LOVELY WOMAN'S ' LATEST FAD Finds Pleasure in the Tangled Mazes of Political Economy. FROM AD\M \ SMITH TO HENRY GEORGE A Washington llnteM lc crll > r How tlio Blunt Cirrocl" Table * In tlio United .Stilted Are Sot IVinlnlno A Hit I r 8. Wo nro constantly told Hint this Is the tck'titlltc day the day when the geolo gist proves the ago of the earth by Its Htrutii , when the astronomer confidently points to c.'uiulB in Mars and when the imycbologiut thinkH ho explain * the tolo- IwUiit ! mystery of thought current ! ) : but Bill I nioro Is it the day of political econ omy , i-ays the Now York Herald , that humanitarian Hclcnco which hooks to know \vitli unerring accuracy how the groatctit good matcriullv may result to the greatest number , owing its exist ence to this the nineteenth century , of which it is the most characteristic de velopment. It has become the popular study of the musses and is passing into a cult with the classes. \Vo listen to the wisdom of Adam Smith , ponder over the alarming predic tions i > f MaUhusand rattier incline to in- doi-ho Henry George's equal distribution of good things , but at the end of it ull wo continue to chow the ciui of aimless meditation , without having come much nearer the solution of fair equivalents for time and labor or the vexed question of land privileges. Hut tlio study and discussion of politi cal economy us an intellectual fad is not monopolized by the bdiolar and the la borer. By no means. The realist in the realm of Notion and tlio idealist in the ranks of womanhood bridge the mid dle distance between these two. IIo\\olls caught the fever some tirno ago. and both in "A Hazard of Now for tunes" and his latest book bo pits capital and labor one against tlio other , himself half committed to the socialistic point of view. Ho and Bellamy eat spaghetti in n little restaurant of the Italian quarter nf Boston , and seem to feel that they are daringly progressive , but beyond this uvidencc of liberty , equality and frater nity there is nothing to prove that either of "these dabblers in political economy has conceived a practical plan for the ledistributlon of earth , air and water. Tiie girls , too the dear , busy girls are taking up tlio stuny in dead earnest. Quito recently ono of the most charming young women of our real Vanity Fall a tall , willowy girl , with a peach complex ion--read a wonderfully well written paper before her admiring sibters. Von will hear some of tlio enthusiastic economists bay that ono ought not to spend money for Roquefort cheese , because - cause it is an "exclusive" luxury : but that ono may buy costly paintings unit bric-a-brac because they are "inclusive , " meaning that in eating the cheese you tret the whole pleasure yourself , while in fcottintr up tlio French pictures , the bisque kittens and impossible pugs be fore tiie admiring eyes of tlio bricklayer who may pcop between the parted cur tains Of your front window you include to him his share of happiness in them. Oh , yes , ii& the correct thing now to bo well up in political economy. It has BtrnckrjiB 'harder than the Ibsen or 1'ador wski craze. From the highest stat'oYmanjand deepest thinkers , as well us from the callow debaters of every vil lage lyceum , wo hear tlio-ohanges rung on "overproduction , " "artificial stand ards1 "primitive rights , " and the rest of It. Tha kindergartens will probably take up tlio fad this coming winter. * * * The ways of tlio Washington woman nro past finding out. You never know what she will do. Sometimes she affects a rapt interest in polities. She haunts the galleries at tlio capital ; lunches with the statesmen of the family at the restaurant therein ; has favorite bills for which she lobbies , and discovers deadly antipathies for other measures which can bo supported only at the cost of her friendship. And then , again , she nonchalantly proclaims her indifference to the affairs of state ; thinks it plebeian to go to the capitol , and taboos the discussion of politics in her presence. Sometimes she speaks scornfully of Washington society , writes a eorro- ( jpondont of the Now York Sun , and ex plains with an air of being bored to death , that her enforced residence there cannot end too quickly to suit her And , when you summon your moat blaso and discontented expression to moot her the next time withal , behold ! you learn that Washington is a queen among cities , and that no other society in the land can bo compared with that of the city of magnificent distances. In ono of these recent bursts of oiithu- Biasm a Washington woman expressed herself on dinners ns they are given at the national capital. "Hero In Wash ington , " she declared , "probably the most 'correct' tables in the United States are sot , and