TarIy Guests.

The old moot question as to whether
social engagements should be held to
the minute, or not has been settled at
last by visiting Englishwoman Of
high degree, and the etiquette of the
British court has been introduced into
fashionable New York. For a dinner
party the minutes of grace allowed
tardy guests, the excuses made for
her who comes in before the hostess
herself arrives in the drawing room.
and the surprise OF arriving just on the
stroke of the clock are all done away
with. Exactly three minutes after the
time mentioned in the invitations sent
out, whether one OF all the guests
have arrived, the host leads the way
to the dining room. These three min
utes are allowed for the women to take
off wraps i'll the dressing room and
undergo the process of greeting or
Introduction proper before the meal is
announced. Tardy guests must suffer
the modification of paying excuses to
the seated hostess. For luncheons the
same rule holds good, as we'll as for
breakfasts. At wedding receptions
half an hour is the time allowance
given; and all these rules are printed
on a leather-fram card that now
hangs in every private carriage,

JOHNSON WAS DRUNK.

Condition of Lincoln's vice-Presi-
dent at the lnauGeration.
Noah Brooks tells the following
story in his personal "reminiscences Of
Lincoln in the April number of tho
Century:
All eyes were turned on the main en-
trance, where. precisely on the stroke
of u, appeared Andrew johnson, Vice
President elect, arm in arm with Ham
nibal Hamlin, whose term of office was
now expiring. They took seats to-
gether on the dias of the presiding Of
ficer and Hamlin made a brief and
sensible speech, and Andrew Johnson,
whose face was extraordinary red
was presented to take the oath. It is
needless to say here that the unfortu-
nate gentleman, who had been very
i'll, was not altogether sober at this
important moment Of his life. In Or
der to strengthen himself for the ply
| sical and mental ordeal through which
he was about to pass he had taken
! stiff drink whisky~in=th the room of
| the Vice-President, and the warmth
| of the senate chamber, with possibly
other physical conditions, had sent the

NV. Seward" ETC., without the Off
cial handles to their names. Forget
ting Mr.. Welles' name, he said, "and
you too. Mp. Then leaning over
| to Colonel Forney he said, what is
the name Of the secretary of the
navy?" and then continued as though
nothing had happened. Once in L
While from the reporters gallery, I
could observe Hamlin nudging John
son from behind, reminding him that
the hour for the Inauguration cere-
mony had passed. The speaker kept
on although President Lincoln sat be-
fore him, patiently waiting for his ex-
| traordinary harangue to be over.
The study of the faces below him
were interesting. Seward was as
bland and serene as a summer day;
Stanton appeared to be petrifed;
Welles' face was unusually void of eX-
preston; Speed sat with his eyes clos
ed; Dennison was red and white by
turns. Among the union senators Hen
ry Wilson's face was flushed; Sumner
wore a saturnine and sarcastic smile,
and most Of the others turned and
twisted in their senatorial chairs as if
in long drawn agony. OF the supreme
bench, Judge Nelson only was appar-
emily moved, his lower jaw being
dropped clean down in blank horror.
Chase was marble, adamant granite
in immobility until Johnson turned his
back upon the senate to take the oath,
when he exchanged glances with Mel
son, who then closed up his mouth.
When Johnson had repeated inaud-
bly, the oath of Office, his hand upon
the book, he turned the Bible in his
hand, and facing the audience said,
with loud, theatrical voice and ges-
ture, Il kiss this book in the face Of
my nation Of the United States"

connected. There are no stone walls

Upon her place at Rhinebeck Mrs.
Astor has another golf field. But here
the course planned especially for Mr..
Astor and his friends, is very difficult.
and often there is climbing to be done
over hedges, and there is one place
where ponies are in readiness for a
water-jump. and at this spot there is
also a tiny ferry-boat to take the "cad-
dies across and those whose ambi-
tions do not lead toward the Jump

Miss Fairs "lofts'' has been estimated
at 200 feet. A grain of salt may be

A golfer who is gaining confidence
is Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt, who be-
gan last summer after much coaxing
upon the part of her brother, who, by
the way, is very Skillful with the
"drive;;" and from her mamma, who
wishes to teach her self-assurance.

