The cocktail party, which once wajs viewed as a passing phase, is now looked upon as a permanent institution. For the flat' dweller it i<s an easy find convenient form of entertaining, and, that being so, it has probably come to stay. But hostesses are hard put, to it to find new delicacies to serve with the Sidecar, the Bronx and the Manhattan. Dainty little sandwiches are looked upon as rather commonplace, and the very latest novelty is the little French sausage. It is fried and welj-browned, and then served on a stick very eiinij lar to that used for cocktail cherries. Hot pasties, containing either fish or minced meat, are also popular, though doubtlessly they will be displaced a month hence by something different. Customs as well as taete change with bewildering rapidity among the bright young people of tp-day. You no longer see little crowds f revellers assembled round the street stalls in the email hours of the morning partaking of coffee and kippers. Their intrusion was always resented by the regular proletarian customers. To-day furs and fustian no longer rub shoulders at the street stalls. The kippers are carried away to the ear drawn up a few yards along the street.
