Miss Orah Moneypenny entertained
her bridge club this afternoon. Miss
Alice Griffin played for Mrs. George
McDermott.
Mrs George A Clark will entertain
the D. D. Whist club the Monday after
New Years.
Among the women there is a gen.
eral timing of just how long it takes,
or should take, for a woman to dress.
! Mrs. William G. McAdoo, the daughter
| of the president, probably started the
discussion by putting her outside limit
at twenty minutes. She was outdone
| by Mrs. Carter H. Harrison, jr., of
| Chicago, with a record of 10 u min
| uteS Many actresses think these rec
| ords far too slow, and second splitting
| watches have been devised to measure
the time accurately. Business women
usually take longer, because they dress
for the entire day and cannot depend
/
women have. Among the actresses
who do phenomenally quick dressing
are Elsie Janis and Charlotte Green
wood. Miss Janis, in the Century Girl,
dresses completely in 4 Y minutes,
with the help of her mother. Miss
Greenwood dresses for $50 Long,
Lefty" in 8 u minutes, but her gar
ments are made without hooks, and
no pinning is needed. Edith Talia-
ferro in Captain Kidd" dresses in foug
minutes. and Julia Marlowe, as Juliet
| often dressed in three minutes. But
i it is to be remembered that the Juliet
robes, and many other actresses gar
| ments are in one piece, simply fastened
down the back.
So 1t seems that women are unjustly
| accused in the stories that tell of the
patient husband or the long suffering
escort, waiting hour after hour fol
Milady to get into her flnery.
