 A year ago wouldn't you have been surprised to hear of any member of
 New York's -four hundred' sitting
 quietly at the opera and knitting be- tween acts, or at the theatre, or at
 lunch at the Ritz, the Waldorf, or the Vanderbilt, between courses getting out hee little sewing bag and be- ginning to knit?
 Of course, you would, and yet nowa- days 1t is no uncommon sight to see Mrs. Fish or any of the Vanderbilt women. or Mrs. Oelrichs or the rest, doing just this sort of thing. An amusing incident was recently related of how MT. Walter Damrosch. the noted musical conductor, was asked by friend of his if the women in the audience didn't bother him during his concert Git had been particularly classical programme, by the way) as they knitted knitted knitted--all dur ing the beautiful music. MT. Damrosch laughingly remarked that he might answer in much the same way that the great Dr. Hans Yon Bulow answered a similar ques- tion when somebody asked him on one occasion if certain great dowager didn't worry him terribly during the concert by flaming so hard and so con- tinuously.
 Dr. von Bulow said quick1y: l "Of course it bothered me. but l wouldn't have minded so much the lady time"

It Is claimed that this was Nicola Marschall, the well known por- trait painter, who lived many years In Marion, and who is still living at an advanced age in Louisville, Ky. Mrs Cory paid the Judson the compliment of a visit and made talk before the school on the object of her coming, which was deeply interesting to all.
 A most elegant reception was given by Mrs. A. F. Armstrong at her beau tiful home in Marion, in honor of her cousin, Mrs Chappelle Cory, former state president of the Daughters of the Confederacy The members of the An drew Barry Moore chapter of the U D. c. in Marion were guests of honor as were the members of the Inter se The beautiful home of Mrs. Armstrong was artistically decorated in yellow sonquils, says the Marion Times, De- lightful tea. coffee, sandwiches and bonbons were served in the dining room by Mrs. John Howze and Mrs N.

Milk and Fish

My grandmother held to the day of her death that it was unhealthy to drink milk and to eat fish at the same meal. She held the same notion as to oysters and clans. As to lobster and crab meat, she declared that to have either with milk at the same meal was, to use her words, present death. Is there any foundation for the belief, or was 1t mere prejudice? MRS A. l.. H."
 I recollect that an editor criticised one of the cook books savagely les.i than 20 years ago for such ungodly and murderous combinations of food as cream and lobster" My memory runs back to the time when, as children. we were denied milk when we had oysters or fish at breakfast or supper. To the best of my knowledge and belief, the notion passed into the realm of ab- surd prejudice before the advance of scientific dietetics. Stale sea food is dangerous to the human stomach at any time. It is possible there are ele- ments in raw milk that increase that danger. It is certain that fish of what ever kind Is as wholesome cooked with milk or accompanied by cream sauce as when prepared in any other way. al- ways promising that the fish and milk are fresh.

What Is Going to Take the Place
 Of Bridge and "Ddncine?"
By DOLLY DALRyMP.E

She invited a couple of hundred guests to accept her hospitality and when they arrived the entire house was arranged with little card tables jus. as if real bridge party was going on.
 On closer inspection. however. It was revealed that instead of packs of cards being provided for each table and scores and pencils, piles of cotton and linen squares for bandages were placed at each table and instead of a prize being given for the top scores, prizes for the guest who folded the most dressings were given.
 Isn't that a novel idea2
 It certainly is a much more useful plan in these strenuous times Of war and strife than to "frivver' away an afternoon playing cards.
 It now remains for some clever host ess to suggest something to take the place of the afternoons and evenings which are spent in dancing.
 or, why doesn't some inventive danc- ing genius suggest dance whereby the "danc-ee" can knit as she follows the steps and her partner holds the yarn, just as the European peasant woman takes her knitting about with her as she tends her household cares?
