A Costume Dinner
Is the Latest Fad

Close upon the new arrangement of the
ballroom seats at Mrs. Astors cotillon,
which has been much discussed, follows
costume dinner that was given by Balti-
more beauty, and which also leads in point
OF popularity and uniqueness. The invita-
tions requested that each guest should
come in fancy costume and wear something
grotesque. The hostess, the beautiful Miss
Jenkins, OF Baltimore, it is said, repeated
her success of "Trilby," which made such
sensation at Bar Harbor two summers
ago. She wore a military cap and coat,
and a pair of large shoes made of papier
mache, each representing an immense foot.
On the back of her coat and gown were
spelled out in large black letters the word
'Trilby." AT the conclusion of the dinner
Mr.. Harry Lehr, dressed as a French cook,
in white knickerbockers, white hose, apron,
shirt and cap, presented Miss Jenkins with
large silk banner. In the center, en-
broidered in gold, was Trilby foot, and at
the top was the inscription, ITO Our Love-
ly Hostess" while below the foot was the

Pelham Chapter Will Meet
Wednesday M0rninq

u The regular meeting of the Pelham chap
ter, Daughters of the Confederacy, will be
held Wednesday morning at 10 at the resi-
dence of Mrs. ]. Asa Rountree. Mrs. Rose
G. Lewis, the president, urges a large at
tendance, as this is the last meeting previ-
Gus to the state convention.
There are many members who are delin-
quent in the matter of dues, and accord
ing to the state constitution, a chapter that
is in arrears is not entitled to delegates to
the state convention This matter will be
fully discussed at the meeting on Wednes-
day, and the constitution will hereafter be
rigidly enforced. The dues to the state and
national convention have, owing to the fact
that the majority Of members are in ar
rears, somewhat depleted the treasury. The
constitution calls for the payment of dues
annually and the president requests that
all members who are In arrears will attend
to this matter at once

The Assembly managers are busy with
their arrangements for their first Assembly
ball, which will be held in the ballroom Of
the Florence on Monday evening, February
10.
The first Assembly will be in every detail
the distinctly elegant social function of the
gay world The fact that the first Assem-
bly, will be held at the close of the winter
season has necessitated any number of con-
ferences in regard to new gowns that the
bellies and beauties will wear that evening.
There have been number of elegant gowns
ordered for the occasion, and the beautitul
toilettes to be worn are at present the alb
sorbing theme.
The ball room will be superbly decorated
and the music has been secured from Louis
Vile.
The board of managers of the Assembly
desire to state that to each subscribers Is
allowed only two invitations. There seems
to have been a slight misunderstanding In
regard to the invitation privileges OF sub
scibers. The Assembly invitations Will De
sent out on Monday tomorrow and sub
scribers are requested to send in the names
of those to whom they wish invitations TO
be sent not later than tomorrow (Monday)
morning when the Assembly list Will De
completed. The invitation committee re-
quest that subscribers send their names and
the cards to be enclosed to Mrs Edward

bly, and only eighty invitations can be is

A TOque of Yellow Roses to
Be Worn With Turquoise Gown

A charming little toque to wear with a
gray and yellow gown is made entirely of
Neapolitan violets, lifted off the hair by
folded bandeau of darker violet velvet, and
trimmed high on one side with a small
bunch of feathery mimosa. Very dainty
indeed, is another floral toque composed Of
palest yellow roses, with aigrette of
forget-me-knots on one side and a twist of
turquoise blue mirror velvet under the
brin. This toque has been specially de-
signed for wearing with a gown of tur-
quoise blue glace silk, yelled entirely with
white lisse, upon which has been traced an
elaborate applique of fine cream lace, in a
design representing interlaced garlands of
flowers tied with Louis XVI bows. These
lace garlands are arranged to give a kind
of tablier effect upon the skirt, as they
come down almost to a point in front, and
then curve gradually upwards, till they
touch the line of the waist at the back.
The lower part of the bodice is slightly

