
day eve q large Assemblage graced the ele-
giant pariors OF Mr.. King, and fine poem
on female education, by Hon. @. G. Cor,
was read. That II was full Of ine and noble
sentiment who can doubt that knows the
glfted poet In connection With this II Is
said q volume Of poems will ere long DO
Issued by the press from his pen.
The poem was finely delivered, and was
full Of curt hits on the present defective cdu-
cation Of our women, and citing many In.
stances Of illustrlous women In the past, az
we'll as the present, TO show that Woman's
mind Is equal to mans In all departments Of
science. But at tho same time he, In . most
beautiful manner, recognized the true mission
Of woman as being that Of educator In the
home circle, honored as 4 wife, loved and
revered as mother.
Among the distinguished persons present
were Hon. B. d. French, Judge Edmonds,
Mr.. Baumgras, the artist Col. Burnside,
Mr.. L. A. Gohrlght, DR.. and Mrs. Lippincott,
(Grace Greenwood Mrs. Buell., the popu-
lar teacher Of Buell. Hall DR.. Palmer, and
many others, well known 10 the literary
world.
Toe much praise cannot DO awarded TO
Mr.. King for In this city whore show, dress,
tinsel and glitter have ruled 90 long, where
ono must needs have q superabundance OF
auery, fuss and feathers to possess en- "en-
tree" into receptions OF the season, the
ehAngeis gratifying Indeed. Here the "tAbles
are turned, )" and the essential requisite Is
nobility Of mind and intellectual strength.
It 10 such efforts as this, where true woman
hood and manhood meet, regardless Of dis
tlnction OF wealth, fashion and power that
will raise the public yltlAted tastes from
the qHagmlres OF fashionable snObbery into
which we as an American people have
fallen.
Cannot some other enterprlalng cltiEon do
