Mr.. and Mrs. Reginald De koven's
dance Friday night at Newport. r..

taking the lead thus far in New
ports anime diversions, and it stands
out in bold relief in a season when
dancing has been of quite a secondary
consideration.
The guests We're asked to supper.
which was arranged with the same
amount of care as a dinner, all being
placed, but there was at the same time.
less formality. Berger's entire estab-
lfshment was used, supper being serv1di
In the smaller restaurant, whose wall.
were entirely covered with natural fol-
iage i~nterspersed With clusters of white
flowers, through which twinkled many
electric lamps covered with colored
shades. A touch of color was also
given oy the table decorations of pink
roses. During supper u mandolin bang
of twenty-four musicians played.
The larger dining room was arranged
for the cotillon. Japanese asparagus
and clematis blossoms. With which the
walls We're hung, produced a most
graceful effect.
Mrs. De Koven and her daughter.
Miss Ethel lie Roy De Noven, received
the guests in the yellow room. The
hostess wore a superb Worth gown of
white satin and brocade inset with
Venetian point.
Miss De Koven's gown, copied from,
a Uattier portrait, was most artistic.
The skirt, of white taffeta, was adorned
with wreaths of pink roses, the bodice
OF pale blue u silver being garnitured
IN a similar fashion.
Supper was served Immediately after

Mr.. Reginald De Koven and Mr..
Henry S. Lehr led the c%otillon. i'm which
many attractive figures We're intro
huced quite different from the conven-
eional and p%erfunctory figures that are
generally danced.
AS nearly all the favors were floral,
the dance when at its height almost
suggested a battle Of flowers. There
were floral wands, hoops wound with
ribbons and flowers, clusters OF blue
and pink hydrangeas tied with ribbons
to correspond, garlands of roses. gay
colored parasols covered with ribbons
and flowers, flower pincushions and
pretty algrettes among the ~favors. and
A Maypole figure was introduced.
The last figure of the cotillon was
most effective. 1t was called the
witches cauldror, and was devised by
Mr.. De koven some years ago at a
e~otillon he led in France. A huge caul-
Iron was placed in the middle of the
ballroom floor, all the lamps being

With clusters of fresh roses, which We're

SPIDER LIFTS 4 SNAKE.
From The Youths Companion.

AlOltt lllS J Oakii . companion.
DR.. Phin describes. among other
Strange things, how a spider contrived
to lift from the ground a snake that
was, of course, many times heavier
than itself. The story is of interest
chiefly for the scientific explanation
which is given Of the way in which the
hing was done.
Some years ago in a small village In
New York state a spider entangled a
milk snake in her threads and actually
-aised it some distance from the
ground, in spite OF the struggles of the
reptile, which was alive.
BY what process of engineering did
The comparatively small and feeble in
sect succeed in lifting the snake bv
mechanical means? The solution is
tasy enough If one only gives the cues
ton a little thought.
The spider is furnished with one of
the most efficient mechanical imple-
ments known to engineers, namely. a
.trong elastic thread. There are few
substances that will support a greater
strain than the silk of the spider. Care-
full experiment has shown that for
equal sizes the strength of these ibers
exceeds that of ommon iron; but
Notwithstanding its strength the spt-
1er's thread would be useless as q me
chanical power II 1t We're not for 1.s
elasticity.
The spider has no blocks or pu,ieys,
and therefore cannot cause the thread
