The Assembly ball one of the tlmea when the new gowna rlgvj t worn and' shown off to good advantage. It was a happy thought on the part of those who were getting up the party ta have the great floor of the Propylaeum covered with canvas for the party. The rewns looked exceedingly well with the n-iite for a background and the decorations of green and white for a frame. Miss ShJpp's reception Tuesday afternoon was a delightful affair, and was the occasion fcr the young: women interested In the woman's edition to talk over the unusual event of limning a paper for a day. Mr. and Mrs. James Twlname celebrated their silver anniversary Monday evening. Mr a. Fred Parvin Ilerron gave a pink chrysanthemum tea Friday at her new home on yorth Pennsylvania street. Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Ogle gave a children's party Friday for their children, Afred and Janle Ogle, with about one hundred children in attendance. Mr. and Mrs. Kah, of North Meridian etreet, celebrated the eleventh anniversary cf their marriage Tuesday evening by giving a larre dinner party. The weddings of Mr. R J. T. Jeup and Miss Emma Dithmer, Mr. Karl Oxden Matlock and Miss Leila hlce and Miss Elizabeth Newell Todd and Sir. Samuel Davidson Murphy, of Eutaw, Ala., occurred Wednesday. The first reception and hop of the Iaw School took place Tuesday everlng. The Matinee Musicale was Interested In the sons: recital of Miss Lillian IJIauvflt, of New York. In addition there 'was Thanksgiving day, and never has there been a more general observance cf the day. There were scores of family parties and theater parties. There have been numerous small entertainments, and the last of the week ha3 been marked hy a rush of Invitations for all kinds of gatherings and not a few of them are for weddings. Women are going to another extreme in the matter of dress and this Is in the matter of arranging the neck. For some time r,ow the style has been chokers. The chokers will remain, but the Elizabethan ruff is coming In. For two or three seasons there have been no ruffles in ' the neck and sleeves; the new style la to have bipr ones. The head must be set in tho frill of white and the hands framed with tte same. Pictures seen make the women lock like a kind of pigeon which has a frill of feathers. With -me puffs going down to the elbows on sleeves, tne neck encased In ruffs, there Is some dittlculty in finding- a wrap. The coats are Impossible with the sleeves, and capes impossible with the necks. The wrap genius will have to appear in order that the women of fashion rhall have something to wear around her these cold winter days. A young woman of North Meridian street declares that she will not get married untlK the railroads have a new time table.- She wishes to be married In the evening and go East. She does not wish to have to wait till 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning, but desires to get out of town at a reasonable hour, so she has made up her mind that the time table will: have considerable influence on her as to whether she gets married or not. As the young woman has numerous callers and never tacks for company to anything to which she may be invited It is altogether probable that time tables will not mar her prospects of happiness when the time comes. A popular young lady, who is Invited to ever so many entertainments in the course of the season, has declared, against going; Into the- ClnJrjg. room unless it be to a luncheon or dinner. She thinks that the idea of drinking hot-tea, coffee or choco-r late and then taking : an ice which is as cold as the other is hot is something awful. The mixture one dnds on the luncheon or dinner table Is enough to ruin one's powers of eating as well as the enjoyment of it. For her part, she is going to limit her refreshments to one or the other, and rot both. Added to the hot drink and the cold Ice there Is the beverage known by the name of punch, which is more or less acid. She recalls with horror a day she went to a reception and was given some kind of preparation with whipped cream over it, and when the two ran together in the bottom of the cup they were all curdled. She U a hot-tea or coffee woman for the winter from now on. A party of ladles were talking "dress" and recalling experiences. One said: "I had a terrible time one evening when I went to Mrs. J.'s party. There were, ever so many women in the dressing room and I did not get a chance to get near, the mirror. I wore my hair in curl papers. I took off my things and got Just to the door about to enter the parlor, when some one told me my hair was still up. I beat a hasty retreat." Another one said: "My worst experience was going to church one day with my bonnet on hlndslde before. I went home and. looking in the glass, saw it. I asked my husband why he had not told me and he said he never notloed it was wror.p he supposed that was the style." A third . recaKei the time when she went to the theater without her back hair and discovered the fact, during the second act. Her escort would not let. her go out an J so she rat there, but she has no idea what the play was. Personal and Society. Mr. John Iluddleston. of Knoxville, Tenn., is visiting friends in the city.
