A dozen times dally ono may wlvness tho familiar plcturo of excited travelers and still moro excited friends; of crowded cabins and mournful good-bys. As a rnto it is not a cheerful picture All kinds and conditions of men go down to tho eon In shipo, and so long as they do women will gather at tho wharves, Uko Nlobo, all tears, and indtilgo In growsomo forcliotlliigs. They did it when tho good ship City of Para left Now York's icy hnrlior on a dull December day bound for tho land of tho lotus raters, nnd thoy will bo con tintio until tho end of timo.

Flnnlly, howovcr, man's gregari ous nnturo asserts itself, and ho is ready to tninglo with his fellows, and discuss tho situation, political, material and spiritual. The sen liclng uncommonly quiet for the Reason, we quickly get ac quainted, nnd by tho time Ilntleras Is passed nnd wo nro within n few days of tho West Indies, ono knows with a per fect Intlmncy every human being, from tho mining nd venturer whoso high hopes nro taking him to bis castles In Spain, to tho greasy Jnmalca waiter who, with touching nlTectlon, hns dnlly brought mo n hair of tho cook's bead In my soup. Tho change from tho shivering blasts of tho north to tho balmy and nt times scorching nir of tho tropics is compara tively sudden. Forty-eight hours frqm Sandy Hook we begin to feel tho change very perceptibly, nnd on tho morning of tho third day January rcciiih turned to July; the ladies robe themselves in soft white gowns nnd tho men parade tho decks in something nkin to pajamas. We experience within tho satno week tho comforts nnd discomforts of extreme heat nnd extrcmo cold. When tho tropics nro reached tho ship company settles down to protracted dolco far nlcnte, nnd tinder tho beautiful ukies of this gcntlo climate, watch nnd wait nnd observe. Ono need never grow old on voynges Uko this. It is nn cxistenco where- life melts nwny in a continuous smile, nnd wbero the ncme of luxurious indolcuco is reached.

During this long holiday wo (lnd that wo nro nn nmlnblo lot of passengers, tako it ull lu nil, without celebrities or notables In either cabin. Dy forco of circumstances tho father of Amcllo Rives and tho nephew of Gen. Grant nro tho social lions, so that our commonplace character is manifest when the glory nny of us attain Is merely n rollcx ono. Still on the ship tho types of character nnd of nationality nro as varied as I'almer Cox's "Urownles." Wo bavo tho typical Briton, the ulmond eyed Mongolian, tho conventional Celt, tho genus Dude, tho picturesque Spaniard, tho bustling Isow Yorker, tho latter In nil things n law unto himself. Somo of the Castlllans look as though thoy hnd dropped out of Cervantes' book nnd wero ready to light windmills unci hcoU Sancho Panza. Tliu women are interesting and numerous.

Thero nro several meek and wailing girls on board, nnd when you look at them you think of Mr. llowells' description of tlio "lonely faces of uncourtud women." The Dude is n naval oflleer whose mustacho is irro pi'oachuble, whobo corsets give bis coat a perfect lit, nnd whoso voice is as deep as a well. Although a naval oflleer in the service of bis country, ho has seldom been to sea, nnd When I ho breezes blow llu generally goes below; n good fellow, a very good fellow, ready to talk largely nnd well on tho mari time urmumenl of tlio world, but never theless u little weak in tho stomach. tho group in tho after port of tho ship. By and by soft English voices start n tender madrigal, nnd then comes Bong nftcr song.

Tlio comnopollto quality of tho vessel Is fully developed in tho songH tho peoplo sing. And thus the hours glldo on whllo tho good ship speeds steadily through tho tropic Atlantic, bound for tho lauds of eternal summer. As the night grows old thero comes a gradual hush over all; conversation as well ns merry melodies consoj no bouihI is heard save the swash of tlio sea nnd tho gentle thrumming of tho Canadian guitar. Tho company Is thinking per haps of absent friends, or meditating on future scenes. Suddenly tho nlmless picking of the musician touches n famil iar chord. It Is "Homo, Sweet Homo!" Marvelous melody! Wondrous wonlsl With one accord tho wholo nssemblngo freshens nnd revives, nnd when n young woman with a voice Uko Cordelia starts tlio verses, ull appear to join In, for every heart seems touched by tho nong, jtiBt ns it over has been nnd overBhallbo, world without end.

