INTRODUCTION.
The publisher and those who have assisted him in the collection of much of the data com- prising this volume have frequently been met with the query, what is a " Blue Book?" This work is the answer.
Having been mistaken for book agents, received as such by many, and denied an inter- view by others whom it was absolutely neces- sary to see in order to obtain data needed in the preparation of the "Calling and Address List," a / feature peculiar to this work, the issuance of this volume has been delayed longer than was anti- cipated. Such delay is, however, in no way the fault of the publisher or his printers.
The Blue Book is a necessity in metropolitan life; because it forms the only reliable social guide for well-regulated households. It is a

useful and concisely tabulated compendium of all social functions, and is as necessary in the home as the business directory is in the office or store, and all intelligent individuals who con- sider the duties of life worth observance provide themselves with such a book of reference.
In every fin de siecle city of both Europe and America a Blue Book is given a welcome place in all the best families. It finds no lodgment elsewhere.
It is not intended that this work shall be a list of "blue bloods," nor does the publisher desire to figure as a social censor, but being familiar with such publications elsewhere, and believing the social life of the two cities needs such an aid because of the fast approaching metropolitan proportions and ideas of each, the work was undertaken and is now presented to its patrons.
The publisher gratefully acknowledges the promptness and kindness with which many who have seen and known elsewhere the benefits and conveniences of a Blue Book have come to' his

INTRODUCTION.
assistance and by personal letters of approval, and otherwise, have aided and encouraged the publication
The special "Calling and Address List" con- . tains a majority of residents, it is believed, who are entitled to the claim and recognition of "society," if such a fixed fact there be. "So- ciety" is altogether too elastic and flexible for the attainment of perfection in this list. Its representation, however, is as select, complete and correct as careful inquiry under existing conditions can make an attempt of the kind. If there are any, and undoubtedly there are many, entitled to mention herein whose names by chance have been omitted, it must be attributed . rather to the extraordinary difficulties attending the obtaining of data, than to any idea of exclu- sion. With each recurring edition the objects and purports of a Blue Book will be better under- stood, and a more perfect and satisfactory repre- sentation reached. Margins have been left for additions and interlineations of the names, ad-

dresses, etc., of friends not found herein. The "Social Code" may prove a pleasant reminder to polite memory and gentle breeding.
The publisher desires especially to call the attention of the patrons of this book to the names and firms mentioned herein under the caption of "Business Reference" with the hope and the wish that a close and continued acquaintance may be mutually profitable and pleasureable.
This is the first Blue Book ever'issued in the State of Texas. The publisher hopes that it may find the friends here that similar volumes have ever found in enterprising cities. It is copyrighted and will appear annually, or as often as the growth and changes of the city make its publication advisable.
NOTE-Blue Books have also been copyrighted for San Antonio, Austin, Waco and other cities, and will be respectively issued by the publisher of this volume as soon as the necessary data may be obtained, and will be supplied to subscribers only.

l'he object of this non-sectarian, practical char- ity is to erect and maintain a home for infants and small children, orphans being taken free, while those with laboring fathers and mothers, shall be admitted upon payment of not less than ten cents daily.
The prescribed age for children is under six years ; the board, however, reserving the privi- lege of making exceptions, both in rejecting within the prescribed age, or admitting children over six years old, by a majority vote.
Under no circumstances will adults be admit- ted to the Home. The special object being to care for the little ones and to help their parents to be free to seek honest labor.
