PERSONAL AND SOCIETY
ONE OF THE VERY LATEST ARIsTO.
CRATIC SOCIETIES.
The MayfsOwer observation-disclosures
Utensils Now Made i'm
Silver.

Indianapolis has Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution Society, Daughters of the
Revolution Society and a Society of Colonial
Danes In Indiana. Now the very latest and
most aristocrauc society of all is the May
flower Society, and there is none in Indi-
ana. The eligibility for membership lies IN
tde applicant being descendant of a per-
son who came over in the Mayflower. As
the number was limited, the society is con-
sidcrod more exclusive than any of the 9TH
ers.
Not long ago a gentleman had exceedingly
good luck at progressive euchre. He is
man who has been deprived by nature of his
hair. and has only recently spent a small
fortune for a superfine toupee. 1t is the
pride Of his life The games kept piling up
for him. and the girls who knew what the
first prize for the gentleman was began TO
have a spell Of the giggles. The games were
his, and the prize was a silver comb.
The Cinderella cotillon is one of the fash
ionable dances that is given at Sherrys, In
New York. There was only one set of
handsome favors as souvenirs of the even
ing, but the dance favors were ribbon bows
of various styles and colors. The dance be-
gan at 10 o'clock, and exactly at midnight
the hall suddenly was totally dark, but for
10 the banquet room began, and after the
feast there was an informal dance.
With the trouble that so many have with
cooks II may not be so very long before the
woman with fortune will use some Of the
fine articles which are said to be found in
tho elegant stores. A silver coffee mill for
$175 is so fine that the coffee is brought into
the dining room ground with this silver
grinder placed over a silver stove, which
is set on the table, and coffee made in a
silver pot The mother OF a family may
Pop their corn in silver pepper with an
ebony handle, or she may core her apples
with a silver corer that costs 1915. She will
stir her cake in a Russian lacquer bowl and
use any number of the Japanese kitchen
articles. Even the most prosaic of occuDa-
tons might take on some new interests if
kitchen appointments were handsome.
