have been very few professional
teachers, but l understand that Pro-
fessor Mathews, that noted New YORK
master of the art, and Professor Hess,
one OF the nine teachers under Math

way to Palm Beach for a pleasure
trip. Each year at this time they GO,
and / wonder II they could be per-
suaded to stop over for week or so
and give demonstrations and regular
lessons as Donna Balm and Donald
Crane did just before Christmas?
Now is a better time, as there is
not so much activity in society as at
the holiday season, and mornings ana
evenings both could be devoted ak
clusively to learning new things

they hang from the conventional sau-

useful piece OF the jewelers. art must
certainly have been made by special
order, as the slides were carved in
the monogram of Mrs. Phinizy.
IN LTHOUGH the past week did not

ing 1t, yet 1t could by no means
be called duh. There were fewer
spectacular affairs and much
more general entertaining. BY this
time the debutantes have had their
Innings, and consequently there are
not so many large dances receptions
or luncheons. There is ever plenty of
charity entertainment. Musicals have
been popular recently for raising
funds for ladies' guilds. For the He
brew Orphans Home there was a
large bridge party at the Georgian
Terrace last week, and readings by
noted artists have gained the popular
favor of women interested in charity.

the benefit of their society.

on the best thing to give, just as any
consulting physician would do for his
patient. She selects the entertain
ment. the decorations and takes upon
her heroic shoulders all the details
for each separate occasion, and all
her affairs have been quite distinct
from all predecessors. She seems to
have a genius for that kind of thing,
and her brain is n mine of original
services for extracting gold from the
public pocket by means of brilliant
