A DECIDED holiday spirit pervaded the
a meeting of Mrs. Charles Stewart
Wurts's dancing class last night at the
Bellevue Stratford You see, quite num-
ber of the boys and girls are home from
school for the Thanksgiving holidays and
there were a number Of dinners before
the meeting. Altogether it was quite
grown.up and smart affair.
The Henry Chapmans gave dinner for
their daughter and son, Helen and Joe,
and the Woolstons had one at their home,
slendon, in Chestnut Hill. for Nancy The
girls at that dinner were Sarah Duane,
Cecilia Zimmerman Sue Goodman, Bertha
Smythe and Virginia Carpenter, and the
boys In the party included Jimmie Farnum'
Ned Farnum George Harris, Jack Reeves,
Sigourney Wilson and Steve Woolston.
Quite jolly crowd.
Mr.. and Mrs. William Mclean gave
dinner before the meeting for their daugh-
ter Sarah, and the Joshua Ash Pearsons
also entertained for Bessie. There were
number of others too, and altogether 1t
was great night!
The girls of that age are so pretty and
look SO sweet in their dainty frocks and
silk stockings and slippers. :. Their hair is
so lovely and their pretty. half shy, half
Sophisticated manner makes them most
Interesting to watch.
T TOLD you the other day that Jack
a Walton had been commissioned second
lieutenant in the military police. Well
heard yesterday that the two Sharpless
boys '"Towne' and "Chink," were also
4 made second leutenants in the police, and
lin connection with this piece of news there
WAS rather an interesting tale.
You know John Butler, who married
Marion Sharples. He was first in the
lordnance out West, then later he sailed
for France and it appears he with another
american officer was attached to the
French artillery and served on the staf
of French general.
Of 10
trench mortar We're passing through Paris
on their way to Autun, where the military
police headquarters are, it happened that
lieutenant Butler was sitting at cafe
table having supper He saw an American
officer of the police come in and welcomed
him to his table. found he Was member
of the old Troop and asked if he knew
where Towne and Chink were.
Imagine his delight to hear that they
were not fifty feet away, just outside on
the street with a number Of other boys
So he rushed out and he and his two
brothers.in-law had supper together. Such
things as these were some of the delight
full spots in the awfulness of the war.
You know Marion and John nave the
dearest baby. He was born after his father
had gone to France and so he has never
seen him Marion is living with her par
ents out at Chelten Hills until John re-
turns, / hope they will settle down neal
here When they were first married they
lived in Jeanette, Pa, and then later
when John went into the Service they
moved all over the country-Kansas, Hi
nois and other Middle West States In
Nav they came back and then John sailed
from New York with such short notice
he could not even get word to his wife
But they'll all be coming home soon now
Isn't it jtst wonderful?
vTyELL, they entertained 'em last night
w, That is to say the chorus Of girls
told you about gave vaudeville show fol
the sailors, marines and soldiers up a
the Service Club at Asher's. The costume!
were SO ,attractive! Isn't it funny wha
costumes will do? When 1 went to on,
Of the rehearsals Of the stunt all the girl
z.yere In their street clothes and dark hat
and no makeup, and there are footlights
Last night they came out in white waist
and skirts with bright sweaters and hat
to match and makeup, and it made al
the difference in the world. I think the.
sang better, too. The men seemed to thinl
they did pretty WELL anyhow. The solo
were awfully good, too: l hadn't hear
them before. Mrs. Kellog was in fin
voice and apparently excellent spiritr an
fJacquelyn Green carried the most ridicu
lous little drum for one song, and all tn
chorus wore red white and blue Sar
Browne belts and overseas hats. 1T wa
agreat show. NANCY wYNNE.
