large entertainments.
Mrs. Sanford's dinner dance of
Christmas eve given for her son, Sto-
phen Sanford, who has just been mus

the younger people and some of the
young married ones. 1t served also
a q housewarming, as Mr.. and Mrs.
Sanford have but recently taken pos
session OF the home in East Seventy
second street of the late James STILL
man. The dance following Mrs. San
ford's dinner brought together many
OF the Newport contingent.

not unlike hat OF Mrs. Sanford's, as
it was mainly for younger people.
