SOCIETY EVEN rs.

The middle OF Lent is here and with IL
we ought to have some Of the mid-lent
festivities characteristic of the time. The
French especially make pointsof having
some sort of jollity to celebrate the COM
pletion of the first half of that solemn sea-
son, and the "Mi Careme", is always a
time OF great social activity among the
gay people of Paris.
A great many good suggestions, mostly
OF practical nature, have come to us
from our Boston neighbors. This time IL
is in the form OF cheap menu for Lenten
luncheons. / believe it is nothing very
new, but have never heard of its being
tried in Providence. Why won't some OF
our readers make the experiment. The
idea is TO limit oneself TO certain sum,
say 81 n head, or half dollar, according
20 ones means or ideas of economy. One
Of these luncheons was given TO twelve
ladies, for 81 a person, much 10 the sur
prise of the guests, as II was quite swell
affair. This was the menu: Oysters,
bouillion. lobster Ia Newburg, lamb
chops and peas. birds and salads, ice cream
aud cake, fruit, American claret, Appoll-
naris and coffee. The fruit was used for
decorating the table. The cost was esti
mated AS follows: Oysters; 81; bouillion,
80 cents; lobster, so cents; chops and peas,
Sl.50; birds aud salads, 1924. ice cream and
cake. Sl.50 fruit, 81; claret, 81; Appoli-
naris. 80 cents; coffee and bread and but
ter, 25 cents.
The price could easily be reduced one
half by emitting the birds and ice cream,
substituting "a simple sweet for the ice,
and il would be necessary TO have less
expensive wine. IL would be amusing TO
figure out what sort OF a lunch could be
got up for 25 cents a person. IL might
easily be very good; some of the cheaper
meats and fish are exceedingly palatable
when they are well cooked and served
There are several excellent restaurants in
New York, mostly French, where one eau
get remarkably good dinner for 80
cents
A very good recipe for claret cup, as IL
is made in England, may be given here, as
it is not too strong for any one TO drink.
One dozen lemons (the juice), sugar TO

MYSTERIOUS miss VANDERBILT"
She Told Thirteen Stories in New
York, and Was Sent Here.

"Miss Vanderbilt" so called, still re-
mains enshrined in the deepest mystery,
which grows more and more dense each
humor she patiently submits to the ques-
tioning OF the curious, but in every case
reiterates the story told to Office Simonds
in the Union passenger station. She still
remains in charge of Overseer OF the Poor
Cumming, and seems quite contented.
The strange facts concerning her were
investigated in New York with the result.
stated in the News yesterday, that the ad-
dress given by her as the residence OF her
mother % West Fourteenth street, was
found to be vacant lot. Late yesterday
afternoon the following story was un-
earthed concerning her career in New
York:
The young woman, it is stated, made
~ler first appearance in that city about one
month ago. She made the acquaintance
of charitable woman one day and, be-
coming interested in her story the woman
agreed TO help her. At that time she
carried several bundles ond told a strange
story about her husband, whose where
abouts, she asserted. she could not ascer-
tain.
AS she was stranger in the city she
was taken 20 the Florence Mission. in
Bleeker.str where she stated that her
name was Mrs. Carrie Boyd, and claimed
that she had just returned from Provi-
dence where she had been visiting her
! cousin, William Vanderbilt.
She also stated that she was married in
! New York about one year ago. The name
| of her husband she said was Louis Boyd
and she said he had promised TO meet her
| at the dock upon her arrival in the city.
! She told Supt. johnson that her hus-
| band had sent her two checks for S25 each
! drawn on the Manhattan Bank. At the
| bank Mr.. Johnson learned that Louis
| Boyd did not have an account there.
Among other things she said she had a
trunk in this city with a Mrs. Seymour,
| and that she had s35 in it.
1t was finally decided to send her back
| to Providence and Mrs. Underhill bought
her ticket and gave her so cents.
There was nothing Objectionable in
her manner or character" Mrs Underhill
said. "She did not tell us the truth,
however. She is fairly educated, and no
| doubt demented as a result of her condi-
tion. We do not believe she is married. z"
This forenoon the girl was shown the
! above statement, and Indignantly denied
being married. She would not vary from
her first statement particle. Mr.. Wight
man is at present in New York looking for
some clue to the girls identity.

play at GobeiiIe's.
1t is an interesting week at Gobeille's,
16l Westminster ST., for millinery nov
elites from Paris. London and New York,
with equally tasteful creations from the
deft fingers Of the establishments own
designers are on exhibition. and make a
danrily delightful Spring display. Prov
idence women thoroughly appreciate
the rare opportunity of examining so
large, so varied and so leautiful "A collec-
ton of the freshest ideas the hat and bon
net world has to offer, and they look and
chat and look and chat again.
1t appears from study Of Spring fash
ions at Gobcilles that jet. lace, large soft
flowers and watered ribbons are among
the things TO reckon with. Jet aud white
lace are combined, for the first time in
millinery history, and jet and Rhine
stones Hat crowns are very low and
very small or else at the other extreme
they are very small and high. Long pen
dent streamers are an almost universal
feature, reaching in some instances quite
10 the ground.
A charming hat and one altogether
characteristic Of the spring tendencies has
tiny fat jet crown, with a brm of Irish
point lace. Its garnitures arc white
watered ribbons arranged in narrow stand
Ing bows behind with punches of small
purple and white grapes against them.
There is one ribbon and one lace streamer.
Equally novel aud original is a crown of
Jet and Rhine stones with a.yhite lace
brim and pale green riabon and dark green
velvet garnitures
A dainty flower hat is worn Of green
stems laid loosely from crown 10 brim,
with an edge Of pinkish daisies and trim
mings OF pansies. a thoroughly pleasing
hat OF gray lisse has a big soft gray poppy
In front with piquant touches OF yellow in
its petals. Black and pink is n frequent
combination, a jet bat having crushed
pink roses under its brim. with pink rib
bon streamers. Ecru and purple is an
other successful combination shown in
lisse and poppies.
A complete novelty is hat with crown
of dull jet, pleated trimmings OF black
lisse edged with feathers aud standing
garniture OF black jonquils with pale
grten stems. a new idea in mourning
millinery is a crepe bonnet with black
net veil having a deep crepe border
Another innovation in mourning Is the
admission OF Rhine stouts as garnturet
Millinery flowers are more beautiful
this year than in any previous season.
Immense, ragged chrys nth-mums and
neur de las abound. The children's hats
are well worth examination.
