proved in health. and Is able to be up ana
about like other folks now. Mr.. and Mrs.
Lawrence Hutton are trying TO induce ner
10 90 abroad with them. She mas mol quite
decided just what she will do tEls summer
as vet 1t is very pleasant to be aole TO
chr onicle the fact that 10000 COPIES Of MIS-.
Virgins Birds Christmas CaroH' have
been sold. 1t Is current axiom among
writers that all publishers are bad, but some
are not az bad as others. From pleasant
gossip the inference is that Mrs Wiggln's
publishers are not bad at all, having raised
the per cent they were allowing her without
being asked TO do SO.
Mrs. Francis Edgerton has spent the win
fer in Washington with her uncle, the Hon.
Oscar Lapham. She came over TO New
Yoik before going to Massachusetts aud
read az the last meeting OF Sorosls 1or THIS
season.
When Mrs. Barreda and her charming
daughter passed through this city lew
weeks ago en- route to Europe their presence
recalled many pleasant memories 10 ola New
Workers Of princely entertainments enjoyed
at the Barreda villa at Newport. The villa
is now owned by Mr. Waldorf Astor. 1t
was built in the days when Mr.. Barreda was
the Peruvian Minister TO this country, and
its architectural beauty Is yet unsurpassed
by any Of the palatial homes that have been
erected since at Newport The marble palace
recently built by William X. vanderbilt may
exceed ii in the elegance Of its bronze gates
and marble, but does not equal Its PIC
turesque and distinctive magnificence. Mr.
Barreda was a fine host aud entertained with
lavish hospitality He was a social leader
then. and people tried hard TO win his favor.
When he lost his fortune and went to Gait
fOrnia he was soon forgotten. No wonder
society leaders seek TO perpetuate their
death-dOomed names by writing books. IL
is appalling 10 consider how many people IN
the CAV world here have taken 10 scribbllng
n 70 rTrc Il
entertaining to hear them speak caressngly
Of their literary career, as If 1t were pet
dog.
A NOBLE ENTERPRISE.
Mrs. Dunlap Hopkins, we'll known to a
number of CalifoTnians, has Inspired no
bic enterprise. By her enthusiasm ana a
goodly donation Of money she induced a
number of representative people to organ =
iZe a school Of applied design for women.
George i. 1ngraham, Justice or the Su-
preme Court Is one OF the directors. Inc
aim of the school is to bring designers and
manufacturers into tOu II and unite their in
terests. Now manufacturers send abroad
for designs, because, they say, pupils are
not practically taught in America. 1t takes
TOO much time to adapt the designs sent in
from different parts OF the country TO their
practical needs. An opportunity will be
given women to qualify themselves in max
ing designs for carpets, wallpaper, oil
cloths, eret0nnes, chlntzes and all such
things. A first prize Of 500 and a second
prize Of $50 will be awarded by jurors
composed OF manufacturers Of carpets and
wallpaper to the best design for
wallpaper, for carpets and for the best
work IN architecture Enough money has
been literally donated to carry on the school
year, but after that the aim is to make II
self-suppnrting, as the money received Tor
intuition fees will be devoted to the pur-
poses of the school. Mrs Dunlap Hopkins
is one of the directors and gives the work
| her hearty cooperation.
Mrs. Richard =. Lounsberry and her
family have gone 10 their charming coun-
try home in Bedford, N. j., for the summer.
