GARMENTS OF REINDEER WOOL.

From their herds of reindeer the Lap

Mime. Emma Calve has lost something
more Ia this country than the seven ap-
pearances that Manager Conried With
drew from her contract because she
wouldn't sing The Marriage OF Figaro.
She has lost a tooth because she went
TO the wrong dentist and would not be
patient while she was in the chair.
Recently she had a toothache. 1t
might readily have been cured, and the
dentist to whom she went told her So
But she would not consent for a While
even TO submit TO treatment.
Are you certain it won't hurt very
n2uch:" she asked before she could be
persuaded to get into the chair.
The dentist told her that it would no'

and opened her mouth. Then she sud
denly closed it and sat up in the chair.

BUSINESS MEETING AT WoMAN'S
CIER.


A business meeting of the Woman's
Club was held yesterday morning at
the clubrooms. Miss Reid, the acting
president, presided. The attendance
was unusually large, and although the
morning was given up almost entirely
to the transaction of routine business
it was interesting and pleasant. There
was considerable enthusiasm over the
reports of the chairmen of the stand
ing committees and of the officers, all
showing the club to be in excellent
condition. The report of the treasurer
Mrs. John NJ. Bryan was especially
gratifying, as was that of the chair
man of the executive committee, Mrs.
T. NJ. Cunningham.
A very important action of the meet
ing was the amending of an article
of the bylaws providing for the nomi-
nation of officers from the floor. I'm
der the amendment, which was carried
after some amicable discussion for and
against, officers will hereafter be nomi-
mated by a nominating committee, to
be appointed by acting president, Miss
Reid.
A unanimous motion of regret at the
resignation of the president, Miss Nor
gan, and of sympathy for her con-
tinued ill-health, was offered, and
committee was appointed to draft reso-
lutions to that effect.
The gift of a pretty fern was made
to the club by Mrs. Raymond M. Dem
ere.
The next business meeting will be
held early in January, when the an
nual election of officers will take place.
There will be a meeting of the Cur
rent Events Department Tuesday
week, and the current events commit
tee will meet at the clubrooms to-mor-
row morning.

Interesting Days just Past, and
Schedule of Coming Events.

Interesting Days just Past, and
Schedule of Coming Events.
The much talked-of prospect of a
gay winter is early being realized. the
first fortnight of the season having
been an unusually full one for socie-
ty. Several large card parties, one
large dance the first cotillon, the in
PRODUCTION of a number of debutan tes,
the announcement of engagements,
and many informal parties. have pre-
coded the first of December and have
kept society people interested and
much occupied. Gayety seldom be-
gins with such a rush and seldom so
early, and since Easter does not
come until April %, the latest day
upon which it can fall, the signs seem
to augur an eventful season, even
with the probable lack of post-Len-
tent entertainments.
The cotillion given by Mr.. and Mrs.
James H. Hunter Thursday evening TO
introduce Miss Julia Hunter made
last week notable, and was an elab-
crate and very beautiful entertain
ment. The cotillion was led by Mr..
Harris G. Cope, with Hiss Hunters
guest, Miss Ethel Gay of Atlanta, one
of this seasons debutantes. Miss An
ma Hunter and Miss Cecilia Woods,
also debutantes of the season, assist
ed in receiving. Another debutante
made her first appearance in society at
this dance, Miss Edith Thiot Among
the visitors presents were Miss Hayes
Of Philadelphia. Miss Duckworth of
Liverpool, Miss Moss of Boston, Miss
Seymour of Richmond. Capt. and Mrs.
G. B. Pritchard, Jr., and Count Ogen-
Zio.
Mr.. Gordon Harrison led the first
cotillion of the Cotillion Club at the
Guards Hall Tuesday evening The
entertainment was rather slimly at
tended, a very small number of girls
being present. The debutantes were
Miss Mary Conner, Miss Cecilia Woods,
Miss Julia Hunter, Miss Anna Hunter,
and Miss Nellie Halle, and the visit
ors, Miss Gay, Miss Seymour, Miss
Duckworth. Miss Brown of Louisville,
and Judge Speer. The chaperons pres
ent were Mrs. Dent, Mrs Minis, Mrs.
Miss Margaret Charlton will be intro
duced at the Christmas german, Dec.

During the week a number of in
formal card parties and teas were CIV
en- for the visitors. Miss Julia Hunter
entertained with cards for Miss Gay;
Mrs. Henry Walthour for Mrs. G.. B.
Pritchard, Jr., and Miss Duckworth
Mrs. Howkins for Miss Moss: Miss
