Although women can practice as barristers in Norway, they are not allowed to preach. The English barmaid soon grows old, says Mrs. Bernard Drake. Some times she is old at 25. She ii gen erally too old at 30. Miss Eleanor "Whyte, who has died in her 91st year, was one of the pioneers of women's trade unions in England. The Queen of Rumania's motto is: I know no happiness except the performance of duty, no other joy but the love of the beautiful, 'no con solation but hard work." Philadel phia Record. ABOUT MEN.

She wears herd rather long, and London jewelers are therefore making pendants the thing. Sir Charles Waldstein thinks it pos sible that fashion in women's dress may yet lead to the wearing of bells and castanets. Fashionable men and women now go in evening dress to the cinerrjito graph shows in the West End. Beetroot and bottlegreen are des ignated as the chosen colors of the spring of 1914. The New Young Man, described as the -super-nut," appeared in Picca dilly the other day wearing a slit trouser. A new trouser-skirt has been de signed to permit freedom of move ment on the golf course. The hat is worn at an entirely new angle. It slopes right down to the eye.s, from the top of the coiffure. The back of the head is shown, lor the hat is turned completely up. ELIZABETH ALUMNAE BANQUET The banquet of the Elizabeth Col lege alumnae is to be held Saturday evening at 6:30 at the country club.

Scores its Most Artistic and Most Charming Triumph in Fete Held Yesterday After noon and Night on Hutchison Lawn. With onp accord everyone said that the May rete given by the Extension Chapter of the Y. W. C. A. yesterday afternoon and last-night on Mr. and Mrs. D. P. Hutchison's lawn on North Tryon street, was the most beautiful fete ever given, not only by the Chapter but by any organization in the city. The lawn, a broad, beautiful expanse of half a square, with towering elms, beautiful flowers and cozy nooks of greenery one called by some little folks who play therein, "Robin Hood Lodge" is an ideal place, in fact there is no more beautiful lawn in Charlotte for a fete champetre. Occu pying the northwest corner of Tryon and Ninth, with equal frontage on both, terranced, and fenceless, a beauti ful spot in toe very prettiest part of Charlotte, the yard furnishes just the setting tor a fete with lovely girls in gala attire as the hostesses and a bevy of children. Mother Goose and her family as assistant attractions to hold high carnival in. The Chapter members had been busy for days, lengthening into weeks, plan ning and arranging the details of the fete. Bowers, Gipsy tents, and various floral booths were placed here and there on the lawn on the south lawn, a long arbor covered with wire net ting which was ladened with wisteria and lilies; on the center lawn, a yellow rose bower where candy was sold; under a big evergreen, whose boughs almost touched the ground, was the lemonade well, at which in the even ing, Capt. John A. Parker dispensed hospitality; the Gipsy tent, where for tunes were told by Miss Anna Forbes Liddell and Mrs. D. A. McLaughlin. On the north lawn was "Robin Hood Lodge." which furnished a charming background for the splendid silhou ettes drawn by one -of the city's most gifted artists, Miss Estelle Hargrave, and the "donkey" for the kiddoes. In north walk was a roller coaster one o those Santa Claus brought to Belk's, at Christmas. This was run by "Little Boy Blue" Master Parks Hutchison Dalton three rides for a penny. Master Dalton added $1.00. to the chapter receipts by his energy and efforts. The costumes of the chapter mem bers, representing as they did lovely flowers daisies, poppies, brown-eyed susans, wisteria, wild roses and a wa ter lily, were beautiful to a degree. They were made of crinkled paper, which was fashioned just the same as if ith ad been cloth, rivaling But terick's New York window display in all points. The colors in the green and white of the daisies; the rich red and yellow of the poppy; the lavender tones of the wisteria; the yellow tones of the pretty "Susans" one in particular whose eyes are very brown and very lovely the pink and green of the wild rose, and the . white and green of the one water lily Miss Flora Jeffries in the pond of loveli ness made an ensemble color effect that was the perfection of art and beauty. Each "flower" was queen of the garden, and each, in the evening held royal sway. And "Mother Goose" and her retinue of fun-and-frolic what fun they had! The children were cleverly costumed and 'entered into the spirit of the occasion and with their merry romps and play, over the lawn added to the picturesqueness and merriment of the fete. , In the bunch of juvenile loveliness and funniness, the very cutest sprite was little Sallie McAden Cothran a little fairy i of the orthodox type pink tarleton, with a little fairy wand at the top of which was a star; a little srold crown with a star. She was queen of the realm, little counterpart to the "Little Boy Blue" Parks who wore a cute suit of A lovely fairy was Dalton blue, blue . His horn socks and slippers, blue cap was hun across ' his shoulder with blue cord. Old Mother Hubbard's dog "Doc- tor Woctor -present. He was the notable canine wore a bow of ribbon around his neck to which his "bone was attached. Desiring the bone more than the bow, "Doctor Woctor" removed the bow and hied hence with the bone. Crowds Present. Both afternoon and night, the at tendance was large. In the afternoon the personnel of the crowd represent ed the older set, or married folks; in the evening the young men and maid ens. The yard was especially beautiful at night. The long strings of electric lights, shaded with Japanese lanterns, swung from tree to tree, the lights here and there in the shrubbery, with the pretty home of the hostess Miss Susie Hutchison in the back ground, brilliantly lighted from drawing room to the remotest part, made an effect of brilliancy that attracted from afar for the lights could be. seen blocks. Dancing. And there was also the sound of music and the dance. Tango Tom, pianist, and his drum orchestra were on the front porch, .and while they played, the young folks tangoed on Ninth street on the new paving re cently laid it seems to encourage the tangoist. Lines of automobiles parked on Tryon, the occupants watching the carnival on the lawn and the dancers in the street.
