The second Cinderella cotillon was
tsld last night in the Rose Gardens Of
,,o Bellevue- -Stratford, and was very
,niovable, though a number of the
r,enbers have gone "up North" and
rdown South" It is pleasant to have
,oue of the subscription affairs stick
"a the old cotillon, for the various fig
,,res make a diversion in the evenings
dancing. and even though not spurred
~ IN success by attaching numerous
tovors. as there are none at the Gin
aoreIIas. still it is something different,
and that means a great deal. We go to
oarties and we one-step and foX-trot
and waltz and even maXiXe bit; and,
,oo. we go again and again and do it
over and over and enjoy it, but still we
al like a change. The Cinderellas are
about the smartest subscription affairs
after the Assembly, which, of course
stands alone. They are distinctive in
that no debs are asked, and they begin
early and end at midnight. which Is a
boon for the business man.
The Craig Biddles entertained at
dinner last night before the cotillon
and the Stewart Wurts gave a dinner
OF 16 covers.
The death of Mrs. D. Leeds Miller
Al her home in Haverford on Monday
cast the shadow of a great sorrow on
her family and friends. Mrs. Miller,
who was a cousin of Mrs. Clement A
Grlscom, was widely known in this
city and greatly loved as we'll She
leaves three daughters, all of whom
are married. The eldest is Mrs. File
brown, who lives at Paoli, and with
Mrs. Meredith has a small tearoom
there and also all sorts of odds and
ends which are curious or unusual
Mrs. Miller herself ran Il delightful
tearoom in Bryn Mawr, and her
daughter Isobel. who married Steve
Morris, has been actively engaged in
moving picture work. The youngest
daughter, Nellie Miller, married
Charles D. Carey, of Wyoming. Mrs.
Miller had the respect of many peo-
pie for the way in which she took up

The Ritz was gay with luncheon par
ties yesterday afternoon, but quite the
most noticeable was that given by Mr..
Santcs- Dumont for Frances and Leta
Sullivan and Gladys and Robert Hinck-
ley, of Washington. The table was de-
llghtfully decorated with spring flow
ers, and rather an interesting feature
Of the menu was the "Pommes Santos
Dumont," which were sent to the table
as a reminder of the days when Mr..
Santos Dumont began his career in
aviation. So popular was he in Paris
at that time that the maitre d'hotcl in
one of the smartest restaurants evolved
"souffle" which was known as the
"Pommes Santos Dumont," and which
resembled an airship in shape, The
noted aviator was delightfully."- sur
prised when the familiar dish was sent
10 his table.
1t was rather amusing to note the
Expression on the faces of all the party
after luncheon, when they reached their
motor to find themselves facing bat
terry of cameras, but Mr.. Santos-Du-
mont after a slight frown bowed cour-
teously to the photographers, and stood
smiling while they snapped him, the
rest of the party scurrying into the car
for protection.
Others who lunched at the Ritz were
Mrs Craig Biddle, who was smartly
sowned in black broadcloth and beaver;
the Tom Ridgways, who were with Mrs,
William Donner; Harry Tucker and
AeHarg Davenport, of New York; Mrs.
robert strawbridge and Mrs. John
Converse.
