THURSDAY, OCT. 21, 1807. While we do not like to dispute t tie figures of old unale Sam, we must be ready to try to set our Cousins’ minds straight in regard to some of the 1890 nenstis figures which tell us that there are 5.281,557 overseers in this country and that only 226,427 of these are fe male overseers, planters and farmers against 5,065,130 males engaged in the same persuit. We are inclined to believe that if we count the wives of ‘hen-pecked husbands'’ the figures of old uncle Sam wofild come very near being changed so that the 5,281,557 would have to he placed on the credit side of the book in which Uncle Sam keeps account of the male and female overseers, planters and farmers in -this country, these in favor of women It is remarkable to note tliat of all of the many hundreds of different oc cupations followed by the Americans there is but one that is monopolized by the men: and strange as it is, we never hear the slightest complaint on the part of our girls and women, on account of the fairer sex not being represented in our Army and Navy. But in this particular branch of our necessary occupations there is none of the fairer sex connected with it. o —*—o According to the 11. S. senses for 1890, it appears like there s no imri edi ate danger of the. Locomotive Engine ers and Firemen loosing their jobs on account of tlie wemen offering to take their undesirable jobs foi less money, because it seems that only four female persons names were recorded in that little senses book which uncle Sam made such remarkable notes in t.he year 1890. While it is recorded that 79.459 men are engaged in running or fireiug uncle Sam’s locomotives. Siatistcs sho.v that out ot the saloon keejiers in this country there are not lesa than 2,275 of them females; and the remainder 1 89,187 only) are males Thus it is seen that more women are desirous of handling beer than are de sirous of handieng the Throttle or the Scoop, still a large number of these would-be female railroaders funnily scoop one of the dashing young R. R jncu and site controls him, then why is it not the woman’s indirectly run ning or fireing the locomotive? 60,404 is the number of persons en gaged in the millinerry business aceor ding to the last Lb 8. sensus. Of tin's number you will find all except 406 to he women. With this great odds against theie men who are in the ail important (ladiea’ hat manufacturing) business, to contend with; who can he so unkind as to abuse the beautiful high top Church and Operahouse bat; except the person (usually a man) who sits just behind the liigh-top-liat in our churches and operahouses?

HOW [0 ENTERTAIN. • —• Hooks innumerable have been written ’• the ai;tof entertaining, ,|ie duties of a hostess and tli i amen 'lesoflifu which for i.nyli usehold onst.itnie a cl arm when visiting. Six*iu 1 laws arc just about the same in town or out, while good breeding and sti rn formality go side bv sn.e when enter aining is in question. l’eilmps in no country his tlcro been a better example of social uwge* and good manners iba'l ill I'cal ft', where llie art was so finely exempli fied in the brilliant, salons of the beau tiful Recainiei and clever Mine. .Mora, where men of letters and women of mark met weekly to discuss the t-ptes of the times, to follow the abtu.se questions of .he day. and where sparkle and hriliiimcv seemed as it were, to thud, from each posoii. Sul, jorts, although weighty in themselves, became as clea- as lucid water when bandied bv these intellectual spirits who bad made then, an object ot re search for years. In >* these receptions were held (be farm Poe was often out at the clh-ws and the curtains faded and "oiu. - rl ther a tempting collation nor fashion able music was held out as an add i i Still when the tiona! charm. mm, were generally tune came, they •- crowded with men and women who delighted in the “feast of iw" How o* soul.” Nowadays true hospitiliitv is really at a very low ebb, especially :n big centers where there an ax crriml every day in the 7^ r ’ , s ° To meet one’s acquaintances it mils , bo at a formal dinner or company luncheon, or perhaps an afternoon re ception where guests appear, stay a few moments and then dcpri. The >d fashioned way <■! breaking bread informally or the uqu.xt, •‘Come and take salt, with me m m> attic,” has long since passed away. To the w< mao who fully understands the art of giving good dinners nei invitations are sent out at least some seven days in advauc.e that *5 if the function is a formal one. But formal or informal affairs of this sort are just about the same in methods devised for entertaining. The chief point required is that care should be taken as to those selected for the feast and that they should be so well grouped in lopics of conve"- satibn that an interest will be given to all. The clever hostess is often the go between, amiable to be sure, but without doubt the ruler of the occasion, insisting that ca-li guest should have a chance to offer an opinion which shall be listened to without interruption In the g’vmg of social functions, particularly din ners, continental