"A dinner!" exclaimed Mrs. Law
fence in dismay; "I'll never dare get
up a dinner till I know more than
I do now. I should be worried sick
(or a 'week before, and as for ration
al conversation while we were at
the table, it would simply be out of
tile question. I should be wonder
ing if everything would go off all
right."
"Well," suggested her friend, "If
you would like ito entertain, why
don't you give a lunoheon to some
of your girl friends? Luncheons urn
so much more Informal than dinners,
and If your luncheon goes off well,
it will give you courage to attempt
a dinner."
The bride dropped her embroidery
suddenly.
"I have it," she cried; "I'll get up
an Easter lunoheon, and Invite my
bridesmaid: Now you know," she
continued, confidentially, as she re
sumed her work, "I'm a greenhorn,
and I wish you'd Just advise me how
"to do it. Between you and me, I'm
just aching for a ohance to show off
my pretty cut glass and silver."
Mrs. Kirke smiled. "Vanity," she
remonstrated, "but If you would like
to Invite your bridesmaids, I think 1
can help you get up a very pretty
affair."
"You're ever so good," replied the
other gratefully, "for I'm so stupid
about suoh things. Now, If It were
a case of doing some Greek prose, or
translating a bit of Horace, I'd feel
more at home. And I do wish I'd
had a chance to learn housekeeping
at college."
"Well," responded her companion,
"I'll be only too glad to give you the

to be an Barter luncheon, your dec

the color scheme green and white."
"That would be pretty," comment
ed Mrs. Lawrence, "and I have a
handsome cut glass vase that would
do for the lilies."
Mrs. Kirke shook her head.
"No, 1 have a newer Idea than that,
Get one of those pretty green mats
from the florist's (with fringed
edges), and double It over corner
wise, fastening with a big bow of
Sreen ribbon. Then you can lay the
Miles lit that, so thail some come out
each eud. It gives kind of a basket
effect. The silver candelabra that
your aunt gave you will be Just the
'hlng for the table, with green shaded
randies."
"But don't you think green gives
a ghastly light?" objected the bride.
"Not if you get i In' right shade,"
responded her .friend, "and anyway
you want it to harmonize with the
rest of the luncheon.
"Now for your menu. I think It U
a good Idea to let the various courses
carry out the color scheme, and you
can have grev variation In green

The guests, who arrived a few mo

Hose to Match Boots Now.
Hosiery to match shoe tops ls tho
latest Idea In Paris, where few are so
busy or dull that they do not help
the fashions along. It ls quite the
thing to take one's shoe tops along
when getting hose. There should
not be any dividing line between tho
tops of the shoes and the beginning
of the design and coloring of the
stocking. The design should start ex
actly at the shoe tops. One French
shoe dealer says: "I regard the
boot looking glass as an absolute es
sential where good looking feet are
concerned. Few women have a mir
ror low enough to see a boot right
from the sole up, and I advise the
woman who wants nice looking feet
to have a bit of glass or mirror Bet
into the wall right next to the floor.
It can be panel shaped and tall
enough to take in the whole figure,
or it can be merely a couple of feet
In height." New York Press.

Novel English Entertainment.
A new form of entertainment which
has been very popular In London this
season ls known as "wallflower balls."
It provides games and competitions
for pretty dancers who. owing,' to the
dearth of men, are obliged to sit out
for a portion of the evening.
The old term of "wallflower" has
lost Its original slgniflcence of dis
grace, the manager of an "entertain
ment bureau" said yesterday. Girls
are well aware nowadays that that It
is very Improbable that their pro
grams will be filled, and the large ma
jority of dancing girls over dancing
men makes tho position of tho hostess
a difficult one.
An energetic society hostess who
was troubled last season by noticing
a number of charming girls standing
around her hospitable ballroom, has
organized a series of "wallflower

Women at the Theatre.
At the theatre, perhaps more than
at any other public place, people are
conspicuous for lack ot consideration
for others. By coming in late and
obliging others to gather up their bo
longings and rise to allow them to

Sometimes they lengthen the annoy
