NEWS LETTER

Gaiety is a word not in the vocabu-
larry of the social set this week, for
everything has come to a standStill in
the way of events and functions. Not
even the Sewing-classes have met.
Seyen-hand euchre and bridge have not
been dreamed of or limited at, for this
is the week Of weeks during Lent when
penance is the one thing thought about
unless it is the new Easter gown
and bonnet, orders for which have been
placed long since.
The women who have been sewing for
St. BarnabaS Hospital in Newark met
with Mrs. Edward O. KeaSbey for the
last time week ago, and the box for
the hospital was made up early this
week and sent to its destination. The
dozen women who attended this class
did lot of work, as was evidenced by
| the size Of the box sent.
Thus it was that the sixty or seventy
matronS and maids who have been
meeting weekly with Mrs. Francis A.
Henry for cup of chocolate and lit
tie chat, also to receive instructions in
sewing, did not congregate this week.
They did an immense amount of work
for Memorial Hospital, however, and
the box was shipped to that institu-
tion Monday AT Mrs. Wynant Van
derpool's the sewing has also ceased
and the work accomplished has been
sent to st. Hilda's school for young
ladies.
This is the Easter vacation week In
colleges and all the boys are home for
over Sunday and part of next week.
Among those who may be found in
! town now are: Edward Little from
Princeton, Gordon Hoxsey from Ho-
bart, Max Behr from Yale, Leland b.
Garretson from Princeton, Karl Behr
from Lawrenceville, Robert B. Gran
mis-, Jr., from Yale, Harold Vernon
from Yale, Charles Marsh from Cor
nell, Harry Swords from Yale, and
Fritz Behr from Harvard.
Quite the most important thing in
| the way of functions for the coming
week is the "at home for which Miss
Winslow has issued invitations. 1t is
to be at her home on Maple avenue at
three O'Clock on the afternoon of
Thursday, April 16. While the invita-
tions notify the guests that it is to be
merely an "at home" it will in fact
amount to meeting of celebrities and
/ a delightful entertainment has been
provided. Miss Winslow is very fond
of music and her entertainments usu-
ally partake of something on that Or
der. On this occasion she will have
Miss Leila Liyington Morse, the beau
tiful mezzo-soprano, as the principal
attraction, with Mrs Lewis Burchard
at the piano. Miss Morse is d grand
! daughter of the inventor of the tele-
graph and is very talented young
woman now living in New York. She
has a reputation extending over two
continents and is as well known in
Great Britain as in this country. Mrs.
! Burchard is very great pianiste and
has studied for many years abroad.
During the past winter she has been
living quietly in Morrstown. Some OF
the celebrities who will be out from
/ New York are Miss Virginia Brush, the
decorator, who has had such vogue
in the metropolis for two seasons, Miss
Adele Brush, her sister, and Mrs. Gar
fla, the miniature painter, than whom
there is no better in this country and
few her equal on the continent. Other
guests from New York will be Mr.. and
Mrs. Edward Winslow, Mrs James
Winslow, Mr.. Manner Winslow, Mr..
Charles Manner, and Mrs. Paul V. Ora
yath, who was the celebrated contraltO
Miss Agnes Huntington before her
marriage. Among those in town who
have invitations are DR.. and Mrs. Will
liam M. Hughes, Dr. and Mrs. H. A.
Henriques, Mrs. John l. Waterbury,
Mrs Albert H. Vernam, the Misses
Vernam, Mrs. William S. Letchford,
Mrs. George B. Raymond the Misses
Raymond, Miss Ford and Mrs. Francis
A. Henry Miss Winslow will be as
sisted in receiving by Mrs. Macbeth.
The last meeting of the Topic Tea
Club has been held, at least for the
season; but the club will undoubtedly
be recognized next fall, as it has been
very successful during the past winter.
Mrs. William Elmer Wheelock enter
tanned the club at the final meeting,
which was one of the best of the sea-
