given by Miss Mary Painter Mt her Ridge
avenue home, the pretty hostess being home
from Farmlngton school for the holidays.
The CHRISTMAS decorations remained in the
mouse, ana the healthful odor OF pine per-
vaded the place, this truly Christmas plant
being twined and intertwined about the
staircase and elsewhere, and tied daintily
with pink ribbon. Miss Fainter wore a sim
ple.white gown, in which she looked very
charming. The billiard room was devoted
to the pleasures of the table for the time,
supper being served there, and the large
drawing room was used for dancing. Some
OF the guests who helped Miss Painter in
receiving were Miss Mary Laughlin, Miss

of nv friends insist that such O course

A LOOK AROUND.

ONE day last week spoke of my expert
ences some years ago-to be exact, in the
fall of 1SS7-on board tho Cunard steamer
Umbria when she met with tidal wave
about ], 500 miles off the Irish coast-about
the place where she was last seen and
spoken. 1 am led to refer to the matter
again and to some other events connected
with that passage by reason of the present
uneasiness about the ship. 1t is matter of
fact that good many travellers and some
seamen have looked upon the Unbria as an
unlucky boat for years and one which
would likely meet with serious trouble some
day. This feeling was due to the constant
pressure on this boat and her sister snip,th
Etruria, to make fast trips and break rec
ords. 1t is all very well to talk about the
wonderful care and watchfulness OF those
in charge of an ocean liner, and agents are
prone to dilate upon the safety of the craft
because of air tight commitments and all
that sort of thing, but it is q matter OF fact
that there are occasional lapses which are
sometimes serious and sometimes fatal.
