thing Ten couple the other night revived
memories OF long ago by taking huge

and driving TO a country club, where an
oyster supper was served. with little
informal dance afterward; just enough
10 take the kinks out before the ride
home.
Young people giving these slelshing par
ties usually meet at one house and then
return, after n couple OF hours, for a hot
spread. the sled returning to distribute all
chapcrons are provided and the boys
have horns and the horses all have strings
of bells, TO help the party make merry.
So many letters have asked for refresh

Anna Gould Happy.
Americans returning from Paris this

and her husband are living happily to-
gether-the Princess annual income
being onehalf of million dollars. But
there is always the shadow of debts
contracted by her first husband, Count
Boni De Castcllane and at the present
rate of supply and demand it will not
be until the year 1919 that all of Boni S
debts are wiped out. The Princess, and
of course every one knows she was once
Anna Gould, was burdened with s., 1l4,-
$50 of her first husband s debts when
she married Prince De Sagan. Despite
this tremendous sum Prince De Sagan
pressed his suit with true French ar.

| from the Gould estate at this time is
S500,000. Out of this requires about

they can really do no better. This
