ANYHOW, the wedding ended up all

Rebecca Thomson, who has come
home from st. Marys School, at Peeks-
Hll.on-the Hudson, for the holidays,
will be given a dance tonight at
Asher's.
Rebecca is the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Beau Thomson and a niece of
DR.. and Mrs. Archie Thomson. She
will probably make her debut next
year, and is certainly bound to have a
good time If any one ever has, for her
parents are greatly liked. beside the
fact that she is already a belle in the
younger set.
The annual Triangle Show of Prince
ION will be given tonight in the ball
room Of ,e Bellevue -Stratford, and
several dinners will take place before
iheevening performance. Mr., and Mrs.
Jcha Gribbel, of Wyncote, will enter
tain in box and Mrs. William Whit
ner will also give party in honor of
her granddaughter Katherine.
Another brilliant audience attended
the opera last night, and few more
new lights for this season in the social
world appeared on the scene. Strange
10 say, Caruso did not claim all the
honors, though he was in splendid
yolce. Amato was the star of the
performance, and was called out again
and again after the first scene of the
fourth act.
One Of the most remarkable costumes
worn In the audience was that chosen
by Mrs. George Willing, Jr. It was
bright apple-green, heavily EN-
eroldered In silver. and was fashioned
In the long straight lines of a Dolly
Drake gown. Mary Denckla appeared
icr the first time last night in Won
derfui gown of burnt orange velvet,
trimmed with fur and made with a
long square train.
There were a few debutantes scat
lsred here and there, among them
Mary Bohlen, who had on the loveliest
gown of yellow, which is exceptionally
