Excerpt from Through the Eye of the Needle: A Romance With an Introduction Much the same might be said Of the social hospitali ties which raised our visitor's surprise. For example, many people are now asked to dinner who really need a dinner, and not merely those who revolt from the no tion of dinner with loathing, and go to it with abhor rence. At the tables of our highest social leaders one now meets on a perfect equality persons of interesting minds and uncommon gifts who would once have been excluded because they were hungry, or were not in the hostess's set, or had not a new gown or a dress-suit.
