There is much said both in praise
and blame of women's dress NOWADAYS,
Somebody has remarked that the ideal
feminine form of the present is model
led after the graceful lines of the string
bean. Whatever the merits or faults
of the present fashions, the styles of a
century ago will have some stanch ad.
vooates among those who attended the
annual party of the Travellers Club at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs B j Glat-
tly on the evening of Washington's
birthday. That modern ladies can
beat ancient ones on their own ground
was the opinion of every gentleman
present and all the beauty and romance
of our country's past history was re-
vlved for the evening, from the stately
Martha Washington, impersonated by
Mrs. A. s. Stewart, to that most inter.
esting of Indian maidens, Pooahontas,
cleverly resurrected in the person of
Mrs. Chas. Stewart The gentlemen
we're also dressed in the rutiled fipery
of yore and could the shades of their
knickerbockered ancestors have been
present it is unlikely that they would
hrve remarked any notioes BILE decline
in the stock.
table in the spacious Glattly home
was filled by this brilliant assent mblage
at O'Clock and the hearts of the gen.
tlemen guests we're reached by the tra-
ditional route and thrilled under the
harmonies OF gastronomic symphony
for an hour or more, at the end of
which time Mrs. Paul Fouke, the toast
mistress. arose and introduced the in.
tellectual part of the feast in witty
speech. Mrs. Knowlton, the president
of the club, followed and at intervals
punctuated by laughter and applause.
other speeches on humorous subjects
were made by Colonel Matteson, Mr..
Smith, Mr.. Foulke and Mr.. Glattly, AS
the only personal toast of the evening
Mr.. kuowlton proposed the health of
Mrs. F. T. Evans, honorary president
of the club, who was present in the
character of Abigail Adams, and the
entire company drank standing, with
acclamations and the clinking of
glasses Of sparkling Hot Springs water
The dance of the evening was Vir-
Rlnia reel, of course, and the music of
the evening was old songs sung by all
who chose, with informal heartiness.
and the general tone of the evening
was about as delightful as any evening
we'll might be. The only regret among
the gentlemen as they said good night
to'thelr hostess WAS that such evenings
come but once year in the Travellers
Club, but they are so good when they
do come that they furnish very com.
Portable twelvemonth of pleasant
memories.
