TERSOXAL AND SOCIETY GOSSIP. The Week In Society. Even a holiday week is not always no filled with Catherines ot every kind as that of 1886 has teen. Young and old have eDjoyed an exceptrenal six days of sociability, and when 1887 ir.?de its appearance it found every one np and ready to weiconje it with "laughter, shoata and scraps of song," There seems to he a prevailing fashion of piscine the cards of regret sent to any hostess in a somewhat conspicuous place, either the ladies or pen tlem ens' dressing-room, and it never fails to happen that they are examined and criticized by those who read them. Not lonjr ago the regrets were found in the gentlemen's dressing-room, and the so-called gentlemen did not hesitate not only to rend them, bat did so, to the entertainment of several others who could not leave smoking alone, even while at a party, and had escaped from the parlors to enjoy a cheap cigarette. If any thought about it occurs to the sender, it is merely an acknowledgement of the invitation, and belongs to no one but the hostess. It is to be hoped that hereafter such notes will be put out of the reach of guests, who deem nothing too small, to make "fun" of. It is told, and upon supposed good authority, tbat a youne gentleman had an ambition to belong to and go with some of the society young ladies. His parents had no particular social standing, but did have plenty of funds, which they were willing to deal out to their beloved son. The desired ambition has been realized by the aforesaid son. for he paid to a gentleman who would introduce him the sum of $500, and enjoys a brief entertainment now and then in society.

The toboggan slide is proving all the managers had hoped for in popularity, and every afternoon nnd evening large parties 'have availed themselves of the opportunity for a slide. It is somewhat on the style of the old-fashioned toasting down hill, on a new and improved plan. The first sensation for a lady is peculiar, as 'they ire proverbally afraid of daring things, but after a few rides they are as brave and fascinated as the gentlemen and small boy. The first party given at the slide was on Thursday evening, when Mr. Jos. Moore entertained a number of friends in honor of her guest. Miss Wilson, of Lafayette. The riding was enjoyed for aboat two hours, and then the guests repaired to Mrs. Moore's home, No. C12 North Pennsylvania street, where refreshments were served. Among the young people the parties of Miss Stella Wiles, on Wednesday; Mr. Duane Bowles, n Tuesday; the german at Miss Rene Carhahan's, on Friday night, and the Bon Ton, jr., at Miss Bessie Beck's, Wednesday night, have kept them pretty busy, and notes were flying about, often accompanied with flowera or an invitation. ?llss Wiles made her formal debut into society y giving a large dancing party. The house decorations of nlanU and smilax were simple and tasteful. The music was stationed in the hall, giving three laree rooms for dancins. The white, eanvased floor, the flowers and pretty costumes worn, with the summer-like atmosphere, made everyone forget the cold and snow outside. Miss Wiles was assisted by her mother, Mrs. W. D. Wiles, Mrs, Frank Elder, of Richmond, and Mrs. J. L. Fletcher, At refreshtoents each guest was presented with a small, glided toboggan, tied with ribbon. Mn Duane Bowles gave his first large party, on Tuesday evening, and dancing was the entertaining feature. Mr. Bowles is one of the Popular young men of Indianapolis, and his intitatioDS were largely accepted. The set of f oung people to which he belongs are destined to DO leaders among the young folks in about bre. or four years. The girls are all pretty, and the hoys gallant The german of the Bon Ton, jr., Club was anidpg the delightful parties. The dance was Jed by Mr. Walter , Fugate, president of the Club. The figures were pretty and the favors tasteful, among the latter were pearl-handled knives, put picks, mirrors and branches of holly. There was a large company at the german at -Mies Carnahan's, on Friday evening. Mr. Steele Bright and the hostess led the first figures, with others leading in subsequent figures. . The german given at the Denison House on New Year's eve had an attendance of nearly one hundred prominent young society people and many strangers who are visiting here. The success of the entertainment is clue to Mr. W. F. C. Golt and Mr. O. T. Morton, who also led the several figures. Especially good in the latter were the drum figure and the Christmas tree. At midnight the ladies retired to the parlor, the giS was turned down in the hall and each gentleman donned a paper bae, which enveloped him to the knees. Just as 12 o'clock struck the ladies came in and selected a figure, amid doleful music, sleigh-bells jingling and groans, reminding one of the weird music and effect of St. Saen's "Danso Macabre." When the orchestra struck up a waltz the masks were doffed and all danced. The costumes of the ladiea were particularly handsome. Among them were Miss Shoemaker, of Cincinnati, who wore a Worth dress of light pink Duchesse satin, made demi-train. The draperies were or crepe lisse embroidered in dainty vines in three shades of brown and white; a broad Fash of one long loop, and one end fell over the tournure. The corsage, decollete, wa3 trimmed with narrow embroideries of the lisae. A hand bouquet of Marechal Neil roses completed the toilet, which wa worn at her debut party at homo last week. Mrs. Ed Schurtuan wore an artistic nnd taateful costume. The dress was of black lace; a bodice of Hack velvet was bordered with . jets, and the neck and arms covered with jetted net. Tn shoes and fan corresponded in color with the bricht scarlet lantanas worn as a corsagn bouquet. Miss Stein, of Louisville, was very dainty in a pleated skirt of liehtpink siuah, with waist of olive velvet. A handkerchief bag of piuk and olive, with pendants of gold, added to the finish of the whole. Mrs. Clarence Wulsin wore an elegant costume of white moire silk, with draneries and flounces of fine lace, and diamond jewelry. Miss Warren, of Terre Haute, wore a court train of mahogany red velvet over a petticoat of light pink, cut tnd uncut velvet. Miss Landis's dress was of ciel blue surah. with a. front of blue and white moire. Valenciennes lare softened the draperies of the skirt Mrs. Setvyler Hauehey wore a daintv costume of white stiih and lace. Mrs. O. R Jameson's eosturae was of lavender surah, en train, with draperies of silver gauze. Ostrich tips decorated the square-neck corsage. Miss Elliott's dress of blue silk had a handsome front of gold brocade strewn with pink ross. Miss Cutler, of Boston, and Miss Brillinffer, of York, Pa., wore beautiful dresses of lieht pink silk and crape de chene. A ereat many dresses of white t-iik and lace were worn, combined with special trimmings, tomo of pearl, jet, flowers, or ribbons. Personal. Mr. Grafton Johnson, of Greenwood, is the sruest of Mr. M.
