Now that the cotillion Reason Is nhortly to
be Inaugurated , It may not be out of place to
review Home of the new figures that will bo
danced this year by the swells of New York ,
Xoston nnd Philadelphia.
The cotillon Is thu fin tie slcclo dance , and
no wonder , for It can bo managed to suit
Cvcry age , taste nnd home ,
Tlio fnvors may be mere trifles , a vin
aigrette , for Instance , or costly gifts a
bouquet holding a Jewel in Its heart The
figures for the gcrmnn , however , arc more
difficult to arrange than nre the gifts. The
ono who Invents a new figure Is usually re
garded as n benefactor to the -world the
world of dancers. ,
The bell figure Is an amusing ono , which
can be gotten up without any previous ar
rangement beyond providing a small hand
belt.
belt.A
A , chnlr Is placed In the middle ot the room ,
on which Borne cavalier takes Ms scat , bell
In hand. This he rlngi at Intervals , till
some lady comes up to Invite him to dance.
Ono youth , whose pitlcnce vvas tried by being
left to toll the bell too long a time , finally
settled the matter by sel.nfig tha boll with
both hands and clanging away with such force

Women rushed up to urge their hands upon

rasslng wealth of choice A flute or a
tie may be substituted for the bell ,

iduced at a ball given by the March-
as ot DiilTcrln , but has never been at-
itcd at any cotillon given In this conn-
It , however , can only be successfully

Jn the pyramid figure ten ladles stand
the center ot the room ; four In the first
jc. three In the next , then two , then one.
fyre should be a space of two feet between
' ' * m. In and out of this twines a line of
ft , dozen men , hand In hand. When the
leader claps his hands each seizes the lady
of his choice and dances with her.
The door figure Is one which requires some
previous arrangement , although not nn
elaborate amount. Light doorways made of
laths of wood nailed together In shape like
tissue paper , each door having a different
the framework of n door are covered with
color in order to make the scene as gay
as possible. These are placed at Intervals
down the middle of the room and held In
position by two of the company. The
dancers then waltz down the room , rushing
through each of the delicate obstacles In
turn.
The moit effective- striking figure should
always be reserved for the concluding one.
The snow fall figure Is very suitable for
this purpose , indeed , for obvious reasons ,
it must come at the end of the evening.
A number of balls Riled with tiny frag
ments of white paper and covered with tis
sue paper ore thrown at a given signal into
the air and fall In a shower of snow , through
which , at the magic word "cotillon , " all
dance.
For Uie auction figure six rosettes -with
numbers are given to the ladles. The auc
tioneer requ'rcs six bonbonnleres , numbered
nnd filled with sweets , and a gavel. Six
ladles choose twelve gentlemen and the auc
tion begins. The bonbonnleres are sold
one after another to the highest bdder. no
gentleman being allowed to buy more than
one. After the
sale the bonbonnleres are
presented to the ladles whose numbers cor
respond. The men who have been unable
to secure boxes of sweets hav * to with
draw while the rest conclude the figure with
a dance.
The rhyming figure Is extremely unpopular
with the man , who has no poetry In his soul.
A lady Invites a gentleman to danco. If
ho cannot respond In rhyme on the instant
she pauses to another , and so on until some
embryo poet Is dlcovcred , This figure Is
the opportunity or otherwise for the
"mute , Inglorious Mlltoni , " with which the
world Is generally supposed to be well sup
plied.
The mariner's compass Is a charming fig
ure , somewhat similar to the ever popular
May pole. To a high polo Is attached the
* S dial ot a large compass made of painted
cardboard , to which arc tied eight or thirty-
two long variegated ribbons , on each of
which Is Inscr'bed one of the thirty-two
points of the compass. This cord is soon
surrounded by cavallera wearing as a badge
a miniature compass held with a colored
S3 rosette ; behind this ring a second one is
S3I formed by the young women , who each
I catch hold of n ribbon , at the end of which
* Is attached some pretty tritle as a gift.
k They then turn around , but In an opposite
direction to the men , until suddenly , at a
kr kr word from the leader , the double circle is
r
broken , when the players divide In couples
r every one showing a different shade : then
follows the waltz.
r A word about favors. Sachet bags , bon-
t bonnlores. powder puffs , fans , whips , to
bacco poucues in fancy shades , ribbons
strung with silver bells , these are dainty
trifles procured without too great expense.
Long shepherds' crooks of pure silver , band
screens of lace and ivory , beautiful fans of
long ostrich plumes with handles of carved
mother of pearl , cut glass vases ore also
very charming as gifts , but as Mrs. Car-
lylos maid would say , "very expensive. "

