down-dropped eyes is a part of the past. The
giddy whirl has commenced oneo moro and ,
nlthough the pace Is not yet quick enough to
turn one's head , the week has been reason
ably full of engaging pastimes. A resume
will show dances enough to please the heels
withal , cards to win now honors and prizes
withal , an occasional luncheon or dinner to
encourage conversation wise and otherwise
withal , a cohweh parly full of golden oppor
tunities for the younger married denies to don
Easter feathers and liellower themselves to

A Cobweb Party.
Mrs. 1'ritehett's entertainments are a boon
to society , so sure are they to hnvo the charm
of novelty , llnish and the congeniality that is
brought about by a thoroughly tactful hostess.
Ilei'cobweb party Friday afternoon , when
slio extended her courtesy to the young mar
ried women , was no exception to the rule nad
was decidedly the social function of the week.
The charming house was an Intricate maze
of parti-colored webs. "Up stairs , down
stall's , In my lady's chamber" went gaily
nressed women In their pretty efforts to un
tangle the apparently hopeless confusion of
rainlKiw threads. The effect was that of a
IlrUI in a summer's morning where the dew
on tlie spiders' webs lias caught thesuiibeanis
and turned thorn alt to prlsnmtio beauty. The
dilTeivnco In favor of Friday's web was that
it had the appearance of being tilled with
butterllles , making graceful , pretty struggles
to get free and only Jlndlng themselves as
closely bound ns the Lady of Shalott.
After an hour or two of effort , interspersed
with bright talk and an exchange of confl-
denccs brought about by enforced propin
quity Miss Lynch , In whoso honor the party
was given , Mrs. Kollins and Mrs. llrock suc
ceeding In freeing their colors , the
other * following quickly. Alter this u largo
square of black tlssuo paper , on which was
n five hand drawing of u ruthcrubortlvollght-
house was placed In ttio library and little
Hags were put in the hands of the guests.
U'hojo they were expected to place us near as
invisible to the apex of the tower , being blind
folded meanwhile. The attempts * were ridic
ulously funny , many of tlie women seeming
to lose all Idea of direction Immediately
fielr eyes were covered and Blabbing
the opiwslto sides of the rooms with their
tings In a wild search for the tlssuo archi
tecture , Thrco prizes were reserved for the
Bucecssful decorators.
Another point of light in the afternoon's
; ky wai Homo delightful music. Mrs.
Ixyo ami Mrs. T , J. Uogers sang
mid Mrs. Hitchcock played charmingly.
U heir amiability was rewarded by each ro-
celvliif u hugo buuch of roses , Later , lunch.
con was announced , the dining room was
thrown open and an attractive table disclosed
to view. American beauty roses und some
little violet baskets llllod with bonbons con
stituted the color. Mrs. Kiclmrdson and Mi's.
Yntes served the coITeo and chocolate and all
imaginable dainties to tempt the uncertain
appetite of n spring day were served , topped
oIT by some of the hostess' famous punch.
Another opportunity for a prize was of
fered hens in drawing slips of paper on let
tuce leaves , with quotations , and giving the
guests an opportunity of guessing the au
thors. Then came tliO awarding of prizes
eight or nine in number , consisting of dainty
little cups and saucers of Hoyal Worcester
china , a little llowered bouillon cup , an ex
quisite white and gold plate and a copy of
Emerson's verses beautifully bound.
The fortunate guests of the afternoon were :
.Mi's. I'attcrson , Mrs. Carrier , Mrs. IVck ,
Mis. Nye , Mi's. Brock , Mrs. Kelhtr , Mrs.
Oeuel , Mrs. Holllns , Mrs. Funklmiisor , Mrs.

Tuesday's Dance.
On Tuesday evening a charming subscrip
tion dance was given at Washington hall ,
the prime movers in the affair being Mr.
Frank Hamilton and Mr. Arthur Onion , and
the guests for the most part the members
of the winter's cotillion. The skies , April-
wise , conspired against the young revellers ,
the rain pouring down in such tor
rents that had they been younger
and moro dependent upon frills they
ardor would have been materially dampened.
However youth's elasticity rose superior to
the opened Hood gates and the moisture
merely served to make the lights , the music
and the warm scented air Indoors the more in
viting. The humidity added a now sparkle
to tlie eyes and u softer glow to the cheeks ,
with double danger to the happy young man
who merely retained reusnn ; enough to keep
rythmio step while they Hew over the floor
with their lovely partners.
There were fourteen dances and two extras
to innko up for the deprivation during the
gruv stillness of lenten time. Punch was
available during the evening us an encourug-
mont to the untiring valsenso.
There were some stunning new gowns , and
some that although known by heart were
pretty and becoming.
Miss Sherwood looked very handsome In a
white silk gown en tralne. Dowered with
pink and green posies and trimmed with pink
and green ribbons.
Miss Forepangh was bewitching In a deeo-
letto white lace gown trimmed with white
ribbons. A little turquoise star nit her fore
head called attention to her pretty rianto face
and soft hair.
Miss Bessie Yates , Miss Margaret Will-
lams , Miss Bernard , Miss Ludington and
Miss Yost woiv pink ; Miss AIcKonna , pink
and white ; Miss Orchard , Miss Clara Brown ,
Miss Chambers and Miss Nash were gowned
in white , Miss Dewey In given , Miss Carter
In yellow , Miss Dixon , Miss Wilson , Miss
McCllntock and Miss Loimilin in black.
The clnniorones were Mr. wid Mrs. Meday ,
Mr. and Mrs. AV. 1'oppleton , and Mr. mid
Mrs. Wheeler.
Tlie men wore : Messrs ) . Barlow , Coles ,
Hall , Doaue , Gnlou , F Hamilton , Hull , Hor-

Tlio Kntro Noun Dnnuc ,
Washington hall was brightened again on
Wednesday evening by the gay party of men
and women who during the winter have
culled themselves the Kntro Nous club.
This was tha occasion of their last dance of
the season , and the memory of many similarly
delightful evenings gave this a rclloctlvo as
well as u present pleasure. The muslo was
Inspiring , the lloor , ns always , admirable , and
the supper n satisfactory feature of the even
ing. Altogether the nllulr was an Incontesta
ble argument In favor of reorganizing for
another winter. Among the guests of the

joyable high-live party on Thursday evening
at their handsome residence , 1U3 South
Twenty-tlfth avenue. High-live was tlie

desirable and lining. The playing progressed
with interest until a call to something else
opened the eyes of the guests to the nnlqno
feature of a course dinner , admirably served
by Bnldrtff.
'
'Toasts offered opportunities to introduce in
the more serious conversation , badinage
persitlngo and all manner of keen encounters
of wit while the very complete menu was the
occasion of any amount of compliment.

MISS Aluiitalini ) of opening u Imircutung
saloon for gentlcnn-n. anil having a trained
urm.v of ladj hairdressers to wait upon tln-m ,
says the Pall Alall Gazette. There is no doubt
that a staff of lady haircntters would attract
customers. There Is no reason at nil why
women should not bo employed to "barber"
men. Women barbers are largely employed
to cut women's hair , and n man's hair is eas

will they get their experience now that Bar-
mini's bearded lady has left England. The
popular theory Is that the youthful barber
gets his hand In on a sheep's head. But then
sheep's heads are expensive , and even sink
