can also recall the doings Of a
bright Calcutta hostess. When enter
tanning she has her house divided into
series Of sideshows-good musical
programme in one room. a curio COM
petition in second, cards in a third,
fortune telling In another, and meal
in nth. All these things go on ST.
multaneously so that a guest instinct
lively chooses what he most cares for.
It stands to reason that the large
characterless dinner and card parties
are somewhat deceptive as means OF
entertaining. So often there appears to
be go about them which
IL really only the swirl of shufiling
cards or serving courses. Many q tinid

exempt from the boredom Of the usual
formalsdinner.
Speaking OF these dinner stunts, some
very amusing things are done abroad
of late-lights go out and spooxs come
in. and, in fact, nothing Is considered
too crazy that will create a genuine
laugh and break up the somberness of
eating.
One marvels at times at the seeming
insanity Of some of the New York
novelties" in the form of monkey par
ties, and such things, but they are but
the outcome Of the craving for some
new diversion-the reaction OF the
deadly monotony Of an extra dull sea-
son.
1t is little to be wondered that q
prominent hostess who entertains in
tiresome way Is in secret remarkably
unpopular. People can never forget a
really boring function and certainly
rarely forgive such a thing. Society
nowadays demands such a rigid attend
ance at so many uninteresting affairs,
before one of its followers is sufficiently
firmly established In whatever circle
he Is aiming for to be Independent
enough to go to just those functions
which appeal to him, that 1t Is easily
understood how unoriginal hostesses
are SO often badly treated by their most
desired friends snatching at any elev-
enth-hour excuse to stay home
The social market Is like any other

best. Everything lies open for the
brainy hostess who is content to do her

customs with regard to formal calls
and things make It so much easier to
entertain In this country than in Eng
land.
To q man Of position there is moth
ing more helpful and satisfying than q
wife who IL a clever hostess. Next to
that he is better with one who does
not attempt to do what she does not
understand.
Again and again we hear peopls
hercely criticized because they have
dared, In the privacy OF their own
homes, to venture the remark that
some function to which they were bid
den to be amused was a bore.
How unreasonable this Is! Surely it
Is better TO make up ones mind upon
such a subject and decline further tor
ture-for boring affair is torture 10
the intellectual person-than to go on
namely purring untruthfuf compif-
ments at some otherwise worthy per-
son whom one Is gradually growing TO
hate for the one great reason that he
or she bores.
{ And again and again, let every hos
tess try whatever novelty strikes her
as suitable to the especial guests she IS
about to call together. No matter how
absurd-of course, within certain lin1i-
tations-It apparently is. 1t Is often
some frivolous dainty stunt. done in a
catchy way, that is the hit OF the sea-
son. The American nation Is an ideal
one in which to entertain because its
people love to be amused and are ready
to enter into any lseitimate kind &C

tiresome affairs-the very cheapest
form Of entertaining crowd-San
Francisco will have a social milestone
round it's neck.
If only more Of the ladies who so
scathingly criticize the afternoon card
horror would refuse all invitations
which go against the womanly grain,
this social pest would soon be thing
of the past. And pest indeed is any
thing that can engross day after day
in such a sordid way the time of our
women.
BY all means, II 1t should 80 happen
that a hostess finds herself the center
Of a set all of whom can sit down
and enjoy a quiet game Of cards
without entering into the silent little
quibblings which come UP in a big
crowd, let her give a nice little old
fashioned evening card party. but let
her first assure herself that the par
ticular guests have not repeatedly ex-
pressed an abhorrence for that es-
pecial form of entertainment. The art
of asking each guest for the particu-
lar kind of function she most likes IL
one Of the chief knacks Of the clever
hostess.
In London one clever little woman
sends her cards out as follows:
Mrs. B. requests the pleasure Of
the company Of Mrs. k at
(1) A ball on the 18th OF May.
(2) A card party on the 18th of
May.
Is) A musicale on the 26th Of May.

adieu, I'm nightly obliged to who
ever 'phoned you ALL I've had great
time and will take the hint and ask
you all again"
The anger Of the average British
lion at "the impertinence Of that fell
low who telephoned' after he had po-
litely borne with his uninvited guests
would have been terrific.
But to return to the subject OF en-
tertaining, 1t has frequently been re-
marked that there are so few outdoor
functions In San Francisco.
What, on the succession Of lovely
days we had in February and March,
could have been more healthful and
delightful than garden party--fancy
dress or otherwise-or miniature lawn
fair. or a pastoral play? To be sure
this-as far as the private residences
are concerned-is q somewhat garden
less city, but what would have been
finer than a tally-ho drive of a few
teams to a billy tea in some remote
corner of the Presidio4 or park? Or
say a boating excursion to one Of the
charming spots round the bay? The
weather here Is much more reliable
than in many places where these things
are common, instead Of almost unheard
of, and in no country that can re-
call does the rain come so obligingly
in the night. Then the telephones can
always postpone an event in case of
sudden emergencies.
There are two great drawbacks in
San Francisco's excellent system Of en-
tertainment-one the lack of outdoor
amusements, and the other "the ID
cards." as a well known army oficer
puts 1t.
AS long as wealthy hosteeses are
content to give monotonous repeti-
tions of nerve-racking, brain-fagging,
The San Francisco call., 1905-05-21

