SHE LACKS DISCRETION.
How a Wsililngtou Unman Ittfured Her
flf ami Her Friend.
A lady who is now dwelling in Washing
ton, as she has been for the last three or
four years, iu one of the finest houses of
the city, who lias no end of money, and all
that sort of thing, is in serious trouble,
says a Washington correspondent, and feels
that the social season for her has been a
failure. She was not blessed with the gift
of discretion, and the outre things she has
aid and done have been the town talk ever
since she made her appearance iu Wash
ington. The trouble this t inic came from an
attempt to separate the sheep from tho
goats, as it were, in a social way. This lady,
who always has entertained elegantly, and
desired to do so more than ever this winter,
issued invitations for three teas, which
were intended to introduce her lovclyyoung
daughter to society. To the first tea all the
creme dc la eremc were asked and went.
To the second tea another company, a de
gree lower in cast, as eastc is understood
in Washington, were invited, and to the
third all the rest were told to come like poor
relations.
It does not seem io have occurred to the
hostess that her friends might not like to
be classified in this way, but the discrimi
nation would not have been so conspicuous
if the ladv herself had not '-given it away."
To a particular friend who was not in town
when the first tea was given, she sent an
invitation to the second, and explained that
she was scrry because ho "could not meet
our best set.' The little remark was inno
cently repeated as characteristic of a lady
who often said foolish things, and then was
maliciously circulated, as such remarks
often are. It was over the whole town in a
week. Those who attended the second tea
didn't like it any to well, but the third lot
were howling mad, and not more than a
dozen came, although a hundred or inoro
were expected and provided for. Peoplo
then began to ask their acquaintances if
they belonged to Mrs. So-and-Sos first,
second or third set. Those who were asked
to the first set enjoyed it, but the others
didn't sec the joke.
Finally the lady learned the cause of tho
small attendance at her third entertainment,
and felt very bad about it. for she is too
gcod-humored to intentionally offend any
one. Then she set about to contrive some
way of retrieving the error, but instead of
getting out fell still deeper into the mire.
A charity ball was given with tickets at
two dollar. a bead. She purchased two
hundred of the.-c tickets and sent them, with
her compliments, to all who had received
invitations to the third tea. It was kindly
intended, but had an effect opposite to that
desired, for those who received the compli
ments felt morelike poor relations than ever.
Some threw the ticket- into the lire: others
returned them to the lady with indignant or
sarcastic notes, saying that while they were
not so rich as sho they were still able tog
pay their way to any entertainment mey-
wantcd to attenu, aim were not su-cepuas
charitv. And at the bait i- wa- : f naiuna
joke for tha gert i if
they came iu en ... --.. . ..y
tickets.
A Wtuiains Iu iizntl.
An amusing story comes from Tralce in
Ireland. A wedding was about to be cele
brated, when, at the last moment, the
bride's parents refused to pay her dowry,
alleging as their reason that the groom had
been recontlv wounded by the Fenians, and
was still under the protection of the poacc.
According to them it was reasonable to sup
pose that the Fenians would not fail on tho
next occasion, and that, in consequence, tho
ilowrv would be sacrificed. After a long
discussion a compromise was agreed upon
and the marriage was celebrated, the hus
ii.mil rei-oivinir .V) ia hand aud a promis
