Often newspapers are complained
of because they do not publish arti-
cles vilifying and abusing people for
alleged sins of omission and commits
sion. Some folks consider that the
end and aim OF a paper should be to
stir up strife, and in every issue to
always be seeking controversies.
Nine times out of ten, however, the
man who complains OF. the news
paper does not help to support il,
and has no use for it except TO have
il tight his battles and attack his
opponents. The following incident
illustrates the character we have in
mind and every newspaper man has
had experience with him:
Recently, a certain editor was
asked 10 publish an article roasting
a citizen. Certainly" said We
editor, what shall | say - He
was furnished with an outline of
what was wanted, and wrote an
article that was a scorcber. That s

lightedly when the article was read
to him. That's right: that II make
his old hair crinklel" 'All right, :"
said the editor, ''let me see, what
are your initials ?" Great Scott, T"
said the citizen, ''you are not going

cannot afford to get into scrap
with my neighbor. The editor
smiled benevolently and said :
Why should | mix up in a scrap
that does not concern me? Why
should You expect me to assume the
blame for the publication of an
article to which you are afraid to
sign your name ~
The newspaper business is much
the same as other businesses. and
curious though it'may seem tomany,
there are editors who take pride in
publishing reputable, truthful and
hightoned papers and who recognize
the fact that an extensive volcabu-
larry Of abuse is no more an evidence
OF brains than a paper collar is of a
shirt.

young girls appear to think that they are
not being entertaining unless they keep up
this continual rapid conversation: but
the dears were never more mistaken in their
lives. If she smiles and listens and Occa-
sionally puts in pleasant word or two,
that's al We expect and We'll think enough
sight better of her than if she talks like the
mischief
And another thing-tell the buds not to
continually harp on the topic of how scared
they are at their first formal functions BY
the time seven girls have said virtually the
same thing to you in the course of one even
ins'S ball you are ready to seek the society
of Miss HasBeen, in decided preference to
that of Miss Just-Out. This gets to be an
awful nuisance. L hear that one bud this sea-
really did faint dead away the night she
dressed and ready for her first ball
said faint being the result of pure and SIM
pie fright. but, as a matter of cold fact,
the buds are as self-possessed as any of
their elders. and this talk of being scared is
pure and simple affectation.
Lastly, tell them to be more careful on
the dancing floor and learn to manage their
trains better. There have been some bad
falls lately. all in the debutante class, too.
One girl at Mahler's last week knocked over
some of the greenery at one end Of the ball
room and made terrible mess and COM
motion: and two rounds later she fell prone
TO the floor. This sort of awkwardness can
easily he avoided with little care and more
training in the management of her founces.

en- ever dance with all those ruffies-that's
it. isn't it?-fopping round their feet any
way.

Speaking of things sartorial have you
seen that chic little 'slicker" worn by Maud
Niedringhaus in rainy weather? 1t Is. be-
yond a doubt the most attractive affair
that answers to the name of ''mackintosh"
which l have ever beheld.
The material is rubber-cloth. in a cream
shade. and left with the rubbery side out.
The garment is cut long, but not within a
foot and a half of her skirt hem. and held
together at the back with black velvet
belt. The front is double-breasted, while a
tailored collar and turn-back cuffs of velvet
add the finishing touches. With this coat a
SMALL close-fitting black hat and a trig-look-

luscious red cherries on the handle, Miss
Niedringhaus is most attractive to meet on

no Western tour; but we have not forgotten
George Sirnmons's herculean and wholly
successful efforts winter before last. when
he sang a bass solo in Part and a tenor
ballad in Part 2 owing to sudden ird;.zpo-
sition of two of the song birds that were
billed to warbe.
Mr.. Simmons Versatility that night forced
him to take the entire Western trip with
the club. and he went to the Pacific with
them, still singing bass and tenor / be-
lieve. For these creditable efforts the club
rewarded him with the lnanagership for
the next two seasons, and he will have
charge, naturally, of the coming concert,
which is always highly social as well as
spiritedly musical.
The club arrives on Sunday December g,
!, and much will be done for the singers in a
festive manner. In the morning they will
be the guests of President Francis of the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition, going over
the Worlds Fair site in private cars and
carriages. and afterwards entertained at
luncheon. The Francis boys have all been
Yale men, and are consequently, greatly in
terested in plans to give the glee club
pleasure. James w. Reynolds of ST. Louis,
is leader this year. another point which
brings the club in closer touch with the
townspeople.
Monday morning will witness a unique
, morning cotillon given in the handsome big
ballroom of Mrs George Kimbalps new
home in Washington Terrace, next to the
Corwin Spencer house Mrs. KimbaIrs
grandson is George Conant of St. Louis, al
so a glee club member. Only girls will be
invited to this dance, with the possible ex-
ception of one or two Yale undergraduates
who may be home for the holidays. The
guests of honor will. of course, be the giee
clubmen. Dancing will be enjoyed only for
one hour and the number of couples will not
exceed fifty.
Mrs. Edward c. Simmonss card has been
sent out with that of Mrs. Kimbalrs in the
invitations, and Mrs. Simmons, who is al
ways interested in Yale. where her three
sons. Wallace. Edward H. and George. have
BEEN graduated will assist in matronizing
the affair. A luncheon-bu3et styles to
follow the dancing. after which everybody
will make few repairs and go on to the

The Dyer-Gregg Russian musicale on
Wednesday afternoon at the Odeon brought
out several new and decidedly stunning
toilets. 1 saw Mrs. Norris B. Gregg with
out her hat, assisting in the reception that
preceded Mrs. Choate's music, wearing a
Princess gown of black velvet, the bodice
ornamented about the neck with inserts OF
Irish crochets.
Mrs. Will Gregg wore charming costume
of palest turquoise crepe. the entire gown
put together with quantities OF faggothng
in white; and the sleeve folds, which
dropped softly from the elbow. in semi-an-
gel effect. being quite the most graceful
that have noticed.

peared in pale blue gown. large feathered

Mrs. Bagnell and Mrs. Babbit. who both
wore gowns of individuality and elegance.
The bride, Mrs. Horace Rumsey, evinced
a fondness for red, wearing dull ecru voile,
the bloused bodice having pointed insertions
of red, with cream lace, and her hat of
dark red chiffon. trimmed in red velvet
flowers. AS I saw Mrs. Rumsey night
later at the D. o. c. ball in fetching

vivid shade is her favorite for trousseau
purposes at least

Yes, quite proper. provided by some
months you mean that close friendship
has been established between them for six
or eight or twelve months.
= Anything that you care to select. provided
= that it is not clothing. Books articles for

would like it-there is no limit almost
The young man, if he is gentleman, will
not refuse any oil these. He has the right
to refuse very expensive articles of jeweIry.
Indeed | strongly advise against the pur-
chase of expensive gifts of any kind for
men friends. You can give him gold watches
and, diamond stick pins If you intend to
marry him, and he has asked you; but
don't, 1 beg of you, make such gifts under
any other circumstances.
Nothing embarasses a right-minded man
so much as to receive n costly present from
one OF his women friends. He will think
far more of you If you send him a modest
leather card-case, or small silver stamp
box.
From now until after New Years we may
expect the coIlegian to take possession and
to hold the town, socially speaking. Al
ready dances innumerable are being planned
and the cards hurried out. Afternoon teas,
that form of pleasantly in which the COL

lights will flourish without number; and as
for the plays among which note the peren-
nial "F1orodora'' gay youth, just back from
school, will swarm the house every night
Christmas and the holidays are given over
to this younger set each year. and Pm sure
that we all rejoice thereat and do every
thing that We can to give the college boys
and girls a rousing welcome and cork
