TTAVE you heard about the Tea bon
- It's the cutest idea. It's miniature
tea room which has been built at the
Crossways and Montgomery avenue in
Merton. And it is made to look like tea
box on the outside. It's been built for
sort of stopping place for passing motor
lists, and there will be tea and toast ana
other light refreshments "on tap" as it
were.
The entire proceeds from the sale or
refreshments will go to the beneht OF re-
turning Army and Navy men. Mrs. Howard

rr1tIAT do YOU know about the name
w Charlie Morgan has given to the
nageant for the Charity Ball The Eyes vi
American Youth?" And bless you the eyes
are to be represented by no fewer imam
four hundred members of our younger seI'
who will dance and gesticulate through
a. fantastic medley of patriotism and grace
sufficiently to feast the eyes of "old' as
we'll as young"
Since the war is virtually over 1t mas
been decided to turn the Charity BAH pa
geant into a sort of peace celebratioi. ana
there will be a spectacular presentation Oh
Victory in every detail.
Thank goodness Susie Ingersoll Bullltt
won't have to go walking around as she
did last wear as Belgium. Wasn't it awful?
In the midst of all that brightness and
rayety stalked Mrs. Bullitt in black from
head to foot, and garments of woe trail
ing off from her head hands and feet. She
was so pretty too.
The ChaperOneS TOT edCll Bloup dic hhi u
at it asking one hundred girls to dance
Think of it, I'll bet many of the popular
ones will be asked to be in all four groups.
It's a question Of who asks first gets 'em,
guess.
The women who have charge of the
groups are Mrs Cap Hacker, Mrs. Morris
Clothier, Mrs. Emott Hare, Mrs. Ben
Rush, Mrs. Ned Ilsley, Mrs John w. Dray.
ton, Mrs John c. Groome, Mrs. Norman
Macleod and Miss Edith Bent By the
way the balls on the Goth, you know, the
day after Christmas.
DID you know that Jack DreXel had
~ been very i'll at the Bryn Mawr Hos
pital? He had the "fiu" at first and then
complications brought on typhoid fever.
He married Bessie Thompson last April,
in New York and they stayed around in
this part of the country for while,
intending to go out west to Jacks ranch,
but the last l heard he had been i'll and
had been in the hospital for five or six
weeks. Mrs. DreXel, his mother who was
Miss Alice Troth of this city. came on last
week to see him at the Hospital. She was
out in California in the spring and was
taken ill there and therefore was unable
to attend Jack and Bessie's wedding, which
was a very pretty, but quiet affair, as
those We're war times. Doesn't it seem
wonderful to say there aren't war times?
Somehow you can't adjust yourself to
thinking in. after the war; terms, can
you?
The latest bulletins about Jack were
that he will soon be able to SO home. l
imagine, however they will wait some time
before going to the far west. 1t takes a
good while to get over typhoid.
WHEN you talk about the war and it's
w being over don't you feel as if you
could be suddenly frightfully extravagant
and go to the theatre every minute and
eat box after box of candy and fudge and
sundaes? And you know we really have to
help them over there to eat more than
ever. Still, you do feel that way, even if
; YOU don't put it into practice. don't you?
I think small Adele who was visiting
friends of mine with her mother on Mon
day put it aptly. She said Mamma, is
It really peace?' Yes, dearie. it is,'
"Oh!!! Can we waste food again?" Sc
there you are.
