Washington, Jnn.5. Tltoro is h great
clntter of horses' hoofs on the pavements
of the Capital City, a ruinhlo of heavy
carriage wheels, a banging of tho doors
of broughams. Society has awakened
from Its long lotlmrgy and is once more
endeavoring to be gay und imagine It is
having a good time. '
1 want to toll you a little .something
about swell society In this American
capital of ours, it won't take mo long
to tell you all I know, for I am anything
but fashionable. 1 went to a tea a tiny
or two ago ono of the sWellest teas the
town Iiiih seen for many a month itul
probably I shan't go itgriln for a lou,j
year. A swell tea In Washington, pin
tlctihtrlyin a big house where tho hostess
1b ambitious and the Invitations numer
ous, is one of (he most soul harrowing
and provoking instruments of torture I
over had tho misfortune to meet with. A
tea in Washington, you should know, is
called a tea probably from the fact that
no tea is served; that no one thinks of
tea or even colTeo, and that tho ono great
beverage which every ono eagerly looks
for and lovingly lingers by is champagne
punch.
You nro invited from 4 to 0 in the aft
ernoon, but after you liavo haggled
with a cabby about the price for half an
hour and finally reached an agreement
by which ho is to call for you at a quar
ter to 4 sharp a neighbor who is fashion-
ablo, or who thinks sho is, kindly sug
gests that it is very bud form for any
ono to apioar at a 4 o'clock tea lieforo 0.
"And if you want to bo right in the
swim," sho adds, "you won't get there
till a quarter after 5 and will stay only
half an hour. This makes you look liko
on old hand." 1 accepted her advice
about not going till 5 and wish 1 had
made it an hour later und had staid only
thirty seconds.
Well, wo arrived at 5. Tlicro is a long
string of carriages just ahead of us, for
every ono else wants to bo fashionable
too. After a long wait wo get up to tho
port cochoro and alight. Tho man who
opens tho carriage door is so magnificent
a personage that I am at onco in awe of
him. 1 am afraid I won't do something
juBt right and that ho will look reprov
ingly at me. He hands mo a little ticket
with a number on it, which I afterward
learn is tho curriago number, to bo used
in ordering your vehlclo whon you get
ready to tear yourself away.
Within tho hall another magnificent
person in livery waves you to tho right
and your ladies to tho left, and after you
havo given one young man your coat and
received a check for it, and another young
man your hat and received a check .for
that, yon begin to look around for tho
ladies who aro so uufortunuto as to be
under your escort. During tho. ten min
utes which aro occupied in this search
you havo your toes walked upon by at
least a dozen distinguished pcoplo, call
inot officers nndscnutorH and their wives,
who aro nearsighted and hnjiortant nnd
who appear to think they havo right of
wuy. Somo men would consider it an
honor to havo their toes trod upon by
such distinguished persons, but I have
been so long in Washington that tho
honor conferred scorns to mo to bo out of
all proportion to tho pain inflicted.
There is nothing now to do but to take
your placo in tho lino of guests and ad
vnuco as rapidly as trossiblo to the place
wliero tho hostess is standing to rcccivo
you. As you near her you can sco that
sho is magnificently attired and that
her faco weurs a porpotual smilo. An
sho is a stranger to you, you full to won
dering who is to givo you tho inti otitic
tion, when you observe that a young
man stands near by to whisper an in
quiry as to who you nro, and in turn to
annouueo with another whisper your
name, so that tho hostess may gra
ciously greet you as ono of her oldest
and dearest friends. It is a great relief
to discover that you aro not tho only
ono who must thus bo mado known.
In fact two-thirds of tho guests aro
strangers within the gates, liko your
self. Probably our capital society is tho
only society in this country in which
people are invited to affairs of this sort
simply because their numos nro known
and without any previous acquuiutunco
with or even tin introduction to the
hostess.
