THE EVENING STAR. | OUR ECONOMICAL SOIREE. | Economy in household expenses has come to be the leading idea of terrestial existence in | the minds of Mrs. Dobb and myself. Wecal- | culate closely. We never did before since we | ‘were married thatI can remember. Bat when butter cost at the rate of five cents [a dab, and | everything else in proportion, housekeeping expenses become a serious matter. I wasmusing upon the announcement that there was arise of three cents the pound on veal since the daybefore—musing and eating yeal, atthe breakfast table when Mrs. Dobb spoke: Pe James, did you know to-day was Sallie’s Dirth-dsy i” «Isit!” said it “How old is she now!” | «She is six years old and I have promised to hold & little party for her this evening.” «Susan, will it cost anything?” «Why, butatrifie, James. Besides. Sallie has never had a birthday party, you know.” « Sallie should not have her birthdays come so often, wife, in such times of these. How jong is itsince I bought her a self-operating Jocomotive for a birthday present?” « That wasSusie, my dear. It’s perfectly distressing to me the way you do mix those children up.” “But what will this soiree cost us, Susan? You are forever preaching economy to me, and 1’d like you to practice it a little, and let me preach, ‘It’s more tun to preach. I like to preach, first rate.” + Oh! there will have to be some nuts and ap- ples bought.” ais * And some candy of course? 4g ” py A baby party, and no candy «If you won't interrupt me at every word, James, 1 tell you. 1 have bought two quarts of molasses, and 8m going to make the candy myself. Now there’s one of my economical +hifts. I never got any credit for it.” «But what a daupy job, Susan. Stretching candy sticks a body's fingers up so.” “ You didn’t mind it when you were a yeung man, Mr. Dobb. Have yon forgotten the eaney parties we used te have atour house when was a girl, James! Such giorious times &@s we used to have in thatold kitchen? Why, it was atone of those candy parties that you aid me the first compliment I eyer received ‘om you.” «+ Ab! what was that!” P< said I was the sweetest girlin the room “That was because you was daubed all over with molasses, my dear—as you'll be to-night ain.” oar should think, James, that it would be a leasure torevive, here in the city, the recol- Feetton of those old days at the farm-house. Do you remember those big hooks in the ceiling of the kitchen that you threw a great twist of | candy over to stretch it easier, when Mary Howard helped you!” “Ah, those were happy days!” I said, mus- ingly, sipping my coffee. «You enjoyed candy-making (ica, James.” «Yes, said I, coming back to the present and economy. ‘I enjoyed a great manv fool- ish thipgs when I was young and innocent— eourting, for instance.’’| «Weil, L haven’t lost any zest for simple | pleasures,” said Mrs. D., with enthusiasm. I | thing it will be splendid to make the candy. I | had a thousand times rather make it than buy | 1 | ! | | «Which accounts for one of y oureconomical shifts that you never getany credit for. Eh, my dear.” Mrs. Dobb looked daggers at me. +s Well, Susan, let’s see what it will cost What's molasses the pound now?” «I paid sixty cents tor two quarts.” And apples?’’ j “A peck will supply the party; thai will be sixty cents more.” | “And say a dollarand a half for nuts. That | will be three dollars and seventy cents. It | will be a very economical soiree.’ | «1 should say it would, Mr. Dobb.” i “Oan I, papa!” said Sallie, looking up at me, ! with her spoon between her lips. «Can you what, darling! Have the party! Why, of course you can, yeu little blessing!” And I helped her to another spoonful ot gravy, out of the full tondness of a father’s heart. «“Won’t it be bully, eis!” cried Fred from his side of the table. i How that boy does pick up theslang of this vicious age isastonishing! It’s no use reprov- ing it. “Boys will be boys,” as a friend of | mine once remarked when he sat on a bent pin placed in his chair by his oldest son in 4 frolic- | sgmie moment. j \« What a good papa he is!’ whispered Sal- lie to her sister, next plate east. “Oh. he’s gay!” slanged Fred. I gaye Sallie some more gravy. _ “Do you like kisses, papa!” put in Nellie. eee everything good, dear. Whydo you jecause we're going to haye all the girls | kiss you ight.” “They won't be big enough, Nell—not half. I prefer big girls to little ones.’” «James! said Mrs. Dobb, reprovingly. «Oh, Mary Ann Smith is a great big girl! said Neil. +‘Her dresses almost come down to the ground.” «Do they? That’s encouraging. Is Mary Ann coming'” « Yes and two other big girls. They write compositions.” ; «Compositions! They must be getting very old?” Compositions are such a proof of matarity among these little bodies! Did you ever notice aun «Bring the nuts as you come to dinner, Jamee,” was my wife parting injunction. « All right, my dear.” Iwas detained down-town that afternoon later than usual, and when I came bome in the evening, I found the four little Dobbs sit- ting in solemn state in the parlor, awaiting the coming of the guests. Shortly after the door bell rang, and the children were in @ hign state ot commotion. Sallie jumped down from the sofaand made a dash for the door, but suddenly recollectrsg herself, returned to her perch and smoothed her bands