Sunday Might Receptions In New York.

One of the recent developments of
the city on the social side are quiet re-
captions by people of literary, dramatic,
and artistic taste on Sunday evenings.
Cultivated people who are engaged in
their pursuits but are cut off by their
professional engagements from the en-
joyment of social meetings during the
working days of the week, long for the
gatherings in the parlors of their friends
from which their duties exclude them.
The social longings of many artists have
been gratified in 4 measure for several
years by the holding ofregular afternoon
receptions on particular days of the
week at the homes Of several Of the
most cultivated people of the city.
These receptions are generally made at
traetive, not only by the presence of
many of the best ladies Of the city, but
also by the presence of distinguished
singers and musicians, and there is al
ways a great deal of music at them.
The parlOrs of the people who give these
charming receptions are Ravens of rest
to professional people. But the after
noon gathering does not fully satisfy
the demand for this sort Of thing, and
the Sunday evening receptions have
been initiated, and are rapidly becom-
ing popular. They are very quiet. There
is no rush of carriages to the door, as at
a kettledrum or afternoon receptions on
week days. Those who have them leave
them behind. The company gathers
without ostentation, and enjoys an even
ing of sober, but delightful sociability.
There is often music. The receptions
are frequented by persons like Mrs.
Florence Rice Knox, Remenyl, and 9th
er persons Of fame, and there is great
rush of those who have the privilege of
attending to meet and lionize the emf
nent artist who is the guest of the even
ing. There are not many houses in
town open on Sunday evening, but
there are few, and of good position in
society, and. the literary and art world
here could not do without them. Happy
is the hostess who can get these people
to like to come to. her drawing-room.-

One of the most eminent pianists in
London having suffered much from the
irrepressible conversation of drawing

In the course of recent lecture on
"The Abuse of Books" Mr.. Frederick
Harrison, the eminent essayist, said that
he was inclined to think the most useful
part of reading was to know what to

the best. There never was time dur
ing the last three hundred years when
the difficulties in the way of making an
efficient use of books were greater than
TODAY.
