affairs arranged in the name of sweet
charity had not made almost hourly requisi-
ton on the fashionable purse. The wedding
parties of course, were extremely interest
ing to those closest related, but, like nearly
all the other good things since the year be-
gan, were intended for ana enjoyed by a
limited number. The usual round of dinner
giving has continued, although the winter
activity even in this regard has greatly
lessened. Many well-known movers in
fashionable circles have practically retired
from the hospital list, certainly not be-
cause of less financial ability to shine there
as formerly, since their establishments be-
come every day more elaborate and expen-
sve in other directions.
The humor Of the situation is that never
before were there SO frequent or so high
priced demands in the cause of charity as
have already occurred or are in contempla-
ton this and next month. The ingenuity
in devis1ng money-making ventures with
the least possible expenditure of ready
coin form every day new surprises and ex-
tremely successful ones. The moral of 1t
all is. possibly, that standards are as
changeable in Washington as elsewhere,
and that the way the gay world takes Its
pleasures for a decade, or perhaps two, Is
no guarantee that the whole order may not
be changed in a single day. Perhaps the
return to 1880 and 1860 fashions in MILL
merry and frocks may have something to do
with the social quiet, for everybody could
not have lost money in 'SteeP' last sum-
mer nor suffered by the Baltimore fire, two
explanations worthy of acceptance. At all
events little old-time flourish of trum-
pets. a succession of afternoon teas or any
thing where you meet everybody without a
ticket of admission would be genuine
treat. Perhaps the suburban dwellers will
brighten up the situation before society
scatters for an already settled for summer
quiet by the sea.
The Japanese legation will be considerably
in evidence during next and future weeks,
as the minister has invitations out for a
reception Monday night to the Japanese
commission TO the worlds fair, and has also
in contemplation several dinners.
