The cotillion given Thursday night by
Mrs. Leiter was the mo-t brilliant social
function given in honor or the dying year.
The occasion was for "dancers only," al
most exclusively for debutantes, and the
charming women who, in spite or New
Year's, are still as-attractive as in their
girlish days. Invitations had been sent
out to 1 5() fortuuutes and there were no
"regrets."
As at least seventy-five of the invited
guests were ladies it takes but little imag
ination to recall the richness and brilliance
of the scene in the lovely environment
of the ballroom itself when' the music
get the dancers in motion.
Hail Lord Tennyson been there he might
possibly have written a better "Dn-ani
of Fnir "Women, " which would bnve been
all the better anyhow if he had made
a New Year's study of American beauties.
Mr. and Mrs. Leiter received their guests
hospitably and with the added gracmus
ness of the Inspiration of the event in
tended to be honored, Mrs- Leiter was
radiantly gowned in purple satin jeweled
with rubies.
The dinner and cotillion given by Mr.
and Mrs. Brice on New Year's night was
an event that will not soon be forgotten
by those who were fortunate enough to
be numbered among the guests.
The magnificent rooms were fragrant
with roses, and at every point were groups
of tall, gracefully branching palms and
masses of orchids in quaint and lovely
jardinieres. The decorations of each of
the small tables-scattered throughout the
two dining halls were tall glass vases
of pink carnations, and candles shaded
with frills of green crepe under frames
of filigree silver and standing in frosted
sliver sticks.
Mrs. Bncc was gowned in cream brocaded
satin, flowered with pink roses and deli
cate sprays of green. Her decollette bodice
was veiled with point lace, studded with
diamonds, and. the same Jewels flashed on
her neck and arms. On each shoulder were
full-blown blush roses, and her white satin
slippers were crusted with arabesques of
gold.
It seems scarcely possible that any fu
ture function to be given by the governors
and members of the Chevy Chase Club can
exceed In brilliancy Its hunt ball of '96.
Every guest present was in full evening
dress, a number of the ladles being In black
toilettes, which served as effective foils
for the scarlet coats of their partners.
There was a supper that included two
flowing bowls, and the cotillion that fol
lowed was led by Mr. George Dunn, master
of hounds.
The event of the morning was the hunt
wjiich gave name to the ball. The Chevy
Chase hunters were reinforced by repre
sentatives of hunting clubs from Baltimore,
Philadelphia and New York, and the
sportsmen, attired in picturesque pink and
on their high-bred hunters, made a gallant
and enlivening show.
It was a pretty day" for this field sport,
the damp ground being in favor of the
pack. From about 10:30 until late in
the afternoon the riders to the hounds were
away on one of the successful meets in the
annals of the club, and returned in time
for the club supper and the now historical
hunt ball.

HOW THE CHILD
SHOULD BE TRAINED
Miss Susan Blow Talks to Mothers
' and Teachers.
Great Care ShonldUe liserclHed In
Early ImpresrdonH Selection
at Color.
Columbian University Hall was well
filled with kindergarten and other teach
ers, mostly women, to hear Miss Susan E.
Blow yesterday morning, on the training
or children. With Miss Blow in the rostrum
were Mrs. Walker, president of the Colum
bian Kindergarten Association, under whose
auspices the lecture was delivered, and
Miss Hart.of the Baltimore TralnlngSchool.
Miss Blow Is the daughter of the late ox
Gov. Blow, of Missouri. She Is a well pre
served lady.withstoutflgure.ruddi' faceand
gray hair. She was dressed In a very light
gray woolen sturr, her bonnet was incon
spicuous, and she read her lecture sitting.
Her delivery was very rapid. Among other
tilings she said: "Froebel's mother plays
mean much to the child, more to the young
mother and the kindergarten, most to those
who have lived most, loved most, failed
most, and conquered most.
"The true principle in teaching is to find
the point of contact, where what Is to be
learned has a natural relation to what the
child knows. The great mistake made in
families and even In kindergartens is to
try to teach the child things which have
no relation to their own experience and
knowledge already gained. Froebel was
particular atout where you hitch on; he
was also particular what you hitch on."