vanced from the pastor's study , nrd the short
jut Impressive ceremony was pronounced.
The brldo was beautifully gowned In dotted

roses , on a table where the wedding : cakes
were cut by the brldo and bridesmaid
Dainty refreshments were served , and In one
corner under a graceful palm vvas a bowl ot
delicious fruit punch. In a sldo room the

The < ; < > Ic'il ISurll Club.
Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Van Brunt of 2GIO
Poppleton avenue very handsomely enter
tained the- members of this club on Hal
low o'cn. The usual typical spread of the
club was temporarily dispensed with , am
viands quite- appropriate to the occasion
were provided. The house was handsome ! )
decorated with various agricultural products
that are commonly Indispensable on sucl
occasions. The evening until II o'clock
was spent In. various enjoyable methods
HUltablo to- - the company and entirely wlthou
formality. At 11 o'clock a most bountlfu
supper was served of the New Enplane
character , and after supper , after a series
of toasU were appropriately responded to
Mr. R , C. Baughman , In a very felicitous
speech , tendered his resignation us presl
dent. "Mr. "
Baughraao said that "he was
constrained to give up the weighty cares o
olflce on account ot the club requiring from
him what was almost beyond his capacity
nnd further , that applications from frlendi
to join the. club had been so many and as
he had been obliged to decline many on
account of the fear that they could cot sue
cessfully pass the Initiation , ho felt that he
waa no Monger equal to the burden o
olllce. " Jn responding to this Dr. Ulckln
son cited the case at the Greek philosopher
Dlogonoa , looking nbout Jhe streets of Athen
In noon tlmo with a lantern , who upon
being questioned for his strange actions
said : "I am looking to- find , and I doubt I
I can , the marvel of mankind , a man. '
The doctor said that In Bftarchlng for t
president of the club that the man had been
found , a man of weight , of the
proper height , depth and capacity , am
further it vvas shown that JIB via
willing to surrender the honors of olllce
something unusual for an olllce holder , am
which was evidence that ho'Vas n "man" In
every respect. In seconding the motion fa
the nomination of Mr. Van Brunt he statei
that "he had watched the Earnest endeavor
of Mr. Van Brunt to mnko himself worthy
of Iho office of president and had at time :
marveled at his patience and had admire.
his sacrifices , and that lie took pleasure-
seconding his motion because It ha had no
proved himself capable that he was at leas
making n strenuous effort to be worthy o
thu ofllce. " Mr. Van Brunt , In accepting
the presidency , pledged himself not only t
nerve the club to the beat ot "his capacity , '
but to retire from office the moment that I
was found that ho was not nble to- fill th
position to the honor and credit ot the club
The- balance of the evening was spent In
a. most enjoyable manner , and , as a matte
ol tact , WM enjoyable until the first boor o
mornlnff.which had long panted before the
members were willing to depart Tor their
vrn homes , which they did -with many re
grets and irlth pleasant anticipations ot the
next meeting of the club , which will bo In

