There is all the difference in the
world in the way people give a party,
and it always seems that the people who
make the least work of it have the
best results You have been to parties
and have seen the hostess worried and
anxious. greeting her guests with a far
away stare in her eyes as though she
would look through the fast closed
door to see that everything was going
right in the kitchen, and you are re-
minded of the fable of the mountain
giving birth to the mouse. Yes? Well,
then there is the other kind of hostess
who has ever SO many guests, proceeds
with her arrangeme without an ap-
pearance of any conscious effort, and
stands to receive her friends as alert,
smiling and care-free as any of her
callers. That woman-she's used to 1t,
I ito the manner born All Of which
was brought to mind in thinking over
the party Saturday at the Country club
when Mrs. Norman Wear and her
daughter. Miss Marian Wear, received
several hundred guests at one of the
ing the young girls of Miss Wears set,
matrons and elderly women. Mrs.
Wear and her daughter were both
dressed in white and it was frequently
remarked during the afternoon that
they looked more like sisters than
mother and daughter which doesn't
imply in the least that Miss Marian
appears c8s1 er than she really is Mrs
Wears gown was embroidered wolfe,
with silver balls edging the tunic and
he <,~s,,
on the bodice. She carried large
round bouquet of roses and lilies of
the valley. Miss Wears dress was
white crepe, trimmed with Irish lace
and embroidery on the yoke and
sleeves. She carried an arm bouquet
of red roses tied with red ribbon.
On the east porch ices were served
by Miss Clyde Bonebrake, Miss Doro-
thy Porter and Miss Bertha Hull. An
orchestra stationed on the porch
played during the hours of the party.
Autumn leaves were used to decorate
the porch and the rooms as well. The
dining table had for center piece
tall round bank Of yellow and white
chrysanthemums, and grasses were
gathered into bouquets for the differ
ent rooms.
A good showing of new dresses was
out; for tickle October elected to smile
for the party Saturday, so that it was
warm enough for the light party gown
and still cool enough for the new white
suits It is the uncertain time of year,
when it is impossible to guess what
milady will choose to wear. Among
the fall suits was a particularly good
looking one worn by Mrs. H. A Auer-
bach. The skirt and jacket were
trimmed in buttons and made in the
broken lines SO fashionable this year.
Miss Harriet Jetmore, of New York,
who was the guest of her grandmother,
Mrs. A. B. Jetmore, was dressed in
white suit, having a smart and quite
striking trimming of black and white
on the cuffs and collar and around the
bottom of the skirt. Her hat was
black velvet with a wreath Of gold
leaves in the facing. Miss Helen Lou
Use Crosby, who finished Bethany col
lege last year, and who is now looked
upon as one of the seasons debutante
favorites, wore a modish white suit
and with it a black beaver hat with an
extreme droop and trimmed with
| bow across the front. Mrs. T. G. Nc
Clintock, who was one of the assisting
women. wore a white wolfe. eTnbroid-
cred on the skirt and bodice in a blue
conventional design. Mrs. Chauncey
Dewey. of Chicago, who is visiting her
parents, Bishop and Mrs. F. r. Mills
paugh. was one of the guests at the
party and she was gowned in a black
satin suit, with a blouse Of satin and
/ chiffon.
