DOINGS OF SOCIETY

A FEW GEXTXE 1IIXTS TO THOSE! WHO ARE NOT INVITED. Fallare io Ilpcelve an Invitation Not to Be 'Looked Upon ai n Slivht Society Clrcos. Jnvittiona ar frequently extended to young people by the father and mother of the sons and daughters for whom the party or entertainment Is really given. Many timet this is done from a sense of propriety, and it Is as it should be. All too often it is the excuse of the young: women daughters of the house, who hope. In having the invitation sent out by father and mother, to ftfisuage the feelings of the friends who are Hot Invited To- the "looker-on" it always seems rather strange that a hostess should be taken to task for not Inviting every friend she has In town to every company he gives. Any one who entertains, and those who do not, knows that large companies to include every one cannot be given every time one entertains. Where would the luncheons, dinners, thimble parties, card parties and other amusements and gatherings be If every company is a large one? Every one also knows that large companies are not the most delightful ones. The majority of persons prefer a party of anywhere from a half-dozen to forty friends, where there Is an opportunity to chat; not simply say, "How do you do," and then move a few steps and say the same thing to eome one else and have every one say the same thing In return. Conversation is rather monotonous at afternoon receptions. Yet, with knowing all this, there are persons who, knowing some friend is to have a company, will say something about not being Invited. If a person feels "hurt" because no invitation has reached him, it would be the better part not to allow the to-be hostess to know there are such tender plants with such a stock of "feelings." On another aide of the same subject young people who make their party calls rarely ask for the father or mother, in whose name the invitation was sent out. It Is Just as requisite for the caller to ask for the one sending out Invitation as it is for them to make the calL The fathers and mothers who make it possible for the young people to entertain their friends with the handsome parties that are given are entitled to some consideration, but too rarely do the young people ask for them when the call is made. 4 The aianerclo Carnival. Preparations for the great carnival and ifancy dress ball which the Maennerchor Society is arranging to give at Maennerchor Hall, on the evening of Teh. 26, are progressing satisfactorily, and the special committees and members of the society are taking such an interest in It and carrying on the work with so much energy and enthusiasm ,as to guarantee that the entertainment will ; be the most elaborate and magnificent of Its kind ever glvenln Indianapolis. A force' of scenic artists are now at work at Cincinnati on the stage settings and 'the special decorations for the hall, which include not only the painted scenes, but heavy "set pieces" and various special designs. The representation of a palace and Its surroundings on the stage will be a massive and beautiful affair, excelling anything of the kind ever attempted here, even on a theatrical stage. At the meeting of the committee on arrangement last week it was decided to have all the floors of Tomlinson Hall, in the corridors and entrances, covered with canvas on the night of the carnival. An orchestra of thirty pieces has been engaged for the dance music and a band of twentyfive pieces for the promenade and grand march music. These will be almost concealed from view by palms and a mass of foliage. The magnitude of the carnival makes a great deal of wojlt necessary, and this is being done as rapidly as possible. A special contract was made with the electric-light company last week for a brilliant Illumination of the hall by colored lights and electric lamps in special designs. The invitations for the carnival, which will be striking specimens of the lithogra.pher's art, will be ready for attribution early this week. It Is intended that they ehall go to all the reifesentative society eopie or me city, dux wun sucn a targe st. and It divided ud among various com mitteemen, probably many persons will be overlooked. Tho? whose names are thus accidentally omitted can secure the necessary Invitations by applying to any member of the committee on invitations, these gentlemen being F. M. Bachman, Joseph Becker, Fred P. Rush. Frederick Fahnley, Louis Hollweg, Louis Reibold. Ferd L. Mayer, tl7IHIotn Ppiiotun Arlnlrvh Soif1ntifkfr Henry Severin, F. W. Simon, G. Recker and Nicholas Jose. No person can buy a ticket without first presenting his invitation, and nobody will te aamittea to tne carnival unless in evening dress or in fancy costume. Society Clrens. Thq rehearsal of the operetta for the Society Circus Thursday evening was most satisfactory. " Miss Messing has been secured to take the leading contralto role, In place of Mrs. Wallace, who will probably not be able to appear before the last evening or two of the circus. Several singers . kindly came to the assistance of the circus, and now there are about forty who will sing this part. The operetta Is very bright and the muslq is catchy. The costumes In the operetta are gypsy style, and the scenery will be gay tents and other paraphernalia - peculiar to the wandering tribes. The circus part will be rich with novelties. Among those who are to ride in the grand entree are Gen. James R. Carnaban, who will lead the procession, Mr. and Mrs. William R Brown, Mrs. George N. Catterson, Mrs. John W. Kern, Colonel Kahlo. Mr. Landers, Mr. Harry Raymond and a number of the younger society people. The circus ia being given in Chicago, and it has been so successful in every way that It will be continued through the second week. Professor and Madame Stickney, with their famous horses and dogs, have been added to the list of attractions, and will be here all the week. All contemplated entertaining for the week of the 11th has been postponed in order that there shall be nothing to detract from the attendance at the Society Circus. Indianapolis has never had an entertainment such as this will be, and every one is anticipating a succession of novelties. Circus parties, which are so very popular ia summer, will be given, and many are being arranged now. The opening night of the circus many of the boxes will be taken by parties. The arrangements in detail are in the hands of competent committees of men and women. There is an immense amount of labor connected with giving the circus, and dozens of persons are busy attending to the many items which will insure its perfect artistic and financial success. Flower orthe Sick. A prominent member of the Flower Mission, who does not pretend to be in what is known as "society," asked'the question one day recently: "Why is it that these women who give these beautiful receptions and parties , and have dozens and dozens of roses, carnations and other lovely flowers to use for decorations, do not think to send them to the Flower Mission or some member of the' Flower Mission for distribution to the hospitals the next day? The patients in the hospitals rarely see a fresh flower in the winter, for the Flower Mission has none to distribute except when they are growing in the Hardens. The Flower Mission meeting is held -Thursday morning at Plymouth Church, and so many times the receptions and parties are given Wednesdays, while the . Dowers are stui fresn they could be sent out and make so many people happy with them." It la told that New York and Boston women frequently send their flowers used for an entertainment to the hospitals the next day. The custom has never been adopted here. It those who entertain would send word to the Flower Mission that the flowers could be had the next day, a member would call for them, and be only too glad to do so in order to have them. Even snrays of sroilax and fern would be acceptable. Plymouth Orgnn Recital. Mr. W. If. Donley will resume his fortnightly organ recitals Wednesday evening of this week at Plymouth Church. Many new compositions and gems for , the organ have been learned for the series and will be given from time to time. During the series Mr. Donley will give Gullmanfs celebrated historical organ concert, showing the gradual development of organ music from the very beginning to the present time and also presenting some of the rarest compositions of the old masters. In the series there will be two or thre5 evening recitals in which Mr. Donley will be assisted by Mrs. Lottie Adam Rasehlg, Mrs, 6tacyWilllama. the noted dramatic soprano of Milwaukee; Miss Annie Griffiths, of Cincinnati, and Mr. Adolna Schellschmiau

