the meeting of Mrs. j. Hutchison
scotts Supper Club on Saturday night.
way, 1t was the last one of the i.rst
series These supper dances have be-
come so very popular that there is
duite a waiting list for membership,
and Mrs. Scott has decided to start a
second series of dances, beginning next
week.
On Saturday night it was necessary
to throw open both the Rose Garden
and North Garden to accommodate the
guests, and let me say here a word as
to the management. Things certainly
do 60 we'll at the Bellevue. There were
all sized tables for large and small
parties, and every one was most eff
GENTLY served. Two orchestraS had to
be placed, for the Rose Garden was too
crowded for every one to dance in there
SO all that had to be planned out and
arranged for, and / don't think it
could have been better.
No one expected to do anything but
dance and sup, and behold we were
given a surprise in the appearance Of
the funniest octet of darkies, who,
dressed to kill" danced and cake
walked. much to their own enjoyment
as well as the laughing guests, for
they were extremely funny, especially
little man with a red Turkish cap and
a swallow-tailed dress suit made of
bed ticking or awning material in
large and wide stripes. They were a
source of keen amusement, and 1t was
restful to stop "toeing the light fantas-
tic" for a short space of time to watch
these more than comic entertainers,
There were a great many parties, and
several girls up from Baltimore, among
them Selby Zell, who was guest of the
Spencer Millers, but it's almost impos-
sible to say who is a guest of who at
these parties, for we all change around
so much from table to table, because,
you see, every one knows every one else.
Mrs. Alfred Norris and Dorothy had
party and the Charles A. Potter Jr,'s
nad eight guests, among them Anne
Spencer who is sister of Mrs. Potter.
Heath Barnard entertained a large
party. His sister. Margaret looked so
lovely in stunning gown of light-blue
pompadour SILK, made with a high
backed bodice and open, square neck.
Mrs. Henry Augustus Berwind en-
lertained for Margaret, and Mrs. Rob-
ert W. Downing also had a large num-
Der Of guests.
Mr.. and Mrs. William Coleman Free
man had table, and among her
guests was Charlotte Balm, who looked
very sweet in dark blue chiffon
frock.
