Travelling Parties.
Washington Star.

Washington Star.
The travelling party is novel mode Of
entertainment which is being received with
enthusiasm by the socially inclined. The
party is easily arranged after this fashion:
AS the guests enter each woman receives a
railroad ticket, or, rather, fac-simile of
one, of home manufacture, bearing the
name Of a town or summer resort, such
Buffalo, Lake George. Chicago or Sara
toga. The men are given duplicates of these
tickets. Each then goes in search of the
guest holding the double of his own ticket.
The woman and man then seek out small
table, of which there are number, ar
ranged as for progressive eucnre. Two
chairs are placed at each, and the guests
sit down In pairs at them. If the tickets
have the word Buffalo" upon them the
woman and man proceed TO write together
a description of an imaginary journey to
that place, making IL as humorous liter
airy in its character as possible. Previous
to the guests beginning TO write these de-
scriptions a young man in the uniform of
a porter goes through the rooms and dis
tributes pads and paper.
Another amusing feature of the evening
Is the advent of a train boy in uniform,
who calls out fine candies" and from a
basket proceeds to supply the guests at the
tables with small boxes of confectionery.
The time limit for the getting up of the
stories is from twenty minutes to half an
hour. The stories are then read, and the
guests vote on the most acceptable ones,
the porter coming around and collecting
the slips of parer in a basket. After the
