War sounded the knell of the forma!
luncheon, and Jarge bridge parties
seem to be tilings of the Npast. The
most informal style of enteaiing is
now the rule. The only large affairs
which are to be found on the social
calendar are those given for the bene
fit of the Red Cross or the war relief
fund. Two bridge parties of this sort
wm De given this week.
On Thursday afternoon a benefit
bridge and 5 o'clock tea will be given
.at the home of Mrs. John S. Brady
under the auspices of the Monday
club. This little club, which is com
posed of the young society matrons,
has been meeting together every
ft;eek for the purpose of making "body
binders." The proceeds of the affair
will be us.d to fit out Christmas boxes
tor the soldiers in the trenches. The
women do not plan to send neces
sities, but the little trifles that the
soldiers consider luxuries and enjoy
so much.
The Turner Park Red Cross unit
will give an afternoon and evening
bridge and bazar on Frnday at the
Fontenelle.
Mrs. F. J. Bette will have charge of
the card parties, assisted by Mrs. A.

Furs Are Not Merely
Sk ins, B ut Wraps with
Individuality and Style
When one tries to think of a word
to describe the new furs which have
blossomed out this fall the only word
we can command is "sumptuous."
This may be a queer word to apply to
furs, but with the warm, golden
brown sables; the lovely, blue black
fox; the soft, gray chinchillas, and
tlt smooth sealskins that confront
the passriby in the shop windows
and on the streets this adjective just
seems to suit.
The marked characteristic of the
season's iurs are their extreme
length. The slender tigurc i espe
cially well adapted to the long .scarfs
which reach to the knee and can be
wrapped aiolnnl the figure iu such a
graceful way. The stout woman, how
ever, is not forgotten, for the smart
little neckpieces shown iu so many of
the shops are especially adapted tc
the full figure.
The fur capes also command our
attention, as they are particularly
beautiful. A cape of sealskin slides
into little sleeves in the rear and is
belted into the waist in the front,
forming a semi-coat. Another stun
ning model in sealskin is finished
with spacious pockets of squirrel, jo
that milady needs no muff to protect
her hands from the biting winds. The
Kolinsky and sable capes have the
long stole ends iu front, which are
worn thrown over one shoulder.
In fact, to attain the maximum of
smartness one must be enveloped in
one's furs. As the season progresses
one will have difficulty in recognizing
even our most intimate friends, for
there will probably be nothing but
their eves visible.
