are held by Sorosis. If they allow
the programme to be turned upside
down they are highly distinguished.
If not, they are only of ordinary
celebrity.
Some women who couldn't get into
Sorosis aspire to be known as present
on club days. So Sorosis brought
forth this bit of diplomacy:
"Tbat no mem Der shall invite the
same person as a guest to Sorosis more
than twice in one year.
Another rare resolution which in
terests the young women who have to
attend SoIosis in professional capac-
ity is this:
''That the President and Chairman
of Reception Committee shall constitute
committee to interview reporters OH
social days"
These are a few random samples of
what Sorosis does when it has a reso
luton attack, or, as one of its members
explained, "when a contingency rises. !"

AUTOGRAPH FURNITURE Fad.

"The autograph furniture fad is not
exactly new, but it is decidedly in
creasing," said West End furniture
dealer to writer in Answers, who
produced for the inspection Of the
writer beautiful drawing room table,
on the cream white top Of which ap-
peared hundreds of autographs of .eele.
brities, these being largely literary and
dramatic.
"All these signatures are genuine
ones, written on pecliar kind Of
Brazilian white wood with special
ink; but in many cases the surface to
be, written upon is simply good card
board or papier mache. and in all cases
the autograph recovered parts are sent 10
us to be vanished over, and we can GET
such surface that the autographs are
fully protected without glass, Though
these tables are sometimes covered with
plate glass.

French, and believe that the best COL
