First OF the large holiday functions and
altogether charming in it's details and its
revival OF the old-time holiday spirit, too
frequently lacking in these latter day
Christmas affairs, was the supper given
last evening by Judge woolworth and Mrs.
Guy Howard in honor of Miss Helen How
ard, who returned from her school in YER
mont the middle Of the week. Throughout
the spacious rooms Of the W~oolworth home
on Twenty-second street and st. Mary's
avenue southern smilax, holly wreaths and
Christmas greens were used in effective
profusion. The guests we're received upon
their arrival by Judge Woolworth, and up
stairs they we're greeted by Mrs. Howard
and Miss Howard, and when supper was
announced, after the pretty, old-fashioned
custom, the men escorted the young women
downstairs where the tables were spread,
one in the parlor, another in the library
and a third in the dining room. The forty
guests were all seated. At one table a
small Christmas tree, with its bright ia
pers, formed the centerpiece; in the CEN

and at the other end a candelabra, while
the third had for its center carnations,
surrounded by single silver candlesticks. A
