REFUSING INVITATIONS.

Refusing invitations altogether, or
invitations previously accepted, is with
the many an effort, if not exactly
painful, yet not altogether pleasant.
To write refusal with facts at COM
mand deprives the act Of any suspi-
cion of righteousness: but facts are
not always forthcoming or are, per-
haps, of too private a nature to be
made public property hence, in writ
inc refusals and excuses, n certain
knowledge of letter-writing is all i'm
portant TO novices in the art of saying
the right thing. But with regard to
refusals, the most decidedly disagree
able to write are those in answer to in
yitations asked for through u third per-
son. People have various reasons for
declining general invitations besides
the all-suilicient one Of "a prior en-
papement." Mrs. A. very much re-
grets that previous engagement pre-
vents her having the pleasure OF ac-
cepting Mrs B,'s kind invitation" is
the usual formula in the conventional
world; but ii these ladies were on
more friendly terms with each other,
Mrs. A. would probably write in the
first person when pleading a prior en-
gagcmcnt.
1t is an open question whether the
nature of the engagement should be
stated or not. Even intimate friends
often contne themselves to the state
ment of the bare fact only that a prior
engagement exists; others, on the con-
trarv, state the nature of the engage
ment, and there is no doubt that in so
doing so a compliment is conveyed, the
refusal softened, and any sense OF dis
appointment allayed.
Reserve is one cause for seeming
want of confidence, and dislike to
writing long letters is another good
reason; while yet third is the fear Of
not being equal to the task of explain
ing the engagement in neatly-turned
sentence Few care to confess this
much, but roundabout letters prove
that the fear is not an unfounded one.
When prior engagement can not be
made the basis of refusal, then the
refusal must rest on other lines, and
how TO avoid giving annoyance or Of
Tense is SO perpleXing, that the accept
ance of an unwelcomc invitation is Of
ten preferable.
I!-hcalth or a severe cold are ex-
cuses that can not be challenged if
neither OF these impediments can be
advanced, politeness must fall back
upon another resource, and this is exact
ly what politeness finds difficulty in
doing
"Why goP" And thus it is easier on
the spur of the moment, to create an
engagement for the day named in the
invitation than to seek helplessly for a
further excuse The excuse of a prior
engagement is adopted by many in
the same sense in which mot at home
is in every day use, signifying in the
one case not to accept an invitation, as
in the other an intention not to admit
visitors. But it is not every one who
ventures TO take this latitude, consider
ing that it is not straightforward
course, preferring TO make a sacrifice
of inclination rather than thus evade
an unwelcome invitation.
AS general rule, few invitations
are declined, save under imperative
circumstances, which means. indispo-
sition, illness or family bereavement,
or unavoidable absence from home. -

The fashionable foot of woman has under
gone a sudden and radical change. Only a
few months ago il wns wholly artificial
IN shape, and as unnatural in size a.
squeezing could make ii. But at
the point where further rsinodeling of
the foot would have nearly approached the
Chinese kind of designation there came Il
reaction, and the foot of the New York belle
to-day is set fatly and squarely on the
ground. The Information has been produced
by the vogue into which athletic sports have
come with the ordinarily all-too-gentle sex.
Pedestrihnism has struck popularity with
our city young women, and lazy ease is for
the time in disfavor. Exercising a foot was
found to be hardly a diversion in the high
heeied and mrrow-toed shoes, and, therefore,
u change was wrought In a few weeks which
physicians and dress reforTners could not have
effected In a century OF argument. An artist
friend, rupturous on the subject, declared
that an era Of naturalness had at last begun,
and that uncontrolled waists would be the
next happy attainment on the part OF our
fashionable girls
See that foot" he exclaimed, referring to
one that was protruding from under the hem
OF a skirt across the car in which we were
riding. at isn't expressionless like ii bunch

shapely, free-in short, just the foot that
ought to be on "a pretty and lively girl"

A DELIGHTFUL lot of rwaddle is now
printed in Republican papers, in predict
ing the everlasting damage that will be
done Grover Cleveland by the half-hearted
support fthe New York SUI. With ill
suppressed glee these writers point to the
alleged fact that General Hancock was de
feated by a similar course pursued by the
same paper. All this sounds very re-
markable now considering the small credit
for influence allowed the Sun by these
very same papers but a few weeks ago.
Granting that the Sun does possess great
influence, they overlook the very import
ant fact that the New York Times, a
paper Just as remarkable for its ability, is
supporting Mr.. Cleveland We would,
therefore, respectfully callthe attention of
the jubilant paragraphists to the fact that
the SIM is not the only influential news
paper published in New York.

not know it was loaded. There was a
rival daily that had been running two
years, and we entered the arena, hoping
to win an easy victory over this paper and
become a great power in the West. We
made it our business to boom everything
that was boomable and to sneer at the
lack of enterprise of our adversary. We
got specials by mail, press reports by slow
freight, and showed u style of fearless en-
terprise that was the envy and the adj
miration of many large metropolitan jour
nails. We thought that our adversary
wouldn't last more than a month after
election, but Thanksgiving came and
found the Erenin0 Squdioker still IN
