Der hearing of lovely story several years
ago. Some people who were not so to
speak, of the chosen few of the Main
Line, bought a large stretch OF land and
built thereon a handsome house. The
people round about were most curious to
see the house, having heard that it was
very beautiful; but alas! the newcomers,
though Philadelphians, did not grace the
mystic social register with their names
Therefore, be it understood, neighborly
though it might have been and even re-
ouired by courtesy, no one of that con-
tingency would call on them. They were
"canaille," so to speak.
Came Halloween; and would you believe
1t, two young members of well-born fam
lilies, than whom very few hold their
heads higher, decided to take this house
IN in the course OF their usual country
visits with the witches. So, attired in
fantastic costumes and false faces and
accompanied by an older girl also dis
guised, they called at this house. The
butler ushered them into the parlor; but
the light, alas! was very low, and the
hostess, who fully realized her position
(and did not give a whoop about it) very
politely bowed and said, II shall be very
glad to have the butler show you the
house If 1t is your desire, but as 1 am
expecting visitors I must ask you to ex-
cuse mel" They felt about two inches
high, and I, for one, think they strongly
deserved it.

JUST GOSSIP ABOUT PEOPLE
Charity Ball Bids Fair to Be Very Brilliant-Hal-
loween Witches and COLLINS to PAY Their
Yearly Cals-A Tale or Two

THOUGH the Charity Ball has been a
i big event in itself for the last sew
eral years, there Is every expectation that
n will be unusually big and important this
year. In the first place, 1t will certainly be
the ball of the season, for with the Assem-.
bIies and Benedicks out OF the running
and a very unlikely Mdwinter ball, too,
q will be virtually the only affair Of its
kind. The committee has wisely decided
IN hold il in Christmas week, as during
that time we all perhaps feel it would be
more in the spirit of things.
The Charity Ball has been an annual
event for thirty-seven years and has
grown in importanceewith time. During
the last five or six years, instead of the
grand march, a special feature has been
the opening event Of the evening. One
year the students Of the Academy of the
Fine Arts gave a marvellous sort Of pan.

a huge opening dance in four groups rep
resenting the various beneficiaries Of the

dancing and costumes were a marvel of
color and grace.
This year the four benehcares will
represent four of the Allies Russia will
be represented by the University Hospital
group which is in charge of Mrs. Robert
Emott Hare; Mrs. De Witt Cuyler will
have the Children's Aid Society under her
wing and the dancers in this group will
represent France, while the Lying-in
Charity Hospital will represent Italy,
with Mrs Stricken Coles and Mrs. Alfred
Reginald Allen in charge of its members.
What the fourth nation will be has not
es yet been divulged but who can doubt
It will be Columbia, unless perchance il

shadow the whole four. You never can
tell, but so long as our minds and imagi-
nations are not hampered by the truth
we are free to let them fit gayly over
untrodden plains; so think what you will
about the fourth group until you hear
what it is to be and what it will do
Incidentally, there are to be forty-four
members in each nation, and so far hear
about twenty-five girls have been pro-
cured, but only a very few men have
been found who dance and who are able
to give the time to the practicing Most
Of the dancing men are away in camp or
else on the "other side" and those who
have not been able to do likewise are GER
tainly working overtime on Liberty Loan
and other business for their country. So
1t would not surprise me to hear that the
dance would have to be confined to the
ladies, though, goodness knows, they are
working hard enough also.
