n is a pretty thing to see how the
,Nf Nn1n n rn
interested in doing kind things for
others and how their elders spur them
m in their undertakings. Last Satur-
day. for instance, little Maisie Chance
and Helen Chance, who are the daugh-
TORS of DR.. and Mrs. Burton and con-
seouently grand of Mr.. and
Mrs. Edward F. Beale (Mrs. Chance
was Rydie Beale), gave a musicale at
their home in Radnor for the benefit
of Queen Mary's Needleworl Guild, of
which Mrs. John Harvey Gordon, of
Bryn Mawr, is the leader. The children
arranged and managed the musicale
entirely by themselves, and $50 was
cleared. Among their little friends
who were interested were Dorothy
Hodge and Muriel Hodge, Virginia
. Heckscher, Mary Baltz Carroll and
Theodore Spencer. The children played
various selections on the piano. violin
and cello, and it was really very
good performance.
hear that one of our young bachel-
ors, who for the last few years has
been making his home in n city on one
Of the Great Lakes, was known there as
the "Debutantes' Idol" 1t seems that
this same young man, says the little
Bird, recently returned to this city and
chose for himself a future wife right |
from his own home town, and thusly |
did he disappoint all the young girls
and several mammas who had hopes |
that their ow daughters might have
succeeded in keeping the young mans
affections to the West. However, such |
r,was not the case, and they are all look |
ing forward now seeing the girl of
his choice, for she will soon make a |
visit in that city.
OF course they are wondering what |
she is like; whether she is pretty-tall |
or short-light or dark-plump or slen- |
der; but, take it from me, she is n |
J sumner and by far one of the prettiest
girls in the younger set here; and !
with the reputation for good looks |
which Philadelphia girls have that is
going some. Don't you think?
1t seems to me, however. that some |
Of those cities on the Lakes can boast |
a bit now and again about the looks |
Of their girls, witness Mildred MacAr-
thur whose engagement to Howard |
Hansell was announced in late No |
vember. l have not seen her. but I |
have seen her picture and let me tell |
you there are not very many in this |
city of Brotherly Love who can hold |
a candle to her for beauty and for |
charm, too, if all l hear is true, and / |
have reason to think it is.
The Plays and Players will hold |
vue-Stratford ballroom this evening. |
The play will he Dolly Reforming |
Herself" and some of the foremost |
members Of the club will appear in the |
leading roles. Usually these affairs |
nave been given in the clubrooms on |
18th street or in the Little Theatre and |
90 the guests have had to be limited; |
however, tonight each member has |
been allowed to invite a number of |
quests, so it will be an extremely gay |
and festive occasion.
