adins Keeps.U .Up on the Main Line

YESTERDAY was quite an eventful day
L socially, wasn't It? Well you see. 1t
was because some persons were wise
enough 10 have some little parties for
the children and time honored Hallow Fen
gave everyone n chance to have some
wholesome fun. 1t makes one 60 back to
ones childhood days: and the srown-ups
] really think have as much fun as the
wee ones.
The George Buckley warders had a
party for their daughter Betty in the eve.
ming out at Chestnut HILL Most Of the
kiddies were of the school set About thir.
teen. fourteen and nfteen years old. you
know, and to say they had good time
was certainly true.
Another party out Chestnut Hillwards
was given by the Ed Norrises Tor their
daughter Emma Norris. another young
member of the school set. and still
another party was that given by Mr.. ana
Mrs. Robert Bicknell for their daughter
Frances. Here again the little guests were
members Of the younger school set. Ihey
were all informal affairs. but all the more
fun.

place around Chestnut Htll. but there were
some out on the Main Line too. And on

have the custom of dressing up and going
about in masquerade from house to house.

the interior OF n house which nao oee"
recently built? The owners were not IN
the Social Register, as It were: IN other
words. they we're not on their list. SO they
had not been visited by these same girls
or their families, when they moved INTO
the new home.
We'll these girls dressed up and went
around among their friends and they
found that one or two did not know them,
no they decided they would call at the new
house: they we're sure they could get away
with II. and they had heard 1t was
wonder. So they went, and imagine now
,,.v fe,t when they heard the hostess re.

floor, Blake; they came to see the mousse

turbed.'
that's a true one and served them right.
