A novel feature for comfort and con-
venience has recently been introduced
into fashionable entertainments. 1t has
so thoroughly met the requirements for
which il was designed and is withal so
simple that the wonder is it was not
thought Of long ago. This is an adjust
able table for parties where guests may
partake comfortably and safely OF their
refreshments without having to hold
their plates with great inconveni-
ence and risk to handsome toilets
through ones own carelessness or
the awkwardneSs of walters. The new
table is upheld By an iron stand similar
to that used by photographers and Is
adjustable 10 any height. The stand
proper is formed OF two rings, which
are entirely out Of the wayuntil needed,
when one is turned to the right, the
other to the left. Light plates fiji neatly
into the rings and thus present double
table, at which two persons can easily
seat themselves or stand, as they may
prefer. 1t eau also be quickly convert
ed into card table il needed, but 1t
will find most favor among the ladies,
who acknowledge its comfort. More
than all, it is a protection to their costly
and beautiful gowns.
There were several evening eZcur-
sions over the snowy surface the past
week, but one of the most enjoyable
occurred on Wednesday evening, when
a party of some fourteen couples sped

the bugle call at the home Of Miss Mat

large old-fashioned sleigh was comfort
ably prepared for the outing, and away
, they flew out over the Pike, amid songs
and merriment, entering the Sombre
villaAe Of Triadelphia by flank move
ments and completely taking the town
| BIZ storm. After a drive through the
Rue de Royal the party started on the
return trip as far as the house OF Mr.
! Howard Simpson, when the guests en-
tered, thawed out and were delight
fully entertained. On the return 10
the city the party repaired to the Hotel
Windsor, where u banquet was served,
TO which all did ample justice, as the
keen atmosphere while driving had
worked the appetite up to a rayenoas
pitch.
The finest leapyea ball Of the season
