IDEAS GIVEN TO SOCIETY.
"Yes, of course we must, " agrees tho |
feminine dear appealed to. "I fool that j
can't put it off any longer, but I i
dread it. There's so much to think of
and arrange if the entertainment is to
ho an entire success. There are tho ta
ble decorations, the china, the flowers
and tho nimm. If wo have dancing,
there are tho favors to be arranged, or
else wo must have somebody to sing or
read or do something to entertain the
guests. Then l must have a new gown,
and tho girls too. It seems a terrible
undertaking, but I suppose I must go
through with it," and the prospective
hostess sighs as she thinks of her many
responsibilities. '
The time has come when Mrs. Chari
füss Eli» Garrison and Ilor l'.iim
rial llequirei
of So
"My dear," says Mr. Charlton Judd,
"wo really ought to give a card party
or a reception or something. We've
been going and going over since wo
moved hero, and it's time wo returned
some of tho courtesies wo have receiv
ed. "
wo
ton Judd or Mrs. Anybody Else who
wishes to entertain may do so without,
giving herself the slightest trouble. Sho
has simply to apply to tho "bureau of
social requirements," put the affair in
the hands of its managers, and tho din
ner, tea, cotillon or reception will come
off without further effort on her part.
In starting this bureau Miss Ella Garn
son entered a now field in tho range ct
occupations for women. There are ca
terers, of course, and scores of florists
ready to do their part toward the sue
of a private entertainment, but
never before in New York lias a hostess
been able to resign to a bureau tho eu
tire management of a party from tho ,
composition of tho menu and the design
for tho cards of invitation to suggestions
as to her own toilet. Miss Garrison has
at li.-r command a staff of chefs ready to
eoncoct dainty dishes and butlers whose i
dignified deportment will add splendor
to any enter - inmeut. Sho proposes to j
furnish unique designs for the arrange- j
incuts at weddings and to show blush- j
iug brides how to advance gracefully to
the altar. She will devise ideas for chil- j
dreu's parties, and she will invent new !
favors for cotillons. Sho will furnish
cess
artists to sing, play, read or recite for i
tho entertainment of guests and will !
undertake to think for the lady of the j
house regarding every detail about j
which the slightest concern might ho j
felt. In short, she will take all care off ;
file hostess' shoulders and enable her to ;
mingle with her guests with a light
heart.
There is another branch of tho bureau
of social requirements which will tend
to relievo the mistress of many a hand
some home ot worry and responsibility.
This department is described in tho
dainty little lavender pamphlet which
the bureau sends out as "the disman
tling and rearrangement of houses. " j
When a family is to be absent from the 1
city during the summer months or !
wishes to put aside the many articles I
that make the indoor life of winter so
attractive the manager of the bureau
will send workwomen and go herself
to BuperiDtitid the swathing ot the tar
niture in linen. In the autumn it will
he her province to take off tho wrap- j
piugi and restore tho various articles to j
their places. j
Another department that receives the j
bureau's attention is "information on j
all points of social life. " Many subtlo i
problems that are ns a sealed book to the i
1 . ... „ , .... , , . î
uninitiated will bo made plain on appll
cation to the manager, iheso lncluclo
such questions as "How lung a time
should or should not elapso before pay
iug a first call?" aud "What should de
termine precedence in tho matter of
seats at dinner?" Perhaps even the
kinds of forks and spoons to be used for
• .. »«- r»g>» r -f T
never paid much attention to such mat
ters. The bureau will solve all such
problems.
"What first suggested such a busi
ness to you?" asked a reporter who
found Miss Garrison duly iustalled at
her desk.
"I have been doing this sort of thing
unconsciously all my life," was tho re
ply. "My friends have always come to
me for ideas aud suggestions when they
wanted to decorate a table prettily, get
now bangings for » room, gtvo a card
party or anythin# of the kind. If any
one in tho family was to bo married, my
invention was taxed to get up something
distinctive and new, either for the wed
din# raiment or tho fashion in which
the ceremony should be conducted,
have often boon called on to giv*i a sug
gestion as to the color, material and i
stylo of making most likely to suit cer
tain of my friends who were in doubt
| as to a new dress, and now that the
j time has come when I want to bo self ;
i supporting, it seems to mo that I had
best make a business of what had al- I
ways been a pleasure. I know more
about texture and colors, house decora
tiens, social forms and customs than I
know about anything else, so I have <le
termiued to make my capital of that."
Miss Garrison is a sweet faced young
woman, with the air and manner of a
person accustomed to mingle with the
world. The oldest daughter in a homo
where entertainments were frequently j
given, she learned in her father's house
the art of conducting social affairs grace :
fully and successfully, and on account j
of financial difficulties she now proposes
to put her knowledge to practical use !
Everything about the bureau is in lav
ender—tliat is the "note" that perme
ates tho place—and tho young lady's
desk has fresh flowers on.it constantly,
