PERSONAL AND SOCIETY. A 'toplc party. on of -which rra given hero early in the season, and was original xrith the lady who pave it, has been given In Washington, and created an interest on account of it noTelty. Indianapolis "will claim tho origin, and Washington can bo Mid to havo copied Indianapolis for once. Tho idea is to have several subjects selected, invite people who can talk, and then annouco the topics in succession, n limited time being allowed lor each. At tho change cf each topic the conversationists are changed. Thus Mrs. A. has for her first subject 'The Weather." the brilliant Greeley, or for Russia' George Kenrian, and so on: or if not in tlie presence of such distinguished rnen. no doubt plain Mr. A. or Mr. B. would be just as capable as some one gTeat, and in many cases much more Interesting. At the Washington party the subjects were: The Weather." "The Latest Fad." 'The Books I Last Rearl." Tonics" "Politics," The New President," 'The Small Boy." 'Organs " "Reforms," "Cough-drops." etc. When a bright, congenial company are aseembled, there can be no more happy event than a topic party, and a comparison of notes at the end of the evening will result in a diversity of subjects talked about under one head, ns if very subject was unlike, for each may bo fonsidered under an entirely difl'crent light. Thn., for instance, the fond mother of a fimall boy does not regard him in the same way that the grouty old bachelor does, and the invalid will havo an esteem for tonics that is unknown to a robust person. Missionary banquets will work a revolution in the line of missionary work. As every one knows, that branch of church work is done principally by women. One never . hears of the Men's Home and Foreign Missionary Society, and the mere announcement that there is to be a missionary sermon will keep more men away from the church than any other subject. The Tabernacle ladies have settled the problem of inducing men to attend what shall it be called: for they spread such a bountiful repast that the men were glad to go, and. as was said in the toasts, "they felt so comfortable and at peace with all tho world that they were glad to remain for tho 'toasts on missionary topics." It does - pot matter what the subjects are, as long as such excellent responses follow, as there were on Friday night. When women become acenstomed to "speakin' in xueetin" there is no doubt but what the apeakm'" will be as good as the men can do, and in many cases it will e better. A feast will bring out more persons than a "musicale and literary," and on this principle the missionary banquet

most any other kind of an entertainment that could have been given. Personal Mention. Mr. Robert Allison has gone to New York for a brief stay. L. F.
