81 A bright young woman of this city says
81 that the fashion of such very large sleeves
n will do away with the necessity for chap
81 erons, as the young women are so afraid
81 their fullneSs will be crushed, that the
n young men can not get near them
A young man of this city is in bad
n state There have been any number of
& functions and he has been invited to dances
81 night after night He has been generous
~ entertained by the young ladies and their
& mammals and papas, and when the cards
came in with such rush, he thought he
would do a very graceful thing and at the
same time cancel some of his many obliga-
Il tons if he would ask the young ladies,
who had been kind to him, to go to
dances. He made out a little list, and as
the invitations came in he would add the
name of the one he desired TO take to the
particular dance, and send note immedi-
etely, asking her to go. In trying TO COM
bine business and pleasure, he lost his
h list He thought he could remember just
h which one he had invited for each COM
i pany. and so he did, all but one. There
was a company early in the new year,
very early. He knew he had asked some
one, but who? He was very sure 1T was
street So sure that he ordered the coupe
and directed the man to the house. He
went in and asked for Miss -. He was
told that she had just gone to Mrs. KS
party with Mr.. Somebody. He looked
daZed and left the house. He racked his
brain and could think of no else. The
xrnit pH
give. AS last resort, he concluded to go
10 the party, see who was there and see
10 be bringing by looking over the girls
who were there and finding out who
not place the girl, and she evidently was
not at the party. Now he says he is
afraid to go and call on any, OF the gins
for fear he will go to the right place, ana
receive his just deserts.
The various plans, which those who are in
the swim have had to take to keep their
engagements straight during the past few
weeks, vary. Every year, or every season,
persons make up their minds to keep an en-
gagement book. With other New Year re-
solves these are rarely kept. The scores of
invitations have kept people busy going,
and many OF them have felt the need of
having a list With the many visitors in
the city, there have been the large parties
of all kinds, receptions and for special ones
dinners luncheons, teas, theater parties and
dozens of other amusements. Some have Kept
a list Some have begun a diary. Some lay
the cards in proper order and take them
up each morning and wonder how they can
get to all the places Now mat nat the nyt owe
will be TO make party calls. The days az
home. which are becoming SO popular, VIII
not such way as they have been Tor the
past few weeks.
The photographers and Others have had
considerable ridicule to heap on women for
their lack of pockets and for the difficulty
of finding the few they do possess. The
woman is not lavishly supplied with the nee
essary places for deposting papers, tobacco
and other needful plumber. When it comes
10 handing out her nickel to pay for the
Street car ride, the woman can have her
smile, for the average man has 70 stand up;
up his vest and dive down into his trousers
pocket amid dollars halves, quarters dimes
and nickels, to say nothing of checks, pieces
of pencil and few other small Things,
which may be crowded into the receptacle.
