Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-03-30
WHEN Ella Wheeler Wilcox wrote these

lines
For never yet did heavens sun shine on
Or stars discover that phenomenon
In any country or in any cline
Two maids so bound by ties of mind and heart
They did not feel the heavy weight of time
In weeks of scenes wherein no man took part +.
she didn't know anything about the year
1892. but was speaking entirely for the times
in which she writes. Nowadays the more
fashionable woman is the less she has to

ing everything else to the wall.
ana = 1or one dancing party you can count
luncheons. Either the American man is not
success socially or he does not try to be,
or on general principles he Is no longer q
OF as the business end Of the household.
More and more are the evening hours being
encroached on by the women, and the men
are being left out in the cold. In New Tork
women's luncheOnS are becoming things of
the past, and o'clock dinners are being
substituted. 1t seems as though before long
men Will be dethroned entirely so far as
exceptions in the doning Of their dress
sutts-when they marry and when they die.

A CORRESPONDENT puts the following
suppositisious case: Upon the marriage OF
the elder daughter should the card accom-
panyinE her visiting card (supposing this
last to be written Mr.. and Mrs. Jones), and
bearing her maiden name, be Miss Smith or
Lort1e a. Smith? There is no social rule re-
quirtng the card OF o young woman recently
cation. Her old friends know or ought to
know who she is without It, and to new
acQuafntances the information would have
no particular signthcation. Moreover. she
has no longer any right either to the title of
Miss Smith or Miss Lottie A. Smith, and as
Mrs. Jones only should be known. This
refers only to the laws governing the polite
course, are the only drawing room ethics
that have weight In the United States.
