MISS HARRIET FORBES
 A TEA HOSTESS

While Miss Leonora Messengers S party was in progress yesterday after noon farther up the avenue a younger coterie of girls and boys had a merry meeting over the teacups at the Brooks Forbes residence, where Miss Harriet Forbes was a hostess. She had sent out 150 cards for her tea and in addition to an exceptionally large number of girls great many boys joined the company during the final tea hours.
 It was decidedly a party for school girls and boys, for not even the hostess mother, who Is very youthful and very pretty, too, made her appearance. A few young girls assisted Miss liar riet Forbes to entertain her callers, Miss Virginia Ford and Miss Emily Will Hams serving punch in the sun parlor, where the colors and the draperies sug- gest a bright summer day, and Miss Mary Elizabeth Caldwell pouring choc-

 Aren't you afraid to exchange your gifts?" I asked her curiously. Sup pose some one who gave you pres ent were to ask you some day why you didn't use it or wear it? What would you do?'
 "Oh, there are many ways of evad- ing" she answered glibly, and what are you to do when you get dozens of silk stockings and handkerchiefs and eloves-all the same kind practically when you need a lot of other things and can exchange them easily?
 "Of course you can do such things" replied "but is it right? Is 1t appre- ciative?'
 "Oh, don't be tiresome, Dolly" she de- manded. Its done in the best circles, all the time. Only one thing worries me and that is when I receive piece of silver that is marked there is noth- ing doing in the exchange line. l asked a clerk in a certain shop about it and he said:

Could you insert little notice in your Helping Hand Corner and his wish may be gratified. D. M. C."
 As our esteemed colleague says, the letter she forwarded will tell it's own story. The reader will recolIect, while perusing it, that it was not intended for other eyes than those of her to whom it was addressed. It is frank and manly, and gives us a glimpse of con- ditions it may be well for each of us to ponder gravely and compassion ately:
 q am in the almshouse, so badly crip- pied that I am incapacitated for any work that would bring me living. There are four of us here who are practically young men, and about 40 who are older. We have nothing to oc- cupy our thoughts or employ our time, and, of course. it passes slowly. I had heard that a great many people in the city who owned monographs had tired of them; that there were many that were never used, and I thought that possibly through the Helping Hand Corner, might find some kind heart ed person who would be willing to present an old one to us. It surely would be greatly appreciated here! Most of the inmates never even heard one. I make no moan as to the condition in which I find myself. Of course l cannot expect to have anything more than the barest necessaries of life pro vided by the authorities. That Is in evitable Nevertheless, we long for some respite from the gray monotony Of chronic inva1idsm and pauperism. It is a ghastly combination for one who has not passed the meridian of life. For give the outbreak. I am most grate- full for the interest manifested by your self in Us. WILLIAM IL, D.
 It would be glorious break in the leaden sky that broods over the "ghast- lv combination if a phonograph and records wore sent as a Christmas gift to the prematurely old man for the use of himself and comrades in afflic- ton. At least let him have books and other means of alleviation of lonely musings.
 Have any of us thought what It must signify to a man like the writer of that letter to say deliberately; T am in the almshouse?
