The New York horse show. which is annually so brilliant an event of Ameri- can society, is noted in all of the fashion able journals of the month. Town and Country has this story of society wom- en, which will be read with apprecla- tion by those who have been part of the throng witnessing the show in oth- CT years:
 Mrs. Robert Goelet was present stop ping now and then on the promenade to talk to groups of friends, some won derful jade earrings and jade neck lace bringing out the color in her face. In party representative of the people seen at the Long Island events this fall were Mrs. Ambrose Clark, Mrs. Edward H. Carle and Miss Marion Rollins. Aside from admiring interest in Mrs. Alfred q. Vanderbilt, who was so graceful and vivacious in entertaining all the foreign officers in uniform who stood as though in gallant guard around her box, there was desire to see the debut antes. Mrs. Frederick Edey had taken her daughter and her niece to the foot ball game, but this important debut ante box had Miss Aubrey Osborn as the .hostess. Miss Miriam Hartman, MT. Joseph Wright Harriman's daugh- ter. is still a schoolgirl, but her velvet toque with it's high aigrette gave her quite the dignity of a debutante, and as in years preceding--the tallest of the foreign officers stood on the steps be- Side her putting her social and lin- guistic talents to a great test With her were Miss Le Brun Parsons and Miss Elsie Stevens, both of whom will be presented next year. With Mrs. E. N. Breitung were Mrs. John Fox, Jr, Miss Lota Robinson and her debutante daughter, Miss Juliette Breitung, one of this years girls who are graduates of Mrs. Finchis school.
 The evening session was certainly a

brilliant occasion so far as color was concerned, for the foreign officers with their scarlet and blue uniforms, their kniclSerbockers tucked into high patent leather boots stepped about proudly on high heels, one or two giant soldiers having headgear higher than the shakos of Squadron A. The New York
 girls in general wore their big black
 hats with dark costumes. sinuous in line, with fur stoles around their shoulders, but some of the women were in opera cloaks of snappy colors and wore coiffure ornaments and tulle bows instead of hats. Mrs. Stowe Phelps, the former Edith Catlin and sister of Mrs. Depew of Paris, wore a low even
 ing gown and no hat, as though dressed
 for the opera, according to horse show

 south like Atlanta. Miss Elise Ladew
 and Miss Hilda Holmes side by side; Mrs. Joseph Laroeque, Miss Caroline
 Duers sister in ruby-red velvet with
 "a plumed hat; Mrs. Joseph w. Harri-
 man, in a modest combination of black and white, were dressed according to
 the old rules for the horse show Miss
 Katherine Ell<ins, who was in Judge
 William H. Moores box, was so quietly dressed in a dark suit and hat with furs, that for once she escaped the pub lie eye by which she has often been annoyed. Mrs. Lewisohn, the former
 Rhoda Seligman, wore a cloak of or |ange colored velvet and a cap of black
 tulle with tulle wings pointing back

 Mrs. A. D. Meadow, whose travels
 each season have been shared with parties of congenial followers, is ar ranging the itinerary of a trip which promises to be one of a bright eXperi- ence of the winter for party of her tourist friends. She will take her
 party to Panama, including Florida and
 Cuba and the Island of Jamaica in the list of places to be visited before reaching Panama. They will leave Bir-
 mingham February l. Mrs. Meadow is especially enthusiastic over her plan for the Jamaica trip. She says:
 The approach to Jamaica is an eX- perience never to be forgotten by the

Seeks Missing Husband

Would some one advise me how could obtain small glass hatchet which was a souvenir of Louisville, Ky? I was at a friends house last Sunday and was so unfortunate as to break the souviner hatchct before mentioned. l promised. to get another for it, and this is the chan mel through which I shall try to do this. as we were both awfully hurt over it. If any one will be so kind as to let me know at once it will be gratefully appre- ciated. MRS. $. w"