Tho second public meeting of the Manuscript Society, of New York, was held, Tuesday evening, at Checkering Hall. The members of this society are musicians and most of them are composers. The programmes are unique. Each number has a facsimile portion of the composition, in manuscript, and only 'those compositions are given that are by members of the society. The paper programme is a work very artistic in design. It is of six leaves, folded and fastened with red tape bearing the society's seal. The rules of the society are on one page and the full list of members is given. All of the prominent musicians In New York are members and to belong to it insures the members rank in the list of musicians of this country.

Result of Disease nnd Slight lie Prevented with Care. Philadelphia North American. By far the greater number of the numerous suicides reported within a week, some of them complicated with murder, have been of persons showing very evident symptoms of unsound mind. In a large majority of instances these persons are said to have been "acting queerly" for some time, but none were thought to be dangerous. Such persons are always dangerous, either to themselves or to others, and often to both. The reluctance with which the friends of such persons concede that there is "anything much the matter" is surprising, but more unaccountable than surprising. A victim of smallpox appearing on the street is at once removed and isolated, as much for the safety of the public as for his own. But it is not infrequently that one meets on the streets persons "acting queerly," persons who for their own as well as the public good should be removed at once to some proper place where they can be cared for, even if not cured. The suicidal and homicidal mania generally exist in the same person, and instant treatment should be provided. It is dangerous to permit a person of suicidal tendencies to remain at large. It is impossible to say at what turn of the malady homicidal Impulses may develop. Foresight is much better than hindsight In dealing with minds unbalanced, but the foresight of the average maji is seldom equal to his hindsight. Almost everybody knows when something has happened, and a few, a very few, knew when such happenings are possible. But the safe rule is to act promptly in all cases of aberration. A physician skilled in the treatment of nervous diseases should be called in and his judgment accepted. The practice generally is to wait until a neighborhood is shocked by some violence, and then to get together and talk about it There need be nothing to talk about If people summon their common sense, and use it exactly as they would in a case of fever or any other disabling ailment. Perhaps five-sixths of the cases of suicide could be prevented if the friends and neighbors would use their common sense instead of ignoring the plain facts. Misapprehension. Detroit Tribune. "But,' insisted the pilgrim, "I am a poor man. I was informed that you rob only the rich." The brigand pressed his hand to his brow with a bewildered air. "Oh, I know," he suddenly exclaimed, "how that impression must have got abroad. I used to be a florist" After which he went through the wayfarer, assuring him the while that his mistike was auite natural aad. he dida't mind lb bit-
