Third Street WEDNESDAY EVENING. DEAR MARIAN, yr LETTERS for the past IV I two weeks have been of par ties and balls and then still more parties and balls for they occupy most of. Our time and thought. The younger set seems to be having the best time, for most of the dances and card parties are, for them. To night's subscription dance at the Harrisburg Country Club will probably be the b'est of te season at the club, for everyone seems to be going.

There will be three dinner parties, as you have perhaps heard. One will b9 given by Mr. and ilrs. Henderson Gilbert for Aliss Bertha Matter, who Is Harriet Gilbert's friend: another will have Nelle Payne as hosted and the John Motters will also entertain a number of their friends. For the Gilbert party, twenty eight young people will be at one table, with Mr.

and Mrs. Gilbert and four of their married friends at another table. THE Fritz Wrights are here after all. As I wrote you some time ago, they feared to make the trip, but their little daughter, Frances is so robust that they came from St. Louis without any trouble.

Fritz had to return home, I hear, but Mrs. Wright and Frances f.re still here. I WROTE to you some time ago about the visit of "Grandmother Albert" with friends in this city and of her vivid recollections of former days. Mrs. Albert has always been so much struck with the likeness to her grandfather of one of the figures In Wil lard's painting "The Spirit of '76," that she has always been sure he was the model.

One of the readers of these letters sends to me the following note: "Are there two pictures called The Spirit of While sightseeing at Marblehead some time ago, the original picture' now hanging in Ab'bott Hall was shown to us and the following information given: The artist was Archibald Willard, of Cleveland, Ohio; the characters fifer, the father of the artist; drummer, a farmer in the neighborhood by the name of Mosher; boy drummer, the son of General Devereaux, of Cleveland, who purchased the picture and presented it to his native town." Frankly I confess, I "have never seen the original of the picture, nor heard before this time any names associated with the figures represented. MRS. SAMUEL "V7. FLEMING is going to Pen Tan on Friday for a visit with her daughter, Mrs. Charles K.

Imbrie at the Manse. I recall to your mind that Mrs. Imbrie's husband is pastor of the Pen Tan Presbyterian Church. HE Charles L. Bailey, are I in Washington or will go this and Annette are planning to be here at home on January 4 and we'll be so glad to see them again.

We have missed them during this holiday season. THE Harrisburg colony in Princeton now includes the John Milton Colts Mrs. Colt was Eleanor Boyd; the William J. Rahills Mrs. Rahill was Cecelia Kunkel; and now Jane Hickok, the most recent addition.

Jane came hpme for Christmas and hopes to be here for New Tear's Day too. Writing to you of Jane Hickok reminds me that I have told you nothing of the delightful guests from out of town, who were here at the Christmas dance given for the Hickok and Olmsted families. Gertrude Olmsted had as her guest, Miss Doris Bixley, of New Tork, whom everyone pronounced charming. Conway Olmsted's guest, was Arthur Houghton. Mr.

Firing Directions for Pocahontas No special instructions are necessary for Pocahontas egg, stove, nut or pea except the damper in the smoke pipe should be open wider than for anthracite. The slot in the firing door should be open to allow the air needed for efficiently burning Pocahontas. In starting fire have all drafts open and check damper closed, then build up fire as you would with anthracite. When firing fresh coal, open smoke pipe damper, close check draft and open damper in ash pit door. In handling Pocahontas from the mine to your coal bin there is some slack (fine coal).

The slack should be used for banking fires at night. The proper use of slack is important, as it will make the fuel bed last longer than when large coal is used alone. The fuels we distribute are selected with the sole purpose of giving equal satisfaction as the best grades of anthracite. UNITED ICE COAL COMPANY Fnnter A Cowdm Street Seventh Woodbine Street Seventh A Schtirlklll Street 1'irteenth Chmtnut Street and Mrs. Kenneth Stuart, of Philadelphia, were here too.

TWO very interesting Russian men Boris Riabolt and Nicholas Pavloft were also among the guests. Mr. Riaboff, who is an architect by profession, is associated with Paul Cret in Philadelphia and Is also on the design department staff at the University of Pennsylvania. Mr. Pavloft is a student of architecture at the University.

FOR. Saturday night's dance at the Harrisburg Country Club, only one dinner party has been announced as yet, but many of my friends will dine "Dutch treat" at the clubhouse. THE Henry Grosses had to give up their stay at Atlantic City. Mrs. Gross went down with Betsy and Henry and came back for little Nancy, found her not very well.

So Henry Gross went to Atlantic City on Christmas Eve and returned on Christmas Day, and now it was found that the cough and cold with which all of the children had been afflicted has developed into whooping cough. Isn't that too bad! George R. Bailey was in Richmond, Va. this week for a short stay. ONE of my friends who likes to delve in old directories, has found that Mr.

and Mrs. Samuel Garrigues, parents of H. H. Garrigues, who has been chosen to succeed Mr. A.

M. Parker as superintendent of the Eastern Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad, lived at 101 Locust street in this city about the time of the birth of their son.