over her apron . Bridget ushered into the parlor & string of seven boys of assorted sizes, who ranged them- selves along the wall without saying a word. Bat there wis any amount of subdued giggling | among them. ‘The next arrival was acluster of little girls, looking as sweet as June roses. I went outto tea, and when I looked in again, the room was filled with the neighbors’ pro- geny, including Mary Ann Smith and two other big girls. Such a staid conclave I never saw before in my life. There they all sat, as bashful as mice, never uttering & loud word, and scarcely car- ing to look each other in the face, It was yast- ly amusing to me to observe the conventional awe under which those boys, especially, la- bored: the very boys that had been saluting each other rougbly inthe street an hour be- fore, perhaps pulling each other's hair. As sedate as deacons now. The ice was broken in this way: One of the big girls, by the way of opening the ball, said toa youngster ef som: eight sum- mers, named Joey Perry. “It’s a pleasant evening, Mr. Perry.” «Ob, bow are you Mr. Perry.” burst forth our Fred, derisively, at the top of his voice. And then such a broadside of laughter! In jess time than it takes me to write it the youngsters were in a hubbub as noisy as the meeting had before been sedate. : ‘They played the «Pi otfice,” and “Cedar Swamp,” and +Forfeits,” and all that sort of | games, whose principal feature isan abun- | dance of kissing. I wentinto my study and began writing. The merry burst of laughter came echoing to my ears, but they did not dis- turb me. 1 am a fond father. Ove of the big girls came into my &ugust presence and threw a cushion at my feet, on which sbe kneeled, pouting atme @ pair of ripe red lips. | Who's this’ said J, laying down my pen. | “Thats Mary Aru” cried Fred from the doorway, which was thronged with giggling | little spectators. “She wants you to kiss her.” “Ab! said I, as memory suddenly recalled the old time game. “How many can I have!” “Twenty!” “Thirty! “A handred!” crieda dozen yoices. «Well, I'll take three,” said I, “and you May have the rest, Fred.” “Can't see it!” slanged the young hopefal, backing off. The young lady struggled from generation io generation of young ladies, and the children | screamed with delight. “Hold her, Mr. Dobb!”” “Kiss her, Mr. Dobp!”” «Rub her nose with your whiskers, papa!” That last was trom Fred, who had memo- ries. We left them alone at last. 1 don’t believe in old folks iatruding too much on the enjoyment of the little ones. They get along a great deal merrier by themselves. So Mrs. Dobb shut the parlor door and left them alone, while I shut myself up In my study. Abont hal¥-past nine I wentont and founa the little guests had gone Sallie was missing, but we presently found her on the stairs in the hall crying bitterly. “Why, what’s the matter with my little bird?’ saad 1, taking her to my arms. She wes loth to tell, but atlast she sobbed outtbatshe had been kissed too much, and had bad ber six years pocnded on ber little back, in honor of birthday usace, till she was gore allover. Added to which one of the boys had caught hold of her dress and tora itin & shocking manner. | The child was soothed and put to bed, and then I went into the parlor. Oh! spectacle for an ecmomical pirent! My statuette of Senator Dougias—omly a cast, buta gift from the sculptor—nad been knocked over as it stood in @ corner, and its head broken off short. There was & deep scratch a foot long on the piano, and the music was one Hideous dab of molasses candy frou first to last. 4 jamp had been tipped over on the Brussels | notice of the time, | sale. he sold the east T carpet in the middle of the room. Aud worst ; of all, some ambitious youngster had been at and bed Seokee | ahele through | & beautiful'landécape—an origi- nal Sontag, which I valued highly. SE “Ob, Susan! Suean! | cried I, “behold the | havoc of the economicai soiree!” Mrs. Dobb stood aghast at the spectacle. oars you compute this damage calmly,” I asked. But Mrs, Dobb had no answer for me. 1 got ont a pencilanda piece of paper, and Made a reckoning. Beheaded Douglas. | Mutilated Sontag. -50 | Molasses candy and other damages t piano and music 0 Ruined Carpet... “A total, my dear, of $195.” a “I think you are extravagant, James,” said 1 my wife. “A little Spaulding’s glue will pa the statue’s head in place.” $ “And then you could tie a red ribbon round his neck to hide the crack, couldn’t you, dear!” 1 said in a tone of intense ireny. “As for the painting, seems to we you might mend it in some way, James, sincé you make those things yourself.” « Those things! That’s a wife for an artist!” ‘«The piano and music I will see what I can do with; and as for the carpet we can get a rug for the centre o: the room, and the spot will never show ” “Another expense, my dear.” «James, I have wanted arug for that room this long time. For my part, I don’t know as I’m very sorry, At least, it can’t be helped now? and there are no more birthdays in the family this year.” “Let us bé thankful for that then,” said I. eS "'PPHIs 18 TO GIVE NOTICE, That the subscri- ber has obtained from the Orphans’ Vourt of Washington county, in the District of Columbia, letters of administration on the personal estate of Dr. Albert Tyler, late of Washington D.
