THE LATE FUNCTION.

American society leaders should introduce the
fashion of early hours. and have their dinners at
Z and dances at 9, the in tine good
old days. " said a fashionable matron recently.
Then really did their duty TO their hos:esses
and accepted invitation TO dance for what it
was intended. not. now. merely a joatng
place where they get good supper amuse
themselves for hour by standing around the
doors. and leaving the cotillon begins
and they needed.
'Hostesses place prohibtive prices on their wares
and then expect them 10 sell-that IS say. they
are making their functions later and later, and
expect men to be as keen about dancing The
young women. who can sleep off their fatgues the
next day. These good women do not to

day Women create conditions themselves that
are impossible. and then expect us to overcome
them. If stay for one of these late cotilons 1

sense Of my social obligation. We realize that all

Sensible girls are making joke of the stua-
ton. which they see is the fault of the young
men. and which does arise from want Of
appreciation OF their charms, and when partners
lacking they dance stag with equanimity.
This consists in taking the seat the coton leader
alots TO them. and choosing a partner TO dance
with when their turn comes, a much better ar
rengement than TO go home disconsolate or wait
for their carriage in the dressing room. which
formerly seemed their only resource. II is great

realize how they show the trend OF their thoughts
by their gestures. The constant touches to their

look in every available mirror. and, more than ALL
the preoccupied look and peTfunctory smile that
