evening fell little short of being a crush
although It was none the less enjoyable
for that In spite OF the cool wind the
crowd began gathering before the after
noon was half gone and the veranda was
well filled to watch the close of the tennis
game. So numerous were orders for dinner
that the committee was compelled to re-
quest members 10 refrain from inviting
guests and no orders were received after
the first OF the week. This had the effect

The opening of the clubs is hailed with
genuine satisfaction by those who feel the
tax of social reciprocity. in affording relief
from that most vexing of trials-the help
problem. The mid-week luncheon or the
table dhote dinner make possible an alto
gether enjoyable occasion for hostess and
guests alike and promise to be more numer-
Gus this season than they were last. Every
other woman one meets nowadays has
genuine grief to relate regarding her maid
or her cook, and one of the biggest things
planned for the spring has been given up
altogether because the hostess is unable to
set competent help.

30 large a part did the opening Of the
Field club. both in anticipation and realiza-
alton, have in the social life OF last week
that that event alone saved the week from
classification with several others that have
been without a redeeming feature to make
worthy OF remembering. 1t was the only
function of particular consequence, al
though a few more clubs, social or culture,
celebrated their finale with luncheons,
dinners or cards, and few given-in-honor
affairs and a wedding or two contributed
something for those who were Immediately
interested. In the MAN. society, regardless
of clique or set. has devoted itself to

How Gloves Nay BE Cleaned.

To clean gloves rub, with very slight
ly damp breadcrumbs. If not effectual,
scrape upon them dry French chalk
when on the hands and rub them
quickly together In all directions. Do
this several times. Or put gloves of a
light color on the hands and wash the
hands in basin of spirits of hartshorn.
Some gloves may be washed In a
strong lather made of soft soap and
warm water or milk, or wash with rice
pulp, or sponge them well with turpen-
tine and hang them In a warm place
or where there is current of air. and
all smell of turpentine will be removed.
