SOCIETY APPROVES PROPOSAL
TO ABANDON CABINET
CALLS.
The recent publication of the fact
that the wives of cabinet offilers are
seriously considering not returning calls
has attracted much interest and com
ment, the latter entirely of a favorable
nature. Prominent women have for
some years been finding calling a tax
0 n their strength, ann the feeling against
it is strong, says The Washington Post.
Mrs. James Pinchot thinks calling as
it is done now might as well be dis
posed of by a card scattering machine,
and believes the day when '.‘ome one
will invent one not far distant.
“I think,” said Mrs. Pinchot, “that
the ladles of the cabinet can be much
better occupied. The social side of an
official woman’s existence is not its
only or its most important side. There
are too many fields where her time and
interest would be of read benefit. It
seems to me cards could simply be mail
ed. That would place the burden on a
secretary, and the hostess could devote
her time and strength to receiving and
entertaining those who call upon her,
keeping open house certain days.”
“I do feel,” said Mrs. Christian Hem
xnick, “that in acknowledgment of in
vitaUonc calls should be made in per
son. If the pleasure of ones company
has been requested at a certain house,
It is the least one can do to go to that
house long enough to ask whether its
mistress is at home. Beyond that l
don’t think anything should be expect
ed of the ladies of the cabinet. This
eternal calling means nothing at all, and
everybody is bored to death with it. It
would be a blessing if it passed into
oblivion.”
Mrs. Richard Gibson recalls the open
house kept by Mrs. John Carlisle dur
ing the second Cleveland admlnhnra
tlon.
“Many times,” said Mrs. Gibson “have
1 assisted Mrs. Carlisle on her day at
home. Hundreds of persons, who came
with the sole object of gormandizing
(for a real feast wat spread) and saying
they had been at the secretary's home,
poured through the drawing rooms. Mrs.
Carlisle, of course, perfectly understo .1
this, but felt it to be part of the role
of a public man’s wife, and preferred
to entertaining even strangers to mak
ing the countless calls otherwise en
tailed.”
Mrs. N. S. Lincoln said: "I have
known Washington society for a great
many years, and have observed that
things which arouse resentment at one
time at others do not ever create com
ment. I remember that Mrs. Hamilton
Fish, wife of President Gran t secretary
of sta'e, who was regarded as the
‘glass of fashion, and the mold of form’,
)as most punctilious about returning in
Jsrson every card left n *i her. To fuel)
n extent did she carry this that it is

related that one of the persons whom
she felt in duty bound to call upon had
to leave her wash tub to receive her
distinguished visitor. In these days tho
first lady, surrounded by the ladies of
her official family, received every Sat
urday afternoon and the cabinet ladies
kept their Wednesdays as well. Thus
the receiving ordeal had to be gone
through twice a week.
“The ladies of President Cleveland’s
first cabinet, and I think of the second
also, abolished personal calling, and
sent their cards around by the depart
ment wagons. This become most un
popular. Then they announced they
would can personally in acknowledg
ment of invitations, but many persons
did not wish to bid for a call, a«■ they
regarded it, and a good deal of ill feel
ing existed throughout the administra
tion as I recollect.”
According to Mrs. John B. Henderson,
the abolition of the calling obligation
for the women of the cabinet is “a.
splendid idea.”
“As a matter of fact,” said Mrs. Hen
derson, “when the women of congress
founded the Congressional club It
with the idea of doing away with cal
ling among themselves and making ifie
club a rendezvous where you would real
ly learn to know each other. Calling
has grown to be a perfect nuisance;
every one recognizes the fact. Also it
is natural that out of thousands of carcis
seme get lost and are not returned. This
supposed neglect almost gives rise to
a vendetta. The ladies of Mrs. Cleve
land’s cabinet made no calls, and they
were quite as popular as any other cab
inet I can recall. I do,not see how the
imputation of' oelng undemocratic can
be laid at the door of this decision. It
is not a question of democracy. It Is
a question of physical impossibility.”
OLLIE WHEELER ENTERTAINS.
Master Ollle Wheeler entertained
very delightfully Friday afternoon in
honor of his eighth birthday. Many
interesting games were played, after
which the guests were ushered into
the dining room, which was very at
tractive with pink and white decora
tions of hyacinths and cut flowers.
The table also was pretty with its
large birthday cake on which were
tight gleaming candles.
Those present were: Misses Annie
Willie Robertson, Leona Harris, Pearl
Durst, Ruby Wheeler, Leona Williams
and Masters Will Oliver Byrd, Aubrey
Handers, Jerry Welch, Millard Morris,
Jr., and Lewis Harris.
