I WOMAN AND SOCIETY Conducted By 2A TCOTT TRICE. a otatiemrif strings of coral beads at the fashionable Jewelers' throughout the country show them In all lengths and sizes. There Is the necklace of email beads like those which were hung about, the neck of pretty nearly every baby, of fashionable pretensions a generation ago. Maybe you have a necklace that you yourself wore when a baby. If so, rescue It from the oblivion of your treasure box of infantile relics and wear It.

single strand necklaces are formed of larger beads and these range from strings that clasp closely around the throat to very, very long chains which encircle the neck twice and fall almost tq the knees, being -knotted once and may be twice down their length. The coral chain is: worn as an ornament, pure and simple; or it may serve 'to suspend the fan, purse or muff. Sometimes the beads In 'the necklace are graduated In size and-the clasps are In various designs, frequently Jeweled. with diamonds or pearls. A long string of beads of the prized pale pink color, exqulBltely, matched, is.

punctuated at regular Intervals with fancy gold beads. The effect Is very pretty. Large coral beads are used In the same way to space gold-chains for lorgnette, fan or purse. The collarette, of which-Queen Alexandra is particularly fond and which she wears In so many of her photographs, comes of many strands of tiny coral beads or ot repeated rows of larger beads, usually eight, held in place by. bars and clasps of gold set with diamonds or pearls.

A fashionable demonstration of the revival of coral Is a bracelet of four strands of beads whloh fasten tightly around the wriBt, with a rectangular plain gold clasp on which -the monogram may be engraved, Qno of tho prefty chain bracelets now in vogue Is formed of a aeries of coral cabochons Is your best representative, so why not have the best.

iclubman noted for his generosity in presenting' bouquets to his women friends, but no less for hlB perfect taste and originality of choice in selecting and combining the flowers. He never sends two bouquets alike and orders and plans every one himself. But to succeed bb He does most, men have not the eye for color and necessary sense of discrimination. Usually a man contents himself with a telophone order, to the florist to send so many dozen roses, or lilies, or violets, to such an address, and forward the bill to him. Then he wonders why the girl who receives them often carriers smaller but more' artistically arranged bouquet in pref-' erence to his.

The handsomest bouquets seen in Nashville society this season-have been carried by Miss Kate Hansom, Miss Helen Bell, Miss Ida Thompson, Miss Elizabeth Lea, Miss Ida Wilson and Miss Mary Richardson, and out of these, the two most beautiful fell to Miss Kate Hansom's share. So lovely were they, that they were well worth studying. The "sweeteBt flowers that grow" were combined In them, and combined so artistically that It fairly made the eyes tingle with pleasure to look at, them. One of them the lucky girl carried at her debut reception. It was composed, of violets and lilies, hundreds of each, being employed.

The violets -were massed into a solid purple and the. lilies were UBed as a graceful outside fringe. It seemed the very perfection of the florist's art, yet it was excelled by the second bouquet, which made its appearance in MIbs Ransom's hand as she entered the ballroom at the Duncan for the mid-winter Cotillon dance. It was a combination of carnations In the palest pink shade arid fragrant white narcissus into a large round mass, yet bo loosely arranged as to have the appearance of having been carelessly picked up from a tray of long-stemmed blooms; Another beautiful bouquet sent Miss Ransom for her debut reception, and which she held during part of-the hours, was made of half-blown La France roses, With a cluster of lilies of the valley placed in one side. This, by the way, Is a new Idea In bouquet making, and a very taking and effective one.

MIbs 'Helen Bell received five of the handsomest bouquets of the season at her introductory tea In November. Two were of La Prance roses, one composed of all pink buds and the other with a bunch of Roman hyacinths made, into one side; one was a large round mass of Parma violets, one a shower of lilies of the valley and the fifth was a shower of white roses. At the cotillon given Miss Bell by Mr. and Mrs. George A.

Washington at the Maxwell In December she received two equally beautiful bouquets, one being made of pink roses In the round shape, and the other was a shower of Liberty roses. Miss Ida Thompson carried two exi-quislte bouquets at her debut reception, one a large shower of white roses Days Are The Ticks of Eternity 1 And you should inako each day on- 1 1 by 8-PALATE-TICKLING MEALS cooked on a NATIONAL STEEL RANGE Asbestos Linings End Draft Doors i Balanced Oven Doors Call on ub and let us tell yon aXl about it at tho store on c- J' College Street M'F'G.

I cannot understand deliberate unhap-piness. I never was a believer in the theory that "pain is good for you, therefore bear it patiently," says Lilian Bell In Harper's Bazaar. I believe in making a fuss about it that will bring the doctor and the neighbors, and In getting rid of it by something vehement In the mustard plaster line. And as to staying where you are uncomfortable? I would a thousand times rather fly to the perils that I know not of than to bear the Ills I have. If there isn't actual happiness in the world for all women, there Is at least less discomfort somewhere else than where you are, so go and hunt for It.

