He ate a dish that cost $150,0W. and drank a Dumper stitl more precious.” “Caligula spent $100,000 on a ermple supper, and Vitelins ceused eating only while he slept. He was inost ex~ travagant in bis dafly fare. He squandered ‘$55,000,008, chietiy on his table, in seven months.” The Anglo-Saxon dized..in a rough and easy fashlon, enjoying bis wine with his friends, and digesting his diuner wll the better for the merry company. The succeeding generation made a step in advance, seeking in tight amuse- ment and the cultivation of external sppear- ances that excitement and gavety which aflluent circumstances would easily permit. And so are we carried through suceessive years, from the course revels of James I.’s Court to the inele- gant, but luxurious and brilliant, dinners of Charles 1., and thence to the superb banquet of the present day. ‘The art of dinner-civing, it would seem, had reached perfecnor.

An invitagon to diner bas more Social sig- nidecance and perhaps is nore appreciated, than any uther form of entertainment. It is a very igh compliment, sociaily speaking, from one person to another. A grand dinner canuot be éatistactorily given. unless under the manage- ment ot professiouai!s. ‘They nave made ois business 4 study, and know their trade so. tbor- pughiy that the slightest detail is seldom over- looked, They nave trained waiters whose quiet uity prevents the slichrest embarrassment, ything is furnished in order by the caterer, and should be fail in any one thing. on bim alone rests the biame, and be only receives the benetit of the mistuxe. “ It is now quite the fashion—one which seems to be increusing—to give large diucer-parties putside of your own bouse. ‘he bost and host- tsShave no care and nuunxicty: ev oes on with regularity and simouthn shefsof the cuisine are experts, and are paid very high salaries for their labe ‘The host o tuples a position prominent among his suest= pn_this occasion it devolves aimust entirely upon aim to dispense the bospitalities which, ou otber pecasiuns, the hostess with grace and tuet dis- penses, without. any essistance from the bost, unless he voluntarily comes forward and cour- teousty assists Tim hostess. ‘The etiquet to be observed toward the guests, and the minutue of the yeneral arrangement, should be properly understood to insure bar- mony and success. Juvitauons to dinner are 1s- sued in the name.of the host and hostess, and are enuraved upon note sheets. Monograms, srests, Or cots-of-arms ure stamped ig the dentre of sheets. The note paper should be plain. as well us the two envelopes which are used. Invitations should. be sent twenty- one day# belore the day appointed for a large dinner-party, ana ten or Jourteen previous to the day” ual dinners. It is courteous to regrets with as little delay as possible ufter we invitation hus been received; the hostess would otherwise be left in doubt as to whether the number would ve complete or not, und she would consequently be unabte to fill the vacant place or places. Dinner invitations can be lett an person, or sent Uy servant, ur tbrough the ‘post; the latrer is the usual and most conv ivat way. KOS. Ve-P. is used on dinner invita tions to a very great degree. Many people, well up in society laws, feel that it is are upon their knowledye of etiquet to put it on in- + vitauions requiring an anewer: but, neverthe- t Jest, many persons are thoughtless and careless. and these two bnbits would prevent a reply, un less they were reminded by those four well- Known characters. ‘The duty of issigng the invitation devolves upon tbe bostes®. Ench guest should be punctual to the hour named on the invimttion. should the hour tor dinner ve So'clock, the guest will urrive promptly ata quarter’ of 8; it would be ill-bred to arrive even ‘a few minutes g dinner-party. Well-bred people make a point of arriving in good season. Din- ners: wre seldom put olf tor tardy guests, nor. should they be. The hostess has tifteen minutes to make the few introductions required, and the host tomuke arrangements for escorts to the table, . A time-saving and much-favored fashion is to have the name of each gentleman, with tne lady he is to tuke down to dinner, printed on a curd. The servant will band bim atray when be enters, from which be will select the eard bearing bis game. A lady und gentleman, on peing un- nounced, would not enter the drawing-room side by side; :the lady or ladies would enter the room iu advance of the gentleman. The ust and hostess would advance and sbuke hands with the arriving guests. A indy will recognize aus gentleman whom she knows by a bow, and he will at once cross the roum nnd shake hands with ber. Ladies uppear fn full dress ut dinger, second only in elegance to full ball costume. The host will offer nis left arm to the lady of. the highest rank present when dinner is announced—and conduct her to the dinmg- room, the guests following: the bostess enters lust, with the bonored yentieman. Guests are directed to their proper places at taule by the dinner-cards at each plate. Atter locating them- selves, they rewain standing until the hostess takes her place. when she will imusediately seat berse the ladies sre seated next, aud then the wentiemen. It would be decidedly rude and dis- courteous to seat yourself betore the hostess is eexted. A geatemao would olfer the lady te escorts to dinner his left arm; she sits at bis Fight hand at table. ‘be menu Js still more beautiful this seazou than ever before.

China fs used tor everything; we ure ov longer enilled by tho stateéliness and ostentation of old plate: the eye finds something pleasant and axreeable to rest upon. whicaever way it turns. We were shown, among other things, 2 0 wiy-imported Minton china centre-piece, hand-painted, with bouquets Of buds and atiower border. It was oblong in abape, and about eight inches hich.

A Copelund punch-bow! was shown us that is some- thing entirely new in design and pattern; it wouid certainly enrich the favor of the punch coming from such an elaborate fountain. ‘Wines should be served with exact course at dinner. Etiquet demands this, and ‘no objection should be nade, whatever the opinion of a lady or gentleman may be on tho subject. Ti would uit to the bost and hostess to do go, and ‘an egotisti on their part to manifest. their con- vietions while accepting hospitality.

Conversation is the great point, after the dinner fiseif. -On.tnis rests tho brilliancy. the success, of the féte. When a Indy hus sented hersvif at the dinner-table, she will remove her gloves in an expeditious manner. The hostess bows to the lady at the right of the hust—when tne dinner is concluded. ‘This siznities that une is ubout to rise, which she docs inimicdiately, all the lidies rising also, while the guests follow her tothe drawing-roum. Cottee shouid beserved in the drawing-room half an hour after dinners” sometimes the hostess pours the coffee from the urn, the gen- temen banding the cups to the ladies, and the servant following with cream and eagar on a tray. We saw a ebariomg set of after-dinner cotfee-cups and saucers at the place already. re~, ferred to. Thecup represented a rose, nearly full blown, while the saucer represented the rose-leaves. These were Minton china. The cups were zold-lined, while the saucers were the natural color of the rosc-leaf, Teese tiny cups and sgucers were“ inexpensive,” the gentleman in churze of that- department’ told me. ‘they were $25 a dozen, be explained, but were ve! reusonable. compared with some that were shown afterward There no known rule as to the order in whieb guests would take theirleave.
