Tea and Insincerity.

New York Evening Post
Sincerity must be admitted to be a virtue
sadly lacking from most papers read before
women's clubs.
There is always too much Of an attempt
to glorify the feminine and too little
Of helpful criticism in such articles. They
deal with far-away and abstruse subjects.
and leave untouched the matters that are
coming up daily and that will bear any
amount of Improvement
The insincerty of our social life. for in
stance. is a subject that women ought to
be deeply interested in. but it is allowed
TO grow and flourish without any attempt
10 bring about a better state of affairs.
1t is often urged that sincerity is in
compatible with the small niceties of life.

About weddings.

Wednesday remains and doubtless always
will be the most popular of the days Of the
week for weddings. From time immemorial
this day has been chosen by the majority
of brides for their wedding day. There
seems 10 be no good reason for altering this
tradition. yet Tuesday is slowly gaining ia
vor as a day for weddings. In fact Tues
day seems best 70 meet the approval of the
fashionable set and there is a possibility
that before long Wednesday will have TO
share a goodly number of its matrimonial
events with the day that precedes it.
One of the bridesmaids of a recent we'd
ding has Offciated eleven times in her life
at such interesting occasions. tbs fact in
itself might mean that the maiden was get
ting well along in years. yet in this case
the truth Of the matter is much more COM
plimentary. Her youth. beauty and numer-
friends easily account for her popular
ity in such affairs.
Women who in their own cOnceit alone.
are society sweIls. are sometimes great
source of amusement to their friends, who
understand just how little right they have
to any pretensions in the social line. But
such a "would-be society woman it was
who remarked the other day. all uncon-
scious of the faux pas she making:
yes; my daughters wedding was very
quiet, but very elegant; we just invited a
few friends and everything was as quiet
and ostentatious as could be-"
XXX
A bride and bridegroom recently played a
clever trick in their efforts 10 elude their too
devoted bridal party. which insisted on es-
corting them to the railroad station on their
wedding night. The carriage containing
the happy pair had not been able to get out
of sight of the one carrying the pur-
suers, with the usual burden OF rice and
old shoes After being driven all over town
with this end in view the newly-married
couple gave instructions to the coachman TO
stop at the house of friend. This destina-
ton reached, they alighted and the carriage
drove Off much to the disappointment Of
those who were watching near by. When
the front door closed upon the objects Of
their pursuit. the unwelcOme bridal party
returned sadly TO the scene of the wedding
festivities. Meanwhile the bride and bride
groom left by the rear door OF the house
they had entered. walked around the corner
and resumed their seats III the carriage.
Congratuiatipg themselves on their lucky
escape. they were driven in triumphant SOL
itude TO their destination, where. with the
nonchalance $50 they said) of old married
people, they passed through the station to
their train.

Social Etiquette at the Capital.

Washington Letter.
Mrs. Hay, wife of the secretary of state,
has inaugurated a code of official etiquette
which must be followed by the women of
the official set in calling on the women of
the diplomatic corps. She has taken this
step because for years there has been fric-
ton between the foreigners and official
society, and the claims put forward by
both have caused unpleasantness and con-
fusion.
The wife of the secretary Of state con-
suited Mrs. Roosevelt and the Cabinet la
dies before announcing her program. Her
first announcement was made when the
Signora Mayor Des Planches, wife of the
Italian ambassador, arrived in Washing
ton. Mrs Hay wrote TO the ladies of the
cabinet to the wives of the justices and of
the senators and several of the representa-
tives telling them that the wife of the am
basSadOr would be at home on such a date.
She will pursue the same course when
Madame CambOn wife of the French am
baSadOr, arrives next week. For the flrSt
time il is definitely laid down that the Cabi-
net hOstesses and all other ladies in official
life who mingle in society must make mi
tial calls on the ambassadors wives The
wives of ministers and all minor diplomats
must call on the Cabinet ladies and on the
senator's wives FIRST The wives or rep
resentatives are expected to call on the
diplomatic ladies first, and this is especially
expected of those ladies whose husbands
served on the committee of foreign af-
fairs.
Mrs. Hays programme has not been uni
versally adopted but the large proportion
of official hostesseS have accepted her rul-
ing. Mrs. Fuller still maintains that as
wife of the chief justice of the United
States she will call on on one but the Presi-
dents wife. Mrs. David b. Henderson, wife
OF the speaker of the house, has assumed
Another controversy
over the status of those ladies who are
not wives of senators and yet preside over
senatorial homes. The wives of the foreign
ministers Will not call first on Miss Kean,
sister of the New Jersey senator, because
they assert she is not the wife of a sena-
tor and cannot be entitled to same rank.
Miss kean viii not yield, so there is a
deadlock. The same is true of Miss Cock
rem daughter OF the Missouri senator.

THE BEARS IN THE
YELLOWSTONE PARK

In his latest book, Ernest Seton.
Thompson makes mention of n
fact not generally known, namely,
that nobody is allowed to carry a
gun in the Yellowstone Park. This
fact causes nervousness in some
visitors who do not bnow the habits
OF animals very well, as they sec the
bears and other supposedly feroci-
Gus beasts walking about, scunling
with each other or coming to poke
IN the garbage pile outside the
kitchen door ior tidbits. Mr.
Thompson states that the bears act
ually come 10 the back door Of the
hotel for scraps and arc rarely dis
appointed. He also says that during
the days that he spent in The park
be was repeatedly in close proximi-
ty TO bears and never heard one Of
them approach him. Somehow or
other, their big velyet-padded feet
were set down in such a way as not
to produce the slightest rustic Of a
sound This would certainy be dis.
composing to the nerves Of a timid
person.
But Mr.. Thompson sat in the
woods among these bears all Of one
day and was not molested in any
way though he confesses to have
had some fears Of the big grizzly
which at ono time came charging
down apparently at the very place
where be was hidden. 1t turned
out however, that the grizzly merely
wanted 20 see what was i'm a tomato
can nearby. All this goes to prove
what the Hindu sages say, that wild
animals, even the most fcrocious,
are not apt 20 modest man il he
does not arouse their animosity and
excite their combativeness by con
tinued hostile demonstration. In
the long process Of evolution wild
animals have learned the superiority
OF man in practical ways and &C
quircd a fear Of him which usually
results in their giving him a wide
berth. IL is said, however, that in
regious where the larger carnivora
are left unmolcJed by man, they
show little II any desire TO take the
offensive toward him, though they
are generally too shy TO make
friends The Yellowstone Park
experiment seems TO indicate this.
