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 Dyer Building M. E. KELL Y DRY GOODS COMP AMY 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.
