took off one day in q jinrikisha
and instructed the coolie boy ex-
actly where she wished to go.
After riding for about Is min
utes she realized that he was
taking her in the wrong direc-
ton and toward the outskirts Of
the city. The Dowager called
his attention to this fact, but on
he went, just as though he
hadn't heard her. Finally she
gave a good hearty yell at him.
Still, he went right on and she
knew that for some reason, good
or otherwise, the coolie was car.
rying her deliberately the wrong
way.
SO, with all the dignity with
which she entered numerous
drawing rooms, she rose and
walked out half way on the
shaft of the "ricksha," brought
her folded umbrella down with
some force on the head Of the
coolie, and then while he col
lapsed quietly and literally in
his tracks, she got out of the
ricksha, walked back a bit, sig
nailed another ricksha and went
serenely on her way.
MRS. D. I. SULTAN has served
1V1 notice on all friends that
today she refuses to move out Of
her house or go-anywhere. Any
one who comes to the always
hospitable Sultan house, will be
welcome today, as always, but
they may expect to find Mrs.
Sultan comfortably anchored to
q couch.
Eggnog will be available to
those who would like it, but
well, this Christmas holiday has
been entirely too strenuous for
Mrs. Sultan. Not only did prac-
tically everyone that she knew
give parties, but the daughters
Of all her friends made their
debutS at or during Christmas.
OF course, she didn't want to
miss any of them and didn't, but
the final blow descended when
she had to leave the hairdress-
er's, before her hair was COM
pletely done, so as to have time
to go to all the parties sched-
uled for that one day.

MARY COOTES, daughter Of
AVA Colonel and Mrs. Harry
Cootes, is a very stunning look
ing girl, but she looked even
more so at a recent dance. OF
course you know the way Mary
wears her black hair, or is it
very, very dark brown? She
wears bangs and the rest Of her
short locks piled up into a style
made world famous by the late
Queen Alexandra, and this par
ticular evening she wore severe,
black crepe gown that accentu-
ated the lines of her graceful,
tall figure and wore not one
single jewel to detract atten-
ton from the dress or herself.
We repeat, she looked stunning
and the effect was quite In
triguing.
0AROL FRIES, daughter of
" General and Mrs. Amos
Fries, was so amazed and ex-
cited over an incident which
happened at her house the day
before Christmas, that she over
looked humor and grew very
literal and matter of fact. Carol
was having hot cider party at
her house, on Christmas Day,
and sometime during the after.
noon of the twenty-fourth Of De-
cember the plastering in one
corner of the Fries living room
proceeded to fall down. It was
only a small chunk Of plaster,
nothing could be done about 1t
then and wasn't until Carol
arrived home. Then someone
told her about the ceiling.
what has happened" she
asked the General.
"Oh nothing" he replied a
bit facetiously, we've just been
doing some interior decorating"
"But you can't" said Carol in
a quick rush of words, I'm hav-
ing my party tomorrow and you
can't do any interior decorating
like that" However, it all ended
nicely, for nobody even noticed
the bit Of plaster, much less the
ceiling.

And a very Happy New Year
