My Dear Elsn Of all the fool func ¬
dons that have come my way thesit on tho floor ten Is tho latest and
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 ¬
ment Nobody else over did eitheruntil last weekI when Mrs Van Ssuddenly conceived tho Idea of enter ¬
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
cooed One seems to cast off thecaret and worries of life nnd to be achild again ready to listen to fairy j
stories Horrid creature I SoothingIndeed to sit doubled up like a Jackknife In a sheath skirt measuring lessthan two yards around the bottom

and to feel the seams of your gownand your temper giving way withevery movement And a beautifuland composing sight It was to ob¬
serve our hostess clad in Greciandrapery built for the occasion sinkgracefully a la Isadora Duncan uponher cushion while you felt and prob-ably looked like a mechanical toy justrun down-
I tell you there was murder In thehearts of the feminine guests on thismemorable day and hour Were thereany men there Certainly my dearOur amiable hostess corralled a fewspecimens to see the fall of the dlfectolre costume but we all managedto present a smiling tlcklcdtodeathtime ofyourlife appearance The onlyreal fun I extracted from this orlg ¬
inal affair as tho yellow journalsdubbed It was when Tom Suydamlooked over at me with a wickedgleam In his eye and In an Insinuatingmanner suggested to Mrs Van Sthat it would be no end of goodport for all of us to tell about the
most uncomfortable experience ofour lives Iwas obliged to leavethe happy band of squatters beforemy powers as a raconteur were testedotherwise I might have begun my sto ¬
ry with once upon a time there was awoman who delighted In making peo ¬
pIe ridiculous for her own amusementbut Ill spare you the rest of the
narrative Never again though a teaa la Japonnalse for mo The physicaleffect Is not unlike the aftermath of atoo strenuous Turkish bathosteopathic treatment and a first horsebackride combined Still If you want tobe the talk of your town for a mo ¬

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 ¬
tion of chocolate batter mixed plentifully with chopped walnuts
