Washington, D. G., Oct. 5-My Dear
Janet: Tea urinkings, high, low ana
moderate, are now the main features OF
life. Mrs. Daniels, of Virginia, last week
invited number of her acquaintance to
participate in "blue tea" Is not the
name enhancing? Not that the beverage
which enlivens but does not inebriate,
was couleur de ciel, simply these hosts
and her charming assistants were gowned
in the palest of blues, the floral decora-
tions, the table appointments all were
blue, and I regret to say, some of the
guests were blue also. October is very
young yet, and when you come to think
that until June, at the earliest, these tea
gatherings will continue to flourish, it is
enough to make one feel that color of the
rainbow which is supposed to typify
melancholy. am no admirer of Brown
ing's, in fact, like good old DR.. Holmes,
think him more prig than poet, but
sympathize with the sense of persecution
which caused this celebrated outburst:
Were Ghenghis Khan, oh China,
Low in dust thou woudst be lying.
| From thy cursed tea came parties.
And of them l am slowly dying

Now that society is at home, clubdom
has shaken off its air of desolation, and
assumed an every ay-in-use appearance.
Washington is great city for clubs.
The Metropolitan has long list of mem
beers, that includes some of the most nota-
BILE individuals in the country. The Cos
mos is scientific affair, and has voice
in all conceivable sub ects from the latest
discovery in Theosophy to the engineer
ing principles of the Potomac flats. But
the most interesting club is the Vino
daughsis--the woman's club-founded
under the patronage of the late Mrs.
Harrison. Its eminent protector labored
early and late to make it success, and
it has been, in matter of membership,
and as far as women's club can be q
success, for as witty writer puts it, all
the elements are lacking. Women will
not swear, smoke or chew, so how can
their clubs be bearable. Mrs. Cleveland

Apropos of club, rumor says that an in
stitution of this kind hourishes in the west
end and its membership is limited tc
four. They are said to be four lonely
lonesome senators, whose wives are still
at home, and SO like the birds in the
rhyme "being congenial spirits they flock
together" Mr.. Jones, of Nevada, is presi.

companions meet in nightly session, the
bursts of oratory the silver and similar
questions, would put Webster and Clay in