if you would know how your feast should bo spread , pay heed unto the words of a Washingtoniah who has seen many administrations and placed her feet beneath countlessdlnnor- laden mahoganies. " Then she tolls how this acme of cor rectness Is to bo attained. She begins with the llowwH. She cautions pros pective dinnor-givors against overloadIng - Ing their tables with ( lowers , especially those wlioso heavy fragrance is not a pleasant accompaniment to roast and ( talari. A sluglo long-stemmed rose at the plato of every lady , a boutonniere by the plato of each gentleman , a few care lessly scattered roses , and , if the decora tions bo high , two tall Blonder vases of roses with ferns of drooping green around the base ; tbeso are all-sulllclent. Next sbo lights tha lamps for you ; a very high ono in the center and a small one at each end ; or , if you prefer , low candelabra , Tlio lights are placed on tin embroidered scarf stretched diagon ally across tlio table , instead , as for merly , from side to side. The French fashion of arranging tlio dinner table Is to bet it completely , with the exception iif biich dishes us are brought in hot , nnd ices and salads. The English , on tliecontrary.do not have tlio fruithsweets and dessert brought in until the last courbo has boon cleared away. The cen tral fruit basket is passe. Throe or four small dishes scattered hero and there or half hidden in the green ferns around the center lamp , are more cor rect according to Washington canons of taste. If you wiBli to have a truly capltallno urrangemcnt of the glasses , knives , forks and MO on , attend to these rules. At the riirht place a medium-sized knlfo for the entree , next to that a smaller knife for the roast , and then a some what smaller ono tor the game. At the left nut an oyster fork ; then the mcdlum- Bizcd ono for tlio entree , the largo one for the roast , and tlio smaller one for the game. It reuds like the btory of the throe bears. Evidently they do not have llsh at Washington dinners , or , tit least , make no special provisions for lorvlng and eating them. The soup ) ioon should bo placed on the loft next the plato. Not moro than four forks uro allowable by each plutu on the table at once. "Between the roost and the game a Roman punch Is served In the most ox- quhltoh' bubblo-llko bits of Carlsbad glass. " paid the Washington woman. Saucers and souvenir spoons accompany , the glnises. The little broad and butter plates , which apparently still ob tain at Washington dinners , arc laid at the beginning and loft till dessert is served. "Now , the glassware ! " exclaimed the Washington woman , warming to the work of description. "Cut gla ? has been and always will bo absolutely cor rect , .lust at present , however , if you nro tlio fortunate possessor of a sot of tlio beautiful and fragile Carlsbad ware , you can use that and bo sure that , you are right , but with your cut ghw * you need have no fear of being behind the tlmCM. The wine glasses should bo all of the same design and make , only differ ing In shape and-size. ' ' Before the plato of the Washington host is laid the soup ladle and the carv ing sot for the roast- That to bo used with tlio game is brought in with that course. About ton minutes before din ner is announced it is customary , accord ing to this chronicler ot Washington customs , to have a cocktail of sherry and bitters , with a caviar sandwich , served in the drawing room as an appe tizer , This ceremony , however , can be dispensed with without violating any social law. "Tho claret , " concluded the satisfied narrator , "is warmed nnd the cham pagne frappcd ' " tlie bottle. " "I admire Mrs. X , " said a man of the world the other day , speaking of a dis tinguished member of society. "Sho is so sure of her position that she can bo as rude as she chooses and It makes no difference. " What n commentary lies there ! Has society so degenerated among tliono who regard themselves as its leader * , says a writer in the New York Tribune , that courtesy has be come a custom "more honored in the breach than in the observance. , " and the sign of a would-be aristocracy is the seal of ill manners ? Oh , for the true grande dame , who was so bitro of lior position that she feared to bo courteous io none ! Her pedestal was formed of the granite of gentle breeding , and her gracious manner proved btr sovereign. The "gentleman of the old school" was over her obedient servant and chivalrous knight. Tlio scullery maid in tlio kitchen or the bootblack on the street corner may bo rude ; it betokens no yon- tie birth , no line surroundings on their part. Why should it bo a sign in others ? Alas , for the fashion of i-udoness ; it is much more easily acquired than cour teous