Last Sunday Churlle lOvatis, having arrived at the point where he felt he wanted his family's opinion of me, invited us both up to take tea with his mother. The minute 1 laid eyes on his mother I knew Knnnle would get In trouble she simply can't help getting nervously foolish when there's n relijclous person around.

An Artistio and Unique Stairway Seen In Studio Irish Crochet Hand Bags Very New Suggestions For a Spring Walking Suit. My Dcnr Elsn If a girl Uith n talem for cooking, the fiisclnutioiiH of Cleo patra and the cunning little ways cf Bllllo Burke she's well equipped ft:r the latest Lenten crnze, n cooking par ty. No, dear; this latest freak In do mesticity which smart society here In Gotham Is Indulging In is nothing like the usual Dorcas culinary party, where one ruins one's dress and digestion, smiling meanwhile the smile of a vil lain, and then goes home nnd says things. The particular function, ns Aunt Elinor would say, to which I re fer takes place In the evening nt the witching hour of 10 o'clock, and the chefs nre equally divided between the fair nnd the stronger sex. But, to tell the story from the beginning, one morning last week I found among my mall an Invitation from Sirs. Van 1). asking me to a cooking party.' I in stantly knew from the clever way in which the "bid" was got up that some thing unusual and nmusing was Immi nent. The function certainly proved to be all the bit of cardboard promised in the matter of novelty. Naturally you are devoured with curiosity as to how the invitation was sent out. Well. Miss Johnnie Bear. In the envelone ad dressed to your scribe was a bit of cardboard In the shape of a dish, in one corner of whieli was painted a chefs cap and In another the words "Come and cook with me, nine p. m., March seventh." Mrs. Van D.'s name and address were under this inscrip tion. On the evening mentioned I ap peared at the home of my hostess gowned lu a charming frock Mine. Jane she's the smart New York dress maker had Just sent me. Of course I'll have to tell you that the creation was a clinging affair of dull brownish rose crape. The only trimming on the bodice was an exquisite band of em broidery in tones of rose with higher lights than the nuance of the gowu material arranged in harness effect about the yoke. You know how a emi-emplre frock hangs from this har ness of embroidery, outlining the fig ure in a wholly fascinating fashion. Well, my frock was perfect lu its sar torial etiquette, nnd, what was more WALKING SUIT IN PAI.R OKAY BAJAU. Important, Dick said it was very fetch ing. Entre nous, the touch of bright rose net that made the yoke aud collar over a cloth of gold lining did the trick of becomlngness. But what miles I've strayed from the party. To return to our muttons, when the guests had all arrived five girls and as many men at Mrs. Van D.'s our hostess led us to the Btunnlngest kitchen 1 have ever seen. The servants had evidently been sent ont for the evening, for there was none of them In sight. And what a mess we made of that kitchen! Still, that's not part of my story. On two tables were rows of chafing dishes, substitutes for the kitchen range, and we were told to "get busy" aud pre pare the best dish suitable for the time and occasion In our dietary repertory. What a lot of bard thinking was done! Everybody helped everybody else, and there was lots of fun at the expense of Elizabeth Z., who couldn't make any thing but fudge. Then there was great sport when some one ran out of Ingre dients and Dick and Elizabeth had to run round to a little shop that hap pened to be open and supply the "missing link." Have I told you that over their evening dress the men wore white aprons and chefs' caps and that we girls put on the most bewitching lace headdresses and fantastic pina fores, as an English girl who was one of the guests, called our American apron. There were three prizes one for the most tasty contribution to the menu. A BURNT PARTY. March Hart Entertainment In Honor of 8mall Girl's Birthday. When the problem of entertaining In honor of a wee tot's birthday arises, nothing Is better to decide upon than a bunny party, particularly if the func tlon Is to take place in March. All children nre fond of these cute little animals, and they love to see them reproduced In favors and in the deco rations. At a recent bunny party small tables seating five each were used, and In place of the conventional tablecloth covers of white paper damask were employed. These paper covers are dainty and artistic and can be thrown nwny when the party Is over. Attrac tive favors were used at a bunny par ty described In Good Housekeeping. They were tissue paper caps, masks and boas, each rolled In a crape paper napkin, slipped in turn through an ornamental ring of cardboard which was covered with decorated crape pa per to match the napkin. A brilliant polnsettia design was chosen, and It Is very necessary to select a quality bearing a fast color guarantee In ur der thnt no stains may deface the pVetty party dresses. The place cards were adorned with the tiniest carrots, pumpkins, lettuces nnd radishes mod eled with minute perfection in tissue paper.- Babbits love vegetation and lit tle folks love noise, so horns were made for favors and prizes. The re quired number of pasteboard horns were purchased and an Investment made In tissue papers, tags, wires and a small tube each of glue and art paste. Around the mouth of each horn was fashioned a vegetable or fruit. Fum'iv klns, tomatoes nnd apples were stuffed with cotton and painted to look like the original. For holding the Ice cream baskets were made iu the form of heads of lettuce. . Babbit heads cut from enrd board were glued to the handles of the baskets where they looked mighty pert and saucy. Paper plates were used decorated with polnsettias cut from PUTTING LRTTUOX LEAF IN BUNNY'S MOUTH. the crape paper doilies. Each plate rested upon a mat comiosed of tissue lettuce leaves. In the center of each table, says Good Housekeeping, several horns were heaped, the arrangement being such that only the vegetable por tions were visible, and their real na ture was not disclosed until, upon a signal, each guest pulled a ribbon which had one end fastened to a horn and the other to one of the vegetable place cards,. ' Additional favors were dancing rab blfs, just grotesque enough to suggest the proverbial "madness" of the March hare. These were constructed In the same manner as the rabbit heads upon the lettuce baskets. They were glued to slender sticks, tissue wound and decorated with long tassels of glisten ing silver tinsel. Five of the sticks were wound with pumpkin yellow, five with lettuce green, aud others with polnsettia scarlet, the colors corre sponding with those of the ribbons at the respective tables. On the apex of each- mound of vegetables capered ti bunny slmllnr to those on the wand. The simple refreshments consisted or lettuce nnd chicken sandwiches, cream ed French peas served In ramekin cases, rnbblt shaped cookies covered with maple Icing nnd orange and choc olate Ice cream. Among the games that were played was an exciting at tempt to place a lettuce leaf In bunny's mouth, after tin.