SOCIETY .
COTILLION AT GUARD’S HALL.
Delightful Entertainment Given by
the lliirmonle Club.
A delightful opening to the Har
monie Club's season of gayety was the
oojtllion last evening at the Guards’
Hall. American flags formed the chief
decoration, and their bright colors add
ed much to the beauty of the scene.
All the high windows of the hall were
curtained with and white bunt
ing. The galleries were hidden under
draperies of the Stars and Stripes, and
smaller flags were thrust between their
railings and were grouped In a cluster
above the central chandelier. The ef
fect was patriotic, 'bright, and pretty
and when the dancers, In their light
gowns, were 'gathered on the floor
below, the scene was most attractive.
Mr. G. L. Kayt-'i led the cotillion,
Introducing many original figures.
There were a number of favor figures
during the evening, many odd and
pretty trifles being distributed. A
very amusing figure was the first. Pa
per hats of all sorts of sizes, shapes
and colors were given to the dancers,
some wonderfully becoming, all very
comical and ‘bizarre. With these on,
the soene took on a fantastic aspect,
and the young people were afforded
any amount of fun.
Particularly attractive was the car
nival figure. Strings of confetti were
given out. A network of cords, in
star shape, had been arranged just be
low the chandelier in the center of
the hall, and over this, as the dancers
passed beneath it, the confetti was
thrown, falling in a shower about
them.
Supper was served during the even
ing in the company rooms on the first
floor, i The same scheme of decora
tion as in the hall prevailed here, the
fables being adorned with small Amer
ican flags.
A large number of guests were pres
ent during the evening, and some
charming gowns were worn. Among
the younger girls wa* Miss Eunice
Lippman, who was gowned In blue silk,
or three shades, with an over drapery

said, “what is the meaning of Thanks

beaming with delight, expecting her to

Sadness was evident in the counte

off very pleasantly for the younger

by the older folks. One of the at
tractive little figures at the Mother

Little Miss Dinkins delighted the chil
dren and the older guests, as well by

a neat sum was realized.

Mrs. George Dieter.
THE POMPADOI'H WILL NOT DIE.
The pompadour's knell has been
sounded, but it will not die. It Is too
becoming. The pompadour, properly
dressed, gives a girl an air of distinc
tion. Very few faces can stand hair
demurely parted In the middle and
knotted low on the nape of the neck.
One of the most pleasing compromises
shows the rat removed from the pom
padour and the front hair Marcelled
just as if the rat were to be used. It
is then parted on the side, then the
hair is drawn back lightly and knotted
on the nape of the neck, but not too
low.
Sometimes no part appears, but the
pompadour, minus the rat. Is waved in
three puffs. These puffs are not tight,
but the finger or comb is run through
them to secure a light, fluffy, waved
effect. One puff is drawn down slight
ly over the forehead, and the other
two run back from the temples, or, the
three puffs run around the brow like a
frame, fluffed and waved So that they
practically overlap each other. With
this dressing of the pompadour the
hair may be worn In a flat figure
eight on top of the head, or the wav
ing may continue over the crown and
back of the head and be caught in
with the back hair in a figure eight
on the nape of the neck. This figure
eight should not extend below the
Junction of the collar with the gown.
TRAINED NIiHSES FOR PET DOGS.
In a recent issue of a periodical de
voted to exclusive dogdom the mana
ger of a New York sanitarium for dogs
advertises for voung women who will
devote six months to training as nurses
for pet dogs. He declares there is
money in it. Experience has taught
him that women of means will pay
almost as much for a trained nurse for
their pet dog or cat as they will for
personal nursing. What less wealthy
persons might consider ridiculous ex
travagance they look upon as humun
-1 tartan ism.
After six months in the sanitarium
the probationers will be subjected to
an examination on the anatomy and
medicine of doggery. Certificates of
graduation will be given to them the
same as horse doctors.
The Dogs’ Protection League has
given Its support to the cause, and
suggests that the nurses wear a blue
serge uniform, with D. P. L. in red
letters on the sleeves.

