Society has apparently been enjoying
rest this week. BY tho way, Cupid
+, evidently in the Sulks. lie has so
completely hidden himself from view
that it was with the EXTREMIST difficulty
De could be persuaded TO grant just a
few little favors the past week TO save
hf, reputation. With the passing OF
Thanksgiving comes a steady infection
toward Christmas, and preparations
have been rife within the last few days.
The prevalence Of bazaars and fairs is
sufficient indication Of this.
About this season Of the year host
esses are pulling their brains TO pro-
vide something original in the way Of
entertainment OF guests. The woman
who would rise above her sisters in the
social swim must have the force of
character necessary 20 use her own
original opinions and TO stand boldly oy
what she considers a new idea IN de-
corations or in entertainments.
Christmas and giit-tlme IS upon US,
aud what are we going TO do about IL?
Are we going 10 keep on fitting square
pegs into round holes, are we going 10
give fancy pOcketbooks 70 the impecu-
Nous, and dancing pumps 10 the lame?
Heaven forbid! There has been enough
OF that sort of thing done in former
Years. Do let's begin 10 give sensible
things, and pretty things, and things
that suit. To accomplish this We mus
irs; have an understanding Of such
things as there be, and then we must
needs discriminate. Discrimination,
Ike salt, is good 70 flavor most cOncOc-
,Ions. but unfortunately the two ar
tlcles are not on similar plane OF
cheapness aud availability. After all,
gift-ma6ing is an art. Two many OF Us
wait until the last moment, rush oil 10
the nearest store, battle with a surging
crowd, issue forth sans money and tenn
per, and with-a lot OF things We don't
want. What is still worse, nobody else
wants them either The way 10 do is
90 be early on the scene and take time
10 selection.
One of the latest models OF a fash
i0uab'e cOnturier for a full dress din
ner toilet is shown az the head Of this
society department. IL is made OF Ill
tramarine tulle with green dots. The
corsage is OF very light ultramarine
silk and is embroidered with flowers.
Il opens In front over a tulle chemisette,
across which 10 is fastened by green vel
Vet bands. The gown is both stylish
and pretty and few women will not find
their natural good looks enhanced By ii.

Friday evening was the regular BIZ
monthly meeting OF the CotilliOn Club;
previous 20 that the Committee on
Arrangements had chartered DR.. Hulli.
hens bus and everything was on time.
The bus contained about thirty people,
which filled 10 % It's utmost capacity.
The direction for which they were
steering was LeatherwoOd at the home
Of Miss Daisy Ewing. Upon arriving
the guests were handsomely entertained
by their charming hostess. A dance
order containing thirty numbers with
an intermissiOn at midnight when
choice refreshments were served, was
merr.y discussed. Dancing was then
hn
guests prepared for their homeward
Journey after having spent delightful
evening with their hostess and the as
SStaHce Of Kiilmeyer at the piano. The
club will have no more dances until the
S0th instant, when Miss Sue Caldwell
will do the hoGors.

THE exchanging OF visits, formal OF
otherwise, among ladies is rational
enough. IL is merely an interchange
o. social attentions. After one has bSen
entertained at a house, he is expected
ocaI there. 1t is a token OF appre-
cation of hospitality which be has re-
ceyed, and it also indicates that he has
enjoyed himself and wishes 10 see his
entertainers again. The best bred
people pay their social obligations
promptly, because 20 do so indicates
polite consideration. They respond
without delay to invertations, so that
!neir intending hosts shall not be kept
20 suspense as 20 their acceptance or
oec.iuation. A well-bred man or wo-
nan is always prompt letter writer,
