WATCH WORN OVER M1LADY's GLOVE.

WATCH WORN OVER MILADY's GLOVE.
we've all caught the germ, and it only
remained for the man who invented
the puzzle picture of different cOlored
woods to drive us all to padded cells.
Well, / made up my mind that 1t
was time something was doing to turn
the jig saw tide. And I've done" it
sure enough by giving yesterday after
noon a "tangram party" A super
abundance of egotism is not one of
my glazing faults / have been told,
but at this moment I'm really gloating
over my cleverness in reviving the Gu
rious and interesting pastime of daily
ing with tangrams. Is it a new variety
of imported fruit? No, Miss Innocence,
but 1t is the fruit of a Chinaman's
brains, one Tan, who lived awhile ago,
say some 1000 years before we became
inhabitants of this glorious country
And to this oriental ancestor it's de-
scendant, the jig saw, owes much of
its fame. Unlike the present puzzle,
tie tangram consists of only seven
pieces, and these parts are all the
same size. Artistic values are COM
pletely lost sight of in the struggle for
entirety.
The tangram that / set before my
guests was 1.-THE House That Jack
Built" and that the cat was as big as
the cow and the malt as large as the
house that contained it matters nothing
to the architects.
After the tangrams we had tea, and
Elinor poured for me, looking a Rem
brandt study In stunning big black
velvet hat charmingly trimmed with
punches Of silver raisins-nOthing else
and the chicness of the thing beggars
description. You have read of almost
every known variety of fruit, flowers
and birds which have found their way
into the milliners' hands, but l reckon
you didn't know that these artists had
forsaken the garden and the menagerie
fer the realm of the cook. You'll par
don me, but it is such a temptation to
say that the raison d'etre of this is
Paris and that Elinor has just come
from the Vile Luminiere.
Why did she wear hat while pour
ing tea? Simply and solely because
it's the latest accompaniment to the
20 o'clock" 1t was a funny sight
watching the girls dodge that chapeau,
for those wishing cup Of the refresh
ing beverage had to navigate around
this cart wheel first to catch the eye of
the wearer and then stand at a safe
distance when receiving the brew, for
to disarrange that millinery creation,
which had been poised and pinned at
a fascinating anglican operation we
all know takes this season many pre-
ciouS moments-is possible by the
lightest touch against the overshadow-
ing brim. Fortunately there were no
tempests in our teacups. The zap
pTOach" and tackles were splendid
ly DONE But one can imagine that at
crush affair such disasters can be
averted only by the most careful en-
cheering of ones own hat and ell
bows. And be it known that apollo
gies afterward are no reparation for
the catastrophe.
Elizabeth c., who inquired most So
licitOusly after you, was wearing one
of the smartest gowns of the after
noon, an empire CONNECTION of taupe
chiffon cloth that shone like heavy
satin. The embroideries on the skirt
were exquisitely worked in taupe tones
with silks, woods and chenille. Similar
embroideries formed a bolero, and the
waist was confined by a folded band
Of black satin. Her hat was large and
fat, and the crown was entirely of sa-
bic, with an important looking black
osprey standing out at one side. An
other girl from Boston, who came with
Mrs. Van S., thought was carrying a
hand bound book after the manner Of
Bostonian highbrows, who appear with
literary equipments on all and every
occasion, but ! suffered from an OPP
teal delusion, for the lady from the
land of beans was carrying suede
nun, the newest sartorial accessory
this side of France.
And this mun reminds me that at
one Of the prettiest weddings of the
