The Party at General Wheato idence, a Tieception to a Qanr- tette of Young Autocrats and Other Not Slang. 1t 18 alarming to observe, on sober refiec. tion, what a stronghold in the social small tatk slang has grown 1o be and how se- riously this poor make-shift for wit and originality, interferes with the interchanve of improving thought Some one has cleverly sa “It is putting our thought into the cheapest and most slip shod ready-made clothing,” which unconven- tional dress is the result, partially of in- dolence and partially of indifferent command of the langunge. It is casy and natural for the carcless to avold the hother consequent ou fitting words t thought by adopting some set phrase which, by its very goneral use, wards off any responsibility that might accrue from indi- viduality of expression. The vocabulary of slang grows amazingly and proportionateiy distressing to refic ed hearing, od tdiomatic phrases are often prevented by the valgar misuse of them un- 1il, s slang, they can_ scarcely be wccepted as a part of the vocabulary of refined meu and women. Unhappily this perversion of the language is not confined to the Bywery class, but s the every day parlance of many who la, claim to birth and breeding. In the salons formed about beautiful women as a nuclous, the attraction dul not rest alone with beauty, 19 with o pedantic stilted habit of On the coutrary, & iree, g the language, with en- waging turns of thought and expression, to gether with a cultivated voico lent a charm o the most trivial subject Often the manuer is of wore moment than the matter und a “fount of Kuglish unde- filed" does not demand anything stiff, formal or elaborate.

On Thursday evening Mr. and Mrs, Nel- son Patrick gave a dinner with covers laid for twenty-two guests, the invitations rea A housewarming at the ‘New Huppy Hol- low,' and the party consisted of such near and dear friends as Mrs. Putrick declared Mr. Patrick huad dreamed of baving about him directly tho house was completed: Sen- ator and Mrs. Mandoarson, Mrs. Brown. Mrs. Eita Hurford: Matheson, Mr. and Mrs. Lyman Richardson, Judge and Mrs. Waie- ley, Judge and Mrs. Doane, General and Mrs. Cowin, Mr, and Mrs. Ramsey and Mr. and Mrs. Henry Cates, with Mr, Robert Pat- rick, who has returned from New York, and Mr. John Patrick. ‘The table was simply enchanting. Mrs, Patrick’s diner service is gold and white, the candelabra of Fronch gilt, the vases of ‘white and gold Venetian glass. The flowers were white roses and yellow chrysauthe- mums that would faivly rival sunshine. It was, in truth, u picture that inclined oue to sit down and give one's eyes a treat, Scarcely had the guests taken their places when the strains of some delicious littie Spanish airs came floating in, 50 sweet, 80 delicate, 8o far away as to render the hearers almost breathless with delight. This was equally unexpected by the hostess, who looking about for an explanation found it in the assurance that this was her surprise, ‘Thie dinner was a_perfect success und per- fectly served from the beginning to the sweatsand trifles and the coffee scrved later in the arawine room. Dullness stops when champagne pops and mirth and banter and bright tulk take its place and the old stories of old times were tola in such u style as to put & premiuw on riper years. - General Manderson was in his happiest vein and told any amount of laughter pro- voking anecdotes, with some bon mots ot Senator [ivarts ihit stamped that gentleman anew as o capital diner-out. The stories were s0 good that the wines of which there were claret, punch. sherry and two varieties of champagne, had been negiected for quite twenty minutes, when one of the women archly questioned: “Mr. Patrick what was v that the governor of North Carolina said 10 the governor of South Carolina?’ It is unnecessary to say that this sally was an- swered by a toast, Mrs. Mathison recited charmingly several solections, awong others o paravhrase of “The Blue and the Gray,” where the eyes of two loyers were blue and gray and the re- port a kiss. ‘The gowns of the women add much to the picture of a dinner and in this instance they did their full duty. * Mrs. Patrick, a blue faille gown trimmed with quantities of white lace, Mrs, Yat: o black net cut with square neck and elaborately trimwmed with iet.
