’ THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1874. HODERN EXTRAVAGANCE. rhe Expense of Social Enter- tainments in Chicago. Menus for Dinner, Evening, and Wed- ding Partics, !Floral Decorations---Cards ard Invita- tions---Dress. The Cost of “Bringing Out” a Daughter. Some Startling Statistics. The observant person who looks about him ean scsrely wonder at the periodical occurrenco of financial panics when he considers what an extravagaot snd luxurious race we are becom- ing. It ‘would naturally be thought that Chica~ go, 0 JOuRE B GitF, 80 novly reclaimed from the o o, would bave escaped tho fato of her clder ::.ELBE Hor little that is the case, o glance at fue following statement of what her peoplo gemand, and what s supplied to them, pob idfrequently, but whonover the occasion ¢oems to require such coutribution, will prove. Young in years, ghe is fast growing GEAY IN LUXURY; snd the best that the world can give is what she Gemands to eatisfy her {fast-growing wante, her lasuries that are becoming necessities. Who will foot the bills, or whether, 28 Owens says in #John Uzit,” It will pay " in tho ond, the ma- foity spparently do mot stop to conaider. If Sovoreign Millionaire, Esq., with immenso wealth, can afford to gratify all that Lis tasto may crave, and thorefore does it, then, in regu- Jir gradation, tho rank and filo follow his lead, aod, because ho lass incurred such and fuch expenditure, thereforo it is the right thing to do, and they perforce must. There scems to bo less indepeadence of {honght, opinion, and position, in this country, (han in any other. It isa game of * follow my Jesder,” evidently, if tho leador is rich ; never considering that what is comparative economy forhim is rank extravagance for them. Take, forinetance, the following meun, furnished in ¢his city by the leading caterer for A DINNER PARTY of ten or a dozen people : Oysters on the Half-Shell, Potage : Terrapin Soup. Amontillads Fish : Bloefish or Spanish Mackerel Haut Sauterne. RBeleve : Filet of Venison or Beef, Clog, Edu ‘bougeot. utree & Bweetbreads en Croquette, Jamajca Punc Game Quail or Partridge, larded. snd lay.” As regaras the caterer's suppli w0 do & nice Lttlo sum i proporinn. e dori thot a8 50 is to 100, 60 18 500 (dear friends who come to be amueod and abuse) to 1,000 ; 81,000 for supper elone, or, allowing s fair dis- count of 25 per cent on o largely-in- creesed number, $£750 would bo the figure. This does not include cither wina or cigars, and, iu tho ligat of modern ostravagance, 3 looked upon as & very simplo spread indeed. DOES IT PAY? the rueh and crush, the wear zad tear, the snms in addition that have to be.foctad up? How many people ask that question as they silow u}\cms;lve: tf be swept sway by the undertow of modern extravegance, until they are beneath the flood of finnneial ditficyu.lty Sl Next in order come _ TIE FLODAL DECORATIONS ; and here, if anywhere, a certain amont of even Inwicssnoss may bo forgiven. Frail as this portion of the contribution is, it i« so beautiful, so asmde from mere vulgar display, that it if hard to say one word agaast the flowers. The minimum price for this portion of the entertain- ment may be estimated at $30, while about tho maximum rcached here in Chicago is from 5700 to $300, This sum has been expended this winter. Tho decorations consist of a mar- riago-bell, éometimes simply suspended over the heads of the wedded pair, while at others an arch is also mado of vines and flowors in front of 2 long pier-mirror, and beneath this arch the nowly-made bride and groom receive the felicitations of their {fricads. Mantel- decorations, monograms, mottoes, bou- quets in vazes, baskets, wreaths, ete., with festoons aud {able-decorations comprise the necessary quota. Tho marriage-bell alone costs from 30 to $30, and mey be carried to a still bigher figuro: but that is tbe usual amount which is received on tho occasion of local bymeneale. Tho bride's bonquet, nccording. fo the scason and the siyle of flower required, 18 valued at from $1 to 810 ; while tho holder by which it is surrounded varies from 3 to $5. Toe hand- somest bouquet wozld be composed of camel- lins, Tosebuds, hyncintas, pinks in the bud, smilax, and fine fern-leaves. Tho Germans al- ways ask for myrtle. Tt may not be out of place here to notice how this demand for florai decoration has GROWY INTO OENERAL FAVOR . in vurcity. Inan interview with a well-known lorist upon the subject, he stated that shops for the sule of flowers wero finst opened in Chicago in 1857. Thon, to scll a dollsr-bouquet was to do's big thing in the way of trade; while to have a lolf-dozen ordered at Clristmas-time was an unprecedeuted run_ of business. Ten vears later, Lowever, in 1867, an order was given for wedding-decorations which amounted to 2300, and was the highest that had ever been called for in Chicago. Sinco theu, tho previous statement will ~ show ~ how rapid has been the increase. Still, it is not umpon the demand for entertamnments that florista depend for tho. large proportion of their ordors or profits; bat upon tho youngman who, epamored of somo fair face, wins fitr way o fovor by tho languago of 'flowers,—not in- frequently depleting his purso to accomplish it. "Tho masses of flowers which wo group together, and which foreigners would snd do look upon a8 ~ulgar,—thoy usually being such an sccumula- tion of various colors, so slightly relieved by grecn,—have this excuso: Leaves or folizgo are less ensily attainable here than flowers i{remsolves. Whilo the English, to say nothing of the warmer Contineutal countrics, always have a supply of green growth. our col winters and dry summers prevent the long pres- orvation of delicate foliage. We are, thercfore, oblized to make np with the flowers themsolves * for the lack of verdure, which would be more oleaning to the eye, axd skow a purer taste. To 1 pluck a flower stimulates the bud ; to cut off a leaf or branch is to_attack the life of the plant.

