In spite OF wintry blasts and freezing
temperature, there was summer warmth,
beauty and fragrance within the resi-
depcs of Mr.. and Mrs. G. w. Brocku-
nier, on the corner OF Fourteenth and
Chapline streets, last Monday evening,
the occasion being New Years recep-
ton given by their daughters, Misses
Mary and Shirley Brockunier. The
apartments were beautifully decorated.
The Railways and vestibule were pict-
uresquely adorned, while the parlor on
the second floor was also deity De-
decked with the emblems OF nature.
The hours for reception were from
eight TO twelve o'clock, and during that
time a large number of guests appeared
on the scene. The Misses Brockunier
were gracefully assisted in receiving by
their parents, Mr.. and Mrs. c, w.
Brockunier, Miss Lizzie Brockunier
and Wilbur G. Brockunier, OF Bridge
port, Miss Hulda Delaplain and Miss
Matte Clark. The Opera House or
chestra was stationed in the upper hall
way, and throughout the reception dis
courSed enhancing. strains. Upon re-
turning TO the first floor the guests
were invited to the dining room, the
young ladies here in charge being
Misses Sidney OFT and Matte Caldwell.
Among others who lent their aid were
little Miss Sarah BrOckunier, youngest
daughter Of Mr.. c. w. Brockunier, who
with one or Two other friends formed a
pretty juvenile section Of the assembly.
The dining room was one of the most
picturesque apartments. Tables were
arranged at convenient intervals, and
apart from the other decorations about
the walls and chandeliers the tables
were artiStiCally strewn with Ivy and
beautiful miniature translucents. The
effect was charming. A most inviting
array of delicaCieS were served and
heartily partaken Of, burst being the
caterer.
The briliance of the chandelier rs it
glares down upon woman's cOunte-
nance tells the secret Of her age as ac-
curately as does the family Bible! To
modify the revelations OF the gaSlight
cover the chandelier shade with a piece
of pale yellow or old rose silk. The silk
SHOULD be shirred so as TO fit the top OF
the globe, and then shirred again at the
bottom, so that it acts snugly around IL.

Dancing is now at it's height. Every
body that can, dances nowadays or
never. The one dance, that is, the one
popular dance, is the glide waltz, the
twO-step and the dozen or more less in
teresting and graceful dances. Author
tiles agree on this and aver that so long
as dancing is all popular the glide waltz
will be the most popular.
Mr.. r. K. Friend and sisters have Is
sued invitations for an entertainment at
their residence on next Monday.

Little people have an extravagant
habit Of outgrowing their things, and
Dame Fashion is quite as CapriCious and
exacting in her dress demands for baby
daughters as for her elder sisters and
pretty mammas. Her latest vagaries in
liiputian novelties are Influenced by the
quaint simplicity OF construction and
picturesque richness Of material which
obtain in gowns for bellies Of larger
growth. Even the tiny baby must needs
have a style, and the latest mode In long
cloaks is full double sleeveless cape,
made ivory-tinted corduroy and trim
med with emu feathers to match. Such
a luxurious garment is rarely INDUCED
in save for the first baby,