ways , and this nineteenth century is slipping away so fast that there is little time to waste on anything that is not quickly obtained. Tlio grande dame and gentleman of the old school have made their courtly bow to these hn-de-bieclodays , and , taking with them much of dignity and courtesy , have en tered tlio realms of history. * * # The composition of a dinner is ono of the most important matters , and on that much of its success must depend. It is always a mistake to compose a dinner entirely of brilliant people ; by that I mean intellectually brilliant. They are generally envious , critical of ono an other , and for these reasons none of them is soon at his best. Ono gener ally llnds the ploasantest dinners are those composed of average people , says Lady June in the Nortli American Re view , for though a brilliant galaxy of guests gives a dinner a certain dis tinction , it is just as likely as not to bo a dull one. I have a very vivid recollec tion of a dinner composed of people each of whom was distinguished in every sense of the word. A prime "min ister , two cabinet ministers , a distin guished soldier , ono of the greatest ec clesiastics of the day , a brilliant scien tific man , a great journalist , a distin guished lawyer , added to several agreo- ale and pretty women , made up a dinner which , at first sight , seemed to promise a rare feast of intellectual delight , but which ono of the guests declared was the dullest din ner ho had over sat down to. If such wore always the ca&o ono would despair of the arrangement of any dinner , and indeed tho- conviction is often forced on ono that a judicious mixture of ordinary and brilliant people affords on the whole the best chance of giving a pleasant and successful ono. Among a largo number of guests a vorj brilliant talker is thrown away , for it is only at a small table , when all the guests can hear and see and , If required , add their quota to the general How of conversation , that such a person adds to tlio general enjoyment , though it should not also bo forgotten that very often such a guest frightens others less bril liant than himself , absorbing all the at tention and stilling the efforts of his companions. What is required at dinner is that every ono should bo quick and sulllciontly well educated to keep up the battledore and shuttlecock of small talk , and that no ono should bo so much moro brilliant and egotistical as to swamp ovoryxithor person's individuality. * * An interesting incident , apropos of the Princess Louise's sojourn in Canada , and which illustrates in the most pleas ing fashion the simplicity and natural ness of manner which is almost invari ably the accompaniment of good birth and breeding is told by the Woman at Home. One day the princess was walkIng - Ing without any attendants near her , when she came to a cottage. Tlio only person visible was an old woman busily ironing ono of her husband's shirts. The princess was thirdly after her walk , and stopping at the cottage door asked the old woman if she would kindly got her a glass of water. The busy old woman some what shortly refused to do so. "The spring was a little- distance , " bho tald , "and she was busy ironing her old man's shirts , for ho was going with her to see the queen's child on the morrow. " The princess , no doubt , with a secret thrill of amusement , said that slio would Iron the shirt if tlio old lady would fetch her the water. The compromise was quickly agreed on. The old woman wont to tuo spring and the princess did tlio ironing. * * * When the old woman returned the shirt was handed over to her. Needless to say , it was nicely ironed. * * * In exchange for the glass 0 ( water the recent laundry woman informed tlio astonished old woman that she was the "Queen's child. " Tlio startled old woman tooic the shirt , declaring that her old man should never wear it , but that she would keep it forever as a memento of the "Queen's child. ' " % The costumes worn at the wedding of Miss Adele Grant , now countess of Essex , wore extremely ai tistlo and beau tiful , says a correspondent of the Now York Herald. The bridesmaids , In their picturesque costumes , attracted a good deal of interest. The two elder ladles wore attired In Ivory Roman t > atin , the skirts draped to one nldo and held with n rosette , a band of mink fur bolng placed at the extreme edge. The bodIces - Ices wore very full in front and gathered into a deep bolt of satin ribbon , with largo steel buttons on onch sldef and over the shoulders was a fichu ot corn Brotonno not. A palo blue volve , Charles 1. capo , lined with white satin and bordered with mink tail , hung from the shoulders at the back , and toques of blue volv.it and fur , with thrcic white ostrich tips