~1HE young Mrs. Van D.,
equally at home in the
most select society in Chi
l3EkSM cago and New York, either
takes after her grand
mother or else she has the divine
spark of inspiration. Only few
years ago a debutante, she is now
one of the. acknowledged leaders
in the best circles-simply because
of her ideas. Whenever a particu-
larly clever ''fad" sweeps society,
it may often be traced to Mrs. Van
d. Some nod their heads and re-
call the brilliance of her grand
mother in the society of the old
days-others simply watch her and
take hints.
When Nah Jong awoke from the
centuries and found itself famous
in New York, Mrs. Van d. was
among the first to see possibili-
ties.
But she was not sas sled simply
in spreading the acceptance of the
ancient game-she had to make 1t
interesting to those who played it
with her-she had to give it at
mosphere. That's one of Mrs. Van
DIS secrets-atmospher She sur
rounds everything she does with
that air of "just right" which
makes the simplest, event glamor-
Gus and memorable--and many Of
her most successful ideas are real
ly very simple when you come to
analyze them.
She was one OF the first to wear
Chinese costumes whenever she
played the game. When. one eve
ming, at game In her house, her
guests discovered strange and de-
lightful odor Of incense pervading
the room. they knew that Mrs. Van
D. had discovered another clever
way for getting the right atmos-
phere for the Oriental game.
The problem of prizes which has
always troubled hostesses, whether
at card parties or charity balls.
was therefore QulCAty SotFSu W
Mrs. Van d. for Nah Jong. Her
prizes must. blend into the right
atmosphere, too!
Mrs. Van D. Is widely read (per-
haps that is where she gets some
OF her ideas) and she has the
knack OF giving books as presents
which make the recipient feel that

had been expected, the market dis
played an upward tendency soon after
the opening and although prices then
for a iwhile became easier the advance
was resumed in the last hour, with con
siderable buying of July here against
sales at Winnipeg. Sentiment was
more or less influenced by word that
millers buying in Chicago aggregated

shipped to eastern mills.
