In tlic Smart World.
However much the tendency to crowd the
tcason Into a few weeks may bo regretted ,
thcro appears to ho no escaping It , and In
deed It grows stronger year hy year. Nearly
everybody , as the word goes , remains out of
town uutll the last of October , nnd society
rcmnlns In a comatose condition until tlio
first of November. Then the round of enter
tainments begin and by the middle of No
vember the social world Is on lo grande tour ,
repaying the thousand and ono obligations
" " ivhlcti every leader ot the smart world Incurs
during the season ,
The early coining of Lent this year , how
ever , has started the round of entertainments
earlier than usual , nnd the Christmas tldo
will reveal many tired souls who will ask
themselves. "Is ft worth the candle ! " But
. thcro U no letting up In the game ; It must bo
played out , even If hearts grow weary and
emiuled bodies long for some quiet spot far
nwny from vanity fair.
The theater was everybody's rendezvous
during the latter part of the past wcelf , " The
Cb-ritvUnll , " reminiscent of many delight
ful nights nsone , attracting the four hundred
M no other phiy of tlio ipiison. 'J'ho effect of
the play was so Immediately remarked and
already a number of the leaders are planning
a charity ball on n srnlo of inngnlllccuce that
lias not been equalled In the west.
Kor two vears society has been content
- . - Witli the balls Riven bv the Assembly and tho.
' Cotillion , but this year neither of the clubs
will bo reorganized , If their patrons of former
years arc to bo believed , and per consequence
the old beaux , the dowagers , the young
Bwells and the buds hope for something of a
, } public character which will bo upon nn extended -
' tended scale , nnd n charity ball seems to bo
the only thing lu sight.
Chrysanthemums nro now very much In
favor among swell women. They nro bril
liant in color , and contribute a pleasing mid
decoratlvu effect to a woman's costume. The
yellow one * , which are very yellow Indeed ,
nro tlio most lugh'y ' prized. Some of the
.j largo ones are priced ns tiigh as $1.00 each.
'The ' florists any , however , that the largest
chrysanthemums in this country nro very
Binnll compared witn the chrysanthemums in
Japan , which oftentimes attain the size of an
American sunflower. The chief objection to
the use of chrysanthemums heretofore has
been that the odor of them is not at all pleas
ant. Yankee ingenuity , however , has been
nt'work on the problem suggested by this ob
jection , nnd some flower dealers have been
able , through the use of chemicals aiipl ( xl
directly to the growing plant , to achieve a
newer which Is odorless , or almost so. It has
been not unusual In the Jlowor trade , it is
said , to mid perfume to flowers occasionally
by dipping them in some fragrant essence ,
but the chrysanthemum case is the first case
of flowers going through u process of dcodor-
ization.
In the Forum for October , Helen Ekln
f Stnrrctt , in a thoughtful article entitled "Tho
< i Future of Our. Daughters , " says : "Ono of
the greatest foes to happy mnrriages Is the
existence of the mercenary spirit on the part
of the parents nud daughters. " Wo protest
( says the Commercial-Advertiser ) ngalnsttho
. use of the word "mercenary" In this connec-
/ tion. Man Is by nature the bread-winner ,
\ while woman Is equally by nature the honio-
miikor. By a sort of poetic justice , at any
rate , a man to win her living for her Is every
woman's right , as u woman to make a homo
for him Is the right of every man. It is not
Jalr to woman , therefore , to apply the term
( "mercenary" to that feminine instinct that
Impels her to ncccpt a bread-winner ns a part
ner for life , oven though she may lack that
Intensity of emotion that n proposal of mar
riage mouses In the breasts of the heroines of
romance. There Is nn Irresistible tendency ,
or what amounts to the same thing , a ten
dency rarely resisted , that impels lovers to
marry just as soon as not to say before the
man sees his way to supporting u wife , And
in the vast majority of cases the estimates of
the sighing couple nro totally untrustworthy.
Even as tlio matter now stands , Imprudent
> v marriages uio the rule. The man , blinded by
> .liJ9 wishes , overestimates his future Income ,
underestimates his coming expenses.
Thcro has boon nn epidemic of Kensing
tons this week , every day during the past six
having had ono or moro of these affairs ,
> -which should over bo "tho meeting ground or
\ 'friends nnd all ngrecablo people1 ns Dr.
Johnson characterized the afternoon tea.
They admit of endless possibilities , and If
the hostess bo ingenlus they can bo mailo
lllto the oasis lu the uescrt , bright resting
' places where the unexpected is always upi > or-
'most. The introduction of a reader , a capital
story teller , a clover pianist , a cnpablo singer ,
till tend to break the monotony of tlio after
noon and pcoDlo go away refreshed , satisfied
rwiththe world and themselves , delighted
with the rare tact of the hostess whoso
jiralses Is over after sung.

A Novel Kensington Ten.
Mrs. Uobcrt Purvis departed considerably
'rom ' the rules which nre supposed to govern
Kensington teas by sending out Invitations
reading simply from U until 5 o'clock Thurs
day afternoon. It was a matter of specula
tion with the invited guests whether they
should tnko their fancy work or await tlio
pleasure of the hostess upon their arrival.
This latter idea prevailed to n very largo ex
tent and right glad were the Indies that they
bndn't burdened themselves with their fancy
work , Mrs. Pun-is , who Is rt very charming
liostoss , deserves the honor of having In
augurated a new ordorof things nud nn order
that will bo undoubtedly followedwith modi
fications , of course , by future hostesses who
aim at being different from their friends.
The guests were invited to ballot , upon the
most popular lady present and then ensued
a scene that reminded ovary ono present
much of n political scramble for nomination
in n democratic county convention. Button
holing was In order. Votes were openly
bought and the methods of the politicians
wore Indulged In , Promises ) of future enter
tainments , luncheons , suppers , box parties at
the theater , candy , und almost every delight
In the calendar were offered for ballots. Ono
lady objected to n democrat counting the
votes and demanded that two republicans
should bo placed on the canvassing board ,
ns that was the way , she said ,
her husband conducted things. Her
suggestion was accepted , of course , and the
result of the ballots showed that Mrs. Dr.
Connor hud received a lurgo majority of. the
votes cast. It was u jolly idea and conducted
to'a very successful conclusion. Cards were
played , but not with uuy degree of Interest ,
the election occupying the attention of the
guests.
The house , which Is very pleasantly lo
cated on St. Mary's avcnuo and Twenty-
fourth street , was prettily decorated witli
chrysanthemums nnd roses , nnd the pleasant
feature of the nftcrnoon being the presence of
two bright little girls who carried trays filled
with roses winch they presented to the
guests. The refreshments were very elabor
ate.