For Orazges, Grapes, Bananas, Pears, Ices, dinner-partics here are the name-cards placed Cafe Noir with Cognac, at each plate, with either autique, sentimental, The above bill of fare for ten people would cost 2100, or at the rate of $10 & head. This is about the average number for a private dioner. To be sure, the giver is saved all trouble; for serants, plate, chiza, cutlory, etc,, are all fur- nished. Still, is it not s sign of the times when one can quietly contemplate such a menuss the above, and consider it DATHER A MODEST AFTATR sfter all? *“ Really [the ordinary dinner-giver would ss3], no superfinous dishes, no French en- tremets, only four kinds of wine, and very sim- plecourses. Quite & quiet little dinner, very well guited to a private party.” This is the way » vast number of peoplo have come to look upon the matter. The epicure, who can afford to gratify his tastes, and the moneyed man, who, grown suddenly rich through some kind of pri- vate or public epoils, orders his dinner from the moet celeorated caterer, a8 he does his library from some first-rate publisher, that their special nowledge may supply bis vacuous ignorance, looks mpon it as & matter of course: the first, because he likes to gratify ‘his dainty appetito ; the latter, becauee, With his suddenly.acquired wealth, be bas nov_ learned how to place’s proper value on_it, aad, above and beyond all, he would not be considerod as lacking 1n style. EASY COME, EASY GO, is the axiom that spplies iu this case. His wealth Lasmade him the fashion, and the heep g0 flocking after bim in a8 nearly perfect imitation 25 possible, regardless of the Tact that they may be following to be shorn. Of course, to the above list otber dishes might be added, other wines included, and the whole raised to & higher figure, but that is o fair representation of what i8 required at an ordinary private dinner. Dinner-giving does niot, perhaps, make such frequent and serions inroads upon the purse as weddings, receptions, - or parties; for, unlike the Eoglish, weare nota dinner-giving race, on]ingmwing tobe so; and from this cause, perhaps, with us the more delicate filet is pre- Tared to tao grand picte-de-resistance in ths 3;1» of a huge sirloin, when we do dine our iends. For weddings, receptions, and parties, we werc told by one person that the cost would bo from €2 to 34 & head, dependent upoa tho variety and the occasional rarity or cost of some of the dishes. There would be but little difference in the viands for either of these festivities, a8 the wedding cake for o bridal would be replaced by other varjetics at the evening party or reception. That $100.for o party of fifty people scems to be a fair average, and 50 on 1acreasing pro rata, we have learned from various local sources. A WEDDING PARTT, for this amount, would bo served with the fol- lowing variety of cates: Two large Cakes. Small Cakes in varietr, Charlotte Russe, Wine Jeliy. Ice-Cream.. Toes. Mottocs, Fruit, Sandwiches. Coffee. Chicken Salad. Eccatioped Oysters. Wedding Favora, There is no cxtra_charge for waitingor the Dectasary service. Where awuings are used, they aro an_exira of from £15 to $25. These are lighted eitber with extension gas-pipes, if possible, or with beadlights. Carpets from the doorto the carriage add another itom of 310. The caterer eometimes furnishes nshers, com- petent men to receive and send away the car- Tsges, and to call them as the guests disperse; vhile the city places a sufficient police-furce on hand to prevent disturbance or annoyance to guests. . Lue abovo simplo supper may be increased in price, 8 mo £aid befora by the addition of moro delicate dishes ; but wine is not included. This isleft ont by most Chicago people; so, from whatever canse it may ariec, they at Jeast mani- fest a certz wico economy on tkis point, quite & vanance with their prodigality as regards more golid pabutum. A_not!ur caterer furnisbed the following Jist of icacies for b AN NG PARTY, ¢ coet of which will be at the same rate o8 the g:“‘lmu_ one, whilo for 100 persons thers