If Bhe cap walk, crawl or Bteal a ride from set of environments which have a bad effect on her nerves, I am In favor of a woman's going. Temper? Not half the crabbedness in this world Is temper. It is mostly nerves, and nerves may be soothed. If not cured. To tell the truth, I have the greatest sympathy for most so-called crabbedness, and so far from taking a high and mighty stand and preaching against it, or being so conceited as to advise prayer and fasting to overcome it, II feel vastly more like taking the crabbed one to my heart and saying: "Don't try to cruelly yourself with self-control before me.

Talk to your heart's content about whatever worries you. I'm In sympathy with you." For most crabbedneBs in old maids Is generally a case of the neighbors' children or their roosters. Personally, I prefer roosters. Old maids, old bachelors, brides and grooms, and even' people with children generally hate the neighbors' children, and are called crabbed because they complain. But it is not a disappointment in love which makes a nervous woman hate noise.

And moBt children are so versatile. Fragment. (Frederick Lawrence Knowles.) It takes two for a kiss, Onlv one for a slc-h?

1 jlERY young society girls of this day of grace might learn some- I thing to their advantage It they could swing like a pendulum for a moment to the pure politeness of old-time days. Unconsciously to themselves they might bring back a veneer of courtesy that would keep them from repeating many of their blunders, which are bedim'ming the surface of Nashville's social life today. Such a little Journey, even of a second," might teach these young things to at least do things in. a way to arouse the least talk. So much by way of preface.

Now for the fact which some of the master spirits of Impoliteness in Nashville society recently committed. A certain greatly honored matron, whose young ladyhood marked the passage of a bright hour In Nashville's social hl3torv decided to give a luncheon. She has lived away from Nashville for many years, and her return to It this wlnter'hos been made a sort of jubilee among her riendB. She, of course, knows few of the younger element and can identify them only when you tell her their parents' names. An' invitation from her or.

any of- her blood is a distinct compliment. She planned her hospitality to be limited in numbers. The greater the compliment to those invited. According to her training In politeness, as well as her aristocratic taste, a written Invitation was the most courteous thing, and onewas dulysenr, lo each of the twelve young misses she selected for her luncheon party quite a week in advance of the date. What hanoencd? Three out of twelve sent courteous written replies the day following.

Three more telephoned after days had passed. One sent a message through a member the hostess-family to the effect that she ws coming; and to count on her. Five said nothing at all, and at last. In despair because of not knowing how to order a rather elaborate and expensive menu, the bewildered hostess telephoned each of them the night before the expected party to ask, apologetically, if. she might count upon their presence.

Yes, Indeed, they nil said enthusiastically, certainly; they were so sorry they had not telephoned -before; they thought of It, but had been so rushed, going so constantly, and all, their memories were really entirely gone. But they certainly had no thought of not coming. Never had. Society has had a strange aspect to this accomplished hostess since that experience. As her long-dead black mammy would have expressed it, her "nerves are In a Bhake." Instinctively she will pause a long time before she will plan another hospitality to take In the debutante element.

Each one of the twelve girls Is well known In Nashville society. Their names appear almost dally in the social columns of the papers. Yet only three of them were sufficiently well bred, which means, after all, well trained, to return a civil reply In writing to a kindly courtesy which had been sent to them In the most formal Rtyle. And the worst yet is that they do not know that they have done anything wrong. Tho following bright to be credited to the New York Sun, recalls un equally bright remark made by a Nashville bride.

Here is the New York Btory: "At a dinner party the other night Senator Alger was seated beside a very beautiful womun who had reached tho age of SO with all the freshness ot her youth but without a husband. "Do you never think of getting asked tho Senator. 'Think of she replied, with somo asperity. I Here Is the Nashville match. On her wedding day a clever Nashville girl had a visit from three rather effervescent young friends and one of them gushingly asked: "Oh! HI-, are you scared?" "Scared?" contemptuously returned the bride-elect, calmly packing her grip.

"What for, I'd like to know? This Is the first time I can remember I haven't been scared. All the rest of my life I've been scared to denth for fear I wouldn't get married!" One of the youngest card clubs In the city set the older organizations a good example last week in the election of an oinclal scorer to serve for a season at a time. How much trouble and hostility nntl talk would be avoided if every card club In the town had such an officer. In every club are one or two members who do not really care for the game, do not understand its fine points enough to appreciate or enjoy it, and are honestly rejoiced whenever they are asked to score. These could be easily located and their preference mnde a permanent thing, with real as well as mutual advantage.

What numbers of bouquets one sees in the course of a winter's gayety, but how few really artistic arrangements of flowers! Even the debutantes' bouquets though representing a large outlay money, very rarely have anything to distinguish them besides their costliness. All society girls are delighted to bcc the old fashioned round bouquets coming back into style, and while the "Bhcai" and "arm" bouquets of long-stemmed roses and lilies are not passing by any means, still they are no longer the only thing one Rees among iloral offerings, as wns the case a few years ago. Thoro Is in Nashville one prominent irar; mm mm rami the 'scores. Carnations and ferns -were artistically used in beautifying the reception rooms. A five course luncheon was the concluding feature.

