STORIES of lamentable state of things is
being heard of from New York. Such din
ner-giving craze Is on there that cards have
to be sent out long in advance, or else all
the wished-for guests are engaged. In fact,
ul1n1-o ri H. h<nr 5krT DE- n
the clubmen in looking over their cards, de-
eide by the quality of the wine they are apt
to find at some particular hostess house,
while others are Influenced by the fact that
they are more apt to meet their particular
favorites at one house than ct another.
There may exist the same thing in Pitts
burg. AT any rate hostesses have been glad
to call in the aid of the newspapers this win
chosen by them and that, therefore, all
others in that particular set are warned on
"a preferable way to sending out invita-
tfons-so far in advance OF the time. DIM
ners and teas and dances used to be events,
but now they are only incidents in social
Pittsburg, and care has to be taken that in
following so fast, they do not trip over one
another.
Either the wine craze as it now obtains in
New York has not reached Pittsburg, or the
newspapers are thoughtful enough not to
divulgeit.
