numbers. 4 Reuter- dispatch says that
important British reinforcements
reached that port on Thursday and

Serbians were unable to maintain
their positions in the Katchnik region,
owing to the greatly superior forces Of
the invaders.

Parties for Children
Quite the most important parties to
be given this Christmas will be for
the children and the wounded officers
now convalescent. / hear Lady Alaa-
tair Innes-Ker is arranging one in rec
ognition of her husband having re-
ceived the d. S. o. It is to be great
affair in which scores of small chill
dren and invaded officers will take
part. For years children's parties have
been favorite form of entertainment
for adults as we'll as the youngest gen.
eration--i1deed. it was a festivity upon
which great hostesses often depended
to gather together important bach
elors' who would come to 1t in pref
crence to dinner party or E. dance.
Double efforts are to be made this year
to give a gay time to the children and
the officers who are we'll enough to
be amused, as people realize that by
giving such festivities they are in no
way offending sentiment or tasto which
good form to make merry this year.
Indeed, 1t appears the Duchess of Rox-
burghe meditates similar fcstivity
to that being planned by her sister
in-law, who was, by the way, Miss
Breese of New York, and whose mother
Is now Mrs. Harry Higgins. The big
hotels are also arranging parties aft
err the style of that originated by Lady
Alastair Innes-Ker.
