sisted OF a trio with Fred Bulkely as
and Tom Howard as an expert player
on the flute. They gave a Beethoven
symphony, and it was played with all
the skill that long practice and real in
terest give TO the musician. The
flute accompaniment was particularly
sweet"
mention these instances to show
that one can be in fashion and yet de-
vote some spare time to perfecting
taste for some such accomplishment,
but it is by no means in style to play
for any but the most intimate circle
friends The fad now is to pay for pro-
fessional entertainers, and to pay well.
When Mrs. H. o. Havemeyer starts out
to arrange for an evening at home
with host of friends, she gives her
musical penchant full swing, nor does
she dream of asking even her husband,
who is or was a splendid vocalist, to in
any way contribute to the entertain
ment of guests. 1t was Mrs. Havemeyer
who spent ten thousand dollars for the
music of fifty Boston players at two of
her soirees. Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt,
another lover of music, would never
dream of asking any member of her
family to sit down to 'fuegel" and
entertain select gathering, and yether
husband, as well as Fred and George
Vanderbilt, play the piano with the
greatest skill and have good voices. 1t is
only, however, when a very few init
mate friends are gathered in the pala-
tial homes Of these millionaires that the
men can be induced to ''rhapsodize"
on the piano. When William X Van
derbilt takes his spring or summer out
ing on his yacht he always has with
him one of the best instruments in the
market, and it is on these excursions
that the men of fashion who have ac-
complishments give their friends the
benefit of their entertaining attain
ments. The outings of Commodore
Gerry on his yacht are said to be the

jolliest of affairs, for the reason that
every invited friend is expected to con-
tribute his share to the general gayety.
The Cutting boys, for instance, both
Bob and Winkie, are always sought
after for these trips, for both of them
have a happy faculty of telling good
stories and reciting with all the grace
of a finished elocutionist Bob is the
more serious of the two, but Wrinkles
funny stories generally bring down the
house
The society entertainments which are
always looked forward to with special
pleasure are those given in James NJ.
Waterbury's home, Bay Chester, where
his famous country place, Pleasance, is
situated. Ever since that memorable
LIST OF May, 1889, when the society cir
GUS was given there, and the country
astounded with complete chronicle OF
the affair, the effort has been to keep
the entertainments quiet. They have
always been decorous and of most in
teresting character. Recently Tom
Kelly, the famous skirt dancer of the
Columbia quartette, added a jolly fea-
ture to the occasion.
Since Harry lie Grand Cannon mar
ried, his famous artist teas have been
few, but all of them of most enjoya-
BILE character. Mr.. Cannon's fad is
painting, and it is said that some of his
work is worthy of 1.-THE line" at the Ma
tional academy. l do not know how
true this is. for have never seen any of
his artistic creations. From those who
have been to his famous receptions /
learn, however, that he is still devoting
a great deal of his time to perfecting
himself in the profession of his leisure
hours. Another of his accomplishments
is a splendidly trained voice.
The most famous Of New York's ac.
complished men Of fashion is Frank
Leslie Baker. a pianist of wonderful
ability. His friends believe that in the
Interpretation of classical music he is
the equal of Joseffy or D'Albert His
playing of Chopin etude at quiet So

THE Democratic party of this state
is not feeling at all happy over the
coming special session OF their legisla-
ture. They get mighty little comfort
out OF the fact that il was a Democratic
Supreme Court that set aside their little
scheme FOR perpetuatiDg themselves in
legislative power. States Attorney
O'Connor did not push the case because
he liked to do so. but because be was
compelled by the Republican party to
do so. If the Republicans had not
pushed the right of the disfranchised

anyone suppose that Wall. Villas, Bragg
