London's Bargain Parties.

The Stiffness Of fashionable amuse-
ments almost passes belief. Last winter
the rage was book teas. It was not n
very intellectual fashion; but at least
it presupposed familiarity, not indeed
with literature. but, at all events. with
the names on the covers of books. The
latest frivolity has not even that ex-
cuse. The idea is that competing guests
should contend who should lay out Il
small sum Of money so as to get most
for it. The purchases have to be made,
brought and exhibited, and the amuse-
ment consists i'll the arrival of each COM
petitor with these achievements of a
well-considercd economy, and the effect
produced as each comes up to compete
All have to start fair, and so each in
weston is allowed the same capital.
This is arbitrarily fixed at one penny.
The other night a lady arrived with
the sheets of the largest newspaper that
a penny could purchase pinned over, and
indeed covering, her dress. As she
rustled up the room it seemed victory
was secure. But when human intelli-
gence is concentrated on subject
worthy of it the law is progress. The
prize was awarded to gentleman who
arrived with a farthing bit of soap, a
farthing box of matches, a farthing can
die, and farthing's worth of washing
soda. So valuable an idea is not likely
to be let alone. We shall have deyei-
opments of this amusement. It is impos-
sible to say what may await us. But so
far as it has gone, ping pong seems in
tellectual compared with it.-London
