9TH Err TIMELY TOPICS

| III the way OF cosby material this
week has been great success. The pleas
ures OF the first two days left behind them
no such opportunities, however for small
talk as the little incidents which have oc-
CURED since. The Mardi Gras ball was a
grand frolic, of which many pretty souve-
Mrs will remain in the form of photo
graphs. The Chinese minister and Mrs WI
wore probably the most deliberately en-
broidered costumes ever seen in this coun-
4 try, while Mrs. Takahira in the daintiest
| of kimonaS was a picture. Two men
dressed as mandarins nearly disturbed the
equanimity of Mr.. WI, who quickly dis
covered that the upper part of one Of the
i costumes and the lower part Of the other
| would have represented the dress of a
Chinese woman If worn by the same indi-
| v1dual. This trif1ing inaccuracy, however,
did not bother wearers nor anybody else
| less conversant with oriental customs than
| the representative of the fiowery kingdom.
Dinner giving, the usual form of Lenten
! hospitality, has begun, and promises to
| keep up actively throughout the next six
| weeks. So many leftover feasts have yet
| TO be given, and SO many newcomers are to
! be honored in this way, that each evening
I for the next three weeks will be busy. The
number of luncheons is also on the increase
some very elaborate ones being on the
| cards for the coming week. 1t will be
strange thing if the private theatrical germ
| does not develop in some form or other for
| Nhi-SdleIle eltneT Tor Cndflty Tor spite,
as the woman said once who couldn't find
beneficiary for her efforts in that direc-
| ton. 1t has already broken out In New
York and in Baltimore, and may shortly be
| expected to be mentioned at any of a dozen
| o'clock tea tables. The usual lecture
| courses and the near approach of the
| weather that will make golf possible for
more women than have had time to give
| 10 II the past two months, will otherwise
! use up any superf1uous energy
| All sorts of large and small entertain
| ments, of more or less informal character,
Will mark inaugural week of which short
notice only is.necessary.
