Y ONDON, Dec. l9-"Smart'
children are to have more elab-
crate holiday parties than ever
This year. The most gorgeous
OF these viii be given by American
hostosses. Thousands Of dollars viii
be lavished on these childrens par
ties. And the guests win mostly be
English, FOR there are few American
children here 10 participate. These
guests viii be patricisns. the flower OF
British aristocracy and perhaps-the
royal children from Marlborough
House.
Al the parties projected the
spreads will be more gorgeous than
ever, the toys more beautiful, the CO.
tillou gifts more expensive The truth
s., the Youngsters themselves. like their
parents, have grown excessively fas-
tidlous and they positively turn up
their small noses IN their presents are
not worth money and II the refresh
nents are not most recherche.
