this being that the representatives Of
the European powers engaged in the
war have been remaining quietly at
home" and, ostensibly, have not ac-
cepted any invitations. This is in line
with the procedure abroad, which de-
crees that a certain degree OF mourn
ing be observed when the men Of the
nation are falling in battle.
On one occasion. however, a Wash
ington hostess persuaded the Ambas-
sador from Russia and Nine. Bakh-
metefF 70 attend a small dinner which
she had planned in their honor. With
the expectation that the hostess would
have sufficient tact TO give the dinner
neither advertisement nor notOrlety,
Nine. Bakhmeteff accepted the invita-
ton and a date was fixed for the func-
ton. On the morning Of the day set
for the dinner one of the Washington
papers carried in its society columns
the announcement that The Russian
Ambassador and Nine. Bakhmetef will
be the guests Of honor at a dinner 70
be given this evening by Mr.. and Mrs.
SO-and-So.'
Strategic Retreat.
Before noon the hostess received a
short and exceedingly formal note,
written on the stationery Of the I'M
perial Russian Embassy, 10 the effect
that IN. and Nine. Bakhmctef regret
ted exceedingly that a sudden and I'M
perative call to New York would pre-
vent their attendance at dinner jhat
evening
The Russian Ambassador and fis
wife actually made a hurried trip 20
New York rather than fracture their
previously announced intention OF not
"going out" incidentally, there is one
Washington hostess whose board will
not soon be graced by the Bakhmeteffs,
no matter when the war ends.
The ambassadors and attaches Of the
various embassies, however. are not the
only ones TO be affected by the rigid
line drawn between the nations at war.
II touches every one connected with
the countries with a seriousness which
increases the further one descends the
social scale. The ambassadors of two
warning nations might possibly nod for
mally If they met face 10 face; the
servants Of the ambassadors would
most likely mutter an epithet and
march on with their heads in the air.

Particularly is this air Of open hos
tility noticeable in Dupont Circle the
camping ground for all the children of
the foreign legations and their nurses

NO EXTRA "EATS" FOR
CONNECTS THANKSGIVING

Jackson, Miss, Nov 1f-State con-
yicts on the various convict farms Of
Mississippi will have no extra leafs"
in the way of delicacies, such as fruits,
cakes and candies, on Thanksgiving
Day, although it had been the inten-
ton of the prison trustees to give
them an extra spread.
When the trustees met Saturday in
special session to look over bids OF
merchant to furnish delicacies for a
Thanksgiving feast it was ascertain.
ed the cost han up so high that it was
considered advisable to call off the
extras the appropriation for the
year not being sufficient to justify
the expenditure. All bids, therefore,
were rejected.
The trustees, at this meeting, took
out insurance policies on the cotton
that has been ginned and which still
remains to be sold, amounting to q
500 bales. The policies were divided
among number of insurance agents,
and aggregate the sum of $4,000.
Only $50 bales of the 1915 crop have
been sold. and there are $500 on hand,
and ginned. 1t is expected that the