would & slight decreaze in price. The variety is somewbat larger, but still not what tho present g—'mmmn would consider as t all extravagant. reads af follows- Fruits, Oysters. Lobster and Chicken Salala, ‘Boned Turkey. BSandwiches. Coffce and Biscuit. Tozs zad Crosis. Cake. Pyramids of Nougat and Candy, Clizrloite Busse in Baske's. Mcringues in Candy-Shage. Wine Jelly, L“fz Tart ((i;ah" monade. Gt or Champagne, Punch, Silver, Linen, China, and Waiters included. Floor-cloths ara moro usually leid by tho host hmexm f than by tho caterer, and are of heavy ton goods, costing from €10 to $20 to make _ parties, of course, i upon the purse; ont or burlesque designs, costing $1 o dozen. Tho ‘menu-cards range in price from 25 cents to 73 cenis each. Here, thon, we have abont what the actual outside cost of entertainments ia; but this by no means fills up the measure of the expendi- ture. People must dress who go to such placcs. Toenter into the cost of a wedding troussesu would bo too wide o field for present inspection, It may be estimated as costing from $1,000 to $20,000, not including jowels. Weddin gifts alss yary in valuo, and we leave tho discassion of thoso for snother time. For ordinary party or dinner dress, how- ever, tho following items will prebably serve to show somewhat where the money goes to. A GENTLEMAN'S FULL EVENING SUIT, at the present time, costs from #110 to $125. His boots will take $20 ; whilp linen, tic, gloves, ete., will requiro_another Treasury-note of tno latter denomination. However, with the excep- tion of the gloves and tie, his euit will answer at least an entire ecason, and in this he has the advantage over the fairsr gex. If one calculates the cost of his slesve-buttons, his dia- ‘mond-studs, and tho last sweet thing in lockets Which dengles from his chain, to say nothing of {he ring which muost adorn bié finger, this sum may bs increased ad libitum. Mozt society-men consider these personal adornments o necessity, bowever, and increase iheir expenditure accord- ingly. A WOYAN'S DRESS Y demands many more items, and i8 much more expensive. sccordingly. A handsome silk, with- out lace, costs nbout $130 or $175, when com- pleted. If lace is added 28 trimming, then tho Cost reaches §550,—a sum not regarded as being Sery extravagant for the fashioncble Chicagoun, asit i8 mot infrequently paid. Of cource, laco is used in even grester quantities,—a point drapers costing from €500 to £2,000 being quito en regle. This, however, is capable of being tranefarred from one dress to_another, orused a8 & wrap ; 50 gaonot properly bo said to add to tho actualccstof any oue especial dress. Parures of flowers vary from 220 to $50, and are freelyused in the ornamentation of dress- 8. The fan costs from $10 to $50 ; the mouchoir from £5 to §100; slippezs and boots §7 to §9,— the latter prico if made to order to match a cos- tume. Gioves, six-button. arc 3.25; and silk hoso 85.00. Ogera-cloak or cmriage-vrap, to Jicep the fair ludy from taking cold, wonld range from £5to 250 ; whila the hood would add an extra §3 to $10.

SaTenpaY EvENING, Jan, L. The preparation for tho ecttlements in the grain and provision trades ends with to-day, and the demand for money is likely to bo leas at the Leginning of next week than it has been during the past weok. The money market has, however, been easy, and, though some of the banks found it a little difficult to accommodate all their cus- tomers, others have had more moncy than they could loan eatisfactorily. In the open market, monoy is offered at 8 per cent on demand loans with collaterals, and for any time loon not ex- coeding three months, at 10 per cent. Tho supply of New Yook exchange scems to be increasing, and eales were made to-day at 50c per £1,000 discount. There is still a free movement of currency be- twoen this city and tho western and northwest- ern sections of the country, but theinflux is fully equal to the outflow, indicaung that the move- ment of grain and products from the country has probably resched its maximum for tho winter. .

