SOMMENT AWSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN. BY ONE
OF THEM.
One of the features in society life
durin g the forthcoming'season is dining
out. Dinners at I'which men only are
present, and which are styled “men’s
dinners,” are conspicuously numerous,
some of which are invitation dinners
and-others public dinners; and, al-
though these annually take place and
menas-annually attend them, yet the
majority do so from a sense of duty
rather than with the idea of being
amused, for the general complaint
amongst most men is that they are
f‘too long,” and altogether rather te-
dious. affairs. ‘
Political dinners and dinners given
to men :whoare supposed to deserve
well_sof.‘theiit country are equally well
attended, while calling forth a similar
feeling of enforced compliance.
The after-dinner speeches take up a
good deal of time, say the guests, and
these complimentary banquets, on the
whole, often cause not a few of them to
wish they might be houored with the
presence of ladies, the wives and
daughters, of the assembled company.
Atmany-public dinners, hospital din-
ners, literary, artistic, scientific, and
others, the female element has been
introduced with great success, and why
should not this sensible custom be ex-
tended still further over a much larger
ranged public dinners than is the
caseat- present; for men proverbially
prefer. the company of ladies at the
dinner hour to that of their fellow-men,
and! why should not this be generally
granted to them ?‘
These large functions, essentially
. known as “men’s dinners,”.are quite
apart from these pleasant little dinners
of from four to eight guests, all more
or less intimate, and given by popular
men. and. their friends at their clubs or
at one-or other of the smart hotels.
It is. needless to say that invitations
to these dinners find ready acceptance
and appreciation. Again, the largest
number of dinner parties are given by
society in general; dinners at which
. theguests number fromtuenty-four to
eight, according to where they are
given and by whom. .
Three weeks is an average notice to
give when sending out invitations, al
though séne extend it to five. weeks,
and others shorten it to a fortnight.
The reason for giving a long notice
"is obvious; it enables a hostess to secure
the guests she most wishes to entertain,
and if not fortunate enough to succeed
in. this, she can at least take her chance
with a fairer hope of success of filling
up refusals, and also of equalizing
numbers to her complete satisfaction.
A preponderance of ladies at a dinner
party is very likely to occur, for, the
more popular the men, the greater the
' difficulty in finding them disengaged;
and so as many as ten invitations are
often issued to men, of which five only
areaccepted, and the refusals have to
be filled up again and again to secure
adesired number. -

from September 6 to September 5. The
change was necessary as the priests of
the Hartford diocese hold a conference
September 6, and it is desired to have
