Although dove parties have been in- troduced into society, and have enjoy- ed a qualified success during the winter, it is improbable that they will ever become popular. The fact of the matter is no party minus men is likely to be very entertaining. ’ Such parties are really very dull af- fairs,‘and it would be very wonderful if they were not. Sit down to lunch a party. of women, intentionally having excluded men, and what an absence of zest there is I Invitea number of friends, all fe- j male ones, to a tea, and your gather- ing will be as lamentably a failure, though all the women present should declare it is,I too sweet for words, as lamb without mint sauce, or' strawber- ries,without cream. I. I 1' ' Nature has so constituted the eternal feminine from, the beginning Of all things that, sneerat the trait. as the strongestjminded woman or" the most rigorously scrupulous old maid may, there it is, and there it will remain. , Of course, men can en‘jOy parties to which men only are asked. They have dene so for generations. but to go upon the‘hyphthesis that bec‘ali‘s'elm'en enjoy things women must‘jnatu‘rally like dc- ing them too is totally absurd. 'Men. and women are, broadly speak- ing, the very opposite of one another. The spirit of coquetry dominates every true woman— the innate desire to please man and fascinate him. ‘ That is why dove parties are so un- compromisingly dull—yvhy the laugh is orced, and the pleasure they afford merely stimulated because it is a fashionable craze that it is modish to copy and to pretend to like. . ~ . In reality, no woman can find herself one of a party of women without wish- ing that at least‘one man, even one miserable little, spiritless man, was there to leaven the undesirable loneli- mess of the position. For‘ Women without men do feel lonely. Even the end of the nineteenth century has not eliminated that essen- tial princip.e. M gurylleé 0/th3. Fieminine Chat. So few people are willing to forgive until after they get even. Swamp green alligator skin is the newest thing in leather goods. Swell men are wearing sailor hats, with dead white ribbon bands. Straw lamp shades promise to be in high‘favor this coming autumn. Some midsummer organdies have floral figures as large as one’s hand. ‘ Fishnet draperies are being exten- sively employed in seashore dwellings. If they do not think you are honest you pay down. If honest you pay up. The unique fans shown for this sum- mer’s using" extend even into the mourning Styles. The two qualities of food that appeal to the summer palate are coolness and crispness. Strawberry mousse is a delicio is dainty that on be easily made from the seasonable berry. A single line of tiny diamonds set in a gold Sifety pin is considered a very lovely belt guard. Until you have your pocket picked you will never understand that sink- ing SsflSILIOJ that is akin to seaswx DUSS. , Silks for bridesmaids’ gowns are now so cheap that a bevy of six lovely at- trnlants can be decked 'Out at very snfi-Lcost. The spikes of grass that were con- sidered so sznart on the early spring ' millinery are not seen on the very mod; ish summer styles. Why is it that the china. closet that instsuits you is always in price about twenty-five dollars more than you can afford to give? Black dots that have a way of trans- ferring themselves to one’s counten- ance these sticky days lead one to fight shy of the cheap veil. Don’t make the mistake of asking for lemon seltzer when you want lemon and seltzer. If you do you will think you have ordered medicine.
