The lawn party last Friday evening
was most pleasant gathering. There
were tables of fancy articles, toys, can
dies and refreshments. The name of a
beautiful doll was guessed by many la
dies and the correct name, Grace, was
guessed by Miss May Robinson, who
presented the doll to Alice Sears. A
good amount for the organ fund was
Melted. 1t is to be hoped that in the
near future the efforts of the musical
talent for the same object may be en-
joyed by many.

Daughters Of the American RevoIu-
ton.

One of the pleasant features of the day
was the meeting and banquet given by
the local chapter of the Daughters of the
American Revolution at the residence of
Miss Kate j. Hubbell, beyond Benning-
ton Centre. The house, one of the old
patriotic history of the ancestors of the
present owner, and was prettily decorat-
ed with red, white and blue flowers,
flags and streamers. On the porch were
spinning wheels, flax wheels and old
chairs that have been in the Hu5bell
family for years.
Twenty members of the chapter with
four invited guests were present, among
the latter was Mrs. Jesse Burdett. State
Regent of the order, Mrs. Chas. Il. Sey-
mour, Miss Elmendorf and Mrs. A. o.
Sherry. The banquet, which was quite
elaborate, was served by Sinsabaugh of
Troy, at one p. m. The tables, two in
number, were spread in the dining room,
covers being laid for twentyfour per-
sons. Mrs. Harrison |. Morton, regent of
the chapter, presided at one table. AT
her right was Mrs. Jesse Burdett and at
her left, Mrs. Seymour, Mrs. A. y. Val
entine occupied the other end. Miss
Hubbell pres ded at the other table,
Mrs. II. r. Cushman being at her right
and Mrs Jessie Scott at her left. Mrs.
L. F. Abbott occupied the foot of this
table. After the viands had been dis.
posed of, came the post prandial exer-
cises, Mrs. A. B. Valentine acting as
toast master. These exercises lasted
about an hour and were quite interest
ing.
The Daughters of the American Revo-
luton feel a profound pride in their or.
ganization. When, in her travels, one
meets gracious and dignitied women
(are they not all gracious and dignified?),
wearing the blue and white badge of the
Order, she unconsciously lifts her head

Up to
Date Presents for Brides

NEW YORK, May 1.--(Special cores
pondence) e)-The engagement season will
soon be in full blast and before the sum-
mer months come around a large number
of winters buds will have been gathered
in by the young men who have been
stamped as available by the watchful
mammas.
June is the great month for fashionable
weddings, and students of society's
doings have noticed that when the we'd
dings are most numerous new engage
ments are announced with wonderful
rapidity. May is always the great en-
gagement month, and the reasons for this
are many. The young men aid women
see their mutual friends stepping off into
the matrimonial arena and this is sutfic-
lent to cause many to 60 and do likewise.
Then there is certain infection about
the preparations of a big wedding which
seems to take hold of the av. rage fash
ionable young girl and force her to take
the preliminary step towards wedding
of her own.
I Again. there is the old adage about the
spring time and the yourg mans fancy
turning to thoughts of love. Whatever
the cause may or may not be, the fact re-
mains that May is the banner month OF
the year for engagements, and with the
arrival of May will be the launching of a
new fashion-that of making engage
1nent gifts to the happy beings who have
just plighted their troths.

IN SOCIAL LIFE

The Caroline Severance Free Kinder
garten was the beneficiary OF drawing
room" given by our former gracious
Queen of La Fiesta yesterday afternoon
in New Music hall on Spring street. A
throne was arranged on the stage and
given bower-like appearance by the use
of bamboo standards at the front corners
of the raised dais with horizontal bar
connecting them the whole outlined with
a wreath of roses and was in most pleas
ing contrast with the stage settings, rep
resenting a forest scene. The foreground
of the stage was decorated in Gala lilies
and yellow margueritcs. Her majesty
appeared in her royal robes and wearing
the crown jewels. The following maids
of honor were in attendance: Mesdames
Frank RAIDER and J. r. Hamilton, the
Misses Widney. Foy. Lockhart, Newmark.
King and Workman. A delightful pro-
gramme as given below was enjoyed by
the 200 guests present:
Plan o solo-Miss Loeb
Vocal duet-Mr. and Mrs. Modini.Wood
Cornet solo-Miss Loeb.
Vocal solO-Mrs A. c. Taylor
ecitation-Miss Robinson
Vocal trio Mrs. Wood, Mrs. Taylor and Mr.

