Of platinum to any great extent. This

The hostesses who made the affair

The complete decorations turned the
beautiful rooms into a vertable fairy
palace. The color scheme was red
and it is enough to say that red was
everywhere and arranged in the most
tasteful manner possible. The idea
was to have a good time and make
every one feel at home. A set OF
amusing rules had been drawn up to
govern the card games, and hearts
was the game
Judge Norcrcss himself was lucky
enough to win the first prize for the
gentlemen and Lucy Davis captured
the first prize for the ladies', E. D.
VANDERBILT won the second gentle

for the ladies' except the BOBBY prize
which fell to Eva McClaskey

THE FLuTED COLUMN.

Why tho Greeks Adopted This Form
In Their Architecture.
The Greeks observed that a smooth
column melted in the light and that its
lines were vague and uncertain, writes
Jean SchoepfeF in the Architectural
Record Magazine In order to restore
its defnlteness they conceived the idea
Of futing it. The sharp ridges of the
hutlngs, catching the light, cOntrasted
with the dark hollows. thus giving
body to the column and emphasizing
the vertical outline Of the edlhce,
whence a double advantage. This dis
covery could never have been made on
paper.
Then, as the abacus of the capital
casts a shadow upon the top OF the
column, the junction of capital and col
umn becomes indistinct To restore the
necessary effect the Greek cuts several
deep lines at the point OF junction, and
to emphasize them he paints them in a
dark tone. Even the curve Of the cir
cular torus carrying the abacus is so
designed that the bright Hight, striking
upon the relief, shall fade into a shaded
half tint toward the hollow. Thus, as
Violet 10 Due truly says, the Greek
preserves even in appearance the forms
which his reason tells him to adopt as
being the best and most enduring.

A FAMOUS PRoBLEM.
n Did Not Take Newton Long TO
Find the Correct solution.

n Did Not Take Newton Long to
Find the Correct Solution.
In NeNytonis time It was often the
custom for illustrious mathematiclans,
when they had discovered a solution
for some new and striking problem, to
publish that problem as a challenge to
the world while Withholding their own
solution. A famous instance Of this is
found In what is known as the Bracliis-
t0chrOne problem, which was solved by
John Bernoullli. The nature OF this
problem may be mentioned. 1t was to
find the shape of the curve along which
q body would slide down from one
point (A) TO another OBJ in the shortest
time. 1t might at first be thought that
the straight line from A to b, as It Is
undoubtedly the shortest distance be-
tween the points, would also be the
path OF quickest descent, but this is
not so.
There is a curved line down which a
bead, let us say, would run on, a
smooth wire from A to Is I'M a shorter
time than the same bead would re-
qulre to run down the straight wire.
BernouillPs problem was to find out
what that curve must be.
Newton solved 1t correctly. he
showed that the curve was a part of
what is termed n cyclold-that Is to
say. curve like that which is de
scrlbed by a nail on the rim of a car
riage wheel as the wheel runs along the
ground. Such was Newton's geomet-
rical insight that he was able to trans
init a solution OF the problem on the
day. after he had received 1t to the
president Of the Royal society.
