The Knights had made ample prepara-
tions for the event, and everything
passed off in most satisfactory manner.
The program opened with a song by
Miss Myrtle Mlchell,. which was re-
ceiyed with the expression of pleasure
that always follows any of this young
lady's efforts. Hon. w. H. Wilson had
been asked to take place on the pro-
gram, and made short address on Py-
thianism, which was listened to with
close attention. Mr.. Wilson reviewed
some of the principles upon which the
order was founded, and extolled the
aims and practices of Knights of Py-
thias. The address contained many
good thoughts, and was delivered i'm
pressively. A musical selection by the
Misses Stone proved one of the mosi
pleasing numbers on the program.

A youthful decoration is that afford

three Topped bow formed ON each shoul-
der band of ribbon extends brace fash
ion to ribbon belt, and from the belt
two pointed ends of ribbon depend in
line with the braces.
Numbered with popular neck deeora-
tions is one made with black satin rib
bon in two widths. The wide ribbon
forms the collar, being disposed in a
series Of short loops round a collar band
to produce the effect of ruche. A strip
of the narrow ribbon starts from the col
lar at each side and extends over the
shoulder, and from the end droop three
loops which suggest caps. Such decora
ton would improve the appearance of a
waist with sleeves a trifle less bouffant
than the present style. A pretty stock
collar is made of blue ribbon wrinkled
about standing high collar, with three
loops projecting at either side. A double
buckle of silver is effectively fastened
over the collar.

measured 71a inches in length, and not

New Years customs in the United
States are evidently the result of social
evolution of that law the scientists call
mat ural selection and survival of the fit
test In other words, each set of the
early immigrants brought OF devised its
own customs, and those best suited to the
nature of the country and genius of the
people have become general while all 9TH
ers have been quietly dropped. 1t is not
easy to trace the origin OF the Knicker-
booker custom of gentlemen calling on
their lady friends and taking refreshments,
but it is evidently one of the "httest, - for
it is becoming national.
Its progress westward and southwark
can be traced as certainly as any other So
cial or any political development, and it
seems subject to curious law Of action
and reaction. A western village or small
city takes up the fashion. and its observ-
ance becomes more general every year for
some time; then it falls into disuse for
year or two, only to revive again with
more style and more general observance.
