Lady Astor Can Put Party
 At Ea SC


 Lady Astor, famous as an innovator since she became the first woman mem Der of the British parliament, started a new idea in the way of "at homes" recently, and the idea promises to spread not only in England, but to America. ~
 Having issued invitations for an aft ernoon party, Lady Astof set to think ing how she could keep it from turning out to be boresome affair, aH so many functions of the kind which safa had at- tended were. Many of the guests would not know one another, and there was the great problem.
 The ordeal of formal introductions, as necessary as they seemed to be, was an enervatlng prospect. Perhaps it was an enervating prospect. Perhaps it was the hostess's little personal re- volt against the stiff custom that led her to the way out of a difficulty that has made many another woman wish there weren't any such thing as an afternoon" the Philadelphia Public Ledger suggests. She might even have exclaimed to herself "I wish people didn't haye to be introduced and go through all those initial agohies."
 Anyway, Lady Astor summoned up all the courage it takes to violate such a convention. She decided not to intro duce her guests formally at all, but to label them and let them figure one an- other out. The result was the hobby tag" party. She met each. guest with a card bearing name and profession or hobby. As soon as tagged, the men and women were led at once to the drawing room. It worked. All felIg into the spirit of the game, and vent from one to another learning names and, more important in such case, finding a sub ject of conversation.

MAN IS THE DREAMER
wonaan Is The Mere Logical Thinker
 BrOOkIyn Artist Asserts

Brooklyn Artist Asserts
 Man is hopeless idealist and an un- eontrOllabie dreamer. while woman is the concrete, logical thinker, in the opinion of Leon DabO, Brooklyn artist. He expressed what he himself called tho heretic opinion at the annual dim ner of the Plymouth Athletic aSsocia- ton the other night.
 The popular conception that woman is a tender, mystic being is a mistaken one, he asserted. On the contrary, she is the practical realist who never loses or changes her. mind in any situation.
 ''The greatest danger to young mel" i" the speaker said, '.is that they are un- able to differentiate between the ideal world and the real world. The tradegy is that most of us do not know where to stop day dreaming and to begin work
 He said that there is absolutely no obstacle which can stand in the, way of a man who has made up his mind to accomplish a definite purpose. Sue cess in any walk of life is dependent upon our ability to strike out the things which hinder and to use only the things which help us to attain our definite object, he said.
 There IS no such person as a genus, in thhe opinion of the speaker. The worlds greatest pianist practices at an instrument five hours daily. His own statement to Mir. Dabo would indicate that If he missed the daily practice for but one day critics would note the change in his technique.
 Mir. DabO summed up his address by asserting that the man who is a sue cess is the one who can recognize the realities of life and separate them from day dreams.-BrOOklyn Eagle.

WILSON "s0LITARY MINDED"
Charles w. Eliot Writes Of Late Pres

Charles w. Eliot Writes Of Late Pres.
 ident's Attitude Toward Advice
 Woodrow Wilson was from youth and at maturity solitary minded man. He could seize like lightning on an- other mans idea, make it his own, push it forward eagerly, and apparently for get it's source. aff
 Again, when he was at tho height of his power, he often received sletters of suggestion or advice from friends he respected and returned for them grate- what he acknowledged: You have helped me to clearify my ownthoughts.
 He did not enjoy criticism of his work either as a scholar and author, or as a political leader and ruler. Toward a friend who persisted in criticizing and differing, Wilson's friendship cool ed. When he sought relief from the cares and labors of the anxious days in the White House, he liked best the society of the loving and admitting wom- en of his family. 8S}
 He was capable of treating without due consideration friends ofAliis youth and early prime who later differed from him on important public questions. He himself felt passionate resentment against louitical opponents who, he thought, maligned him, and he reused in them corresponding hatred.
 In short, Woodrow Wilson, like most reformers and pioneering folk, had a fierce and unlovely side.-Charles W. Eliot in the Atlantic Monthly.
