New Workers are fast coming to the
Earislan way OF enjoying only one meal q
day. They eat hasty breakfast. partake
OF something at noon, which is in the nature
OF a lunch, aud when it comes night they
are ready to eat. And so it is that the
iaVor4te form of evening entertainment is a
dinner and the longer people are seated
around the board the more enjoyable din
ner becomes. All sorts Of pretty favors are
given at these dinners, and the old time di-
versl )ns OF swapping notices and afterward
decorating ones self with motto papers
nave all been revived with the intensity Of
new life.
Champagne is, of course. the popular
drink, although it isn't always the favorits
drink, but for those who do not like sweet
champagne. there is some extra dryn pro-
Vlded, and so all tastes are suited.
lt Is pretty little caper to serve the
punch as separate course, and then, as
soon as the puuch glasses are taken away.
20 bring on cigarettes and then the favors.
While the company is still enioyinR the
novelty of the favors, the salad is served
and the dinner goes on again, all the more
merrily for the long intermission between
the punch and the salad course.
Never were the gowns so low as are seen
this year in the boxes of the Metropolitan
opera house. She society women are vieinR
with stage soubrettes in the matter of low
neck gowns, and are resting the iaurels
from them with great rapidity
When fashionable woman gives an
order to her dressmaker for a decollets
gown she says:
Cut the front of the gown very low. in>
deed, very low. Thel put little lace
around it, and the lace, you know, will
bring it up to the proper hignt-plenty high
enough. People can't see through lace, you
know"
1t is really very unkind for society women
Co thus deprive soubrettes Of their chief
novelty and greate3t attraction, for the
bald-headed brigade which used formerly to
occupy the front rows OF the theaters are
now quite content to stand around in the
vicinity OF the boxes
Every year something new is done for the
sake OF sweet charity. Women enjoy
spending money for church bazaar, and
they are willing to buy expensive clothes
and devote great deal of their time and all
their spare change to make the fair q sue
cess They expect to make some money
out of it for the church, but it is seldom
that they realize anything like the sum
which the thing has cost them.
BLACKBIRD PIE. HAVE A PIECE.
COST YOU SIXPENCE,
was the legend which was printed upon a
piece Of satin ribbon which hung above a
Haylland Over the sign was the following
little nursery rhyme done in fancy letters:
Sing a song of sixpence,
\ pOcketful of rye,
-Four and twenty blackbirds,
Baked in a pie.
When the pie was opened
The birds began to sing;
Wasn't that a dainty dish
To set before kingf
Upon payment of cents. which was AL
most alWaVa increased p, IN
cents, the cover Of the dish was removed
and beautiful little musical bird appeared
and sang few notes which passed forth for
the ''song" referred to in the rhyme.
The musical bird was loaned by kind
dealer IN musical trifies, and every sixpence
taken in was 50 much clear gain. The black
bird pie was great success.
When young man gives box of candy
now, he does not have the box filed with
chocolates or preserved fruit candies, or
with cream bonbons or anything of that
kind. He has 1t filled with an assortment
of tiny candies OF a size suitable to 20 in a
small bonbonniere, or, as IL is now the style
TO call 1t, the sweetmeat box.
The candies are geiatine lozengers about
as large as u show tuition, and of all colors
and tlavors, small cinnamon drops, tinv
Glove candies, cachous of all kinds, and the
very smallest of little candies. There are
also sailed almonds, sailed peanuts, and the
picked out meats Of pecans and walnuts.
These new boxes of candy are more in
teresting than the old ones, even If they are
not as sweet, and they are much more palat-
able, FOR creams and chocolates pail upon
one after a time, and even the sweetest and
daintiest palate becomes stated with too
much sweetness.
The society girl is very fond OF creature
comforts. She is bound to make herself
comfor able, even if she has to 90 without
her corsets to accomplish this result She
wears silk next to her skin and woole over
the silk. SO that the wool keeps her warm
without hurting her. She puts on rubbers
in rainy weather and her house shoes are
lined with fur. Her gloves are Of the finest
kid fitted with fur tops. She wears elder
down Iotticoats aud she has cunning little
nuifier which she can slip over her nose and
ears If the wind begins to blow too cold for
her.
Upon her arm she carries bag fitted out
with everything she can possibly need in
the way of knickknacks and tri6es-from a
lead pencil to peppermint drop.
