Now we have progressive 1dinnersl
We have had progressive euchres, pro-
gressive ~salmagsndi parties and pro-
gressiye what not, but the progressive
dinner is brand new. Only two or three
have as yet been given in New York,
but they have been pronounced SO alto
gether delightful that the innovation
will unquestionably develop into a lad.
Society, you know, is ever quick to
grasp at anything which tendsto relieve
the monoeony of things.
The progressive dinner really explains
itself. 1t is just like any other progress
i've game. The guests are seated at
small tables, and at the end Of each
course half of them "rnove up" In this
way there is a constant changing of
faces, and conversation is never suffered
to lag.
To show how new the progressive
dinner is it is only necessary to state
that it Is the o%utgrowth Of a breakfast
recently given in Washington by Mrs.
Davis, wife Of Senator Cushman *.
Davis CT Minnesota, in honor OF Mrs.
Dole, wife of the Hawaiian president.
The several tables at this especial fnnc-
tion were grouped a6,out the room, the
largest being occupied during the first
course by the hostess and guest of honor
alone. This left four places vacant,
which were filled in turn by guests from
the other tables, so that every n in
the room during the 10 courses was af-
forded the opportunity Of chatting with
the hostess and guest of honor.
The plan ct the progressive dinner,
however, is somewhat different. The
guests are placed at small tables, seat
ing four persons. AT the conclusion OF
the first course the hostess taps a bell.
That is the signal for the grand
change"
Two OF the diners. a lady and gentle-
man, facing, say, north and south. move
up to the next table, from which two
others have moved up, and SO on until
every table has a new personnel. The
pair remaining at each table change
their positions SO that they are no longer
facing each other. and in this way when
the end Of the second course is reached
no two of the guests are permitted to
remain at the sane table. New York
