the Rito de Santa Fe, which rises bu
fifteen miles above the point where it
waters are taken out for use in the city
and which, flowing in canon, drains al
area of but thirty square miles. The
rainfall mentioned falling on that area
would not seem to promise large sur.
plus to run off for irrigation. But the
rainfall is much greater in the mountains
and it is supplemented by the treasures
of the snow. Rising sheer from the edge
of the lake which is the source of the Rito
de Santa Fe, and on its north and west
sides, are the Twin lake peaks which
reach an altitude of nearly $4,000 feet.
Looking up from Santa Fe on a cold
winter morning one may see,
in mid air, a horizontal
stream of snow, looking like the tail of
comet, blown from these mountain tops
by the northwest wind that prevails in
such weather, all of which snow falls in
! and around the lake, often to the depth
| of more than 100 feet. From the melting
OF this mass of snow in spring the liver
attains flow for many weeks of some so
cubic feet per second. Its midsummer
flow is but 10 TO 20 cubic feet per second,
ali of which is turned directly upon
the fields and orchards. 1t is to re-
tain and hold over for the midsummer

spring when the water is not needed, that

at once made it a very unceremonious
excuse for a break in the dull after
noon dreariness at the hour when
other diversions are not possible. The
term kettIedrum is now rarely used;
but Is displaced by afternoon tea.
About three years ago, after the
kettledrum was introduced, several
society leaders came together and
agreed that it would save time and
strength if the giving d tea
and the going to it were
equivalent for a years visiting. So it
is decreed that a tea pays off all social
obligations. Some conspicuous hos
tesses in New York never make calls.
They give a tea; they send cards. A
tea is the clearinghouse for cards. A
wedding invitation demands a call
upon the bride; a dinner requires a
call within a week. For a ladies' lunch
a call must be made soon after. An
evening party and a dancing party re-
quire a call, but the tea does not.
The visit to the giver of the tea is a
call in itself, and a card sent is as good
in the eyes of etiquette as the call.

ence Still p~erplexity is the inspiration
of resource, and in the Louis XVI model,
now very much in evidence among ultra
fashionable women who have already
exhausted the empire and have not yet
accepted the ugliness of the 1880 styles
there are hope and help for the back
number gown, thinks the New York Sun,
The waist Of the Louis XVI gown has
a point in front and at the back, and
about its lower edge is gathered the
fullness of the skirt opening ove a
breadth Of material, contrasting with the
rest of the dress. 8 Because the skirt is
shorter than these of last season the back
breadths may be shortened at the top,
thus increasing the fullness at the belt.
The fullness Is massed at the back, but
the gathers cover the hips as well. Out
of date china silks, brocades and figured
material ofan kinds are well adapted to
this style, the front breadth being of shot
satin or heavy corded silk trimmed in
straight bands cross the bottom. The
sleeves may match the breadth inserted
and have balloon paffs at the top slashed
over the contrasting color. The dress
given is an elegant affair for dinner wear
of Marie Antionette brocade in pale hello
trope and green on a ground of white.
The front breadth is shot green and law
g}ender satin, the trimming gold galloon
set with lavender mock jewels.
,slOne'oof the cuts shows an idea for a
working dress of silk bingham, which
looks so like the bingham silk that costs
three times as much and will not wash.
This particular zephyr has a clear pink
stripe of silk, or something that closely
resembles it, alternating with a stripe of
chine gray and pink curves and spirals

with a puff above Of the Bingham, edges
the skirt. Another runs parallel with it
a quarter of a yard above, and two 9TH
ers follow. Three ~ruf1es, one above the
other, trim the waist about the shout
ders, the top one falling over the sleeve,
which Is set in quite off the point of the
shoulder. A folded belt of satin ribbon
confines the fu1lness of the waist.
Another Is cheviot, quite quaint and
odd enough to be Enthusiastically new.
The shoulder seams, cut down well over
the point Of the shoulder, give an I'M
familiar slant to the little cape which
finishes the bodice. The sleeves have
double pufs at the elbow and little ruff
