how much we raise the price we would
not make public ball out of it as we
sell to no one out side the list of invi-
tations, thereby keeping the ball as
exclusive as good society demands.
Well we made over one thousand dol.
lars for thepoor and the ball was an en-
joy''''" and u very pretty affair too-in
th ...r;e new auditorium. The dresses
were dreams only known to the dress
makers art, soft pillows Of sea she'll
pink silk, trimmed with pearls ana
not only pink but most of the hues
OF the rainbow and 'decollette" to a
finish supported at the shoulder, with
only a narrow strip of velvet confined
only by a bunch of roses, violets or II
diamond star well it made one kind of
uneasy for fear this narrow s'suspender"
might "bust'') and little Miss G. who
is too young for society and was only
an onlooker in the early evening, said
in disgusted tone-"well mammal
should think those ladies would 80
home and put on their waists but
the matron with the 'grey hound" col
lar bone waltzed on and the debutant
belle, with fat, pink cheek and neck,
tloated after her, "the poetry of
motion" The dress that pleased me
most was that of one of our neighbors
Mrs. Harry West just home from IL
a year in Paris. This dress was a rose
satin coveredwith lace, that glittered
with butter flies and lovers knots, cut
very delicately and strapped across the
shoulder by bands of expensive rhine
tho dress being Il creation from Paris.
Modern jewelry seems to be taking a
rest this winter, even diamonds rele-
gated to a back seat at some of the
swell functions and supplanted for the
time being with very old jewelry (any
kind of an heir loom is just the afad")
or all kinds OF cheap ''gew gaws" such
as "Rhine stones" imitation ruby or
emerald or naments three for quart
or for instance: and girls you must
have a chain of some kind or you are
not in it at all in swell society; dig up
your old watch chain-three times a.
round your neck with slide and then
! some or loose the "Canine" but you
must wear chain around your neck
Now how do know but that you will
go over to my summer home, "The
Cabin" and take the collar off my pup,)
| as none of you possess aCanine but me
but please don't. Yes and you must
wear very light gloves for calling and
receptions, most of the time white; SO
here between holding drabbled skirts
and fighting the feck of coal SCOT with
the other hand, that persists in light
ing on your nose, we'll one pair of white
gloves is ready for the cleaner after
one afternoon or evening and you eX-
claim as you pay the bill "Ah! Con
sistency" you seem to have blown to
parts unknown. Yes and you must
have handkerchief waist ah, SO
pretty, made of four plaid silk hand
kerchiefs brought on for that purpose
only two fifty piece, that is only ten
dollars without findings" and then
Madame Stevens will take the waist
for ten SO you see there is a pretty
waist for only twenty with as much
higher as you want to go; we'll if can
"hold up a train rob bank" or 'sell
the cook stove" mean to have one
waist at least. Another thing l look
upon us cruelty to animals is this, just
as every one has the expensive new
Golf skirt with plain saddle back
and declares that it is solid comfort
especially on wet day. But forget
!you Dakota ladies don't know any.
thing about damp bad days. Well nov
the new skirts have double box pleat
or more, that's what l call cruel.
Expect you will all be glad that
have been interrupted by the bell ant
can not finish this letter until neXr
