certain people always select on which

rank of the people or the street on
which they live is usually sufficient TO
determine their day.
WashingtOn's Formal days"
This schedule does not vary. For ex-
ample. the justices of the Supreme
Court and all the judges of the courts
of Washington receive on Mondays, as
do also the residents of Capitol Hill
Tuesday Is the day for the members Of
the House OF Representatives. the own
ers Of houses on X Street and part Of
Rhode Island Avenue. The Cabinet re-
ceives on Wednesday. and also many or
the Rhode Island Avenue people. Thurs
day is reserved for the Senators and 1
street. The Cave DweIlers" receive on
Fridovs and Connecticut Avenue on
Saturdays.
Members Of The Swift Set" who are
generally people Of wealth and position
not closely identified with the official
set. select a day most convenient 10
their section II they live on X street
they usually take Tuesdays during the
season. II they live on some street that
have no particular day they are governed
IN their decision by the people or the
official set living near them. If their
next door neichbor is a Senator they re-
ceive on Thursdays as a matter OF con-
yenfence 10 their callers. II there are
Justices o. the Supreme Court or several
Judges living near they are at home on
Monday.
In passing il might be well 10 correct
an erroneous impression which prevails
outside If Washington TO the effect that
the Smart and Official Sets regard the
Cave Dwellcrs with contempt. The Cave
Dweuers are members of old Washing
ton society, who, for one reason or an
other, do not keep up with the changing
administrations, but rather hold them
selves aloOf from the passing turmoil
Their attitude is very much that of the
best society in Charleston and other
Southern cities. where family is consid-
cred more important than wealth or
temporary power
Attitude of Cave Dwellers.
The many cannot but resent" this
dignihed position, and hence the term
Cave DweIIer was applied to the old in
habitants as an epithet indicating con-
tempt 1t has come 10 be considered the
highest compliment by many Washing
tonians One is reminded OF the witty
saying of an English writer. 'BOur-
&c dis. ne makes one OF his characters
say, lis az epithet which the rlff-ran
apply TO what is respectable, and the
aristocracy TO what is decent As
matter of fact, the position OF the Cave
DweIlers is most dignihed. They refuse
TO call on the new additions TO society
until they have met them through mu-
teal friends.
