M course, I was pretty well sur
nrIsed to hear yesterday that Harry
adams had married his sister-in-law,
Mrs Harry Hudson Smith. The cere-
mony. I am told was performed in
Nov York at the Church of the Trans
sauration on Monday very quietly.
Mr. Adams first wife was Miss Mabel.
e Smith, the daughter of the late c.
poss Smith, and a sister of the late
q Ross Smith, Jr., and Harry Hudson
smith. For n time after the first Mrs.
Adams death Mr.. Adams lived in
washington, but when 1t was time to
bring out his daughters he returned
10 this city, and three years ago in
troduced his elder daughter Phoebe,
who last year married young George
Harding. This year Mr.. Adams intro
duced his second daughter, Elizabeth,
at a large dansant at the Bellevue
stratford. The new Mrs. Adams was
Miss Margaret Newbold, niece of
the late Mrs. John Lowber Welsh, who
was a Newbold, and with whom Mrs.
Adams lived until her marriage to
Harry Smith. She has two daughters,
Miss Margaret Newbold Smith and
EVELYN n. Smith. Mr.. Adams has a
son, Harry a. Adams.
Small Rachel Filter had a wonderful
time last night at the supper dance
given for her by DR.. and Mrs. George
Fales Baker at the Bellevue Stratford.
The Bakers always entertain so lavish
ly and with such good taste that 1t
really was a wonderful party. The
dancing took place in the ballroom,
which was beautifully decorated with
palms and various cut flowers, and
supper was served, so to speak. all over
the place, at small tables in the Glover
room, Redroom, Pinkroom and in the
Railways. 1t was n most successful
affair, and the little debutante looked
as sweet as a peach.
The Stricken Coles are to utilize Mr..
Walter Lippincott's ballroom, which
very conveniently adjoins their own
home, for small dance tonight. Most
Of the guests will be from the younger
married set although l know of a
Jew of the younger dancing men not
yet benedicts who have been included
n the invitations.
Colonel William ]. Elliott and Mrs.
Elliott are to give dance this evening
1t the picturesque Sedgiey Club, in the
Park, for their young daughter Betty,
NHo dtNSildS SCIlOol, L DelleNe, Ut west
over. She has been heralded several
lines as a debutante but this, of
course, was a mistake, as she is still
very young, although she probably will
come out next season. Mrs. George
Brooke's daughter Lucille Carter, an
other member of the school set, will
give little informal tea this afternoon
at her home on West Rittenhouse
Square. This is a charming custom,
which is gradually being revived.
even among our younger generation.
Nancy Cook and Emley Cook, the
popular daughters of Mr.. and Mrs.
Gustavus Wynne Cook. will be given
n luncheon and matinee theatre party
this afternoon by their mother, and
another party will be given for Esther
Lallou by her grandmother, Mrs.
George Spotz. of 1925 Spruce street.
Although Esther is not yet out. her
guests will be mostly debutantes:
namely, Jean Bochman. Louise Grey.
Agnes Allen, Denise Mercur Peggy
'erot, Mary Cerboni Mary Scull and
Helen Gleason. NANCY WYNNE.