Church of the Advent-for they are all de- l vout little Episcopalians-enterta | which are as clever as can be. l The story is as familiar as any of which 1 child life has any knowledge. There are
 four acts incorporated in the drama. The first presents a scene in the village square l in which the town crier enters to tell the villagers of the bad Robber Wolf. The
 sheriff and his hunting party follow, and
 the spectacle is quite imposing. l The second act shows Red Riding
 Hoods home. her mother and her little
 playmate, Anthony. Riding Hood is de- picted setting forth to visit her grand mother. Third is a woodland scene in which the wolf comes upon Red Riding Hood chasing butterflies, and by his flat tery keeps her there until a wedding party
 arrives and Red Riding Hood stays to watch the dance. In the fourth, the ar
 rival of the wolf at the grandmother's
 home, with the dramatic incidents asso- ciated, the arrival of hunters and vii- lagers, and the final end of the history
 of the robber wolf. make most attrac- tive and thrilling drama for children. The cast will include the following clever little people:
 Red Riding Hood, Katherine Lynch. Her mother. Azita Latady. Her grandmother, Leila Cole. Anthony, her playmate, Roberta Con-
 nelley The Robber Wolf Florence Jordan.

Getting Rid of Soot

Please refer this question to your readers: I wish to know how to get rid of the soot that accumulates from burn ing soft coal. My chimney burns out often, but there still seems to be much scot adhering to the pipe inside and to the stove lids. READER.
 I have been told by credible authorities that if bits of zinc, such as may be had at stove manufactories and shops in which stoves are repaired and sold, are put into the grates where soft coal is burned they will materially lessen the de- posit of soot in the pipes and chimney. Scraps, shavings and strips of zinc may be procured from these places at a trffiing cost.
 With this suggestion, pass on the query.

How to Dye a Switch

Here are two items which women should read l know they are good. In peeling ripe tomatoes rub the back of your knife hard over the skin. They will peel as easily as if they had been scalded and be of a better flavor.
 'ro dye a switch: Put half cup of dry green tea and a pint and half of water in an iron kettle and boil a little while. Let 1t stand over night, then strain. returning the liquid to the kettle. dip the switch in, and dry it until 1t is the correct shade. One may wear the hair during the day and dip it at night. It will be soft and fluffy. MRS. B."
 Dyed hair is out of my province, but l cheerfully commend the process that spares tomatoes the scalding which inn pairs flavor and flrmness. Never scald tomatoes that are to be used for salad or peeled for scalops. Peel with a keen blade or adopt the rule laid down by our correspondent.

Two Song-Poems Sought

"l want two poems or songs, whichever they are. 1 do not know the name of either. One is by George Conan. The thought is cheerfulness and not to grum- ble, and if folks talk dolefulefully tell them you haven't time to listen,' etc.

Curling Fumes on Hat

Can you tell me how to curl plumes without removing them from the hat? l wore a new hat out on damp day and the plume is now perfectly straight.
 MRS. w. F. s." Curl them with the dull blade of case knife, taking great care not to break the delicate filaments. Curl one at time and take plenty of time for the task. A sharp knife would ruin the plumes.
 Practice the art upon floss silk or upon an old plume before attacking those upon your hat. It may be done, and well, if one is willing to take the requisite time and pains.

Orphan Seeks Relatives

q wish you would publish a line or two for me when you can find space. I am an orphan, having been adopted at the age of 3. and my foster parents, by giv- ing false address, entirely separated me from my family. My grandparents at the time were living in Chicago. Could you publish the following?
 T should like to hear from friends or relatives of John ]. Jefferie, who resided in Chicago in 1880 or 'S1. MABEL J."
 Referredl The case Is peculiarly piti- full.
 Please note that the date renders the search the more difficult.

Fourth of July

The fourth of July was a very
quiet day in Clovis as there was
no sp ecial celebration scheduled.
Quite a number of our citizens
were out of town, some going to
Roswell and others to Las
Vegas to see the great CD fight.
The business houses were for
the most part closed, and a ball
game at Lavender park held out
an attraction to the fans. The
first nine did some fancy stick
work at Roswell and the country
nine went to Claud.