So is ABhloy Junction; and hero is n hurried transfer from comfortable Bleeping and dining coaches to very ordinary cars, when tlio passen ger is booked for Charleston. Yet Ashley Junction hasdovelopcd its compensating influences. Being located at a half hour's railwny distance from Charleston, It served as a quarantine against Jacksonville nnd Ub deadly BalT ron tinted epidemic of last year. No suspected or Innocent Floridlan was ablo, during tho yellow fever scare, to go into Charleston from this outer barrier. Tlio hygienic- regulation workod to n charm. On the train between Aiken nnd Branchville n colored preacher talked volubly about his race, Its needs nnd Its destiny. Ho know tho good timo was coming; In fact, ho believed that a big sllco of It had already got here. It was his idea that the negroes wero too much tho proy and too littlo tho caro uf their white fellow citizens. Ho deplored the poverty and Illiteracy of tho colored peo plo of that section, but Beomed greatlj cheered by tho brightening prospect. Himself raised from tho servile position of a common field hand to a piano hon ored by men, ho was n steadfabt friend of all educational institutions. "Let me tell you, sir," ho said, 'hiding tho waiter was an interested listener, "what South Carolina wants most is u higher grade of intelligence among laborers of both 6cxcs. Her working population, white as well as black, must becomo better ed ucated. Embodiment and sequel of tho thir teenth amendment of tho national con stitution, the Southern negro, whether man, woman or child, is nlwayaan in structive study. Increased transportation facilities, with cheap excursion ratei, induces tlio freed man and members of his family to visit scenes dear to them from early associa tion. I was smoking nn nftcr dinner clgnr one evening on tho porch of a rural hotel in Darlington county, when the colored baggago crusher, pointing to one of his 8 peel en on tho opposite sido of the road, suddenly exclaimed: "Dat's n Charleston niggah, bossl" "How do you know?" I asked. "Easy uuf, sab. Ho puts on too much 6tylo for dls ycr place. Dat's shunh!" The hotel jiortcr was right. A week afterward tho stylish tourist of Darling ton lathered my foco as ho scraped ac quaintance in a King street barber shop. Ho knew me again. "Shave close, sir?" I nodded my head, as nfllrmntivo. "Saw you in Florenco n few days ngo, didn't I, colonel?" ho questioned ln the next breath. "May be you did," Bald I. "Yes, sir. It was last Wednesday." "Wero you born in that county'" I in quired, as lie deftly nicked mo with hid razor under tho right ear and drew first blood. "No. Indeed, slrl I went up thero to see my father's young master's gravo. He was killed in the war, sir, at the place yon call Antietam. 1 was born right here in Charleston after father got his freedom; but we all think a good deal of young master, sir. He was a good man and a bravo soldier, thoy say who know him." I have written this literal dialogue not In the usual negro vernacular, for tho burlier did not use It.

Nearly all tho women who ac company their husbands to Washington nro unable to accedo to half tho requests that aro made of them from scheming mammas at homo to bring their budding and nmbltlous daughters to tho capital and Introduce them to tho gay whirl. Yet for the most part it Is a very Btupld sort of society , a very onerous and try ing society, ono In which few real friend ships nre found, ono which many women of Bcnse and soberness havo tasted only to nbjuro. We are now In the midst of thonnnual "season." and already society's devotees are beginning to need the attentions of medical advisers, to thirst for rest and quiet. Tho labors of public men, their long vlrjlls at their ollleial deskB, their struccles with tho masses of correspond ence which continually Hood them, havo been much written about. Somo sym pathy has oven been roused for tlicin. But you novcr hear of tlio labors of tho women, who ns n mntter of fact work harder than their husbands In congress or the departments, who aro dally con fronted with tasks from which theBtrong cst. most nctlvo man would shrink. The Washington woman of society Is envied wherever she Is heard of, but sho de serves pity instead. street and town and Dupont circles. Then nhij consults tho society column of her morning uawspnpor to bco what changes from (ho regular programmo aro announced. Tho cards of the ladled who receive on Tuesday", or on Thurs days, or Fridays nro placed In littlo piles. Thus order gradually comes out of chaos. In nn hour tho fair campaigner has laid out her routo for tlio day. Sho has contrived to savo all posslhlo retrac ing of her steps, for timo is everything. If sho Is experienced and skillful sho will make a littlo map of tho aristocratic or northwestern part of tho city, and mark a cross thereon for each stopping plaeo. This Is for hor coachman. Coachles aro stupid follows sometimes, and diagrams hell) them to cover tho ground rapidly and without tho loss of a minute. Finally her eyes rest upon tho clock. It Is high noon. "Dear mo!" sho exclaims, "Is It bo Into? I nm too tired to stir, but I must go nnd dress and got a bit of luncheon. I havo a hard dny't work before mo." At half past 1 tho carriage appears, and our campaigner, looking very pretty In her light wrap with a littlo color at hor throat, and a littlo moro on hor cheeks, sots out upon her raid. Sho is rather eager now, and Impatiently asks the conchmau if ho fully understands what is expected of him. "Forty calls today, you know, John, and not n miutito to spare." John touches his hat respectfully, and nftcr my lady has seated herself In tho carriage ho raises his whip. John knows what forty calls mean. Tho horses know, too, nnd nwny thoy go. Tho av enue Is full of other equipages, liearlng other women on similar errands bent.' Tho afternoon sortie Is now on, and may nil pedestrians look sharp. Washington society hns tho right of wny. Forty calls In four hours! Ten calls nn hour, ono call overy nix minutes. Three minutes for driving from houso to house, one mlnuto to got out of the car- riago and Into tho drawing room, ono mlnuto for tho exchange of compliments with tlio hostess, ono mlnuto to get into tlio carriage again and nwny. That is what It Is. No wonder John whips up tho hordes nnd drives his equipage uroi'tid tho statue of Dupont or Mc pherson or Thomas Uko n chariot ln tho hlpiKxlroino races. If our lady fulls to mnko her forty calls it will not bo John's fault. If it is Ills fault oir will go his head, for the coachman who cannot mic ccssfully raco ngnlut timo nt the height of tho "season" must sooner or later fnll from his high cstato to tho Ignominy of a huckster's or coal wagon R.