Tho worst of it in, as you presently
discover, that not only nro u majority of
tho guests strangers to tho host nud
hostess, bnt to euch other. There is a
great big crowd of people, and those
whoso acquaintance is somewhat limited
wander about disconsolately looking for
somo one to say a word to. Tho crush is
great. Half tho timo you aro wedged in
so that you can't stir ono way or the
other. A big fat diplomat bars your
progress in ono direction, and throo
women of goodly size and great com
pactness render it difficult for you to
tako even n single step in tho other di
rection. Liko tho nrctic explorer whose
ship is beset in tho ice pack, you have
nothing to do but wait and watch for a
fnvorablo opening and then muko your
escape.
Tho houso is richly furnished, but not
so rich nre the hangings that women fail
to pick at the curtains uud declare them
cheap, or to examine tho so called silk
hangings on tho walls and pronounce
them imitation of the real article. Tho
maimer in which one must in the name
of fashion throw his home oix'ii to the
marauding and the criticisms of tho mob
is tomcthing tpiito appalling to me. The
rugs on the iloor nre Mift and thick, nud
one thinks he should like to have such
nigs at his house, but they havo this
disadvantage that while walking upon
them you can't for tho life of you tell
whether you nre stepping on :i carpet
that cost nix dollars a yard or tho ele
gant train of mhuo lady who hits drifted
mto jour vicinity.
I know that 1 was in t sort of nervous
statu nil the time I w.tii at this tea, In
fear that tho nr::t iniuuto would find mo
cither floundering Uhii the floor amid n
. wrecked train or Mantling up receiving
tho wlthoriitg gliuico of a Justly (mend
ed dame. Ho J pasv;d most of tho tliuo
looking at my feet, and I noticed that
other men did the name thing.
It is tremendously hot, Probably
20,000 was spent in ornamenting tho
walls of this house and tint a dollar for
ventilation. About one-third of tho
people present nppcur to linvo bud
breaths. Society jtcoplo aro more af
flicted with this misfortune than other
people became they eat so much nweet
stun and drink so much champagne
punch between nibbles at naiads and
things. As tho mob surges to and fro,
disporting many flno gowns und jewels,
one Anils himself unconsciously moral
izing tiiKin what shall it profit a man to
have lino clothes If ho lose Ills good
health uud acquire a bad breath.
Tho conversation which goes on In
these crowdeil drawing rooms Is a revt
latloit. Unless you hud heard it with
your own oars you could never linvo bn
Moved a company of men nml women
could bo so iniiuo nud stupid, It is Im
possible to move about without heal In r
what your neighbors havo to say, but If
you overhear ono bright or interesting
remark in the whole entertainment yon
will bo in great luck. I don't mean to
say Hint tho people nro naturally stupid.
Many of them uroim bright as now silver
coins nud have mado their reputations
in the world in somo phase of Intellectual
effort.
But it would take more than a com
mon mortal, male or female, to bo bril
liant, or even interesting, in a mob like
this. There Is no conversation mere
slinging of n few sentences at ono nu-
other. No ono sits down. If you attempt
to stand by a friend long enough to linvo
a bit of talk a current of humanity or
storm of gown or train or something
comes along und sepurntcs you. If you
aro not interrupted in this manner some
woman rushes up and whisks your friend
off to bo introduced to somo ono else, or
brings her friend up nud plants him or
her between you ami your acquaintance,
with whom you nro trying to carry on
conversation, uud drives you away in
disgust.
You notlco that overy ono is moving
toward the dining room, whero a tahlo
Is gorgeously spread with things und
you can't for tho lifo of you tell what
they nre, but they look good enough to
cat. Hero tho crush Is ut high pressure.
In tho oxcitcmcut and enforced contact
of the moment you feel your uelghlxir's
heart letting against yours. This may
or may not bo interestin;; it depends
altogether upon the identity and char
acteristics of tho neighbor whom the
fntos havo awarded you for tho moment.
It seems impossible to get near tho table,
whoro from tho edges of tho crowd you
get glimpsed of men and womon eating
red stuff and drinking from pretty cups.
You envy them and wonder how they
ever got there. You aro in despair.
