My Dear Elsn Of all the fool func ¬

the most absurd I know that youwill ngreo with mo perfectly In thisopinion and I am also confident thatyou never heard of n 5 oclockserved In an American home with theJapanese flop stunt as nn accompani ¬

taining a few of her friends In thisunconventional nUll wholly uncomfortablo fashion As I am one of theelect or select It was my privilege tosample this latest addition to the al ¬

ready crowded list of freak feedsOur hostess excused tho enforced at ¬

titude of her guests upon the plea ofthe comfort and restfulness of the po ¬

sition Its so soothing to tho mind1 to sit on tho floor my dear she

Of course my coral broadcloth was amass of wrinkles when I escaped fromthat function and you remember whata love of a thing It Is and how Mme X°vas almost crazy because she had towalt so long to have tho braid andchiffon dyed to match tho cloth Thismatching fad of the season Is perfectlymaddening and there are occasionswhen ono wishes she had been born asavage so she could riot in a wildmedley of colors The dressmakersdyorsthisevidently not had a tip as to the farcored nuances of tho winter Conscquently after exhausting trips throughtho shops one Is obliged to resort totho chemical process or bo de modeTo return to our mutton the Van Scertainly does feed her animals allright and the cakes she handed withthe cup that cheersbrownies I thinkshe called them were great a concoc ¬
