Good Manners at a Dixcount—Social Events -- Personal Notes, Nearly every one likes to see boys have a good time, and the vpportunities given them for enjoyment nowadays are a good deal greater than in years gone by. The holiday season fs pre-eminently the young folks’ time, when John and Harry have returned from college or school and ail their young friends are invited to meet them, and they are invited to meet their young friends. They ali have a good time at Christmas tide, and no one begrudges it them. Young folks’ parties are usuaily very preity affairs to look at and to par- ticipate in, but older folks this year are beginning to wonder what has become of the good manners that used to belong to young men of respectable families when they went into society. The stories ihat are going the rounds of the behavior in society of some would-be men are very surprising, to say the least, when one takes into consideration their bringing up and the high social position of the families they represent. At a young folks’ pariy the othcr evening the hostess was particularly desirous that the young men should refrain from smoking in the dressing room, as neither her hus- band nor her sons smoked. She, therefore, pinned a placard conspicuously om@the wall cf the bed room which was set apart as the young men's dressing room. It was pulled Gown early in the evening, and when the hostess entered the room after the guests had gone the tobaceo smoke, chiefly from cigarettes, almost sickened her. At another young folks’ party a short time ago the young gentlemen, whose ages varied from Gfteen to twenty-one, were not satisfied with -moking in their dressing room, but took the lid cf a dainty work basket for a cigarett>. ash and stump tray. They did not stop at this; a roll of money, fortunately for the owner not a very large amount, was taken from the lady's desk drawer. A memento of a social ciub bung on the wall. It was not intrinsically valuable, but it was prized by its owner, the head of the house, because it was the gift of & dead friend. Some one—and be it remem- bered.*it_ was a guest, partaking of Christ- mastide hospitaiity—tore this down and car- ried away a portion of iit, probably as a trophy, emulating the college spirit, which induces undergraduates to decorate their rooms with stolen signs and advertisements. No matter what the spirit, It was a desecra- tion, and ‘s so considered by the hostess and all who lave heard the story, and they are many. A sad commentary on the progressive- ness of the times is the bedtime tale told a mother by her daughter that at a young folks’ party from which she had just re- turned every young man with whom she had denced that evening, with one excep- tion, smeiled so strorgly of liquor that her pleasure was spoiled. As no wines were served with the refreshments, it is pre- sv:med that some of the beardless young men carried private bottles. In fact, the speed of the modern youth is becoming so great that parents are keeping a closer watch than ever over their young daughters. A prominent Washington physician's daughter had accepted an invitation a short time ago to become one of a smail party of young folks, chaperoned by the mother of one of the girls, for a short ex- cursion out of town. The physician knew all of the party but one, a young man about seventeen years of age, home from school for the holidays. He called upon the chaperon, whom he knew well, and said: “Who is this young ? De you know what he ts—not what he seems to be?" “I do,” she replied. “He fs a lovely boy—like one of my own family, and he has been a warm friend of my daughter's since childhood.” “If you know him,” said the physician, “I am perfectly satisfied.” Then, with a sigh, he added: “If you knew, as I do, how the young people who move in what are considered the best social circles, misbehave nowadays, you would not be surprised at my anxiety to know with whom my daughter associates.” At Corcoran Hovse last night an assem- blage of about two hundred society not- ables and a cot:Jiien, in which sixty couples danced, marked the celebration, which Sen- ator and Mrs. Brice gave the twenty-first birthday of their son, Mr. Kirkpatrick Brice. American beauty roses were used in profusion through the drawing rooms. The inclosed balconies, carpeted with rugs and arranged with chairs and sofas and prettily lighted, were a fascinating feature as usual. Two orchestras played alter- nately, so that music was always heard. Supper was served from 11 until the com- pany separated at 3 or 4 this morning. At the stroke of midnight a flourish of trum- pets anncunced the New Year and the dancing ceased while happy wishes were exchanged. Mrs. Brice received in a suverb costume cf black satin, brecaded in flowers; Miss Brice wore white aid Miss Kate Brice pale blue satin. Mrs. J. J. Brice of California wore black silk crepon. After 1 o'clock the cotillion was danced. von Ketteler led with Miss Brice. The favors were beauties. The souvenir set were scent bot- tles for the girls and a rabbit's foot, also silver mounted for the men. The amusing figure was the balloon, when both men and girls carried these toys, and some of the other pretty trifles were sashes and jew- eled orders, calendars and picture frames, tape measures and fans, ball bouquets of violets and carnations and confetti Hke one sees at an Italian fete. Among the guests from out of town were Mr. and Mrs. Elisha Dyer, Col. and Mrs. Frederick D.
