Women in the Hunting Field

Some generations ago there was
strong prejudice against women riding
to hounds at all. The appearance of
habit in the hunting field at one time.
says Black and White, would have
caused almost as much sensation as an
up to date suffragette In the ballot
box today. Addison loathed the idea of
"Diana pacing to the meet" and
Thomson, the poet. earnestly besought
the British fair to remain unsullied
by such horrid joy" which in his
view made them ''roughen to the sense.
and all the winning softness Iose.' Yet
the day has long since passed when IL
was really considered outre for a.
woman to hunt.

Feminine "Terrors'

The twentieth century woman brings
unrest, at least SO says the Gentle
woman" Her expression is usually a
worried one. She is careful and
troubled about many things - the
things that do not count. Her voice
is loud and strident. Repose is re-
moved far from her.
Yet repose-not that cowlike rumi-
mating repose which is so irritating.
but the repose which comes from the
peace of mind dearer than alp
should characterize all women. Was
it not Byron who said that one of the
chief secrets of feminine charm was
animation?
He was right, but he did not mean
the loud voiced. hysterical, affected
inanities which pass for animation
nowadays.

The evening affair, of great social
Importance to the younger set, was the
dancing party for Miss Marie Bullard,
when the charming daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Edward d. Bullard made her
formal curtsy to society.
While it was expected that the party
would be given by Mr.. and Mrs. Bullard
as matter of course, it was the sur
prise of the occasion that they shared
the affair by celebrating their silver
wedding anniversary. The first inti-
nation of the silver anniversary was
given in the decorations for the dance
at Century hall. The auditorium was
adorned with gariands OF green inter
twined with silver tinsel and the silver
entered into every detail of the scheme
and was most e.1ective.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bullard held a recep-
tion on their own account in the early
hours OF the evening, standing under
canopy of greens and silver. while Mrs.

a singular and pleasing feature of the
affair for the hostess that two OF the
bridesmaids who attended her wedding
% years ago in Philadelphia were pres
ent last evening to assist in receiving
her guests.
Those who assisted in the pleasant
office last evening were Mrs. ]. L. Nc
Farland and her sister. Mrs. Fred Tut
tie, OF Berkeley.
The debutante of the occasion, Miss
Marie Bullard. wore a gown of white
crepe de chine embellished with silver
trimming. Among the younger people
who attended the dancing party were:

tanned extensively and the parties in
their honor continue to interest the

dates of the month has been reserved
by Miss Kathleen Farrell for the lunch