Bat whilo you nro waiting and grow
ing hungry nn oxiorienceil tea. fiend
comes up, inserts n shoulder in tho near
est opening, ays "I beg your pardon,"
smiles and pushes in. A series of inser
tions of the thin nud well trained shoul
der, of pardons nud smiles, and tho ex
perienced pnshcr haa pushed her way.
or sometimes it is his wuy, to tho very
front, whero ho or sho presently stunds
with a plate in ono hand and a fork in
tho other as calm as a sleeping dog. Not
withstanding tho crowd every ono is
studiously jKdito and considerate. There
aro no disgraceful scenes. As the
throng shifts to and fro, forward and
back, a trained oyo would observo, how
ever, that it is the accomplished and ex
perienced tea nttender that gets to tho
front, whilo tho tyro remains in tho out
skirts and sucks his thumb. Politeness
is hero n clonk to pushing pcoplo out of
one's way, as I fancy it is in any of the
other affairs of lifo.
Of course it is absolutely necessary
that some idiot should come along with
ico cream and dash it against your best
trousers. And an old woman loses con
trol of her gliiss of punch and spills it
upon your coat. Another old woman, to
whom you wero so unfortunnto as to be
introduced, asks you to get her nu ico,
and after you have skirmished for about
ten minutes, perspired and had your
clothes ruined, walkod upon tho gowns
of a half dozen other women, you re
turn triumphantly with tho ico in your
trembling hand only to discover that
somo other duiw has been beforo you
and supplied tho old damo's wants. It
is a favorite trick of tho uxpericuced tea
attender in Washington to ask four or five
men to get her something from the table.
Ono or another is pretty sure to meet
with success in his quest in her behulf,
uud if two or threo of them come up
with cups and plates, why, so much tho
better.
It is a queer jumblo of humanity. The
highest officers of tho government aro
hero nnd also tho lowest in rank. Most
of tho women are married. Half of thorn
are old enough to know better. Tho young
and interesting women do not like to
waste their strength in such unsatisfac
tory endenvors, for there aro no comers
to sit down in and solo possession of any
sort of a man is impossible. Tho men
nro either old rounders, who live on ten
tables in order to savo expenses nt their
clubs or restaurants, diplomats old und
glum or young nnd offensively dudish,
or politicians who tire hero not so much
for society's sake as for their wives' and
their re-election.
They nre nlco people. Many of them
nre fnmous jieople. A few nro brilliant
people. But tho idea itself is absurd,
stupid, harassing, senseless. It ought
never to 1k. Whilo a dinner satibfies
and develops or u reception with n biuull
nutnlier of guests so thnt reposo nnd
genuine conversation is possible brings
IKHiplo close together nnd makes them
friends in fact, a tea is a hop-skip-aud-jump
bocial function In which every
ono is trying to remember tomo oiip
else, avoid lieiiig run over nnd to get
' something to eat without loss of 'life Or
limb or clothing. Tho tea should go.
At tiny rate I'll have no more of it.

Both Had Eczema
in Its Worst Form
After Phyatctana .ltotted, Hoo&b
Bmrtaparllla Perfectly Cured.
Great mental agony b endured by
parents who see their children suffering
from diseases caused by impure blood, ana
for which there seems no cure. This ii
turned to joy when Hood's Sarsaparilla is
resorted to, for it expels the foul humors
from the blood, and restores the dis
eased akin to fresh, healthy brightness.
Read the following from grateful parents:
" To C. I. Hood A Co., Lowell, Mass. :
"Wo think Hood's Ssrsanarllla la to atott
Taluabls medicine on the market for blood and
tkln diseases. Our two children suffered terrt
ly with the
Worst Form of Eczema
for two years. Ws had threo physicians la
that time, but neither of them succeeded In
curing them or even la gtrlna them a llttlo
relief. At m we tried tlooiTs BarsaimrlUa
and In a mouth both children were ps
factlr ctsrrd. Wa recommend
Hood's Sarsaparilla
as a standard family medicine, nnd would not
b without It." Mil. and Mli.i. M. M. Sollkb,
