SIDE DANCE
ENJOYED BY MANY.

There was a fairly good attendance at
the first annual reception and dance for
the benefit of the East Side Day Nursery,
given by the board of managers of that
institution in Harburger's Hall, Hamburg
place, last night. A varied Program was
rendered. including monologues by Mart
King, solos by George Offerman and Ed
ward Weston, Of New York, who sans at
the park concerts last summer, and piano
selections by Harry Pruden. Fancy dances
were executed by Miss Margaret Sweeny.
Carl Major acted as floor manager.
C. Albert Gasser made a short address
of welcome, In which he talked of the
nursery, saying that 1t had reached a
and that every effort must be made to add
to its prosperity.
The committee in charge included Mrs.
John Howe, Mrs. C. Albert Gasser, Mrs.
Edward Schroeder, president of the board
of managers and Miss Clara M. Freund.
The object of the affair last night was to
clear the expenses incurred during the
year. The affair was not patronlzed as It
should have been, but, nevertheless, those
who did attend went home feeling that the
evening was well spent.
The committee in charge of the nursery
has plans for next year which they think
Will prove more profitable than the dance
last night. The expense of the nursery is
SO a day. Their scheme is to secure dona-
tons of SO. and the donors have the privi-
lege of naming any day that they may
want set aside for them. Over a hundred
days have been taken already, and the
committee hopes to have the 366 days
taken by the middle of next month. Sew
eral days nave been taken by the local
public schools.

DAINTY NECKWEAR
FOR HOLIDAY GIFTS

IT is only natural to expect some new
novelties in neckwear about this season OF
the year when we make our Christmas
purchases. not only in presents, but in
dainty wearing apparel.
Pretty jabots are made of null, with
white net r~osettes or net %ruffles; scarfs of
crepe in different shades are becomingly
trimmed with bands or bows of liberty
silk: lace and embroidery IN a comblna-
ton collar and cuff set is dainty.
Many of the small bows are formed of
chiffon and net, plainly demonstrating the
fact that net shows its popularity even
in this small degree.
Hand beaded stocks may be purchased
In cheap or very expensive kinds. Some
are very clever in workmanship and are
very expensive as a result.
Boas have taken decided liberties this
season. and one boa alone may be a com
bination Il fluffy things useful and pretty
in its formation.
A neat style is seen in tastefully ar
ranged marabout, ostrich plumes and
coque feathers. Imitation Irish lace is ex-
tremely popular and some of the collar
and cuff sets are Of such delicate pattern
that it is almost impossible to detect the
difference.

Another Mem Type.

She is entirely too foxy, like the girl
who insinuates all sorts of things about
your friends. who makes her meaning
very clear to you, but whom you could
not quote to save her life.
A shrug of the shoulder and a ques-
tioning lift of the eyebrows can express
more than a twenty-mlnute monologue,
especially when accompanied by a
funny little smile which says, as plain
as day. Shes a nice girl, but"
Scheming "catty',. girls are to be
found in every circle. and 1t is lucky for
their peace of mind that they do MOI
realize how hated they are. They are
usually quite satisfied with themselves
and are never so happy as when they
are sticking pins into their friends.
There is little use in trying to make
them awaken to their faults. The veil
of their complacency is too thick. The
best thing to do is to just keep your
distance.
And il any of your friends throw
hints regarding gifts in your direction
stir up your independence and give
them nothing. 1t will serve them right.

Bishop Doane, of Albany, when engaged

"She will never be the success her
mother was as a hostess. She is too
much absorbed in herself to consider
other people," a society man in the
prime of life said of a girl who made
her entrance into the smart social set
a year or so ago; land everybody re-
members what her mothers receptions
and dinners were.' he added. ITS
strange there can be such a difference
in parent and child
1t is hardly the difference between
this girl and her mother as it is the
difference of conditions that surrounded
them both as debutantes. And as
these conditions change it is only a
natural consequence that people
change, too.
The mans remark led up to the dis
cussion of what goes to make a girl
successful as a hostess.
AS hostess, the daughter of the
house, whether officiating in the abb
sense of her mother or assisting her
in the exercise of hospitality, should
be courteous n cordial. Nobody ex-
poets a young girl to take a leading
share in conversation. 1t is quite
enough If she holds her own ~agreeably
and, above all, pay attention to what
others arc saying.
Few more graceful arts can be imag-
ined than the girl hostess pouring tea.
Here, surrounded by her girl friends,
in the ordinary course of conversation,
she shows her freedom from awkward
ness and lapses into unaffected speech
and manner
The girl who can forget herself, who
a put self-consciousness in the back
gound, need never be troubled about
her success as an entertainer.
The girl hostess can pleasantly en-
terrain at an informal luncheon. This
may be served at a round or a square
table in the dining room or at small
tables in the drawing room. The per-
lection of a luncheon does not mean
that there must be a great many
dishes or a number of courses. Aside
from what the food should be, a great
deal depends on the service. If she
aims TO be a successful hostess she will
see that the plates are quietly and
swiftly changed, are hot or cold as re-
quired, that the food is appetizing and
that the whole affair is harmonious.
The girl who endeavors to make a
serious business of playing hostess in
her fathers house will shine to great
advantage when she takes her place
as queen of her husbands household.

4 BOOK PLATE FOR
A LITERARY FRIEND

If some literary friend is too busy or
too ill-paid to indulge in an engraved book
plate why not design her one and present
1t to her? Such a personal thing 1t might
be well to ask her about, for she would
not wish to refuse to adopt 1t, and may
have been for a long time planning what
she will have in her books when her writ
ings sell and her library is housed Ia a
secure home.
Book plates are engraved and pasted in
the inner side of the front cover. A less
expensive way nowadays is to design one
in fine pen and ink work and then repro
duce 1t by means of photographs. Leave
plenty of good white margin.
II the name be May, choose the blossom
of the month which In some states would
be the wild azalea. in others the hawthorn
of the trailing arbutus. The present Prin-
cess of Wales has the English may bios

named Rose or Rosamund would use the

Chansing TINT. Of Autumn FoIl.r..

The comInon idea regarding autumn col

when Is caused, by the action of light
on iron. With leaves it is due to the fact
that In fulfilling their mission they be-
come choked by their own excretions, and

land, for example. And In very dry eli
mates the leaves dry up suddenly, ana
their skin. which is very thick to prevent
the escape of moisture, is not sufficiently
transparent to allow of the color being
seen beneath. In the regions where the
autumn foliage Is most vivid we find that
an average season produces the finest col
ors. Neither a very dry nor very wet
summer and early autumn will result in
much brilliancy.

Make a pair Of mittens or gloves Of old
Turkish toweling large enough to u on

Put a button-hole and button at the
wrist so they will not come off easily.
When ready for the bath put the gloves
on and use In place of a washcIoth or

The bath can be taken in half the time
when both hands are used in going over
the body and with much more comfort.

so many gifts. After Christmas has
passed she spends two or three days in

friends, who, as a rule, listen passive
~. knowing full well how she got them,
but hardly caring to say so.

so many friends" she will sigh, but
then I gave a great many presents, too;
just about as many as I received" to
which you feel like shouting, "Of
course you did! And vol took great
care to let everyone know that you in
tended to remember them, and that you
expected something in return"
But you never express your mind.
There would be no use. She would
only meet your remarks with the most
innocent kind of a stare, asking o in
a grieved tone to please explain your
self, and you know you could not. Al
least you could not give an explanation
that would satisfy her.
