In the early days of the suffrage

at the home of a prominent matror or

are. therefore. debarred from dancing
in hotels or restaurants. the joy of the
private invitation party is being felt
more keenly each week, says a London
correspondent of the Pittsburgh Ca
zette-Times. The fact that there are
so many large unocccupied houses In
the west end also adds favorable
quality to this special form of merry
making.
The necessary component parts for
the success of an empty house dance
are large mansion in convenient
part of town, situated, If possible, near
a railway station or a nus route; a
ballroom or two or three big communi-
eating apartments with hardwood
floors; landlord who is good -natured
enough to lend the house or else to let
1t for one or more days. and sufficient
number of young people to make the
whole affair go with a bang from the
start No furniture is necessary eX-
Cept. of course, a few dozen chairs and
some tables to be used for supper dec
Nrations that can he arranged accold-
ing to the taste or the means OF the
host or hostess a band preferably of
the ractime variety. and two or three
servants that can be borrowed at dis
cretion from friends. Also simple
but plentiful supper. with no hot dishes
and plenty of fluid refreshment. With
these concomitants wartime enter
tainment of the character ] mention is
one of the jolliest things that London
can produce at present.
The wife of that great South Afri-
can maguate and multimiilionaire. Mrs.
''Solly' Joel, gave one of these empty
house dances recently. She lives near
Grosvenor Square, and her house,
though beautiful and most luxurious. is
not well suited to large gatherings
There happened to be a huge mansion
vacant in Grosyenor Square, however.
so Mrs Joel hired it flor two days, had
the entire ballroom floor hung with
curtains. arranged with cozy sitting
out spaces and decorated with various
palms and many beautiful flowers. In
stead of having chairs benches in
the ballroom she had huge cushions
placed around the sides of the wall so
that between the dances people could
squat" in the most unconventional
manner There were about fifty cou-
pies invited. practically all the men
being in khaki. while the girls for once
had a chance of airing their ballroom
finery, which. this season, at any rate.
has had little use.
Mrs. Joers costume was wonderful
being mass of Jette1l draperies and
floating tulles and laces. She is cred
tted with having one of the most spleu-
did strings of pearls in England, and
can well believe that this lovely rope
of gems cost not d penny less than
$4,000. which is reported to have been
its price. She is pretty, fair, plump
woman. whose golden hair is becoming
silver. and she has a jolly manner and
hearty good-natured laugh that goes

very trap laid for the Bolsheviki. This
is shown by what they triedyto do at
Stockholm.
They invited the Socialists and
workipgmen of the world to meet at
Stockholm. in order to discuss terms
OF peace, Then they fixed up the rep
resentati0n so that the Kerensky So
~cialists would not DO represented, but
the Bolsheviki would send delegates.
The Kerensky Socialists knew what
Germany would do to Russia. The
Bolshevfkt were willing to yield to the
Socialists Of Germany.
In the same way the German So
cfalists fixed up the representation at
Stockholm so that the 100000 Social
lists in America would have 16 dele
gates and the 10000 900 trade unionists
only four delegates.
