There are forms Of entertainment
which one can borrow from other places
that will be both novel and charming.
For instance, as nothing is more de-
lightful than dinner, and people still
profess a fondness for tea, there is this
happy combination. Following a dinner
where the hostess will entertain cho-
sen company OF a congenial dozen or
more, coffee is served in the drawing
room or library. II the hostess should
have invited, perhaps, 40 or so men and
women to drop in at the close Of the
dinner, and coffee should be served in
the drawing room to the entire party,
dinner company and all, could anything
be more informal or cosy? Then there
are the dinner dances, so called because
half dozen hostesses unite on some
common evening for dinner parties, and,
at the conclusion OF the feast, the whole
series of parties join at some central
home or club room to pass the remain
der Of the night in dancing.

GAS a tale that is told" we list with
vague incredulity of that time of yore
when the giving Of presents between
young men and maidens was accounted
an improperly which no high-minded
parent would permit or discreet young
persons dare. The revolution started
With a smuSgled flower, continued to

step from bOnbonS and fruits TO such
snbStantials as game and venison, and
from pictures in books to those on
walls, until presto! the modern admirer
has full liberty 10 furnish the drawing
room and ill the larder II he so wills.
And now, when the question comes,
Carlos, old boy, what are you going

modest gift imaginable-some embroid-

What is il? Are the days Of chivalry in
some vain manner making an effort TO
repeat themselves with a new order Of
the Knights of the Garter, and a needed
revival Of their old motto: .'Honi soft
