CALLING BY PROXY.
Some OF the PeculIarities OF Society Life
'.. at Washington.

at Washington.
/ Very little OF the paying Of visits by
people in high official life is done in
person. The President makes no calls,
The Vice-President does all his s'call-
ing" through his private secretary,
whose chief duty it is to ride around in
a coupe and leave the cards of Mr.. and
Mrs. Morton at the doors of houses
where calls are due. The members of
the Cabinet do most Of their calling"
by mail. The men whose duty it is
to do this proxy" calling, am in
formed, have any thing but an easy
time. Riding about in a carriage all
day Is an attractive occupation when
viewed from distance. 1t loses many
OF its charms when it is practised day
after day, and nearly, all of its attract
iveness when it is interspersed by con-
stant stoppages along the route Of travel.
Some Of these deputy Cabinet officers
make fifty and seventy-ave calls day.
They have many amusing encounters,
for they visit all parts of the city and
pay their respects, or rather the respects
OF their superiors, to people of all classes
and conditions. Tho receptions Of the
members of the Cabinet are open to all
comers, and all sorts Of people make
the rounds Wednesdays. 1t is social
obligation to which all people in high
official life must conform TO return all
OF the calls that are made upon them.
$50. the deputy secretaries spin around
the city all day, driving from cottage to
palace, distributing graceful bits Of
pasteboard, which the recipients may
place on their center tables as mute evil
dence to tho uninitiated that the Secre-
tary Of - has called upon them. At
the houses where 'recei ving' has been
thoroughly systematized, the colored
man at the door gracefully holds out his
salver to receive the cards, and watches
the rapid escape Of the card-bearer with.
out surprise or comment. At other
homes when the coupe stops at the door
there are evidences OF preparation for
the reception going on within. Chill
dren peep out of the window and run
back with the evident intention Of tell
ing mamma" that somebody is about to
call, The servitor throws wide the
door to admit the expected guest. Then
there Is sudden pail thrown over the
expectant community by the bland an
nouncement Of the young man with the
card case that he will not come in; and,
as the door-keeper accepts the cards in
rather doubtful way, three pairs of eyes
follow the young man in his progress to
the coupe, and watch it as 1t whirls
down the street. .Atsome of the lowlier
dwellings it is necessary TO push the
cards under the door and flee before the
bell Is answered for fear that the am
bassador will be dragged in by force Of
arms and made to pay his chiefs call in
person.. These little variations Of the
accustomed monotony are, all that make
life endurable to the professional official
