THE SMART SET

NANCING parties are crowding close
| upon each other, preceding the
penitential season. while the
luncheons and teas are following one
another with delightful regularity The
patronesses' ball, with its attendant
dinners. will be given this evening in
the colonial ballroom at the st. Francis.
The dance of the Friday night club
will be given in Century hall.
The "a patronesses who scored
such brilliant success at their
first dance this season will again greet
their friends at the dance this evening.
The list has been arranged alphabet
cally and the latter group of names that
appear on the roster will be in the re-
ceiving party this evening. Those who
will fill this pleasant Office are:
Mrs. Latham McMullen Mrs. Laurence Scott
Mrs. Augustus Taylor Mrs. Joseph TObm
Mrs. Mountford Wilson Miss Helen Chesebrough
Mrs. George Pope Miss Florence Hopkins
Mrs. Nj Edward Prinsie Mss Genevlsvs King
The Friday night club will give
dance this evening in Century hall. and
the party is a matter of pleasant eX-
pectation among the younger girls and
those who are not absorbed in the at
tractive details of the patronesses' ball.
There will be several dinner parties
as a matter of course preceding the
dance. and among those who will en-
tertain in this informal way is Miss
Justine McClanahan. who will have
dozen or more guests at her home in
Broadway who later will attend the
ball.
The dances have attracted a larger
number of guests than those of last
h asn1, hx,1 fa1 50,
by the fact that the membership is a
trifle larger The dances are extremely
popular with the enthusiastic young
guests. The patronesses who have
charge of the club have taken an ac-
tive interest in every party and are
to be credited with much of the social
success that has been accorded to the
congenial organization. Those who are
patronesses for the club are.
Mrs. James Potter Lang Mrs. Wakefield Baker
horne Mrs George Moore
Mrs George F. Ashton Mrs Louis Monteagic
The Mardi Gras ball that will be
given at Pavilion rink at Sutter and
Pierce streets is topic. by the way. of
great social Importance these days. The
ing fund for the childrens hospital,
and already, a number of boxes have
been disposed of for that occasion.
The affair is under the auspices of
the auxiliary of the children's hospital.
and this fact is a guarantee of it's So
cial success as well as the financial re-
thrn for the effort expended in the
cause of charity. Among those who are
on the entertainment committee for the
evening are:
Mrs. Latham McAIuIlen Mrs. Worthiugton Ames

There are so many jokes that may be
made on this score that one begins to
yawn at the thought of them. but
after the amiable jocosities cease. 1t
may be seen that the idea is not a bad
one
Down from the swashbuckliug age
has come the theory that man, to be
a man, must have a messy disregard
of household details. He must be large
and virue and untidy-or at least IL
he be tidy himself he may atone for
the faults of others by few Kind
words or by caustic comment only
Probably those habits were all right
when serfs cooked whole cows and
sheep at a time and every one threw
the bones quite casually on the floor,
and when the men dared not dress in
anything less durable than leather and
steel
Nowadays no man has much oppor-
tunity to swashbuckle. and he eats
and dresses according to other modes.
Why, then, need he cling to the large
ignorance of other days? Even If a
man have sufficient money to have
servants there are unfortunate inter-
yals OF the nature of a hiatus when
cooks come and go like bad dreams.

under those circumstances if the man
can come in and give a few skillful
finishing touches to the dinner. That
doesn't mean laundering around spill
ing and breaking things and swearing
like a trooper. To some people the
latter course may seem more manly,
but I think their ideas are getting to
be obsolete.
There are certain classes of women
who have no knowledge of cooking. of

who will always be better at polo or

matters. But they are the silver

finances are apt to have the exciting

tinues one of the vital necessities. to