- well known fashion of pinning the tail on the donkey. The piecing together of homemade cut-up puzzles and readings from "Uncle Ite mus" filled the remainder of the time. . A Makeshift Pillow. "Don't choose that one," said the schoolgirl hostess as a classmate pick ed up a pillow gay with big red roses to tuck under her head. "That's my makeshift, and you might as well try to rest on the back of a porcupine as on that knobby thing." "What Is it stuffed wlth-corncobs?" asked the visitor. "I never felt any thing so lumpy." "They are convenient lumps that you will 'want to cultivate as soon as I let you Into my secret That Is my patch bag. Instead of eiderdown It has old letters, receipted bills, rolls of ma terial from my clothes that mother gave me for mending, extra balls of darning cotton and a couple of pieces of fancy work. "There was no place to store the ac cumulation of stuff that one can't help collecting, so I hit on the plan of stuffing a pillow with It "You see that case buttons along the tnd, and whenever I dont know where to put a thing that must be kept In It goes. I try to keep It underneath the ether pillows as a prop, but It Is al ways the first one selected. I advise yon to make yours with a lers attrac tive cover." , one for the most deplorable one nnd a third for an original dish Invented by the composer. Rivalry ran high for the possession of these prizes. Even the "booby" prize was coveted a perfectly charming hand bag of Irish lace over white suede and mount ed In gold. Mabel, your Utile Mabel, succeeded In annexing this bag, ami she's so proud of her cullnury failure that she's sketched the bag for you tu duplicate If you think It's worth while. The prize for originality was won by the Savarin of our set, Waldorf W.. nnd this uniateur chef was delighted with the Jeweled cigarette case Mrs. Van D. handed to him with the grace ful, remark that any Jeweler could make n cigarette case, but It took a genius to make a sauce. The credit for having originated these cooking pnrtles Is supposed to HUSH XiACB RAO WITH GOLD MOUNTING. rest wllh Lady Constance Stewart Blchardson, who has been doing Sa lomeor, I believe, this titled Eng lishwoman calls them Greek dances for charity affairs here In New York. Lady Constance, you know, is a great sportswoman In England. She has n strong strain of the Scotchwoman's Instinct for domesticity nnd Is an adept In making the cakes of her native country. And speaking of clever women re minds me of nn artistic friend who has paneled the hallway of her studio with nothing less than the sides, fronts and tailboards of the gayly painted carts used by Sicilian peasants. The spokes form the banister spindles, and they do make a gorgeous array of bar baric coloring. The rail was contrived of the shafts. As carved cherubs' heads, painted angels, mythological legends or Biblical subjects nre the chosen decorations of these hardwork ing sons of toll, few more attrac tive panellngs than these dismembered carts could be found. Not nt all In flie same class of deco ration, but n good practical Idea, was the unique framing of a man's picture In a small suede skin that 1 saw re cently. The Irregular edges nnd gen erally dog eared effect of the whole skin were very artistic. The girl who originated the Idea told me It was as easy as anything to make. She simply cut an opening In the center of the skin large enough to accommodnte the photograph, glued It In plnce and sten ciled a design around the picture. The suede used was of a pale tan color nnd the stenciling carried out In tones of brown that blended delightfully with the sepin tints of the photograph. But there Is no end of pretty effects to suit Individual pictures. Of course It would be desirable to have only one of these frames In a room, for a plethora of them would, transform an apart ment Into the appearance of the wig wam of Silting Bull (Is be alive or dead?), the great Indian chief, or a cor ner nt an arts nnd crafts exhibition. No matter how hard I try to avoid the subject of clothes in my letters to yon, Elsn, somehow, somewhere, this most Important of all feminine topics Is sure to crop out. This time It's- lu evidence becnuse I've bought a spring buK. Yes: I selected a one piece frock nnd coat suit of pale gray rajah. The princess frock has a lot of gray filet about the bodice, and the coatv is n rather odd affair, with the sleeves Jellied to the shoulders with Insets of gray lace. There is some fine hand embroidery In self color on the coat and skirt; otherwise the suit Is quite simple. Expensive simplicity Dick's going to find It. I'm afraid, when the bill comes in. Ever most sincerely yours, MABEL. A Card Index. "Absurd," declares many a house wife. "A card Index is all right for an office or a library, but when it comes to the home why. it is simply ridicu lous." , And yet this objection Is but the theory of housewives that have sunk In the rut of doing as their grand mothers and great-grandmothers did and usually not as well, for the dames of past generations generally bad en viable household systems. One of these sets of cards Is very Inexpensive, as Is also the small wood en box or cabinet in which to keep It. Or why not keep It In a desk drawer? If you have an index just for recipes, why not keep It In a drawer of the kitchen cabinet? Capital, by the way, for keeping re cipes! For example, It you have three or four recipes for rice pudding file them together. It Is so much more convenient than hunting through page after page in your) personally compiled cookbook or among a pile of slips of paper. - Splendid for keeping household ad dressesthose of dealers, employees and that sort of thing.
