WIAT IT COSTS. "Phe past winter has been an_ exceedingly gay one in social circles, and the “swell” weddings and elaborate receptions have been quite frequent, calling forth all the extrava- fant adjectives in the vocabulary of the so- ciety reporter. Doubtless many who read the accounts of these atfairs have wondered how much money they have cost the hosts, and it was with a view of ascertaining these facts foracurious public that x Turpu: reporter called yesterday on Mr. IL. ML Kins- sley, the well-known caterer. Mr. Kinsley has had unlimited experience at weddings and receptions, and his facts and figures may be looked upon as correct. “Mr. Kinsley,” asked the reporter, “ can you give me afew estimates on the cost of social entertainments 2” “Certainly, sir. L suppose what you want is the cost per person. First, we will take the dinner-parties. The refreshments (wines and eigars excepted), attendance, flowers for table, cte., cost from $5 to $10 per person. ‘These figures a so include awning, caleium- lights, servants, tableware, etc.” * About the wines and cigars,” asked the is in price a * dinner it will » one quart of wine to each guest.” as to other entertainments ?” adies’ lunehes, withont wines, range from: 33 to $5 per plate. Of course we charge inore Where the number of is small. ‘The tex just about as_ Iunehes. Regular receptions receptions, invitations at 8 o’cluc range fram $1.50 to Sf per plate, not ingjuding wines. Afternoon receptions, from 3 to 6 o'cloe! pen: , the rates per plate. M: ceptions have 5 and dy not care for a regular dinner between hours.” “About the music, Mr. Kinsley,” asked ihe reporter, ‘how much extra expense does that involve ?”” “The leader generally charges from $5 to $7 per man, to distance, time, ete, As ar from four to nine men are uired, n the cost between $25 and for the orchestra.” What other expenses are attached toa arty or reception 2” Well, there are the house decorations and the invitations. These are more or | be orate. It is the prover thing to tions engraved. Besides these expenses there are numerous minor matters which are of no consequence by themselves, but mount up when taken as a whole.” “Have you any way of ascertaining at a party how many guests are in the house to be provided for >” “Oh, yes. Lhavea man at the door who keeps a sort of tally of the guests as they enter, und from him Llearn the exact num- ber Lam to provide for. ‘The host or hostess generally gives me the number of invitations issued when they give their orders, and I base my caleulations upon that, The system of counting saves 2 great deal.” From the aboye facts and figures it will be | seen that. these receptions are expensive affairs. ‘The average attendance is 200 guests. At say $3per plate the refreshments would cost $000. The_ fio: bill would probably swell it to £700, and the music would amount to about $40. Adding the en- graving of the i ations and the minor ex- penses, the tutal cost would be from $800 to! $1,000 for an average reception. The lunch and dinner parties would, of course, involve less expense. The reporter asked Mr. Kinsley what par- ticular troubles wi experienced by the host or hostess who was preparing to give 2 or reception. they are num! id. “The cipal one, though, is the deliv of the invitations.

Atarecent large wedding on the West Side no less than 100 invitations failed to reach their destin tions, all through the carelesness of mess: CTS. + _ “Another great trouble the ladies have is in making up their invitation lists. They are constantly in fear of slighting some friend, and very often.a little forgetfulness on their partieads to a vast deal of annoyance. _* Probably the great trouble the party- givers have to contend with is the reception of you reporters. Almost every lady that gives a reception would like to have it no- ticed in the columns of the daily papers, and she wouid be gratified if she knew how to treat the matter. Ata recent wedding in the city here the reporters were disposed of in a most. sensible way, At the house where the reception occurred they were furnished with a Jarge table, which was placed in a private room. On this table were complete lists of the ushers, bridesmaids, toilets, guests, presents, ete., and ali other informa- tion necessary to make up a complete and curate report. The reporters from the vari- ous papers called at the house, were shown to the room, which was in char; fa waiter, took their notes, and departed without dis- turbing any one or having to go into the par- lors. As it is conducted now, a reporter sends in his card to the of the house, who is in the midst of ving her guests, and he gets lit ittention and less intorma- tion. Being obliged to make up a report, he does the best he can, and the hostess sees in the paper the following morning a garbled and incomplete account of her reception. She blame no one for this but herself. Many think that if reporters are seen about the house the guests will think that they are anxious to make a splurge, but by providing for them as in the case I have cited every- thing would be we! MATRIMONIAL EVENTS.