Monetary Scli-nrn nt llin ITpUy CIuD.
Tha economic section at the Unity club
eld Its first meeting for the year Friday
venlng , the subject for consideration being
'Primitive ' Money. " Mrs. Ella. D. Perrlno
ead a carefully prepared nnd instructive
taper on "Emergence From the Barter
Stage nnd What It Signifies ; " Prof. II. P.
iewls gave a lucid exposition ot "Tho Na-
ure and Functions of Money as Illustrated
iy Its Origin , " while "Early Systems of
Jurrcncy" were treated at length by Hev.
V. M. Mann. The discussion following' the
apcra was participated In by Messrs. Kll-
> atrlck , Wallace , Gould , Stebblns , Newman ,
and others. At the opening ot the. meeting
he director of the section , Mr. Charles 8.
joblngler , outlined Its purpose nnd pros-
icctlve work In part as follows :
We gcgln tonight the second year's work
of the Economic section ot this club. Our
course last year consisted of B study of the
ilstory of Political Economy , -with the aim
if learning something of Its leading princi
ples , by understanding how and when find
.hrough whom they Brat came to be fonnu-
ated. Having thus In our initial year's
vork obtained a general vle\v ol the field to
vlilcli this section IB devoted , n course In one
f Its special departments ought to follow ,
Of all these specialties , monetary science
appears to be the most fitting sequel to a
general course In Economics. Monetary
robletnj form the oldest , broadest and near
est subject in political economy today. We
are but following the historical order dis
closed In the development of economic
iclence ns a whole , when we pass from a
study of Its general principles to the special
lubject ot money. This , too , was the order
ibserved by the pioneers In the science
\rlstotle , who Is probably entiled to be
called the first political economist , In addl-
ton of his general knowledge of the subject ,
; .ive special attention to money , and his
deas regarding Its nature and functions arc
singularly clear and modern. Among the
first fruits of the renewed Interest In eco
nomic studies , which accompanied the general
revival of learning at the close of the Mld-
llo Ages , was the treatise of Nicholas
Orcsme on money , and though written in the
ourteeiith century , it anticipated much of
he best thought of the .nineteenth. In
England , long before the appearance of the
'Wealth of Nations , " numerous treatises on
money had been published , and one ot the
most Important principles of the science
ho so-called Greslmm's law had been clearl )
tated , earlier even than the ago of Ellztbeth
Money , too. Is the most cosmopolitan of
conomlc subjects It commands today the
vldest Interest In every clvillze-I country ,
and its pre-eminence ns a , world problem ie
ttested by the assembling of three Interna-
lonal monetary conferences within le-js than
a generation. Finally the practical Import
ance of the subject Is. probably exceded b >
no other of which Political Economy treats
Differing upon almost every other point con
cerning It. men are substantially agreed that
a policy founded upon correct Ideas regarding
noney is e sentlal to the welfare , both of
lie Individual nnd of society These are
some of the reasons for the adoption of our
irasent cour.'e of study.
The methods of conducting our work will
lot differ much from those of last year. The
nore Important mcnetary topics will be
reated In papers to be read before the club ,
ind the order In which these will be pre
sented Is itself designed to be historical , to
that they may Illustrate the evolution of
money as an Institution , while discussing the
> roblems which It now presents. We shall
iced the co-operation of all members In our
study ot thU theme. Those who have given
t most thought recognize It as Intricate and
complicated ; Its Importance Is nowhere de-
iled. Yet the opportunities for a study of
tare far from satisfactory. There ought to be
na place where a subject of this magnitude
may be studied scientifically , free from par-
Isan rancor and exaggeration ; where Its
many-sided questions may bo Investigated
upon their merits , and where the chief object
shall be not the establishment ef a theory ,
> ut the discovery of truth. If this club shall
afford even the beginnings of .such an oppor-
unlty , our winter's work will not liave been
a failure.

pretty nearlr made up by the Issuance ot

On account of the evcnlnc course of Instruc

will be noted this month. Lively Interest Is
belnK shown In the gymnasium , especially by

RHEUMATIC TWINGES
Dr Humphrey's statement last week that
Rheumatism Is caused by Uric Acid Jn the-

The Idea that the Imperfect nctlon of the
kidney * VVGH the real cause nnd thnt the
use of No J& opened the clogged ducts ,

To sideboard or not to nldeboard that li
the question today with hundreds of hesitat
ing and longing purchasers.
Hero , for example , Is nn Illuitratlon of
what are trying lo inako clear. We are
telling this Sideboard for 20 per cent loa
than we could manufacture It today. Such
figures cannot long continue. The fnrnltura
depression Is over ; reasonable price * must
soon be revived. In the meantime , however ,
there are great values here for the money ,
Notice some novel features of these new
fall goods. The upper aliolf has a raised
center section , following tha curve of tha
mirror beneath.
This is one of the ecventy-flve ttyloi of
Sideboards wa are showing.
