DOINGS OF OUR FOUR HUNDRED., Surprises and Bazaars Galore—What the Favored Few Have Been Doing for Their Amusement Dur- ing the Week. The week has been overflowing with gai ety, receptions and luncheons, spread thick as butter on country bread, together with theater partivs and the cotillion, not tomen- tion little evenings without a definite name to distinguish them, but which along with the others are considered by the staid aud | distinctly unfrivolous us calculated to rob the checks of roses and the eyes of sparkle. ‘'he merry-go-round of beauty gaily be- 3 dizened, and beaux occasionally havdsome 3 and invariably well dressed, is a picture of lively iuterest and the occasion of owlish prophecy. Yet I doubt if there be one among ¢ us who has passed the grand climacte 3 would uot glauly ran the risk of w coming on apace it we could but turn all the clocks in the country back to the vime when 3 we were part and parcel of the whirl, As for the wear and tear of dissipation it has falled to materialize this winter, for the B vast bouquet of debutantes and beiles of & i year or even two or three years siuce, aro as il fair as pearls to the eyes and as thrilling as Y0808 to touch, in short as sweet and winsome as women may be. Care makes more lines and deeper ones than inuocent gaiety and lenten sleep will + - woo back the roses and the limpid softness in the pretiy eyes. Ash Wednesaay will show a solemn face all 100 soon and unul then let us fill & bumper to just as much in- mocent joy as the time will'hold. Mrs, Rogers' leception.

The materials at hand are various and varied from individual selection and the : resulting picture effects are as full of sur- E prises as an Xmas stocking. Mrs, T, J. Rog- ors' réteption on Tuesday in honor of her sister, Mrs. Latey and Mrs. Wurren Rogers, was & positive delight 1o the scuses. A charming house as a setting with flowers, music, and pretty women in pretty gowns constitute the sum of attractiveness that fow ‘women can resist. 1f a bushel of roses could make & summer the wminds of the guests would huve let go all thought of December, mild though it be this time, for the whilo they cnjoyed their sweet hostess’ hospitality, Directly on entering the hall the eyes rested ou a bank of nodding palmsand ferns, in & corner of tho drawing room one literally “'breathed upou a bank of violets,” a groat bowl of dainty white oues rising from a bank of smilax wore easily found from their p excess of sweotnoss. . ; In anothior corner some dolicato orobids drew a group of wouien who talked wisely « and otherwisely of those rare aud fashion ablo flowers. : Awerican beauty roses and hyacioths . crowded the mantel pieces, tables and piano, while palms and ferns crowded the hearth. ¢ In the library the wantel piece was seem- 4 ingly made of la France roses and forns and . orchids were gheek by Jowl with bric-a-brac ) on the sholves. ‘The dining room was unusually attractive, the table uncovered and shining savo for a center piece of geld colgred silk surmounted by a bowl of Hennet and Honsaline roses With festoons of smilax reacning from the chuudeiiers to tue effective silver und brass candilabra, Caundles and flowers adorned the side. board und the inviting sweets daintily served made a conquest of another sense.

A b Luncheon, On Thursany Mrs, H. 8. Rollius gave a beautiful luncheou at the Union club in honor of Miss Hosford and Miss Coe, Feeling that color had rather been done to death the hostess planned her luncheon of groen and white, anything crisper or daiotier than the result cannot be imagined, The le was arranged in the form of a maltese cross with a center piece of a pyra- mid quite four feet wide of palms and feath- ery ferns drooping and nodding in all possi- ble grace, ious green grapes and delicate malden- hair ferns in white jurs tied with green rib- bons, green wine glasses and airy festoons of smilax on the chandeliers combined to carry out the fairy-like effect. Fryor, w whose clever catering and ad- mirable taste the execution was due, had beautified the sideboard and side tables with potted ferns and palms, ‘Lhiroughout the menu, whick was appetiz- ing and toothsome to a degree, the tint of green, liga the first showing of springtime, was hapoily visible. Pretty green and white luncheon cards were the souvenirs of the occasion carried away by the women. After coffee Miss Coe played the piano sand Miss Mosford sung some churwiug songs deliciously, winning every one with her gracious responses to the request, potwithstanding she had just sat through twelve courses. Auother time- honored excuse wispelled by the sweet spell of u generous woman's voice. The gowus added seusibly to the beauty of the pleture, Mrs. Rollins wore a gown of dark green velvet combined with green, brown and gold brocade, black hat with feathers.

Luncheon-Cards, Cards of invitation to Mrs. Hanscom's carry with them the promise of delight as “plain as the way to Parish church,” and very few regrets find a temporary resting place on their table, Miss Hanscom's luncheon on Friduy was no exception to the rule, The hospitable house was full of guests who came in out of the cold in laughing grouvs, with glowing cheeks and looking as fresh as though ever, day of the week had not been crowded wit dissipation, Ou entering the parlor trays were passed heaped high with pink and yellow roses to- wether with ribbon-bedizened cards on whioch oue read in gold lettering, ‘“High Five,” and the number of the table, Partners wore chosen by rbymin the ribbous, and after being seated accord- mgly, luncheon was served, And sucha luncheou—everything delicious, each course being a “‘duinty dish to set before the king.” After coffee progressive high five held the olosest iuterest of the players.
