THE EVENING TELEGRAM LAKELAND, FLA, ONE YEARIN NEW YORK \______ “That's funny,” said Mrs. Crockett. “Mrs. Hamilton Hurlburt Dickson re- quests my presence at bridge Mon- day afternoon and she requests it in the most expensive engraved old Eng- lish, too!" “Why funny?" inquired Crockett, temporarily suspending the reading of the sporting page. “Did you expect her to pick the letters in a pin or make a transparency of it?” Mrs, Crocket turned up her nose at him. “It is funny,” she said, “because I have not the slightest idea who Mrs. Hamilton Hurlburt Dickson is—have you?" Crocket laid down his paper. “Never heard of her,” he said. “But think, Jimmy,” begged Mrs. Crockett, *“Was she on your list when we gent our announcement cards?” “She was not,” sang Crockett in de- scending scale, “To the best of my knowledge, she isn't the sister or mother or relative of anybod, 1 know or ought to know. Why should she In- vite you?" “Well, as to that, why shouldn't she?" bristled Mrs. Crockett. *“And it's to be at the Northedge club, and I'm dying to see the inside of that club, It's two weeks off, so it must be a big party.” “Well, why don't you go?" asked Crockett. “You've got the ticket let- ting you in.” “Go to a party given by an utterly strange woman?” demanded Mrs. Crockett, I have heard of women who were social climbers inviting women they wanted to get in with, even if they hadn't ever met them. Maybe—" “Darling,” interrupted Crockett, “I am loath to Dblast your sweet illu sions, but why should anyone as -ex pensive as Mrs, Hamilton Hurlburt Dickson looks to be from her invi- tation card be sitting up nights plan- ning how to get acquainted with a perfectly sweet lady living in a $45 flat and able to afford one tailor gown a year?” “All this,” from having a legal mind! ply don't understand! It is ed to my full name and the is right!" Mrs. Crockett stuck the card in her dressing mirror o it would be handy to ponder over. By diligent search she found that Mrs. Hamilton Hurl- burt Dickson lived on a boulevard quite near, and she walked by the house without getting any further clews. Every night she told Crockett that she simply must find out about the invitation, so she could either ac- cept or decline it. “I'd hate to offend her by declining it if it really is some one I ought to know,” she walled. “But, of course, 1 don't want to thrust myself upon her it she doesn’'t know me! Consider how awkward it would be, Jimmy, for a perfectly strange hostess to meet a perfectly strange guest, and neither of us have the slightest common ground to stand on! We can’t even ask how each other's families are, because we don't know who belongs to the fam- ilies! They say that Northedge cludb is perfectly beautiful. Of course I'm not so crazy to go that 1 want to ac- cept this invitation, still—and there’s my new velvet dress, and this would be such a good chance to wear.it.” “Well, go on and go!” urged Crock- ett, “Oh, I wouldn't dream of such a thing!” cried his wife. “But do you think it would be awful if I did? 1t she's asked me she should take the consequences, shouldn’t she? Of course 1 shan't—but, then—don't you think that last hat I got looks particularly well with the velvet? I'm just dying for a good game of bridge—I've got to write my acceptance or regrets today, that's all there is to it!” said his wife, “comes But 1 sim- address- address That afternoon, as Mrs. Crockett sat down at her writing desk, her sister- inlaw came in. She saw the card from Mrs. Hamilton Hurlburt Dickson, and reached out a casual hand, when Mrs. Crockett told its story. “Oh, that's meant for me!" she said. “Mrs. Dickson is & bride, and I'm a friend of her mother’s and her moth- er is in Europe, and she didn't know my front name, so she looked in the JANUARY 2, 1912, AUTHOR OF missed that party at the Northedge club for anything!" Crockett heard about it that even- ing. “I'm awfully sorry,” he sympa- thized, “when you wanted to go so badly!” It was then that his wife exploded. “Why, James Crockett!” she cried. “As if I ever dr-r-eamed of going to her old party! The idea! I should say not!"

The extensive use of double-faced cloth this season has done away with the use of trimmings on many of the utility coats, as the majority employ the reverse side of the fabric for col- lars, revers, cuffs and pocket flaps. When a single texture is used for a garment plain cloth in a contrasting color is used as a trimming, frequently giving the effect of a coat made of double-faced cloth, Plain and novelty velvets are like- wise favored and some satin is also used. It looks now as if fur and imitation WHAT NEW YORK CRITICS SAY OF “THE THIRD DEGREE The Telegraph The Evening Mau “sThe Third Degree’ " is a “Gripped the angi " better play than ‘The Music ‘Will TuR as long as g Master’ or ‘The Lion and the Lon and the Mous:: Mouse.'. .
