THE ART OF ENTERTAINING

philadelphia Times.
OF the many examples Of misdirecteI ambition
which city life affords there arc few more distress
ing than large evening party In an ordinary
house. OF course those who have big houses and
plenty Of money can give any kind Of entertain
msnts they please, the more and the bigger the
better; IL Is the average people, with average
houses and average means, yet with an ambition
10 shine like miliOnaires, who furnish Us so many
awful warnings. OF all Improbable things under
these circumstances an evening party Is the worst
The house 10 packed with n crowd Of people. who
jostle one another about and find neither time nor
opportunity for conversation or any other rational
entertainment; who climb over each other at tho
supper table and break the glass and spill wine
and iee.cream on the furniture, and finally go
away grumbling. leaving the host and hostess TO
70 to bod exhausted and rise In the morning 20
eoun. what il has cost. how much damage has been
done and how many acquaintanccs they have over
looked and thereby made enemies forever.
The cos, Of one such party. including breakage
and other inciien,as. would suffice 20 entertain in
rational and profitable way every one in the
crowd whom It was worth while 20 entertain at all.
There is no social enjoyment attainable that 10
equal TO thA, Of wel.o ordered dinner party. and
IL housekesrer only understands housekeeping.
there is no way in which a better use can be made
Of ones money. II is not study biz banquet
tha, is spoken Of here. bu; little dinner. with
cigh, or ten guests at the most-one of the high
es, products of civilization. II need not be very
elaborate II IL is we'll cooked the wines need not
be numerous, IL they arc good, and b! selecting
your guests julciously ysu can gradually take IN
all your friends. give them sil good tiine and
enjoy their society yourself and thus Prohtaeiy
extend and cement yoar iriendshp'. surely this
/. better than giving crush once year with
nothing 10 show for il but broken bFic-a-brac and
somebody offended.
A dinner party. excep; in large establishment,
should not exceed twelve. There i' the practical
reason. in the fr,, place, that all the sppur'enan
&C, Of the tabe-foFks. plates. spoons, napkins and
what no,--eome in dozens, and II that mystic nun
Der be passed no eni Of bother ensues. Then there
1.-THE other reason ,ha, while the company Is large
enough to break into pairs. il is not too large for
general conversa,ion, api thus the main parpo'e
Of dining /. promoted. In these days dinner
giving ha. the special attraction that II enables
housewife to show no, only her nice china and
glass and linen bu; all her pretty things in fur
ni,ure, snbroiderie. and srie-a-brae. which have
to be pu, away when she gives party, making
one house look much like another and every sup
per table-srom the walters TO the sPoons-ju';
like every other one. There is no Individuality in
,hi, sor, Of thing. as there is in a weil-Ordered
little dinner.

hard staring at table insoent disre.peet TO hus-
band, vile and sister, or brother showing ,smPer
In tribes and making scenes in public showing
an embarras.ing amount Of fondness and maxim Z
lore in public; covert sneers, Of which people can
see the animus. IL they do not always understand
the drift; persis,en, ego,isn which talks forever
Of ITSELF ITSELF only itself, and cannot even feign
the most passing intcres, in another de'rae,ion
Of friends, and 1t may be Of relations; all these
are signs and evidences Of vulgari,y-vuisari,y Of
far worse type than tha, ~hioh eats its ish wiih

into that central poin, Of evil sslashnsss. The

The Democr itic members will see co 1t
that th at is not done. The Council have
a great deal to do. Tue duties OF the
committees are not light, and the chair

others ought to have their pay raised

AN INSULT TO ITS VOTERS 1.-The
Republican for three months past has
endeavored IN every way it could, to
make its readers believe that the
Democratic Assessors were the great
est political rascals alive. 1t now
turns around and says they are not
the villains at all but with the men
who claim to be Republicans and
would not go ami pay their taxes and
qualify themselves to vote all the
blame rests for not doing SO, and 1t has
no sympathy with such trash-they
may 90 elsewhere for pity-it takes no
stock il their grief.
This is the second time this old
political fox has done this very thing.
Two years ago it created all the ex-
clement it could TO alarm its readers,
and make them believe the Demo-
cratic Assessors meant to rob the Re-
publican negroes and whites of their
votes. One might have supposed an
earthquake would follow in the wake
of its exciting appeals if they were not
attended to and then it turned right
about and said all that it had uttered
before was of no account whatever
that every man could be assessed that
pleased aud if he was not assessed il
was his own fault and nobody else's
fault but his own. The Republican
said :
"Pebple who pay their taxes always
have votes and their names rarely ever
are left off The assessments. After all
that has besn said there is no real ex-
cuse for voters being disfranchised. ~
