 MISS Ives lived in one of the so-called swell mansions of London, having inn mense rooms adorned with all extrava- sahce or aesthetic and high art furniture and draping, yet there was no furnace un der the house, and the only way of warm ing her room was by a tiny grate a few lnches across. The utmost her thermoro- eter would achieve with all the coal she could pile upon that infinitesimal srate was 6O degrees, and most of the time if hung fire at 5S.

 Preparations are being made for plac- ing machinery in the immense new Mer- rimack Mill.

But she pulled herself together again and said:

 'If there is one thing I hate" said a friend to me, 'it is the dumb girl or man whom you invite to join a merry little party and then sits there eating your refreshments and enjoying the pleas- ure you have provided without making single effort to entertain. Selfshness or self-consciousness? Oh, well, they're practically the same thing. and there is no need of either of them. One is invited to contribute to the pleasure of the other guests as well as to be amused oneself"
 The other day looked on at a children's s party which was given on the lawn of a pretty country house. The amusement consisted of dancing, lunch and Judy, fancy dances around floral pole and a short open air play composed mainly of tableux. The refreshments were simple little cakes. berries and water ices in forms calculated to attract the childish eye. A novelty was that instead of hand ing the refreshments around they were served quite la grown up on little ta- bles seating from four to six. dare say that by this means quite a number of spots on quite number of small dresses were avoided. for If grown ups finds it ulHcut to balance a tea cup and a plate heaped with miscellaneous dainties tsome of them quite squashy) how much more must the small men and women find it so.

Let the Children Entertain.

While I am on the subject, do you know I think 1t is an excellent idea to encourage children to entertain as much as possible. For one thing, it puts them at their ease and makes their society training later on less difficult There is no necessity of having anything very elaborate. The idea is to teach children the principles of being good hostesses and entertaining their little guests.
 I wish to goodness some of the houses visit had had their hostesses trained in this way from early youth Thir idea of playing lady of the manor seems to con- sist Of providing lot of expensive en- .ertainment and letting the guest settle the rest to suit himself or herself. sncb little thing as inviting only congenial people or leading the conversation into topics of general interest never seems to occur to them. Some are even so busy enjoying themselves that they have little tune left to see how the more timii of their guests are getting along.
