Kathleen Vanderbilt. daughter OF MT ana
Mrs. Reginald Vanderbilt, was walking
nearby with her nurse and ran to her

episode.

| Truly the inner man can have no cause
to regret this season of abstinence as
dinners have followed close upon one an
other. Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Lehr gave
another large dinner. Mrs. Cary Hutch
| inson gave one for Elizabeth Bertrow and
| Snowden Fahnstock. who are to be mar
| ried at Easter, 1 believe. Mrs. George
also Mrs. Charles Scribner: the William
| Blisses, a dinner for the American am

ingston gave another of her series for

of her father, Mr.. Taller. in Washington
| square. We are quite on the qu vive
| for the short burst of gayety at Mica
RENE. as all sorts of things are being
whispered here and there. Col. Aston,
who has been giving a series of dinners
at the ST Regis and an occasional one
elsewhere. is to give a dance at ms
| home in 18th avenue. The house is being
remodeled. and as il is expected to be In
| readiness by that time. this affair will be
| in the nature of a housewarming.
There is only one wedding of any note
to which we are looking forward until
| after Easter-Marie Louise Logan and
Count Henri de Sincay. l believe he is a
count of Brussels and Paris. They are
| to be married at st. Patrick's Cathedral.
| which usually means a good deal OF fuss
| and feathers, although this occurring In
| Lent may be very simple. The ushers
| will include several foreigners. Count
| Henry de BALLET Latone. who arrived
with NJ. de Sincay from abroad last week.
Il
! unusually pretty lot of maids and the
| good-looking ushers. it will be stunning
! wedding party. We are to lose from our
midst one of our titled friends. Nicomte de
| Perigny, who has lived here for several
/ years, is to return to his native heath.
| and society will be tres desole. Apart
| from his own popularity. we are not at
| all keen on reinquishing our hold upon
| our foreign friends.
| Several engagements are announced.
| One of the most pr minent is. of course.
| that of Teddy's son. Theodore. jr., to
| Eleanor Alexander Both are attractive
and most popular. Then Harriet Days
engagement to Count de Ligray is a
surprise. and came as bolt from lie
blue. as every one thought her preference
lay in an altogether different direction
IT seems. however. that this romance be-
gan several years ago at Gladys Van
derblt's wedding, where she met the
count. lney are to be married soon after
Easter.
Another diversion for the next few
| weeks is roller skating. A club has
been formed, 10 meet each week. and Is.
/ hear. to be very fashionable. The
patronesses are Mrs. g. Hunter Brown.
Mrs. Stowe Phelps. Mrs. Howard Davi-
son, Mrs. Lindsey Tappin and Mrs. Lor-
lizard Spencer. 1t will be great fun,
and a woman looks mighty we'll on
skates, especially if she has pretty feet
and ankles. Au revoir.
AS ever,
JANE CLAYLAND.
