The Smart Set

GERS club will be quite a gala
event with the round of dinner
parties as an accompaniment to this
sole surviving pleasure of winter
which has continued with great sue
cess until mid June and bids fair to
happen every fortnight for several
weeks longer since the girls in town
Preside are equally enthusiastic over
the summer series of dances.
Miss Dolly MacGavin is entertaining
Miss Lolita Burling for a few days and
has invited several friends for dinner
and the hop afterward. At the Preside
there will be a number of dances no.
tably the one to be given by Captain
and Mrs. Sterling P. Adams.
With dinner parties as the topic
every one who knows Miss Mary
Keeney will think of the affair at
which she presided last evening when
the occasion was called birthday
dinner" and the time honored cake
held the center of the table with the
proper number of candles. No one is
telling just how many-candles, you
know-adorned the wonderful birthday
CONNECTION, but they were absurdly few
when one remembers what a belle this
altogether charming and very young
hostess has become since her debut
gaining all the popularity that belongs
to older girls. Only few close
friends were hidden to assist at the
birthday feast. Those present were:
Miss Florence Hopkins Frank King
Miss Katrina PagelReginald Fernald
Brown Percy King
Miss Martha Calhoun Duval Moore
Miss Elizabeth NewhallM. Clifton
