The ball by the ladies' Of the Propylaeum,
which is numbered yearly among the chief
social functions Of the season, will be given
this year on Wednesday, Thanksgiving eve.
Invitations to the ball have been sent to
the stockholders and through them are to
be given to friends of stockholders. Only
in this way can admission to the ball be
had. There are no direct invitations from
the Propylaeum Association, except TO the
stockholders. The ladies OF the Propylaeum
want this point understood in order to re-
move any seeming neglect. Friends desir-
ing TO attend the ball can get invitations
through some of the stockholders. The
tickets are 10 be had at the Propylaeum
They have been placed at 81, and this in
cludes the supper.
The Propylaeum is now In it's most at
tractive garb. Only recently it has been
redecorated and redraped and several inn
provements made to add to the convenience
and comfort OF assemblies. The kitchen
has been augmented so that this most i'm
portant and least-talked-of part of a party
the supper-can be prepared in the best
way. For the Propylaeum ball an elaborate
spread is designed.
There will also be something new in the
way of decorations. Some original inten-
tions OF the decorating committee for this
entertainment will be carried out. There
will also be new music by Hart. Four new
!. two-steps that have never before been
played in Indianapolis will be given. one

The executive committee of the associa-
ton and few other ladies will serve as
hostesses, receiving the guests in the west
parlor.
At one Of the receptions given this sea-
son young woman who attended was
asked, when she came to her hostess:
"will you go up and take of your hat?'
The young lady thanked her, but replied
that she would keep her hat on. The host
ess gave her rather queer look, she
thought. but said nothing further. Abou;
q quarter OF an hour later 1t suddenly
dawned on the young woman that she had
been asked to assist, and after the invita-
ton she had never given it another
thought. even when she was dressing for
the reception. What to do she did not
know. She did not want TO be so discour-
teous as to say she had forgotten the COM
pliment of her hostess, nor did she feel
that she was dressed she would like to
be TO assist. She had an uncomfortable
feeling. She mentioned to a group OF
friends that she ought to be assisting,
WAch dhOehCA OttS cFcAC w eIlQ SdlQ she,
too. believed she had been asked also.
With the solace Of having a companion
who had shown the same disregard, the
two went TO the hostess and made a clean
breast Of II, and were made TO feel a re-
vival OF spirits
The coming in of tight sleeves will put
an end TO the high hand-shake A young
woman who was incased in siAxen armor
OF the new pattern was approached at a
company by a young man with his elbow
elevated She tried to meet his hand in
midair. and Immediately thereupon found
she would have TO give notice hereafter
that those who wanted to link their kid
glove with hers would have to come down a
story two. Probably the fashion in
hand-shake will have TO conform to the
change OF style in gown sleeves. The high
shake may go with full dress but not with
long sleeves.
Speaking of clubs" said a handsome
young natron who has recently entered In
dianapoiis society. ct have had most
amusing experience with one recently. Just
before the season opened received through
the mail card announcing that I had
been made a member of a certain club and
that the first meeting would be at such a
place on such a date. One can imagine
with what curiosity I attended that first
meeting. Up to that time i had never
heard the name OF my hostess. When ar
rived I discovered that the only lady there
