VISITING NURSES
 ANNUAL BALL AT , STRATFIELD HOTEL
Substantial Revenue From So- ciaI Event Will Be Devoted to Furtherance of Splendid Work.

A marked contrast, last evening, to the dashing rain which was falling in torrents outside, was the brilliant scenasin the StratfieId ball room where the first annual ball of the Visiting Nurses was being held,
 For years people have been dancing for charity and for years they will dance for it.. but never perhaps, has there been a prettier, a more select, or a better arranged affair given in this vicinity than that of last evening
 The savage weather did not deter people from coming to the dance, nor, once there. did it hasten tEsm to their home again.
 Those who came were delighted at the new dress of the ball room which seemed some fortunate place where the roses, ldlacs and rhododendrons had chosen to bloom early. Its entrance was lined with palms, alternating with lavender and white lilacs and white rhododendron bushes in full bloom.
 In the ball room itself, tall palms, blooming Dorothy Perkins rose bush es, hydrangeas. and rhododendrohs stood about Breaking the lines where floor and walls met. Graceful drap- ings of southern snIlax gave the nec- essary note of green. A group of palms hid the orchestra. Before the latticed railing of each lE5 of the Dorothy Perkins rose, while just over the doorway was large plant of Marguerites in fun bloom. | In the cosy corner just off the ball room were also palms and flower las- den. rose bushes while graceful bunch of pink carnations were on the table.
 The assembly room where bridge
 was played was decorated with sim
 pie greens. palms being used exc1u- lsively.
 The gowns. of tine women were es- pecially noteworthy. Fine 1aces, silks
 and cIiffons were used together with
 wonderful. effect
 | No one was too old last evening to
 dance the new dances which were used exclusively and accordingly. there was little bridge playing.
 The work of the Visiting Nurses l Association in this section needs nc
 comment, for the good which is done
 through them is widely known among I the poor of the city.
 The committee of arrangements for 1 last evenings dance were Mrs. Harvey Hubbell, music; Mrs. J. T. Roche, | bridge; Mrs. A. L. Riker and Mrs. H. 1 M. Knapp, Invitations: Mrs. s. H. l Wheeler. publicity and printing; Mrs. H. M.s Knapp, room, refreshments and decorations

GUARDING THE HEART

Wilt thou be my dearie
 When sorrow wings thy gentle heart. 0 wilt thou let me cheer thee?
 I swear and VOW that only thou
 Shall ever be my dearie.''
 When love words have been spoken and, lovers vows exchanged there is mo thought of Keeping guard over each others hearts lest the silien tie of love which binds them might be severed. A woman always feels se- cure in her affections in it's early promise They may tell her her lover is hck1e, 1ight-o'-love, but she does not believe them. No matter how many fair faces he may see she knows that he Is faithfully guarding There are love traps baited for him of which she little knows. His sister may have a fair young girl friend whom she brings to her home; his family have agreed to spare no pains to bring them together. and make ia match between them if possible, ot1st- ing the image of the girl already in his thoughts But he guards his heart so carefully that they give up as use less the attempt to make a match for him.
 His business partner has fayorite niece. He would like him in the fam fly. This girl may have fairer face than the girl of his own choosing, but he guards his heart faithfully against >her. His interest in her never devel- ops further than the courtesy of an acquaintance. He is careful that it shall not grow into friendship. What man does not know that it is only a step between friendship and love where two are brought in constant contact and naturally the best foot is put forward to appear pleasing in the eyes of the other.
 While a single man is good to look
 upon has exemplary habits and is prosperous. he Is the matrimonial tar rectfon. He knows his only safety is
 in keeping his heart well under sub- jection. Even the mamnas who know that he is not fancy free are not above
 using their best endeavors to cause him to Change his mind in favor of their own fair daughter. If every man could tell of his expe- rience in dodging those would-be- helpers of Cupid. it might make a thrilling, if not very humorous read ing It also would make many a low
 CT more of a prize in the. eyes of the girl who has won him with appar-
 entity so little effort. The girl who
 thinks that she could play fast and loose with a lover, that he could get
 no one else, might be. amazed if she
 knew of the many opportunities which he has to guard his heart against There are women who consider that
 cutting another woman out is the
 most amusing diversion; that all Is fair in love and war. No wonder that some men have a hard time in guarding Their hearts safe for the ones they care for.

THE NEW KITE
CBx Vireinia VaIe.l

Once upon a time Walters father promised to make him a kite just like one his father had made for him when he was a little boy. Walter could hardly wait for his father to begin and when he saw him come home one night with big roll under his arm. he felt sure he was going to start to ma kr- one
 He was right for his father started that>very night
 He took two pieces of wood and fastened them together and then s1d- ded two more pieces. Walter thought it looked something like a boy with arms and legs and his father told him he had guessed right as it was to be a boy kite
 He pasted some paper on the frame to form a head, added blue paper for trousers and bright red for the jacket.

THE HOBBY-HORsE

I had a little hobby-horse,
 And it was dabbIe grey; He was a gentle horsey
 And always loved to play. He had two little leather ears
 A naane of silky hair; Two amber beads were for his eye' They were pretty pair He had a little bridIe
 And a leather saddle, too, And every day we rode away
 Perhaps a mile or two.

I now appeal to to you. Is there any advice you can give?
 FATHER
 A girls young girl friends are capa- ble of influencing her where all others fail Let her aunt select two estina- bIe young women to call, gain her confidence, esteem and affection by degrees. and they will be able to change her from a w1Iful hoyden into a loving daughter by their influence. If the aunt cannot secure such friends from the number of young girls she knows, she might resort to engaging them for modest stipend to under take the good work. The end would Justify the means. No doubt the will ful girl Is lonely.
