A Russian Rrcentinn.

Where dancing is tabooed il is diff.
cult to know just what to do with the
people that you like TO invite to your
house. OF course there are dinners and
teas and musicales. but in the course of
human events one tires of all three and
sighs for something newer and less con-
ventional. Among novel forms of en-
tertainment which clever hostesses are
carrying out is the so called Russian
reception. The cardof invitation is tho
same as for an ordinary reception, but
when the mystical words Russian even
ing" are engraved in the corner the recip-
lent knows that she will meet at the
house of her hostess some artistic aud
literary people whom she has long want
ed to know; that there will be deal of
bright conversation interspersed with
music; that a simple standing collation.
will be served. and that she. together
with the other guests, will take an early
departure. Boston Commonwealth

TO be model housekeeper. Mrs. King
was not educated; though she learned to
make beautiful capital letters, could not
form them into words. A stranger meet