Remarks-Mrs Galpin.
Vocal duet-Mrs. Wood and Mrs. Taylor.
Mrs. Galpln told briefly how the free
kindergarten had its origin OH the coast
How Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper, who is so
well known for her charities, was living
in Il happy home 20 years ago on the
shores of Puget Sound; how she took into
her home and nursed a stranger through
an attack of small poX where the dread
destroyer spread and bereaved her of four
of her five children, leaving the fifth a
frail little invalid; how she removed to
San Francisco 10 years ago and founded
the first kindergarten on the coast in
which to educate this child. Th s
institution has developed into rs diff.
ferent schools, into which 1904 chill
rem at the ages of ) to years have been
taken from the streets and its filth and
evil companship and placed in cleanly
surroundings, and trained to use their
little heads and hands in the accomplish
ment of good. Eighteen thousand child
ren in San Francisco have received this
training during the last fifteen years. In
Los Angeles the kindergarten has been a
branch of the public school system tor
several years past, but children under 5
years of age are excluded from these
classes, and it is for their benefit that
this charity has been organized. Several
months ago a free kindergarten was
started in Sonoratown, for the benefit of
which yesterday afternoons entertain
ment was given. At the conclusion of
Mrs. Galpin's remarks an opportunity
was given those present to pay homage to
the queen, who has so graciously given
her time and talent for the public well

In a desultory Way the giving of engage
ment presents has been going OH in New
York for the last year, but now the prac-
tice threatens to become as general as the
sending OF wedding gifts. Queen Vic
toria is the originator of tie engagement
gift fashion, and it has long been her
custom to send some little token Of her
regard to all her favorites when their en-.
gagements are announced.
Miss Adele Vanderbilt Sloane has been
one of the first of the New York girls to
pleasantly realize the existence of the
new fashion. Her engagement to the
young son of James r. Burden is of
take place at Lenox in June. The ar
rangements for this wedding are worthy
of mention. as it will be one of the most
elaborate affairs OF the kind in the his
tory of society. Il n
Miss Sloane is the second of the William
II. Vanderbilt grandchildren to marry,
and the whole Vanderbilt clan are deter
mined upon making it an event. Merely
on account of the wedding. Cornelius
Vanderbilt has leased house at Lenox.
and George Vanderbilt has leased an
other.
W. d. Sloane, the bride elects. father,
has leased two complete hotels for the
wedding week for the comfort and ac-
commodation OF the, guests who will
journey from New York. and Newport to
be present at the, ceremony. OF course
there will be special Wedding trains of
palace cars from both cities. and amuse
ments are being planned which will make
carnival week out of the affair.
The herald., 1895-05-05

Another charming widow whom it is
whispered will soon be the recipient OF
numerous engagement gifts is Mrs. Sam
Colgate. who came into ten millions about
two years ago when MIR. Colgate died.
Mrs. Colgate was southern girl and was
Miss Cora Smith of New Orleans, as
named far and wide as beauty.
1t is said that Count Sierstorp. who has
been paying her marked attention. has
been successful in his suit. and that the
lady will soon go abroad to purchase her
trOusseau.
There is one feature of the engagement
gift fad which may lead to unpleasant re
suits. 1t is not unusual for fashionable
people to. become engaged. make prepara-
last moment break off the engagement.
OF course the young lady will not care to
have as constant reminders OF such an
unfortunate affair numerous little love-
tokens from her friends Miss Anna
Gould YVES engaged twice before she be-
came engaged to and married Count de
Castelane. and if she had been burdened
at the final engagement with two sets Of
reminders of her former love affairs. it
would have been unpleasant, to say the
least. Miss Angelina Gerry was also en-
gagged to ]. Wadsworth Richie. and only
u short time before the date set for the
wedding the engagement was broken off.
These merely show that the new fad has
its disadvantages.
Mrs. Eugene Kelly. jr.. has made a
reputation for prodigality in the matter
of engagement gifts. She was one of the
first of the wealthy New York women to
take up the fashion and make it popular.
Her gifts are usually gold, and frequently
the precious metal is studded with jewels
of great value.
Mrs. Theodore Havemeyer. wife of the
sugar king. is another fashionable woman
who has done much to make the fashion
popular. Mrs. Havemeyer spends more
money. perhaps, than any other woman
in New York, and when she sends gift
to any one it is certain to be something
well worth receiving.

til ing bordering upon set design. which
is the particular horror of the smart set.
When the announcement of the engage
ment of the Duchess of Marlborough to
Lord William Beresford was made short
time ago a number of engagement gifts
we're at once sent her by her New York
friends, although these little tokens of
friendship will hardly reach her before
the wedding pay. No little gossip was
created apropos OF this engagement, and
the fact that but $l45, 900 a year had been
settled by the Duchess upon Lord Beres-
ford.
When she was plain Mrs. Hammerasley
of New York, with an income of $40, 900
year, and the duke of Marlborough
courted her., it was said that she agreed
to allow the duke the handling of nearly
all of her great income, an Office which
he was abundantly able to fill. This ar
-rangement got the poor duchess into so
much litigation that it has evidently had
its effect and now she will do the manag-
ing OF her own money.