at the side , wore worn. The live llttlo children looked charming in frocks of a still softer satin than their oldor.s. mttdo In Charles I.tttyln , the long full frocks belli" drawn in at the waist with loops of white satin. The sleeves , which were very full , wore slashed In side the arm with blue velvet and had cuffs of ecru vandyked lace to match the deep collar , a band of tlio same being laid on round the hem. They were cloaks of blue velvet spangled with sil ver and trimmed round tlio cdjro with silver lace. All carried tall Louis XV. sticks , with gold tops bearing coronet and imnogram and ornamented with largo bundles of pink roses nnd Hllos of the valley tied with blue satin ribbons , the gift of the bridegroom. Those canes are particularly suitable for children , as they are far less tiring to hold than an ordinary bouquet and prove a great sup port while standing. At 'JlO : : o'clock tlio olllciuting clergy. Venerable Archdeacon - deacon I'urrar , I lev. Richard Leo James , vicar of Watford , Ilorts , and chaplain to the onrl of Essex , and Rev. George M. Cupel ! , rector of I'assonham , Stoliey Stratford , cousin of the bride groom , took their position at the west door to await tlio bride. A few minutes afterward Miss Grant entered with her uncle , Mr. S. Grant , and passed to the ehnneol , preceded by the clergy and fol lowed bv the bridesmaids , while the hymn "Who Trust In God" was sung to Sir Arthur Sullivan's tuna "Constance. " The bride looked jowly in a dress of rich cream satin witli u very long train , embroidered in sun rays in silver spreading from a richly worked silver dwvo stretched across tlio shoulders. The swathed satin budico had a trans parent yoke and under sleeves of point d'Alencon : a large puff of satin above the latter was slit up to show the luco un derneath. 'She were a magnificent lace veil which reached to the feet in front and at the back was caught on to each shoulder not to bide the train. The veil was puffed on the top to form a erowii , with a small wreath of real orange blos soms round it , and under the veil near the front was placed a diamond tiara , the gift of the bridegroom. The bride carried an ivory bound prayer book , ornamented wltli silver. * Mrs. Annie Besant has been in India and Ceylon , whither she has probably made many a Hying tour in her astral body , though it hasn't been so well known to her in the llesh. Wliiio in Ceylon she laid the foundation stone of what is to bo known as the Anna Besant college and II. ] ' . Blavatsky home. The institution is to bo for the girls of tlio Singiilcso community. Two years ago a certain Mrs. Iliggons arrived in Ceylon , and at once perceived that there was a wide Held for educational work there. She started to raise a fund. Somebody gave some ground , and when Mrs. Besant arrived tlio Buddhist community decided to colobruto by beginning a college - lego and homo for girls. When Mrs. Besant laid tlio stone she said that she regarded the girls present , and , indeed , all girls , us her babes , and tnat she would take a motherly interest in their welfare. Everywhere that Mrs. Besant lectured the was met by school children bringing masses of flowers as a friendly greeting. This was a delicate little attention which she had missed On her astral visits. Mrs. Besant declared that her sympa thies were moro strongly than ever with tlio Hindoo religion and promised to stop again at Ceylon when she goes to Australia next year to visit her daugh ter. # 4t * "No , I never wear congress shoos , " ono young lady was overheard to say to another , "but I do lace my Newport ties with narrow , Hut black elastic , and fasten tlio ends sow the ends securely. I can slip the shoes on easily , and take them off the same way , and I am never in danger of their becoming untied. " "And I , " replied her friend , in confi dence , but loud enough to give the se cret away , "buy my shoes a bizo too long my foot looks moro slender that way and you can't guess what I stuff the too of tlio shoo with ! Not cotton everyone docs that but the softest and finest of velvet sponges ! Cotton hardens , but the sponges have a little 'give' or spring in them ; and if they over lose their pliability may bo quickly restored vwith a little warm water and loft to dry over night. " Feiulnlna AITiirn. Mrs. Grover Cleveland has a penchant for the Now York Kindergarten associa tion. tion.Tlio Tlio latest thing in women's societies is a darning club organized in a western town.

Mrs. Andrew Carnegie is happiest when arranging some holiday concert or musical festival for the downtrodden and the needy. Mary Seymour IIowolls likes to estab lish free libraries and distribute maga zines , books and newspapers in tlio houses of the poor.
