A ChristmSs Dinner of a purely
social sort rarely includes many of the
hostess relatives. The family dinner
is given before or after6hristmas, and
there is absolutely no reason why an
excuse should be given he kinfolk for
the smarter function.
The affair begins with the sending
of the invitations, and Dlless the func-
tion is to be very grand these had
better be in the form of 9raclous lit
tie notes. Here is about the usual note
written friends or acquaintances at
such times
Dear Mrs. Jackson-Will you and
Mr.. Jackson give us the very great
pleasure of your company for Christ
mas dinner? We dine at 7 p. NJ, and,
If everybody agrees, may have bridge
later on. Sincerely your, etc"

Illness in the family or whatever is

moment after acceptance a guest sends
woVl that he or she will be unable to
appear it is quite allowable to call
upon a friend to fill the vacancy at
table. But in such a case the invita-.
tion should he made through a cordial
note frankly explaining the circum.
stance, and not through a formal
printed card sent at the last moment.
The chief requisites for a successful
dinner party are a carefully selected
group of congenial people and a choice
and well assorted menu Long before
the day set for the affair the hostess
must decide on the dishes, and on the
day before the function do all the
shopping, having such edibles prepare,

TAILORED SUITS.

The skirts of tailored costumes CON
tinue decidedly narrow, although suf-
ticient fullness is allowed to give
ample room for walking. The new
jackets, with slightly cutaway fronts,
extend just to the hips at the sides
and little longer in the back. The
advent of longer jackets, cut half and
three-quarters length, is rumored
from abroad, but for the remainder of
this year, at least, hip-length jackets
are considered the correct length.
Silk velvet is used for facing the
deep collars, wide revers, and cuffs, in
many instances forming simulated pet
ticoat effects at the lower edge of the
skirt The regulation coat sleeve,
trimmed with a three to five inch turn
back cuff, is the rule, the kimono
sleeve being confined to the extremely
dressy type of suit.-Harpers Bazaar,

be instructed to move quietly and
watch the needs of guests, and all that
they can do beforehand they must be
told to do, from preparing the table
lamps to folding the napkins that are
to be used. Before this the house or
apartment is supposed to be set in i'm
maculate order. Christmas greens and
berries hung at the windows the sill
yer and glass and mirrors polished,
and o on. For, however modest the
food if the home is scrupulously neat
and things are served with a certain
sort of Christmas spirit, the function
cannot help but go off with smartness.
On the afternoon of the important
day the hostess oversees the laying Of
the table, putting on the place cards
and souvenirs with her own hands 50

souvenirs for the table more beautiful

little toy trees, hung with bright Der

trifie being in. any shape-round,
square, oval or heart-shaped-bu Its
contents are kept a secret until all are
ready to rise from the table. The maid

boxes tied up gracefully with red rib

something, something small and mex

flavor 1t is not uncommon, however,
for these pretty boxes to hold merely
tiny candles of various sorts.
At the very grand functions given by
wealthy people handsome souvenirs OF
a very costly sort are sometimes laid
across the plate of each guest. These
include corsage boquets and bouton-
