The Smart Set and the Progressive
Potage.

Without going so far as TO imply
that the members of Our always more
or less exclusive circle, known in Va,
rious great cities, and doubtless even
in ''parlor" villages, as the smart
set" are utterly submerged in the Pro-
gressive tidal wave now sweeping
throughout political society, it is quite
certain that the general atmosphere is
refreshingly tinged with the incoming
of numerous Representatives of that
class of the community known as ''the
plain people" There are doubtless any
number of fashionable persons still
keenly interested in politics at home
and diplomatic representation abroad
but, on the other hand, it becomes
more and more apparent as Our Ma
tional Capital passes from the leonine
month of March to these balny, if un-
certain, April days, that the qualihca-
tons recently held essential in certain
posts under the government, both at
home and abroad, are no longer con-
sidered a sine quo non.
The smart set" in spite of the
popular impression to the contrary,
embraces a large number of people
whose wealth and obvious prediction
for amusement, both in doors and out,
do not debar them from either the or
binary excellencies or the average de-
fects of our common humanity There
are great many so-called smart
people who are distinctly clever into
the bargain; there are those, indeed,
whose interest in the most practical
affairs of life and in the amelioration
of social conditions among those less
fortunate serve as solid background
for their frivolous forms of recrea-
ton.

the tango or the sublimated turkey
trot IN ballroom, that he is not an
able man of business, or that he does
not possess remarkable qualities in
statecraft and diplomacy, but it is, un-
fortunately, the case that these orna-
ments of restricted circle are sur
rounded by considerable number of
light-headed individuals whose worship
of the golden calf blinds them to the
possession of anything save mere
money, and that man or a woman in
their eyes is measured by the exact
ability and willingness to entertain
From this essentially sordid standpoint
there are only two classes-those who
live in big houses and those who do
not. A man or a woman is gagged in
the character of host or hostess, and