THE V Aid 1 E PE CHARCOAL.
F>w People Know How Virfiil It Is
In Preserving Health and Reauty.
Nearly everybody knows that char
coal Is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier In nature, but
few realize Its value when taken into
the human system for the same
cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of It the better; It is net a
drug at all. but simply absorbs the
gases and Impurities always preseut

Charcoal sweetens the breath after

AFTER THE THANKSGIVING
DINNER—WHAT?
How the Young People May Be
Auiused While Their Elders Talk.
In the case of a large Thanksgiving
gathering, the hours which follow di
rectly on the heels of dinner present
a problem for the hostess. Naturally,
the elder guests prefer to sit quietly
and chat about family affairs which
have arisen since the last annual
gathering; but not so the young peo
ple, who desire more attractive forms
of entertaining. The wise hostess will
plan amusements for the children and
young people, so that their elders may
be left in peace for an hour's conver
sation.
As soon as the dining room Is clear
ed of all signs of the feast it can be
changed into a play room, and some
older girl should be elected as mis
tress of ceremonies and should plan
the games so that the children are
;Amused quietly until the elaborate
dinner has been digested.
A pleasing little contest for children
Is laid out on kindergarten lines. Two
bowls, one containing big white pop
corn kernels, and the other cranber
ries, are placed at their disposal, with
a supply of toothpicks, threads and
needles. The children are then re
quested to make some article or dec
orative design in the white kernels
and the red berries, it is remarkable
how quickly the children will seize
upon the idea and what fetching little
ornaments they will produce. Tooth
picks, run with cranberries and joined
at the corners with pop corn, will
make a frame to lay flat on the table,
and Inside of this a child will block
out a picture in red and white; or,
strung on the thread, they can be
wrought into red and white tassels,
balls and odd-shaped ornaments, such
as are seen on Christmas trees.
Half an hour will pass quickly at.
such work, and then a committee of
the older guests can puss upon tlie
results and award a prize to the most
FkilUful worker. This prize should
suggest Thanksgiving Day, and Inex
pensive little favors are shown in the
form of boxes of candy, with a Puri
tan maiden standing on the box as
on a pedestal. This Is merely a doll
dressed in Puritan garb, generally In
crepe paper.
The second game is a trifle more
active, and Is merely a variant of the
old game of pinning a tall on the
donkey. In this case a sheet Is fast
ened against the wall and cm It is
drawn or pinned a representation of a
turkey. A turkey, drawn in colored
crayons and then cut out and pasted
carefully on the sheet, gives the best
effect. In the old donkey game a tail
was provided and did service for all
the players, but for the turkey game
the housewife may provide real turkey
feathers, saved from the gobbler
which was served at dinner. Each
child is given one of these feathers
and a long pin; then, blindfolded, he
is started toward the sheet In search
of a proper place to pin the feather.
If the paper turkey has been pasted
on the sheet it Is a comparatively
easy matter for a blindfolded person
to feel around until the 'bird Is dis
covered. but it is not so easy to find
the exact spot on which the tall feath
ers should be pinned. Asa result,
when all have taken a turn, the tur
key Is liable to have tails sprouting In
every direction, which of itself will
create fun.
The mistress of ceremonies must
keep track of the game and award
the prize, which can be a papier
mache turkey, filled with small can
dles. rt> the child whose feather strikes
nearest the mark.
For the third game, start the chil
dren In search of cranberries which
have been hidden all over the room.
For this purpose provide each child
with a small basket of wicker or crepe
paper, and have the cranberries hidden
before the guests arrive behind orna
ments, in the crevices of the table
legs, behind pictures, on the upper
sashes of the window—ln any place
which will tax childish wit and Inge
nuity. When the voyage of discovery
is over the cranberries can be count
ed, and a small prize, such as a crepe
paper basket, fillet! with crimson-coat
ed Jordan almonds, can be awarded to
the child who has found the most
berries.
By this time the heavy dinner will
be pretty well digested, and the chil
dren will be glad to go for a run out
of doora.