The place of her first attempt was the
private golf links of Cornelius Van

address your ball, then drive with all
your might, lofting a little," were the
directions given her by her brother.
And the result was that the heiress-
beginner sent her ball only just few
feet off the "tee," but with such good
aim that it was in a straight line with
the hole. Her ambitious caddy coach

she found herself able to play good

New York correspondent of the Globe
Democrat.
It would be difficult to tell where
the best golfng grounds are in this
country. 1t would be a hard matter
to beat the Washington Park grounds
in ln@Chicago-very hard, indeed; yet the
Essex County Club at Manchester-by
the-Sea, boasts that it's attractions are
unequaled by any golf field in the
country; while at New port there is
now a club house and grounds that,
In money at all events overlap any

St. Louis whose fame for golf tourna-
ments has spread far and wide, and as
far south as New Orleans. and travel

again to pleasure-loving Geolgia are
other links none the less famous. And
with all these the mi'lionaires of the
country have planned their own

professional fields, there arc private
ones all claiming to be the best
The truth of the matter is that one
golf ground can not be compared with
another, any more than the blonde
sweetness Of a confidentially charming
woman can be compared to the bru-
nette dash of the independent type of
girl. Even so the golf links that just
suit one party of golfers would be
scoffed at by another; and the field
wholely admirable by one would be
looked at as impossible by the next
party.
The ideal golf ground for mixed par
ties-men and women-is the New
port field. 1t was planned by Mrs.

fell! The wind next rushed it off down
the stream, and, after chasing it as
far as the links allowed, it had to be
given up for lost and a new ball sub
Stituted. In consequence of losing the
ball at this bunker it was named
"Gertrude's Dilemma, and has been
avoided since by players.
Several society women like to watch
the progress of the game from a bi-
cycle, following the ball down the
links and around the course of the
home-stretch again. Miss Louise Nc
Allister is one Of these, and another
is Mrs. James Bloodgood, who is very
expert at golf herself.
The method Of the bicyclers is this:
Stationing themselves upon their
wheels, they wait for the first drive
and then the second; then wheeling
off as fast as they can, they race with
the caddies and take up Il station not
far from where the balls have landed.
When the next drives are made they
follow, and, finally, they establish
themselves upon the putting ground
to watch the delicate operation Of
landing the balls in the hole. When
it is time to start from the second
teeing place they are on hand, and so

played except at Irvington, where,
however, she collects her friends
round her in great numbers, some
times having house party of twenty,
to be reinforced by anOthe:: twenty
in a fortnight. Her sister Anna, now
the much-discussed Countess Castel-
1aine, is a little fractious at golf. In
England last summer she was <diSliked
on that account. She tires at the first
200 yards, and does not enjoy getting
her ball out of bad situations. Once
she gave a terrific downward stroke
that made the rubber globe dart up
ward and backward to great height.
OF course it broke the window Of a
small farm house shed. and, although

Miss Gould had no objection to re-
placing the window, it disgusted her
with the game. Her sister-in-law, Mrs.
George Gould, does not play golf, but
is an enthusiastic spectator, and, with
field glasses, watches the links until
the players disappear in the shrub
berry and reappear Oh the home course
again.
The golf gown need not be built for
swinging the arms as in tennis, nor
need it be Wide-skirted for running.
Its requirements are lightness, ease
and style, especially the last. Several
very beautiful golf gowns are now in
course of construction for society
golfers. The young ladies go in for
the fshwife's skirt, which is the
greatest favorite of all the models.

the faculties for learning, sometimes
make mistakes, like other people; and
thus 1t was that Miss Vanderbilt
earned the ignominious distinction Of
having 'bunker' named after her.
The bunker was small stream, and
just before the stream was reached
there lay a pile of sod Under this
sod Miss Vanderbilt drove the ball.
And for a while it refused to come
out, but upon consultation with caddy
and much instruction from him, she
made drive at it with a "cleet." Up
it came in response to the savage
iron-headed thing, and high into the
air it went. There was a brisk wind
blowing, and, Of course, it had to carry