She told "how, in a Boston school, a
temperance lesson was attempted by ob
ject teaching, a bottle playing a prominent
part. One of the little fellows who didn't
get the relations properly drew the lesson
that nothing should ever be drunk from a
bottle, and so far as possible not from a
cup.
Another Instance was of hitching on the
wrong thing. A young mother was trying
ljar.1 to induce her baby to respond through
the sense of taste a supposed natural pleas
ure In the flavor of tea. A rriend pro
tested that she ought not to try to make
the baby like a beverage which would
probably be hurtful rather than otherwise.
It would be better-if he never learned to
like it.
But,'' exclaimed the mother, "he will
not be like his mother then."
And was not this, asked Miss Blow, an
efort to hitch on the wrong thing?
Temperance ought to be taught with
reference to the things in which the rhild
Is likely to be .intemperate. He will then
be temperate of drink when older. The
mother ounht to teach the child not to
eat too much sweet. But the way to
I teach tills Is not by words. Froebel in
sists that you plant nothing, not the
uurery slip, not the seed. Everything
must be developed from what is already
within the chilli.
Children should be warned by sweetness
itself not to eat too much, by sourness that
the tiling is frequently unripe and unnt
to eat at all; by bitterness puckering the
mouth that the food may not be pleasant,
but is likely to be wholesome.
The sense of smell Is a guard and the
boy who obeys the warning of tobacco
smoke will never die of "tobacco heart."
Froebel would have the child trained
In the interpretations of its sensations and A
in self-control, in refusing the demands of
appetite, when there is warning of harm
in that direction. Froebel liked to have
not even mere self-control, but the control
of an idea.
1 11 her reading Miss Blow said she found
that Froebel, Pestalozzi, and others
seemed to be making the same general
statement, but when concrete interpreta
tion was readied the Ie-sons were quite
different and developed very distinct
ideas. An illustration of this, she said,
exists in the common notion that all
religions are based upon the name great
fundamental principles. She simply asked
what -ort of civilization was produced by
.two apparently identical religions. If
they were the same she would believe that
the principles were the same, otherwise
not.
Aesthetic development was the special
topic of her lecture. She spent much time
upon the .subject? of color. Children ought
not to he left to ideal with colors alone.
. Entire freedom of choice led to bar
barism. On the o:her hand, the child
ought not to be wholly controlled, that was
repressive coercion. A restricted freedom
was thepiojier method of teaching. Apian
for this has Just been developed by Miss
Fisher, in Eoston. A chart devised by
no's Turner bears a number of shades of
gray, and the child is permitted to choose
from colors furnished those which he
thinks will be pretty with the gray. The
colors furnished are all such as will be
pretty with the graj s. Enormous develop
ment by putting together as beautiful
colors that are Inharmonious Is thus
ao!ded: yet the child's preferences are
retained.
This principle of restricted freedom, she
said, was of great importance in Froebel's
system.
Fiosbel's critics make two objections.
One is that he gives the type form, a ball
in developing the idea round. They hold
thata number of round things, as oranges,
and apples, should be given the child and
let him get the type form himself This
objection fell when it was considered that
the comparison desired was inevitable and
need not be specially supplied.
A second objection was that geometrical
forms are not beautiful. This, was dis
proved by the fact that crystalline forms
in minerals are geometrical and they pre
cede all other beauty. In the same way
architecture leads all the other arts.
She warned against bad teaching by giv
ing"poor toys. Dolls, painted ugly and ill
formed, horns with bad tones and noisy, not
musical, drums must be avoided. These
things tend to create false Ideals and cul
tivate false taste.
The fairy tales of childhood are useful
but they ought to be re-written. The
fairy tales free the mind and broaden the
view, but they may produce errors and
ought to be rid of this danger.
The best definition of aesthetic educa
tion, she said, was the process by which
the Intuitions of the best souls are made
the intuitlons,of all souls.
The paper was .received with frequent
laughter and applause.
Miss Blow will be here for three or four
days. She Is stopping at No. 2023 O
street northwest, but is not in good health
and, can not see many callers.
