BARBARI NS IN WASHINGTON.
Tbe Grand Army ef General Average wit a
It Hoata of Women.
What is a "crush tea?" It is an inven
tion of this fin de siecle society to keep op
with the pttx eatsion, know everybody and
get rid of wl at are called "social obliga
tions" with t lie least trouble to yourself
and the least amount of pleasure to your
frnests. Mistresses of drawing rooms ca
pable of acco nmcdating using this word
in its literal si-nse fifty people, do not hesi
tate to jam in o them two or three hundred,
and the extraordinary part of the perform
ance is that the more these people are
jammed the better they like it. Of course
there are exceptions, but exceptions are un
wort hy of con -siderat ion. If exceptions had
their say, soci -ty would be spelled just the
same in spit of phonetics, but it would
mean somethi ig else. Exceptions are '"not
in it."
The Grand Army of General Average
flock to a crush tea with an avidity unex
ampled on eirth. Whether they are as
anxious and as ready for heaven is doubt
ful. After flocking the conversation next
day is, ten chi noes to one, after this fash
ion: "My dear, I was crushed to death, lit
erally, I assure you. Never saw such a
jam in my life. Everybody was there, even
old Mrs. Totdles. Why that woman is
asked I don't know. She got me in a cor
ner and begai talking to me about her
home for something or other, just as though
I'd put on my Paris gown to le stuck in a
corner when tl ere were no end of men in
the dining room. Yes, men, my dear not
snips, but met. Really, Mrs. De Tompkins
ought to be m ire particular whom she asks,
especially in small a house, where you
couldn't swin a cut if vour life depended
on it."
That '8 the way some of the penerr.l aver
age "go on," and the more they chatter the
more likely tlvy are to have begged for an
invitation fron poor, abused Mrs. De
Tompkins. It is beyond doubt that women
calling themselves ladies actually beg for
invitations to all manner of entertainments,
in some cases actually having the imperti
nence to present themselves even without
an invitation i xtorted at the point of the
bayonet! It is not long ago that a scene
occurred at tl e Chinese legation so dis
graceful as to force our friends from the
antipodes to issue cards of admission to
their next ball in order to prevent tbe pres
ence of an una ked mob.
Who are the ' 'barbarians?" One need not
be Chinese to answer. The offenders are
almost always women, a fact which leads
us to ask when lies that inherent delicacy
supposed to be the birthright of my sex?
If Washington society is to be endurable, a
new code of eiquette should be adopted.
The solicitatioiis of people who do not wait
to be asked to j nblio and private functions
should be igiiored; cards of admission
should be issutd to those who are invited.
A land of allege liberty ought not to mean
a land of in tol. Table liberties. Ladies and
gentlemen wil. never project themselves
unasked on my host or hostess. Human
beings who do are unfit to associate with
those who would commit hara-kiri before
so disgracing themselves. Kate Field's

it dropped into the water. It was sent to
