The Silver Tea given last night at Laton, was the success of the seasoi, a large number being present to en- s, which was carried out as pub- lished yesterday, with one or two exceptions, The lower floor of this spflf-iu\ni home was heautifully arranged for the oceasion. Festoons ol hearts were artistically draped over the door- ways, about the walls and from the corners of the rooms to the chande- [ liers, the affair being in the nature of a Valentine Tea. In the reception hall, a prettily decorated candy booth, presided over by Miss Dora Bonacker and Miss May Jones, had been arranged and these young la- dies proved to be quite charming salesladies, as quite a handsom? amount was derived from the sale of the delicious home-made candies. Receiving at the front door were: Mrs. S, F. Smith and Mrs. 0. M. Ea- ton, who ushered the guests to the parlor where they were welcomed by Mrs. H. J. Drane, Mrs. C. F. Brush and Mrs. E. N. Rodrick. The parlor was beautiful with its decorations of red hearts, long-stemmed vases fill- ed with lovely roses, and the dark Ereenery of several beautiful ferns. The library was also prettily arrang- ed, roses being used to splendid ad- vantage in its decoration. The dining room was especially pretty, the flowers used in this room being nasturtiums. The dining-table was beautiful, red hearts being scat- tered over the snowy linen, the table being further ornamented by bowis| of nasturtiums. The gu were served with chicken salad, wich- es, olives, pickles and he .\“:l]h"lj which were very much en- joyed. A very gratifying sum was realiz- ed from the entertainment, and the ladies wish to thank all those who contributed to the success of the oc- casion, . s Valentine Dahce. A Valentine dance was given last night in the 0dd Fellows' Hall, which was quite a delightful affair The grand march began about f and from that time on the evening sped most rapidly as the couples tripped the light fantastic. * = Whist Club. The Whist Club was delightfully entertained yesterday afternoon by Mrs. 8. T. Fletcher. In her usual gracious manner, she welcomed each guest with that delizhtful hospitality that is always so pleasing and which makes an affair re v enjoyable There were two tables of players, the members and their Mrs, W. 8.

Among Other Advantages They Do Not Constitute Such a Strain on the Purse—Striped Materials Much in Vogue. 1t is a relief to turn from the more splendid creations of dress to the gen- tle effects adapted to’ the average wearer and pocketbook. The tollets called “little,” which means a fairly modest material made up in a simple and yet dressy manner, fill the bill. They are worn in the house, smart women donning them for the caller or for the home dinner; covered with long cloaks they are permissible in the street and, provided the bodice is dressily treated with proper accesso ries, such a gown may go in triumph to the theater. “Little,” however, also means that the get-up is a costume, & bodice gown and not a coat suit, Many cheap materials are suited to these frocks, although, of course, it one expects good service textures had better be choscn with an eye to at least a season's wear, for a really common goods soon shows wear and tear, and so many dainty little hand touches are needed on a gown |t seems scarcely worth while to spend the time on something that won't last. The illustration gives a charming adaptation of the “little” gown, the drawings displaying both a round and | a trained skirt, and the material used being a bargain silk in Quaker gray and dull blue. Such wide stripes are very modish just now, yet for some reason or other striped materials are all tremendously reduced. The costume, as shown on the fig- ure, eonsists of a round skirt made barely to escape the floor, this being now the correct length for all round skirts, and a peplum bodice with the popular low arm seam and soft wide revers. The skirt is prettily trim- med with a very full plaited rufie of gray sllk put over a slightly wider one of blue; the two are plaited to- gether and the edges are machine pinked. For the guimpe and sleeve ruffies a pretty French lace in a gray white 18 used, and the revers and cuff bands are of plain gray satin charmeuse. This model is very up to date, and many women have the bodice made to slip over a complete waist of net or lace like a jacket. The dress in its present shape would also be very suit- able for a Christmas dinner, at which full dress is not expected, and nothing could be prettier for a home reception at uny time. All the plain and bordered marqui- ’ | settes and veilings, striped and plain silks, and checked and figured voiles | are other adaptahle materials, and with a double width goods only three vards and a half or four yards would | be needed. If the trained version of the style is chosen the floor fall of the skirt could be cut poimted or square, for Ithough the pointed tail is consld- ered - shade more chic than the square finish both cuts are equally used. With a plain trained skirt in some rich brocade a bodice entirely of lace would be eminently smart, and in this event the back of the pep- lum could be made much more elab- :Irmorhntwnhndoepmmd«l p. OCCASION FOR SOME HARMLESS FUN AND AMUSEMENT. Calls Only for a Little Inventive Gen- lus and a Ready Tongue—Ilius- tration Shows Some Forms of the Game. After tea a good deal of harmless fun and amusement may be derived in telling fortunes by the leaves that remain in the bottom of the cups. The small quantity of tea that has not been consumed should be rinsed round the cup, and then poured away in such a manner that as many as possible of the leaves arc left adher- fng to the sides and bottom of the cup. 1t does not take much imagination to see faces and heads and other i and it is not dl(hrul( m Iiml shapes, lines and letters, efe,, formed by the te aves To hotter exnlaln this, above the sketch of the teacup may be scen some of the forms that should be looked for, and which are supposed to indicate various phases of fickle for- tune. For Instance, a star Indicated among the diagrams by A is supposed to foretell a distinguished career. A long line of leaves (1) a journey, and if continued all round the cup, which rarely happens, a journey round the world. If near the top of the cup, the journey will bo taken early in life, and lower in the cup, later in life. The rather gruesome sign C, made by leaves forming the shape of a cof- fin, means that some friend or rela tive is shortly going to leave to the owner of the cup a legacy, and the nearer the edge of the cup the sooner the event will happen. The cross (E) is a symbol of misfortune, and the larger the cross the greater the mis. fortune, while a number of small crosses indicate a series of little mis- haps, F represents a tree, and when well ;Ilesflned shows good health and long o, Two leaves in the position shown by G are known as a scythe, and indi- cate a prosperous life. Several crinkled leaves together (H) denote luck at cards or an un. lucky marriage. Three tiny spots in the position shown by diagram I predict a sea voy- age in the near future, and four dots arranged in a square a long rallway Journey. Sometimes, but rarely, distinct ini- tials may be found among the leaves (J 18 an example of this), and in that case they are supposed to be the ini- tials of future husband or wife. Ot course, any amount of fun may be made in this way by anyone with an inventive genius and a ready tongue. More to Be Remembered. The man of now has much more excuse for making mistakes than did Jullus Caesar or Alexander the Great. The world is bigger and there is more fn it. There is more to be remem- bered. There are machines now in everyday use that would have given the Conqueror of Gaul a headache to have even looked at. There is enough complexity in a single business day to drive Alexander into a brainstorm. Frohman Knew.
