foreign idea Is Miss Elizabeth Kirkland,
a. she Is known socially. or Miss Odette
Tyler. professionally.
Miss Kirkland is playing the leading
part in Shenandoah at the Academy OF
Music for the season. The rooms mere
are spacious. and Mr.. Frohman has put
aside d pretty suite for her. Miss kirk

while abroad this year, and came bacK
determined To adopt 1t.
The large sitting-room In when sne
receives her friends is hung after the
English fashion in delicately -colored
chintz. The woodwork is blue. The
windows are cross-barrcd with fligreed
iron and hung in golden-brown plush.
Rugs are thrown about the floor, great
divans covered with golden velvet are
piled high with silk and Persian cush-
ions. A low. French dresser is placed
under two great sde-lights on which lie
Il multitude of silver toilet articles. y
wrltiny-dcsk is usually open with Miss
Kirkland's monogrammed paper lying
ready. and everywhere on matinee DAY $

one only goes by Invitation, and usually
pleasant people are brought together by
the tact of the hostess. Sometimes Il
clever musician is asked, and in a most
Informal way he spends his time at the
piano. while the maid serves tea in the
exquisite cups that were sent 10 Miss
kirkland by friends when her recent
engagement 10 Mr.. Howard Gould was
announced.
Miss Kirkland wears very smart house
gowns at these receptions. one | noticed