New Step on Behalf
Of SUFFERING femininity

Evangeline Probasco, a Chicago girl of
originality and push opened a boot clean
ing establishment the first of Febru-
airy for the exclusive use of women. The
Chicago Times-Herald says:
Miss Probasco has been one of the bellies
of Kenwood's smart set for the past two
seasons Her unusual beauty and her quick
repartee have made her popular although
the excellent standing of her family alone
would give her entrance to many of the
best homes in Chicago. But even the cease
less round of society affairs proves a bore
sometimes, and Miss Probasco had hopes
and aspirations that were more far-reach-
ing than germans and teas, cotilons and
luncheons. She wanted a musical educa-
ito nand a chance to study the modern Ian
guages, such as her mothe and stepfather
could not give her, for social standing and
riches are not always synonymous.
For long time now she has been seek
ing field for money making, her main
desire beng to strike something entirely
new and which would be such a success
that a few years she would be in finan-
cial condition that would warrant her in
INDUCING in the wishes that she has coded
since passing out of the school girl age.
And one day she hit upon this plan-a shoe
cleaning establishment where only the pet
ticoated being of the world would be adj
mtted. No odor of nasty smoke ooZing
over curtain, no chance of a man peeking
about to gaze upon the upusual sight of
a woman having her shoes BACKED. Bus
simply a clean artistically arranged, pleas
ant, comfortable little corner to which
women can run with their muddy boots
and come out shining and happy and not
feeling like a hired man who has been
blowing corn for ten wretched hours.
But all this is changed now. On Febru-
airy Miss Probasco started her shoe clean
inc esta bliSment, 1t is in the heart of the
great shopping district, on Washington
street, between State and Wabash. -Four
sturdy sons of Italy, in clean SUITS of gin
CHAM, viii scrape and brush and polish all
the little shoes that trip that way. There
will be a platform of pure white marble,
and on his will stand four chairs of solid
oak and heavy leather. A dainty screen
will separate this unique business from the
shoe store which will divide room space
with it. There will be few artistic little
etchings on the walls, while a big library
table covered with the latest magazines and
periodicals will furnish interest and amuse-
ment 10 the patrons who viii have to await
their turn. That there will be few powder

Mrs. Estes Elected Chapter Regent
Dauahters of 1.-THE Revolution

The annual meeting for the election of
officers of the General Sumpter chapter of
the Daughters of the American Revolution
occurred the past week at the home of the
retiring chapter regent, Mrs. Edward II.
Cabaniss The meeting was of unusual in
terest and Importance and was largely at
tended, an invitation having been extended
to a number of women who have signified
their intention of joining the Daughters.
The business of Importance was the annual
election of officers, and tho appointing of
delegates to the continental congress, which
shortly convenes in Washington, d. C.
The retiring officers of the General Sump-
ter chapter are Mrs. Edward H Cabaniss.
chapter regent and Mrs. Charles Read,
treasurer.
The past year, under Mrs. Cabaniss re-
gency, has been in every way a successful
one, and she has been one of the most pop
ular regents in the history of the chapter.
The election for the ensuing year resulted
as follows
Mrs. William G. Ester, regent; Mrs. A.
II. Henley, vice regent; Mrs. John w. Tom
linson, treasurer; Mrs. i. J. Haley, secre-
tary; Mrs. N w. Trimble, historian.
The selection of the chapter regent was a
most happy one. Mrs. Estes is in every
way qualified for the dignity and response
bility of the office.
There is every reason to believe that the
General Sumpter Chapter, under Mrs.
Estes regency, has a brilliant year in
prospect
Then too, there has been growing inter-
est recently in revolutionary matters and
the mebership of the chapter is being con-
stantly increased. A number of women
have recently sent in their applications,
and the new regent urges the women who
intend joining the daughters to send in
their application at once. The General
Sumpter chapter will be represented at the
Forthcoming continental congress by Mrs
Edward H. Cabaniss who will go as ex-
officio. Her alternate is Mrs. N. w.
Trimble. Mrs. j. Morgan Smith will go
as state regent and it is also probable that
Mrs John w. Tomlinson and Mrs. Robert
Jemison will attend the congress.

A Dinner Book Encourages

says a society woman. Every time I give