Wo find her ono morning In her littlo sitting room with a look of anxiety on her faco. In her baud she holds n map of the city. On the table before her llo several hun dred little pieces of bristol Iranrd. Can you guess what who Is doing? Laying out tho plan of campaign. Devising ways nnd means for making tlio greatest possible number of calls In a given num ber of hours. Uvcry ono of thoso pieces of board represents an obligation, a task. If she Is to do her duty, if alio Is to "keep up," not one must bo neglected. Each card represents n call mado on her by other victims of tlio Moloch of fashion. Sho had her reception tho day before Sovcral hundred ladies called, remained a moment, and hurried away. Tho faces of four-fifths of them sho has for gotten. Nine-tenths of them aro nothing to her. nothing moro than the other Btrangers she sees nt tho thentro or in tho stores. Yet they havo called, exchanged a hurried word r two with her, left their cards, nnd now, forsooth, sho must do llkowise unto them. The poor woman counts her enrds. There may be 200. Even the prldo which she naturally feels at being honored with the Mristol boards of so many notables, or. to speak more correctly, the wives of 6o many notables, for tlio woman ac quires importance hero only ns her hus band does, by virtue of ills money, his brains, or Ills demagogic facility for win ning votes or othcrwiso intriguing him self Into ,.'.aco hor pride in nil this gives way lieforo a flood of consternation. twHjfe : HAS KX- Drayage and Moving OLIVER MAGfJAKD Desires to Inform the public that his equip ment for moving Household Goods,I'ianos Safes, Miirchnndlse, Heavy Machinery etc., Is the best In the city.

"Oh. dear, dear, dear." she exclaims, almost In tears, "how shall I ever do it? Why, that means forty calls a day for five days, without rest, and If 1 let a day go by 1 shall get hopelessly behind." Sho Is weary and surfeited. Ilut, woman like, oho grabs up tho cards, takes a littlo comfort out of thoso which represent persons of tho highest ollleial station, and sets to work again on her plan of campaign.

Yes, Indeed. Not much elso is talked about in thoso kaleidoscopic afternoon drawing rooms. Thero is not timo for any Berious conversation. Hurry nnd triviality, stupidity and formality, be como habitual on thcso occasions. Said tho bricht wifo of an Illinois congress man who had been a school mistress; "I had heard so much of Washington so ciety that I was almost afraid to enter it. I was timid about meeting tlio great ladies, and lieforo coming hero brushed up n little in art, literature and olitict that I might not bo wholly nonplused when engaged In conversation with the brilliant leaders of capital society. Im agino my surpriso to find tho weathei always and everywhere the chiol topic of conversation." At 0 in tho evening n pair of tired horses, a stifT coachman, a dust stained carriage draw up In front of the homo ol our fair campaigner. An uxhausted wo man steps upon the curb, and unless she has an evening reception to attend, or a dinner table to sit at from 7 to 10, she crams a little food down her throat, takes a Mep at tlio children und goes oil to bed to gather strength for the mor row's raid, nnd to dream of electric dilclcs and pneumatic slides by which 6lxty calls may lieiiiadeinhixy minutes.