DaviaswjIljQo from a plsit and the other an equally large cluster ot lilies of the valley. Miss Mary Richardson had one of the most admired bouquets of the season at the first dance of the Girls' Cotillon Club. It was made entirely of Liberty roses, with a solid center of roses crushed together, and a ot deep red blooms arranged and set higher up around tho outer- edge. Miss Elizabeth Lea received four bouquets at her debut reception. Two of them were showers of pink roses, eight dozen blooms being put Into ench one; another was made entirely of white Roman hyacinths and the fifth of lilies of the valley.

Miss Ida Belle Wilson has carried a number of costly and artistic bouquets this season, appearing oftonest with large clusters of her favorite flowers, violets. At a recent affair she carried an artistic fringed bouquet of pink roses that was much admired. Bridal bouquets are always more or less elaborate, though not susceptible of much variety. Still, all the other artistic evolutions are merely stepping stones to them, so they can afford to be conventional In style. Mrs.

The Girl With the Coral Chain. After many years the pet ornament of our grandmothers Is In vogue again and every up-to-date maiden owns a string of pretty pink beads. If you have any pieces of old-fashioned coral, this is the time to bring 'them out and have them reset In up-to-date style. Coral Is In great favor again. There are more coral chains shown in tho fashionable shops throughout the country than have been seen for many a day, except Just around the holidays, for numbers were sold for Christmas gifts and It Is not easy to replace at once the pale pink coral which, because of Its scarcity, is held at a high price.

Strings of coral beads, such as our great-aunts and grandmothers wore, have come back again. Indeed, some of the up-to-date specimens look as though they had been resurrected from treasure caskets, where they had slumbered since the days of tippets and under-slecves. When those dear old ladles were young, coral was a favorite ornament, and brooches and earrings In pretty rose and Illy and morning glory patterns, with Bprays of leaves, were all the rage. Every other girl had her set of coral, hardly any baby but what had a Btrlng of coral beads and amulets, and every family of any pretension possessed as a mantel, cabinet or hearthstone ornament In summer, when tho summer grate was In, large pieces of the original coral as it is formed under water. For many years little was seen or heard of these pretty ornaments except the heirlooms locked up In some treasure box of family relics and only brought out to show the children.

But there is no doubt that especially tho coral chain, has come Its own again. One thing about coroj is that It contrasts charmingly with a Bmooth, fair skin, and the' chain of soft, pretty pink beads is very effective with tho white evening gown which Is now the most fashionable of all. Tho trays devoted to tho dlspay-of MISS MA1UE Of Louisville, Guest ot united gracefully with links of gold. Shirt wnist sets consisting of belt-pin, cuff-links and studs for the front of the blouse are set with coral and these are extremely pretty with white shirtwaists. The coiffure combs of shell have also yielded to the revived vogue of coral.

Belt claaps are set with coral. Fashionable girdles of black or white silk elastic are studded with cut steel and ornamented with slides and clasp of cut steel set with coral. Card-cases of fine leathers and of the antique brocades now ultra-fashionable for making these requisites-are artistically mounted with gold and jeweled with coral. Something very lovely is a card-ense of pure white calf that closes with a coral cabochon. But perhaps you have a set of old-fashioned corals, one of the really passe' sort, consisting of long, ponderous ear ornaments, dangling, pendant brooches and the like.

Coral cameos, it small, can be transformed into modish lace, stick or cravat pins. A pair of earrings will make smart cuff-links and brooches form the nucleus of handsome belt clasps. Long-pointed pendants may reappear from the Jeweler's as coral-tipped hat pins. Other pretty pieces have been metamorphosed Into pendants to hang on the thread-like neck chain of gold. Indeed, It is possible to do all sorts of Cinderella-like transformation feats with these old-time pieces of jewelry If you are lucky enough to have them! "I bought a coral necklace, just like that for you when you were a baby," an old gentleman remarked to his white-haired daughter us the two made the rounds of a fashionable store.

looked very pretty with your little white dress, and your old nurse used to any It was a charm against all sorta of evils from whooping cough to warding off bad spirits." The up-to-date girl wears coral because it is fashionable. To the legends and superstitions that cluster around It, and the occult properties ascribed to It, she little, If any, thought. And yet coral has, in times past, been considered just about as lucky as the opal unlucky. Away back in old, old Home, coral was considered particularly pleasing to the gods, feasants in some parts of Italy and Sicily, to-day, carry coral in. their pockets as charm against Evil Eye.

In the time of Pliny, the Hindoos valued coral as highly as diamonds and pearls. The ancient Gauls wore coral upon their shields to render their enemies' shafts harmless. The Arabs used it decorate their lancefi. The rich Mussulman still ornaments his turban with coral, and Chinese mandarins affect buttons mnde of coral. Once upon a time, branches of coral were hung from the cradle of the new-born child to protect it from vnrlous infantile matn-dles.

and "to preserve and fasten Its teeth." Mothers rubbed the child's gums with the coral every dayj Coral bells were valued as a double talisman, for a bell can scare away evil spirits and ward off lightning so superstition says.
