lier In the dance found that II was no
easy matter to win the hand OF the maid
of his choice.
At a dance given in the Quaker City
early In the season one OF the figures In
the cotillon was called the battle OF
flowers, and 2500O violets were used for
this figure. The modest little flowers
were not the work OF nature, but were so
cleverly constructed that It was next to
impossible to detect the deception. The
dancers carried dainty Louis XVI
baskets, and as the flowers were flung
back and forth in the maze Of the
dance the baskets were filled with them
until each dancer had a basketful OF
sweet smelling violets. and the air was
filled with the perfume.
Gorgeous muffs Of pink chiffon, With
garlands and showers OF white roses for
decorations and pale blue ones with pink
decorations were the favors which ono
hostess designed for her guests In the
cotillon. These favors proved to be so
popular that the following week a rival
hostess demanded the same thing for her
guests. AS Mrs. Collins makes 1t rule
never TO duplicate an order. she set
about devising something which would
take the place of the longed for chiffon
muffs She finally brought out Won
derful silver tissue muff made over
swansdown and decorated with holly
and mstletoe. which proved to be even
more alluring than the chiffon affairs.
The articles Of jewelry which were
popular as favors a few seasons ago soon
lost caste with the fastidious. as they
were merely costly and not decorative

The popular theatre cap. which IL seen
everywhere now. was first designed to be
used as favor. 1t is made OF fall OF

If Police Commissioner Fischer, of
Alexandria, had not been a member of
that body when it revised ringside
weights for candidates for the force, the
beautiful city across the drink might to-
day be without its full quote of patrol
men. But Mr.. Fischer had the age and
weight figures in his mind when the
board met last night, and as a result
W. H. Scott is now a member Of the
Alexandria police force.
1t was a close squeak, however, for
Mr.. Scott. Eleven candidates. two Of
whom were from Washington, answered
the municipal ad. for policemen. The
Washingtonians were held ineligible, be-
cause they did not live in Alexandria,
and Alexandria cannot AFFORD to have her
police force divided against itself. Seven
other eligibles were quickly eliminated
for various reasons. The contest mar
rowed down to Mr.. Scott and H. K. Hem
derson.
The board adjourned to a nearby Rro-
cery store, where the candidates were
weighed. Scott tipped the beam at
1l pounds sl-2 ounces; Henderson
pleaded guilty, to 1S2 pounds The
board shook its head. The rules, said
policemen must weighed 1E pounds they