The foreign markets wero less weak, and the depression here, due to the fact and cxpectation of a pressteto get from under February deliveries, has vassed off, as the lond Las been greduslly distributed to parties able to carry it. "The receipts were rather more liberal to-dsy, snd the shipments not large ; but thers wns no especial pressure on ac- count of this fact. 5 There was no important change in the condition of the dry goods market. Both local aud in- terior buyers were ordering frecly, sad prices were again firm ell around. In brown and bleached cottons, prints, denims, stripes, and cambrics the tendency is still npward, as stocks are unnsually light, not only in distribators’ hands, but at the sources of the supply. In the grocery market a liberal amount of trading was done st uncaanged prices. Coffecs and sugars were o trifie more quiet than during the earlier days of the week, but they show no signs of weakening. Rice remains firm, as do also eirups, molasses, starch, Bpices, sudeoaps. Teas were in active request, and were held with great firmness. Cablo ad- vicesaro to the effect that, at Yokohama, pricea of Japans nre strong at5c advancs, snd an early upward movement here is looked for in consequence. Nonew features wore doveloped in connection with tho cheese, butter, fish, and canned goods markets. Dried fruits were sellin, more freely, and were firmor sl aronud, it ‘material advances in several descriptions. The mmore notable changes were an advance of 3¢ in pranes, o }cin apples, lcin pittod chérries and 5¢’ per box iu lsyeraad loose Muscatel raising. Nuts ruled quiet and less firm, ex- cept peanute, which aro higher. Walnuta are ‘4 off ¥ 2@3c per ib. Prunes and currrants are active, 58 thoy arenow the cheapest:articles in tlie list. The conl trade continues dull et former quotations. There is some talk of -advancing the prico of Lackawanna, but other descriptions aro expected to remain about where they are—at least for the present. There was only amoder- ato demand for pig-iron, paints, and prpac.stocl, and values were not subjected to any” quotable change. Oils were roasonebly sctive, with no changa in prices excopt. for extra lard, which was up 2, or to 83c. Carbon, linseed, whale, sperm, turpontine, aud other descriptions, ruled firm 28 previonsly quoted. > Lumbercontinuesto meet withan actjveinterior demand, and a firm fesling pervades the markot, particularly for lath, shingles, and tho common grades. It is undorstood that loggiog in the pineries is now progressing satisfactorily, and there is little doubt that the supply of lumber the coming scason will bo liberal. Tinners’ stock, nails, and metals were firm under s fair and steadily incressing demand. Iron was firm in sympathy with the Pittsburgh market, and trade was reported fair.

The market was rather weak early, nwi.nE to ‘discouraging advices from Liverpool, though that market was not quoted lower, which brought out heavy offerings. Later the tone of tho dispatches from New York indicated animprovement in tone, and an active export movement, the shipments from that port duritg the week having exceeded 800,000 bu. The last named fact accounts for the wezkness 1n Liverpool. A more active speculative demand then mprung up, especially as it was believed that the February deliveries had not only been provided for, but that 5o much had been taken up to carry into March that there would be but little cash wheat carried round on Monday. It was algo thought probable by s groat many op- erators that both Liverpool and New York are on the turn, having fallen as low a8 thoy will bear ; henco 8 greater willingness to take hold. There wasno inquiry for shipment, ex- cept for other grades than No. 2, but tho offer- ings of cash wheat were all willingly taken for carrying. We noto that tho comparatively low price prevailing on No. 1 spring for a long time past has induced partics who hold No. 2 for ehip- ment in the spring to make the exchange, which they have been recently able todoat 3c per bu, while the No. 1is worth at least 5c more than tho othor for milling purposes. Seller March opened at 81.26%, declined to $1.25%, rose to 31.255{, fell back to $1.25¢, advanced to 81.26%, and receded to 81.253 st the close, Boller February sold st $1.223(@1.233%, closing with cash No. 2 epring at SL2237.

Total, 120,800. Corn was more active, and less steady, atan average decline of 1{c, due to an early roport of further depression mn Liverpool. There was, however, a_good speculntive demand at the de- cline, especially in the latter part of the session, when private advices from New York quoted that mariet as a shade firmer, and the steadier feeling in which helped confidence in corn. It ia statod that a considerable part of the new corn resists all attempts to shell it in the country, on accouat of its exceasof moisture, due to the fact that it was secared in an itamature condition. It i is said that but little of our new corn will be ablo to bear the ocean passage, and this belief has caused a brisk European demand for corn of tho old crop, which resultod in the recent sharp rise in prices. Ths discrimination between old and new corn is already greater in New York thsn here, as our distillers have taken the latter qu:ée freely, to manufacture alcobol for export to Europe. Bome of their contracts are now abont to expire, aud they may want less corn in & week or two than mow.
