The opera last night was as usual
q brilliant affair, for all the stay-at-
homes and those who have returned
from the South and West turned out
in gala array for the joy of hearing
Caruso in I'll Pagliacci." Hackneyed
though the opera is, there are those
who will go any length to hear the
prologue and the famous "Ridi Pag-
liacci," and certainly 1t was hard last
night to realize that Lent had really
come upon us. Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel
L. Hutchinson, Jr, entertained charm
ing boxful of young people, including
Eugenia Cassatt, Lisa Norris. Mary
Bohlen, Danny Hutchinson, Evans
tucker and Penn Smith, Jr. They all
left for the Ritz for supper and dancing
afterward.
There were beautiful gowns worn,
though not many new ones graced the
horizon, as the season is we'll nigh
over.
This afternoon society will hasten
with happy feet to the Little Theatre,
where Miss Draper, who is the
guest of Miss Florence Caldwell
during her stay here will appear in
series of monologues. And by the way,
think the posters announcing this fact
are among the most attractive ones 1
have ever seen. She is certainly n
delightful person and 1 hope we will
soon be able to hear her again.
hear the Willie Whelens had a bad
time travelling in southern California:
indeed they went through a most thrill
Ing experience in the recent floods.
At one time on motor trip the
water was three inches deep in the
machine, They had to ford streams
where the bridges had been swept
away. Mrs. Whelen has been writing
the most interesting letters to number
of her friends about it all. They eX-
peet to return home about April l,
understand and are at present in San
Francisco. NANCY WYNNE.
