The Plays and Players club night
was a huge success and the perform
ers held the attention of their audi
ence through four acts of gentle COM
edy by Henry Arthur Jones, Dolly
Reforming Herself" The same de-
llghtfui air of informality and at
homeness that distinguishes the musi-
Gales and performances given by the
society in its playroom was injected
into the ballroom of the Bellevue
stratford, for instead of the usual row
Of stiff-backed chairs capacous sofas
were placed about in comfortable dis
order, 1t would be rather difficult to
single out any one of the cast for spe-
cial honors, for they were all so per-
fectly splendid Young Vinton Freed
ley, as Dolly's husband, was excellent,
as were Doctor Hoyt as Dolly's father,
and Joe Deering as the gay LothariO, !
Captain Lucas Wentworth, and equal |
ly good wero Mrs. Reber in the title |
role and Mrs, Phil Castner as the lam
gushing Mrs. Sturgess. William |
Hughes Mearns, Henry b. Schaffer, !
Jr, DreXel Steele and Mrs: Samuel |
woodward completed the very capable |
cast.
OF course, most of us are interested |
IN the Cushman Club tea which will be |
held this afternoon to meet Miss Pa !
rieia Collinge. of "Pollyanna" fame. |
These little teas are really delightful |
anairs, and every one who can go Is |
anxious to accept the invitations, which |
are really very scarce, and so when one
Is asked one is greatly privileged, 1 as
sure you.
one day last week told you of a
tair lady who had proceeded to run e
pocket comb through her hair during
supper at a recent dance, but imagine
my surprise the other night when I |
saw one of our most attractive and
much-feted debutantes actually chew
ing gum at ball. What are we coming
"' Why, only few years ago we
would not do such a thing even in the
privacy OF our own boudoirs. 1t is
vulgar in spite of all that the signs
say about its helping digestion. Gra-
e'ous' Our mothers tell us it was vul-
gar In their time to talk of digestion
