On last Wednesday evening Mr. and
Mrs. W. c. McMechen, Of the Island,
entertained their friends with an old
time whist party. Some forty odd
guests participated, and for three hours
and a half enjoyed themselves at the
royal game to repletion. There was no
change of partners, and as a result the
real business Of playing whist Tor all
that was out began in earnest. The
discussion, ever and anon, OF long suits
and short suits; of discards, revoking
and rufing; OF fnesse, unlocking and
underplay; Of what Pole, Clay, Dscha-
pelleS, Cavendish and Sc. w. P" say:
OF the merits Of the American and other
leads, would go on and on, sometimes
seriously and at others with an eXplo-
sion Of mirth over some repsrtee and
retort that indicated how keenly
reli5hed was the progress OF the
game. Acknowledged champions
who rarely lost game,
had their backs broken, so to speak, and
were compelled 10 take back seats aud
nurse their fallen pride in silence, while
diaident, modest players, twho never
had a record, came 10 the front, the
acknowledged monarchs Of all they sur
veyed, receiving the homage to which
their good luck entitled them. 1t was
certainly a great night for real whist.
The hosts had an awiully hard time
to stop the mad career OF the players,
so anxious were the worsted sides 70
have lust one more game" But when
play was discontinued, most appetizing
refreshments were served, which so
rounded out the full measure OF the
evenings enjoyment that the parting
guests overwhelmed the host and
hostess with congratulations upon the
success Of the entertainment.

The costume worn by the Greek wo-
men Is seldom bought ready-made. 1t
is usually either made by the wearers
themselves, or has come 10 them by In
heritance. A handsome costume is an
expensive purchase. The chemiSe, long
enough 70 form skirt, is very richly
embroidered about the bottom In silk,
and the two jackets OF white cloth are
elaborate. These are sleeveless, but a
fne pair Of embroidered sleeves makes
a separate part OF the dress. Silver or
naments for the head, neck and arms,
a red apron, q sash, and silk gauze
veil complete the costume. The last
named articles are Injuries, however,
and vary according to the means. Rich
maideus braid long strings OF coins into
their treSSeS, and at country dance,
where the costume is seen in its full
splendor, the eyes Of the sutton are as
