Mrs scotts Supper Club met up in
,hs Rose Gardens on Saturday and was
dalightfully informal and enjoyable.
The softened lights of the gardens
and the excellent dance floor help to
make parties there successful.
Mrs. Scott has the afternoon dan
ants In charge now, too, you know,
and Yesterday she inaugurated a tango
contest, in which a large number took
mart, and prizes were given. 1t was
extremely pretty to watch and the
dancers met with much applause. Mrs.
Henry Patton and Mrs. Sparks were
tealng together there, the latter in a
handsome black velvet outfit, and Mrs.
Patton in dark blue, with Il large black
hat
There was exhibition dancing at the
Supper Club by professionals, who have
just come from San Francisco. They
had danced in Frankfurt and Dresden
also before the war started and made
It necessary for them to come to Amer
lea. They danced wonderfully well.
The Meirses had a large supper party
Of 80 guests, and Mr.. and Mrs. james
Potter also entertained, as did the
Evans Roberts and Mrs. Ned Grocer.
Sam Chew had a number of guests, so
did the John Sinnotts, Charlie Potters,
Millers, Sam Huhns Will
lam Coleman Freemans and Ridgway
Reillys.
Every day I am more surprised to
lear some of the things the wee bird
ellis me, and, strange to say, 1 can't
get used to the fact that people who
are to all appearance well-bred can be
Is rude and inconsiderate as they are.
Only last week | attended a concert
1t which there were very many people,
'Ome of them among the smartest in
own; and to my utter amazement 1
leard a woman, who made no effort to
Whisper her remarks, but talked so loud
I was impossible not to overhear her,
the people in the boxes and
Idjacent seats and sparing no one in
Ter sharp sallies.
The concert was for a charity and I |
annot tell you how the object was
idiculed nor the amount Of ignorance |
IN the matter displayed by this lady |
so called, and as for the unkind, crit
cal remarks! 1t seems such a little |
hing to remember one should be a lady, |
tut l am afraid ladies" are rather |
ack numbers these days.
