before half past . or 6. Then must

sty for any form Of entertainment To
be provided for the guests after the
dinner, unless II is n set Of people who
play auction. Many hostesses con-
tend therefore that the late dinner
hour really makes entertaining easier;
the earlier hour requires that some
amusement must be provided after
dinner to pay the guests for coming,

The inviting Of a limited number OF
guests to a dinner, followed by a mu-
slcale to which another set Of guests
are invited, is form of entertainment
that does not always meet with un-
qualified success and has sometimes
led To rather hard feelings. The proc
ess of separating the sheep from the
goats naturally implies discrimination,
and people dislike being ella ssed with
the goats. The music furnished must
therefore be of the rarest and incl
dentally the most expensive charac-
ter 10 make ii worth while
The goats have one advantage; they
can dine in peace and comfort at any

/ Of the receipts than in most cases goes
to the object for which the ball Is
| given. These women have worked
pluckily this year against greater odds
than have been encountered in many
years, owing to the unusual demands
! for aid and assistance made this
winter and they had the satisfaction
/ OF beholding IA huge gathrrins fur the

smaller entertainments of the winter,
the young element being particularly
IN evidence. There was no lack OF