people, who P“ rll ‘’l ,s are the finest of entertainers, declare that one hour is the allotted turn anv formal meal. At the expiration of'that period, be it. breakfast, dinner or luncheon, the conversation gener ally lags, and wliat was a delight in the beginning becomes in the end a bore. Afternoon teas have had a long reign, and, although still m favor, are often stupid affairs, owing to the fact that the hostess is a poor one. Of all social gayeties tha afternoon reception is the one where, being a promiscuous assembly, introductions should be given. We all know that women as a class are sticklers for j propriety and are unwilling to reeng ! nize each other unless formerly pre sented, however much the rooftree is respected. As for the American man, naturally he has but little time for everyday social affairs, however enjoyable they may be, and it is a very wise conclusion that even in the big centei s, where distances are so gt'eat and time so precious, it is really a compliment for a man to call and pay his respects. Afternoon functions, to ho a suc cess, require generalship on the. pal t of the hostess. A word here or an introduction there, is much appre ciated, so that each at least should receive some small share of attention, and if a line like this is well followed out “wallflowers” will indeed he scarce in that drawing room. Inal gatherings where men and women assemble naturally the touch and go of small talk generally occi - pies most of the time, yet underneath this crust of vapid sayings there is aUvnvs at, intellectual longing that creeps ut> toward the surface and takes a hold even in the dullest of : places. Perhaps in the giving of social functions, especially if it is a sit down affair, a tactful host, ss might to each of her followers give surreptitiously a slight knowledge of the person presented. A few words will suffice for the woman of oriinary culture, who will then know what topics to introduce —for it is a woman's pre rogative always to commence conver sation —making for the time interos ing themes r.ud thereby adding to | the coin fort of lier hostess, who will gladly thank her afterward for her l wise consideration The clever hos ; tess is one that is eagle eyed—in faM, | a veritalee Cyclops, who at a gbtnee ! lakes in all shortcomings and brings out the salient points of those who will do her credit. Anolhir impor tant duty is that the hostess siiou.d consider the .strength of her guesl and by that -e governed. A netful hour at no. ri and alone,- uu disturb ad. is boon to anv visitor. To entor j iai apm son all day is inhuman. There are times for retirement which | for both parties are a relief. Ir tact j iho city Woman gcncrull considers | herself exceedingly lucky if her visi— j itor is one who can amuse herself at i least some hour- out of the .24, re | serving, of course, the evenings for special pleasures in wlia h the host as well as the hostess joins in for the amusement of their guest. Hut with country entertaining the art, is (pule on another plane. I hen good form is perhaps more difficult than in town. Invitations booked for any season should be sent out sonic three weeks in advance, so that an acceptance or a declination can be promptly received. Above all, let invitations state the day and hour for arrival and let the time also for departure no explicitly given. I lu.s is only due to oth-r-gnest.s who g-.-i erallv make ilieu- prepuraii tin . ones as far as visir- are concerned. At all country houses the guest room shmi’d be Lilly equipped w-ith the home comforts so necessary to a guest, such as the. well appointed writing desk, comfortable bath robe and w arm slippi rs. Well bred entertainers at all times allow their domestic duties to go on as usual, believing that any guest admitted to tke hearthstone will be willing to contorm to the rules which govern the home. It is bad form to urge a visitor to attend weekly or even Sunday ser vices at church, to insist upon long walks whick she and es not care to take or drives which at certain hours indulged in are sure to result in a bad headache, in all such matters gut sis should do as they pieicr. There are times when hostess should bo deaf, dumb and blind. Ig nore, if possible, the peculiarities of all guests. Unpleasant humors car, be easi'-p warded off eitli. r by a w’el maintained rigid silence or a still preserved charming manner. Of course if the visit, is a protracted one, after tin scenery is exhaustad and when days follow days, tile home routine naturally becomes dull. It is tben that the hostess wonders how a change can be made. One infallible rule is sure to mend lnatte’-s, and that is the bringing in of some two oi three young people wh-> will stir up the atmosphere and ne!p amuse your , ;s au-1 themselves without know mg it. So, after all, the art of entertaining is simple, and the way that never fans is to surround yourself with agreeable people in whom there is an average diversity of taste. And to each and every one h t there be a heartfelt sympaty, which is really the cardi nal virtue in good breeding. Mbs. Olive . Bell Buxom.
