ubaQteS ana the lalr young mdiUoHs
TO be presented this winter
Now most OF the girls of several sea
sons have had a steady and flatterine
stream OF attention since they came out
and they are nearly all under twenty
four and I'm sure some OF them
could have married number
Of times by now had they chosen. Then
the next in order were handsomer than
the former and they had to have lots oil
beaux; aid as for the young girls just
coming out, why there's scarcely a
plain girl among them. The many
pretty ones are positive beauties"
Beauty wins as q rule. Yes, but the
loveiieSt debutante has some dis.
advantages with even the girl
who has been pronouncedly pop
ular for several seasons. This
older young woman knows all the men
better, their prejudices and vanities,
what they like TO talk about, how to
make them comfortable when they call,
and so forth. Men are creatures OF
habit, and they get into the way Of 60
ing TO certain houses that they have
visited some time, and II the girls there
are not old sweethearts they are old
friends with whom one feels free TO
gossip about his neighbor or tell about
his love affair with another girl. With
these older girls the Alterations and as
SumptionS OF first seasons social life
has been worn Off, and, as one Of their
men friends expresses it, "A fellow can
be himself. he doesn't have to make
love unless he wants to, and he feels
comfortable and contented generally

The members OF the Y. NJ. G. A. will
keep open house, as usual, on New
Years Day, with the aid of the ladies.
The marked success of other years will
encourage them TO plan large things.
The building will be tastefully dec
GRATED, and no pains will be spared to
make the reception attractive.
A chidren's dance, known as the
Newark, promises to become exceeding
ly popular this season. 1t is mazourka
time, changing prettily into a waltz.
The Aurora" belongs to the family OF
the eYer-enchanting waltz, with slight
rest which inclineS it to slower swing
in the measure. Then there is LA Fa-
vorit" in polka time, combination OF
gliding polka and galOp. The Assem-
bly, Gavotte," in galop time, is also new,
but the most distinctly new Of all is the
five step schottische, In four-tour time, a
pretty idea taking the five step to a
four count, in the springy European
STYLE, a spring step first and half waltz
to follow.
The Senior Class Of the Linsly InSti-
tute, assisted by the Juniors and the
younger members OF the school, intend
giving a military ball Wednesday even
ing, December 23d, The committees
were appointed on last Friday, and will
attend TO their various duties during
the coming week, and by the last Of the
week favorable reports can be made.
From the present outlook the coming
hop promises TO be one Of the successful
ones ever held in the Linsly Armory.

This is the time of the year when la
dies begin to be sadly perpiexed over
the buying Of holiday gifts. Perhaps
the greatest art of all is the art of buy
ing, or rather of giving, in appro-
pirate gifts. Now person can
not make a sadder mistake than
to give, let US say. an inkstand to an
author, ierrule to teacher, or q note
book to a reporter. These
are what a commonplace per-
son would approve as exceedingly ap-
The writer has in mind
a lady who is the annual recipient Of
not that she is possessed
OF a chronic hay fever, but because she
is that sort Of q staid body for whom
seems so appropriate as hand
kerchiefs. Why, for example, not give
the cook beautiful high art 81 rocking
chair instead az the inevitable calico
dress, oxdized pin or pocket handker-
chief? Why not delight the housegirl
with bottle of real perfume or a gor-
geous album? Why not let the husband
off from the annual pair OF slippers and
make him lovely bag for his soiled col
lars and cuffs? Why no send the soil
rkov
member with a box letter paper forget
ting to suggest TO whom she may write
letters, a vase full OF flowers? Why not
send your best young man a shade for
his lamp, a pair of saddlebags for his
rocking chair, or a transparent picture
to hang in his window? Why not send
A growing fern TO your best girl, or a
years subscription TO some good maya
zine? In all the shops can be found
great amount Of trash Of the sort that
filters Up house. Some
body must buy all this, but the worst is
that somebody must receive it all. In
fact, a very good plan is TO give the
present 80 suitable FOR Mary" TO John,
and the present that is just the thing
for John to Mary.

The German Is again coming into IA
gor In local circles. In fact, it has al
ways been pretty much in favor, but so
ar this season this dance has been TAX
