Frohsinn Concert.

The postponed concert of The
Frohsinn Maenner Gesang Verein
took place last night at Mission
Garden hall. The weather was
propitious and the attendance
such that the hall was full to over
flowing. The numbers Of the pro.
gram were gone through without
any discord. The Verein seemed
to be in good tune and gave splen-
did rendition of "Das Deutsche
Lied" Prof. Halbedl had to re.
spond to an encore with second
solo. Mr.. Gus. Bonnet was in a
happy mood with his fine tenor
and the crisp weather seemed to
act like magic on Mr.. Lieck's vic.
lin. Prof. Alois Braun, the young
pianist, elected well-earned ap-
plause. The acme of the entertain
ment was the laughable farce of

modesty, the "lady host" OF the

tainment ended with a dance, in
which nearly all the visitors par
ticipated.

the grand opera in this city have
a treat in store for them which un.

There are many opera companies

completeness this one excels them
all. Each production is as COM

The costumes are as rich as money

That such an expensive company
in every way can afford to play to

Hostess in Gown Of Blue Satin with
Panel Of Roses
In Diamonds and Pearls-Lovely
Debutante in Pink-Mme. Faure's
Reception and Official Introduc-
ton to Society for the Buds-Mat-
rons Resplendant in Gems.

PARIS, November 9.-Here in Paris
it is all as Nine. Faure does. What
Nine. Faure wears" What Nine.
Faure says" are sufficient TO set the
fashions of the day. Indeed, I think,
if any individual woman does not set
the Paris fashions it is Nine. Faure,
wife of the President of the French
Republic.
And this reminds me that each sea-
son in Paris there is gossip connecting
the fashions with some particular wo-
man. One year. / know, it was Mrs.
Mackey. the American woman, who
was accredited with setting the fash
ionable vogue in skirts a-mOving. An
other season il was a Russian Countess
who was the fashionable rage in Paris
for three months. She was copied by
the mOdistes and the ladies. And
quite recently all Paris watched and
patterned after one of the descendants
of the royal family in Spain.
A MODEL RECEPTION.
Nine. Faure gave a very brilliant
ball the other evening. She called it q
reception. for her little ladyship is
clever. and is not willing to be under
sized in her entertainments. Better a
large brilliant reception, with all mar
Yelling at its elegance, than a small
ball with people wondering if that is
all there is TO be.

They all assented.
"Jack so often is out Of town-some-
times out to the Jack Bass or Isaac Wal
ton Fishing Club, and l know he must
yet lonesome; but, you see, If he has
Baxter's Saints Rest or his hymnal n

Mrs. Thompson was heartily COM
lmended for her wise selection, and three
other women resolved to duplicate jack 8
present.
IT took me quite a while to decide
what To get Tom" said Mrs. Simpklns,
e,but I hit it at last and what do You
think It Will be-"
What can it be-" was the eager
query.
"A lovely leather hat box-one like
you carry a silk hat in you know.
Does your husband wear a silk hat?'
asked Mrs. White, whose husband is
chum of Mrs. Simpkin's husband.
mo; that is. not at present, but men
are so curious that one can't tell when
he will. and, then you see, II he does, ne
will have his hat box. That's what l
call foresight Then they last so long
| am keeping that IN view Now, mother
bought papa one the first Christmas af-
ter they were married, and it is at home
in the garnet yet.
This logic so impressed Mrs. DeVere
that she mentally duplicated the present
for her husband who was never known
to wear a silk hat or leave his ward in
his l:fe.
Mrs. Towsley very sensibly remarked:
Il believe, Christmas being Christmas,
in getting things TO suit the occasion.
Now. what is more suggestive, when we
think of Christmas, than snow balls,
ice and all that sort Of thing. SO, says

Will get him q splendid pair of skates.
Robert always told me that he was a
lovely skater when he was young. He Is
only 5S, and his rheumatism don't
trouble him so very much, especially if
the weather amt sloppy, and, of course,
we can't expect ice in sloppy weather

ladies look at that clock! Mrs. DeKo-
ven and will never get home if we don't

A hurried adjustment Of gloves and
cloaks, numerous good-byes, and the
Guild dispersed

each year I think the gowns more beau
tiful than the las,, so the fact that /
specially admired them may be eX-
planned away as an annual enthusiasm.
Nine. Faure herself wore the most
demure gown you ever imagined. l
was in a line waiting to be presented;
for. at her receptions. the wife Of the
President is very general in her invita-
lions and q crush is always expected.
And. waiting twenty feet away from
her / had q chance to observe her
gown. It looked simple pale blue
satin. with a panel of white rose en-
broidery down the left side. When it
came my turn to approach her l found
that the plain little white rose panel
was an exquisite embroidery in dia-
monds. pearls and rh nestones. and
that the blue satin was literally stand
ing alone with richness. Madame re
ceived" that evening, part Of the time
seated, as so many French hostesses-do.
The debutantes OF the French sea-
son were out in full force that evening.
Tt is in Paris an official presentation TO
society. as it were. 10 be present at
Nine. Faure's reception, and be wei
coined into Paris society by her.
One Of the debutantes stood near me
for fifteen minutes. looking around in
a frightened little way. She had lost
her chaperOn, become separated from
her companions in debutantism, and
was like q duckling away from the
kitchen garden. or little frightened
white vision that had lost its atmos-
phere.
Her gown was so pretty that | was
sorry when they found her and took
her away to the supper room. Ii Is IN
the supper room that the girlish debu-
tantes in Paris most do congresale'
Her gown was the whitest OF PINK sat

crown of gems, and there were specks

irons among whom Nine. Faure,
though past the limit OF young matroh-
