GATHERINGS AT COUNTRY HOUSES Mrs. George W. Childs Will Reside Here This Winter. THE LATEST GOSSIP The curtain has been rungydown at New- port, but the play goes on just the same, though the actors are in smaller groups and distributed about the autumnal resorts, Lenox, Westchester, Long Island, the Adirondacks and Tuxedo. The real proper thing, however, is to open up your country house, or if you have no such haven get yourself and your horses and traps, dogs and guns invited by some friend who has. If you happen to be a charming woman, young or old, it makes no difference; your chances are equally good to have yourself and your boxes very comfortably landed in the same place. The tendency to Ameri- can country life among the leisure class, who only have time to go to these places during the autumn, is to make life within and without of them thoroughly English. Out-of-door sports of all kinds are abund- antly provided. If the house party meets at breakfast, the meal is most informal, and while the hostess pours the tea, mind you, beginning the day thoroughly English, the men help themselves and the ladies to Portions of the cold joints on the sideboard, or a hot rasher is served before all hands get jam for their bread. Luncheon is equally informal, but the menu is more ex- tensive, and, in fact, amounts to the old- fashioned midday dinner of our forefathers. Dinner is the great function, and is not served till & It is so lengthy that it occupies the best part of the evening, and most satisfactorily, too, as unless a dance or charades are to follow, there is absolutely nothing else to employ the time, especially for the men. The number of these country establishments, which are really moderately sized hotels, is continu- ally increasing, and the possession of one indicates large means. The usher and the maid of honor are again personages of great importance in the social world. Brides and grooms are, of course, strictly necessary to the same events in which the former figure, but the effects which are produced by an ample supply of attendants contribute largely to their success. Wedding invitations have be- come quite plentiful, for the last week and the first weeks of October are pleasantly dotted over with the happy nuptial oc- casions. So far no weddings are announced for St. John’s or St. Matthew's, or many of the churches in the extreme West End, which would indicate that society, as it feels itself constituted for a winter's career, is not as yet giving or taking in marriage. Along in November will be plenty time for all that, when everybody is in town and the world of diplomacy and fashion can be re- lied upon to be fully represented in person and by gift. A wedding in which society here is inter- ested will take place in New York on the 7th of November, the bride being Miss Julia Kilpatrick, daughter of Mrs. Kilpatrick, widow of Gen. Judson Kilpatrick, and the groom-expectant, Lieut. William Carroll Rafferty of the first artillery. Mrs. Kil- patrick and her daughters are living in New York at a hotel. This is a most comfortable time for so- ciety in Washington. There is no per- of the whole year when you can more readily adopt the rea! go-as-you-please Bait. It is too soon to have the carpets and Tugs put down and the curtains hung, and, therefore, the summer linens are yet in place, summer gowns are getting an occa- sional airing and the Jong evenings around the lamp-lighted table are a treat which those who intend to plunge in the social stream later on must too soon forego. There is a gcod bit of amateur housekeeping go- ing on, mistresses taking the place of maids and a few of the sterner stuff are doing the family cooking, and boasting of it, too. Simplicity is rather the order of the da! and those who are going back to it for choice seem very happy and thoroughly in- dependent about it. Mrs. George W. Childs will, after all, spend the winter in Washington, and has rerted Mrs. William Lay’s house on Jeffer- son place. Mrs. Childs intends to begin the erection of her K street mansion very shortly, and anticipates much pleasure as well as employment in being here to watch the progress of the work. Mrs. William Clagett and family have re- turned from Europe, and are once more at their 1€th street hcme. Mr. and Mrs, Clif- ford Perin are also here, and will remain throughout the autumn.

From the Buffalo Express. “Honesty in politics?” said the man who was dining at the table next the window. “Huh, there isn’t any such thing. That's a fiction that was played out long, long ago. Nowadays, it is the man with the biggest fortune who gets the offices. I tell you that this country has reached a deplorable state “How's that?” asked the man who sat across from him. “Why, there is no honesty in business, so- cial or political life.
