AFTFR the opera tonight which VIII
~ no "La Boheme," with Caruso and
eoottI by the way, and so we are eX-
so.,ne a treat the James Francis
s,,ii,vans will entertain at supper and
sanoo of the Ritz-Carlton for Sarah
.,,orrose and Bessie Downs. Both these
r,rls seem to be having very good
zine: they have each had large balls
,,ven for them at the Bellevue by
.hoir respective progentors, and there
S.yo been innumerable theatre parties
,uncheons, dinners, dansants and all
binds of tests for them. There will be
principally members Of the deb set to-
night, though quite q few of the
,ounger married people will be there,
too.
As the days go on the members of
tbe Junior League are all becoming
moro and more interested in the enter
tainment which they will give on Feb
r,orv .. in the ballroom of the Belle
vue-stratford. 1 understand the scene
of the play, which is, by the way,
nantomine is laid in Florence and the
costumes are all to be of the 14th CEN
turv. Brilliant peacock blue, old rose,
emerald green, vivid orange and deep
nurple will be blended harmoniously
in the gowns which will be worn by
very up-to-date girls,
There will be two ballets running
through the play, for there is a plot to
II ALL one is a gorgeous yellow ballet,
which is to come in the first act to
divert the Florentine Ladies and Lords
seated in a garden, and the second, a
neasant ballet, will take place in the
third act in a street scene. The unique
feature in the performance is that all
those who are taking part are girls,
and the men in the yellow ballet will
he impersonated by Cornelia Leidy,
Cav Tilghman, Jean Thompson, Eliza
beth Henry and Gertrude Henry. Then
the Lords in the play will be Adeline
Pepper Lalite Wilcox, Mary Mitchell,
Susie Ingersoll and Elise Hopkins.
1t appears the second act is a very
spooky one, a silhouette scene, with
lights behind a white curtain, and the
actors will be in front of it. There
are to be blood-curdling acts, which
will take place in dark forest.
Doesn't it sound exciting? The name
Of the whole thing is "a Ballet of Or |
lando" Among the girls \, no will take |
, part are Anna Lewis, Helen Tower, |
Virginia Roberts, Gertrude Tower, Sibyl |
Wright, Eugena Cassatt, liza Fox, |

son, Margaretta Benson, Cecie Howell,

US who have seen Georgianna know
Z that we have a treat in store.