1t is an easy thing to secure repu,
tation for originality-and as easy tc
lose 1t. Again, to quote London--se
conveniently remote-there is there q
lady with magnificent mansion, who
was the first to buy phonograph. She
got IL into her head, and, believe still
has it there, that the art of entertain
ing consisted of turning on this old
sound disorder for an hour or so, and
then sumptuously feeding her friends
The joke of her set, when her cards are
out, is
Not even the feed in the latter half
Can make up for the darned old photograph.
Some things, of course, never lose
their charm as means of entertainment
Simply because they yield to so many
varieties of presentation. There is mu-
sic, dancing and fortune telling-the
latter as entertaining to the unbeliever
as TO the most confirmed follower of its
psychic charms.
In fact, fortune telling, particularly
by some novel method, is especially ac-
ceptable in such cosmopolitan city as
San Francisco. One is struck with the
et's-hear-what-h he -has-to-say air that
pervades all branches of society when
fortune>teller appears.
This city is like Paris, where a person
who has not looked into some form of
the mystic-either with the purpose of
disproving or accrediting the same-is
considered weird" In Paris and many
OF the leading pleasure loving centers
most hostesses are themselves clever
amateur psychics.
But TO return to the subject of music.
although the remarkable attendances
at the grand opera shows that there is
quite percentage of real music low
ers in this city, there is a tragic Or
pheum worship which is unaccounta bly
general, and the few really good con-
certs which for some reason do not
receive societys sanction are usually
presented to very sparse audiences. One
misses the fortnightly performances by
the strong amateur Philharmonic and
other musical societies which abound
IN every other city of equal importance
and culture in the world AS matter
of fact, in the months ] have spent in
this up-to-date town, do not recollect
having heard the word oratorio uttered.
There are so many excellent musicians
in this city that hos1esses could give
regular musical feasts at their "at
homes"
Again, considering the number of
brilliant functions given, dancing is
also almost unknown. AT various times
I have been professionally in touch
with social matters in nearly all the
English speaking countries of the
world, but cannot recall a season In
which there have been so few dances
that is for the number of other func-
tions given-as the one almost over in
San Francisco.

are so popular in many of the jolliest

In less mercurial country many of

this happy knack of entering into all

makes America a paradise for the orig

Maori Girls Swimming Feat.

A story of a plucky girl comes from
far-off New Zealand. \ Maori girl,
aged 16, was crossing Lake Tampa in a
canoe, and the occupants were left strug-
three and ten years. When fully half
mile from shore a squall capsized the
canoe, and the occupants were strug-
Cling in the water. 1t was impossible
to right the canoe, but the girl did not
lose her possession. She placed the
children as securely as possible on the
bottom of the boat, and then slipping
off her wet skirts, she took the towing
rope in her teeth and swan TO the shore,
with the canoe and its precious cargo.
All Maori girls are powerful swimmers,
and the feat would hardly have been
possible to a girl of another nation.

Bystander: Advertiser office
In Sundays paper you request any
one who could do SO to give you in
formation as to a prediction which
covered the wars of the past fifty
years, and predicts one of the future.
The article to which you refer was
printed in, believe, the Philadelphia
Post, in 1S50-51 or 50.
1t was reported as vision beheld
by, if my memory serves, General
Jackson. He resting in his room be-
held the shade of Washington enter,
reckoning him to follow to some
height, 1 forget where From this
place the shade pointed out to Jack
son in the far distance a cloud of
smoke rising above some portion of
spread, map fashion before them.

an old file of the Philadelphia paper I

This letter is to give you informa ton

A MONKEY wHEELMAN.
The Tiny Simian Enjoys a Spin as
Much as His Master.

Not content with having dog, cat,
white rats, rabbits, turtles and other
pets, Aleck Munchweiler, downtown
boy, purchased a monkey few weeks
ago. Because of the little animals
penchant for drinking water from a
hydrant, he has been named Spigots.
Spigots has developd mania fer cy-
cling. His master has arranged little
seat on the front of the wheel, and here
the monkey sits, dressed in pair of red
boomers. The queer pair were out on
their wheel the other day and attracted
much attention. Spisofs enjoyed him
self hugely, and looked with disdain
ON the dogs that barked as he rode by.

All went well until the wheelman got
as far as Broad and Wharton street, and
there Spigots attempted to stand up
in his seat, getting frightened at two
DEMONSTRATING CANNES, which were
springing up at him. The result was
that he fell and had his right foot run
