ago hosts ceased to ask their guests
long In advance. Three or four days
began to be thought sufficient where
formerly almost as many weeks were
considered Indispensable, Now invita-
tons at short notice are expected.
The most noticeable social novelty
Of the present season has been the
short dinners. Bridge brought them
in. They survive now even when they
are not curtailed tor the sake OF the
game.
THE long dinners used TO be very
much overdone," woman complained
the other day, but it looks now as
If we had run to the other extreme.
Dinners are SO hurried that there Is
time neither for food nor for conyersa-
ton.
Il saw a dinner served last winter
SO quickly that the women left the
table exactly As minutes after they
had sat down in spite OF the eight
courses. That celebrity was all right.
There was variety show coming Oh
after dinner, and we got started az
about 1880 There was more supper
at IL, and we got home in good sea-

almost two weary hours, as II was
too early for anybody to go home,
There are other causes than bridge
for the popularity of the short dinner
to-day. Women who go out great
deal look upon dinners as the stiKest
of entertainments, because they must
sit still and confine themselves to only
NO mems conversation. After awhile
dinners grow very wearisome TO those

Ntchez and Vidala will send a com
mittee to s., Louis to appear before
the Mississppiriyer commission on

has been handed out to those two
towns for the last several years in the
shape of a recommendation for an
appropriation or allotment of $225000
for the Natchez and Vidalia harbors,
Now that congress is likely to confer
authority upon the commission TO
make allojments out of the appropria-
ton whenever Natchez gets an appro-

clined to the belief that It is much bet
ter TO take a run up 10 the meeting
