The company gathered a family dining room, must, in” the nature of things, 'be a swall one, and it should be thor- oughly congenial. Tho tact, therefore, of a dinner hostess shows itself first when she sends outher invitations, as many feasts have been spoiled by 1ll-chosen guests as by in- competent cooks, Nov is it necessary tha the company should be old acquaiutances; indeed, sychi a party is likely to bo du FTore fresher when the soci biUliivied, It is, however, judicious to o ar- range it that each guest is' acquainted with at least one other in the company.

Cruger's second novelette, *‘A Succossful Man,” isa very knowing book, saysLife. It illustrates tho remark of o lover of paradox that ‘‘domesticity is tho reatost foo of American society.” Daniel Lawton, a characteristic succossful man, roso through' the carcers of a dozen men. Ho married early a wife who was suited to but one career. Lawton awoke in middle life, on the eve of his greatest achievement, to the realization that a placid, domestic life might not furnish the groatest stimulus to an am- bitious man. Ho was not 4 weak man, or a vicious man; he merely recognized what every thoughtful man knows to be true, and which Lord Bacon long go putinto the famous remarks about a wifo and children being “hostages to fortune.”” The usual veply to mako is thatsuch a situation is “‘rough ou tke women.” Without being un- generous, is it not fair to add _that_ it is oc- casiounlly “rough on the men?” Of course there have been two ways out of the dilemma in this country—the adaptability of Ameri- can women and the divoreo court. Aud it is surely safo to say that the former way is the more popular—for the American worman has proved herself avlo to ‘riso in the world about as rapully as the American man—and, indeed, it usually takes s good mau to keep pace with her in the race. The Frilliant Reception The reception and dancing party given by Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Williams and Miss Mar- garet Williams atthe Millard Thursday even- ing was undoubtedly oue of the handsomest receptions of the season, The parlors and dancing hall were clab- orately decorated with flowers, palms aud hot house plants, Lilies of the valley stood in roso bowls, and jardinieres on the mantels and on the tables which had been prettily ar- ranged for the oocasion. And in addition to the wealth of cut flowers which made the room look like & rose garden, large aumbers of pots_containing flowering Jupanese lilies, were offectively placed in the reception room und_ ball room, making a beautiful back ground to the aark foliage of the palms and ferns. A pretty feature of the ballroom was the bank of pahws which had been built in the northeast corner behind which the orchestra ‘was stationed. 1t was a very decided im- provement over the screens which have here- tofore d ryice as a dividing lino between the musicians and tho guests, and at the same time did not jmpede the sound wa No programmes wore used, bannoers being substituted with the order of dances lettered thereon.
