ISHBEL LIKES LONG SKIRTS.

CHOCOLATE PREFERRED.

It is. quite evident that Miss Ishbel MacDonald is one of thoso who prefer long skirts, for her coats and afternoon frocks reach mid-way between her kneo and anklo as a rule. For Mrs. Dawes's tea party at the American Embassy, remarks a correspondent, sho woro a long blue coat, and hat pulled over her eyes to match, and was probably tho only woman in tho room with no fur cither in tho shape of a collar or a stole.. Mrs. Baldwin, who is starting her At Homes again, woro a sable coat. Madamo do Flcuriau had a Persian lamb one. These coats aro still vory popular. Tho most delicious foaming hot chocolate, poured out of big tea urns, was preferred by nearly everyone to tea at, this party. Mrs. Dawes had collected a number of friends to pour out for her at tea tables placed in tho four corners of tho ballroom so that there was no crush round a long buffet. Tablecloths with exquisite pieces of laco inset, which are Embassy - treasures, wero used on tho tables. Mrs. Glasgow, of Moncorvo House, who always had hot chocolate at her teaparties, brought her pretty littlo daughter Marjorie, who, now that Ladv Lettiee Lygon is to bo married, holds the record for tho number of times she has been a bridesmaid.
