Ellanor came out this past season, you
know, and had quite a wonderful time
from all l saw and heard. She is very
pretty and has very good taste in the

light to the eye, you may be sure.
She was the originator. you remember,
Of the vaudeville performance which was
given last month in the Little Theatre
for charity and which was really awfully
good. Most of the pretty debs ito be-"
and that were" took part, and Elizabeth
Dallas danced and Uytendale Baird Gamer,
assisted by one or two other girls, gave
short one-act play. 1t was a great sue.

hear that Eugene Simonin is expected
home either today or tomorrow from
France. He sailed more than a week ago.
He has been there since Christmas time
driving the ambulance which his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Frederick Simonin gave
him for a Christmas present which
