7 HEAR that Mrs. Bob Montgomery has
given up the little dancing class which
she has had for number Of years at her
Nlllanova home. Androssen. The reason
why is undoubtedly good one. The place
is rather far back from the station and
main roads. Last year. during the eX-
treme cold and deep snow, the class had
to be given up for weeks at "A time, as II
was almost impossible to get over the
roads. So Mrs. Henry Pepper NauN is
going to have the class this year and 1t
will be in town at Mrs. NauX's mothers
home, 1920 Locust street The first meet
ing will be held next Thursday. Mrs NauN
was Miss Frances Cramp, you remember,
and her mother is Mrs. Theodore W.
Cramp.
The class is too dear for anything; tots
from about ten 10 twelve Mrs. Charlie
Da Costa has the older class. from about
thirteen TO fifteen years of age. haven't
heard yet where that class will meet, for
you know Ashers has been taken over for
the United Service Club. and Mrs. Wurtss
class. for one. is TO meet at the Bellevue

Won't it be funny not to have an
Asher's? why back in the dark ages, it
seems to me, have always heard OF
dances at Asher's. Most of the present
debutante mothers made their debut
to+
Asher's Dancing Academy, at the Monday
Evening Dancing Glasses, when MIR, Will
liam White and later Mrs. George Boxer
were at the head Of the class. The old
Cinderellas started there, too.
Well. well; war makes lot of changes,
doesn't it?
VOU know it's quite an affair these days
l. to have a luncheon. "Posilutely," when
you hear of one you think the good old
days "befo' de wah" are coming back.
Even il it's only bridge club luncheon,
It's a party, anyhow, and even If you don't
belong to the bridge club and consequently
don't get invited, even If you would not
be invited anyway, you're glad about IT,
aren't you? Seems like old times, so to
speak.
Mrs. Rene Hare had her rortnighty
bridge club out at Stonyhurst for luncheon
and bridge last week. Eight of them alto
eether but they had a fine time. The
guests members of the bridge, were Mrs.
Robert Liggett, Mrs. Vail Marsh. Mrs.
Earle Johnson. Mrs. Elliot Newln, Mrs.
sydney Dunn and Mrs. Brinton Thomas,
besides Mrs. Hare and her mother-in-law,
Mrs. Emott Hare.
The Emott JIarcs and the Rene Hares
will close their Strafford house this week

Locust street for the winter
rTIIIs story has two sides. The first side
deals with two very lonely "gobs' chat

followed determined to see party II
they couldn't get in on one. The car
stopped in front of house, and the house
had French windows and the curtains were

This is the other side of the story. 4
group of girls met at certain house
where there was lots of room, to practice
for an entertainment they are going to
give for their Red Cross auxiliary. They
were having a big time singing and going
through lot of stunts when the doorbeH
rang and q. much embarrassed 'gob'
wanted to know if this was the place
where they sent for thirty-tive men from
the navy yard to come to dance
II wasn't, naturally, and he explained
that he and the sailor with him were with
a bunch who had been told to get OFF at n
certain street (which was some six blocks
away and walk four blocks. They hadn't
been told any direction, so they wandered,

This is where the two stories meet. After
the rehearsal, on the way home, brother
