don and I must say this charming room
lands itself particularly well to affairs of
This kind. There Is m air of coziness
that is quite unequalci, although it does
crowd up n bit. In fact. on saturday 1t
was necessary to place tnhlcs oHtsde Tn
the corridor to accommodate the number
Of members who came late and had neg.
lected to reserve tables far enough ahead.
The Meyer Davis Orchestra, IN the
balcony. quite outdid itself in the mum.
her of encores and altogether the uccn.
sion was very festive.
The largest party was that given by Mrs.
Gustavus Remak, who had a long table at
one end of the room and gathered some
eighteen of tho debutante set around the
board. The honor guests were Betty
Trottcr and Sophie Baker. Then Mrs.

TNHB French committee of the Emer'
L gency Aid gave a production of the
pictures of the field service OF the Amer
ican Ambulance last night at the Little
Theatre. on De LanCey street above Sev-
enteenth. 1t was really very interesting,
and three of the men who had been driv'
ing ambulances in the war zone were
there to make explanatory comments on
the pictures-Grey Dayton, Brooke Ed.
wards and Yorko Stevenson, If you please.
Brooke and Grey came home before
Yorle, but they went over earlier, you
know, so they have all had about the
1ame length OF experience. All three
men were very interesting and had many
experiences to tell. Miss Agnes Repplier,'
whose outspoken sympathy for the Al.
lies is very great gave a short and as
usual witty address, which was greatly
appreciated by her audience. The pa.
tronesses of the meeting included Mrs,
John Cadwalader, Mrs. Gardner Cassatt,
Mrs. Thomas Fl. Fenton, Mrs. NJ Filter,
Mrs. John Markoe, Mrs J. Willis Martin,
Mrs j. Kearsley Mitchell. Sd, Mrs. John
H. McFadden, Mrs. Arthur Emlen New
bold, Mrs Alexander Van Rensselaer,,
Mrs. Barclay II. Warburton, Mrs. George
Woodward, Miss Mary *. Gibson and
Miss A. c. Knight.
The Little Theatre was crowded with
guests, in spite of the fact that the pic
lures had already been exhibited three
times here before Christmas.
