Oa the other hand, woman's lunch, or
or dinner, at table seating some twelve
or sixteen guests, gives one source for
pleasant afterthought. There are so many
subjects discussed, and turned on all sorts
of funny sides, and in these talks woman
gets to know good deal about her sister
mortals, and to form al sorts Of ideas con-
corning their lives, ambitions, loves, hates
every feeling, in fact, that makes up the
sum of human nature. One gets to know
people only at a small entertainment-at
the big affairs you see their faces and the
kind of clothes they wear, but if there is
dancing there is no trouble about passing
the time pleasantly. Nothing yet hes
been found to mix up and break up the
rigid life like the innocent amusement
which has and will ever flourish.

In mems suits this year there is very
little change aside from frightening Of
the roll of the collar of coat and vest.
There is in vogue this fall and winter,
among other novelties, double-breasted
sack and frock coats. The double-breasted
froCk coat combines the front of the Prince
Albert with the ordinary frock, and is in
tended rs a ssmi-dress suit. The double
breasted sack differs from the similar
coats worn in former years, in that the
corners are rounded instead of square.

the ladies, who in turn each presented one
carnation TO the gentleman with whom
she had tbs first engagement. Then the
conversation proceeded. The subject OF
cough drops was illustrated by csrsmels
being handed the guests, and the last topic
being ice cream and cake, it was most en-
joyahly discussed.
