heard such screamlngly funny story
at a luncheon the other day. The hostess
told me her little girl, aged seven. went
to party, and the child for whom it was
given was very disagreeable to her. So
the mother said to her offspring, who, by
the way, can do no wrong(D: MY dear,

you. why didn't you come home? For

have done" To which the young hopeful

The first of the series of informal teas
given yesterday by the Plays and Play
ers at the Playroom, 43 South Eighteenth
street, was notable for the particularly
good musical program of the afternoon.
Robert Armbruster opened with Schu-
mann's Les Papillons," delightfully."- rem
dered. and later in the afternoon gave
two charming Spanish compositions, by
Albeniz, which have not heretofore been
heard in this city, with danse from
Debussy as an encore. Mrs. James NJ.
Anders's sympathetic contralto was heard
in several particularly fine selections. and
Arthur E. I. jackson stirred his audience
with the timely Three Grenadiers," fol-
lowing 1t with several lighter songs. Mrs.
Edith Mahon accompanied Mrs. Anders
and Mr.. Jackson.
Mrs. Robert Geddes. as chairman of the
entertainment committee. received the
guests.
An engagement of interest announced
last week in New York was that OF Miss
Dorothy Gray. daughter of Mrs. l.. A.
Gray. and Mr.. Mason Beverly Value.
Mason Value spent much of his time
here last year. You may remember his
sister. Caroline Value, was one of the
most popular girls the year she came out,
and an intimate friend OF Mrs. Nelson
Vulte, nee Gladys Turnbull, now one Of
the most popular OF the younger married
women in the Navy set.
