THERE will be one debutante tea to-
J. day and a theatre party and supper
nt the Ritz, so that will be fine send
off for the beginning OF the week. Mary
TAYLOR knight will be given tea by
her mother, Mrs. Bradford Knight, at
the Acorn Club from 4 until half after
+ 9 o'clock.
Mary is exceedingly pretty, tall and
dark. with brown hair and very un-
usually lovely dark eyes. She is grace
full and exceedingly we'll liked.
Her father. who died some years ago,
was a brother of Mrs. Charles Borda,
of Jenkintown. So Mary is cousin
: of Mrs. Harold Cross, Mrs. Tom
Royster, of Katherine, Edith, Eugenia
and the three Borda men.
Speaking Of the Bordas. did you knoWv,
that Helen and her husband and small
son have been up here and have only
inst returned to the Virgin Islands
where Doctor Royster Is stationed?
They we're to have gone back about
three weeks ago, but with the sailings so
mixed up in New York. we're held up
quite a while. The baby Is perfectly
lovely. He's nearly year old and as
cunning as cunning can be. 1t was
certainly nice to see Helen again.
To return to the knight tea, twenty
Of the debs will receive with her, and
q I0eT6 Will uo uhhNlbs'
TIME theatre party and supper after
4 ward at the Ritz will be given by
Alexander Post. of Baltimore, for Polly
Thayer, and from the number who have
been asked to attend I should say 1t S
going TO be a dandy party.
Every one is a debutante except Peggy
Thayer, and she, of course, is going TO
> parties almost as n debutante. because
she was wartime bud you know and
isn't twenty vet either, so why not go
to parties when you are wanted!
TrAyE you heard about the Oriental
\ II bazaar or "Bazar d'Orient" that is
10 be held on December and 4? It's
going to be a wonder from all / hear.
The Armenian committee of the Elmer
i gpncy Aid will have the affair in charge
and it will be held at 1915 Chestnut
street, the old building which was once
the Chestnut Street Female Semi
nary" Don't you love it? Wouldn't
you just love to go to female semi
nary? And yet in those days that was
absolutely the proper name to give
girls school.
Be that as it may, the bazaar is to
be held there and, do you know, some
prjceless Persian rugs are TO be hung
up as an exhibit on the walls. Each
one to be lent by it's owner for the. oc-
casion. Then they are going to have
a crystal gazer and an Oriental oeggar,
and burn incense and have Armenian
coffee and eastern delights and sweet
meats.
There will be any number Of booths,
and most Of the women OF the Finer
gency Aid will work for the affair. There
Is to be a useful booth and a vanity
booth, and flowers and fruits Will be
sold. Mrs. George Fales Baker is to
have the flowers, and is sure. to make
the window a gorgeously inviting sight.
Mrs. Fred Powers is to have antique
and Oriental articles, and Mrs. Chandler
will have the vanity table. Mrs. George
Iorimer, who is chairman of the Ar =,
menian committee, will have the affair
in charge generally. Mrs. Barclay, war
burton is to have one table and Mrs. Mrs
Campbell Madeira will help. Miss
Eloise Dickey is another hard worker,
and Mrs. Edward Thomas. Mrs. Ar
tbinpton Gilpin, Mrs. E. Burd Grubb,
Mrs. Fred English, Mrs. Charles Nc
Lean, oh, | just can't remember all
who are in 1t. -,
One very attractive feature will be
the twelve girls who will act as aides,
and who will wear wonderful oriental
English, Esther Bochman, Mary Der
cum Judith Jennings, Anna Mary
Walthour, Dorothy Ely, Mary Knight,
Caroline Nixon, Caroline Valentine
Rachel Price and Corinne Freeman.
CHE is just two and a half, and she
+ - really is a darling But sometimes
she does not want to eat at suppertime
and prefers to play. So the other day
when they sat down in the dining room
of the hotel where they were living, and
Polly refused to eat and raised Cain
generally, mother fixed her with an
eye and said: .,
"One Of two things, Polly, either
you eat your supper like a little lady
or Daddy will give you a spanking.
Which do you want?"
And Polly replied nonchalantly'
Can you picture it? Poor daddy s
feelings! However, it had to be car
ried through, and so he arose from the
table and, taking Polly by the hand
walked the length of the room.
For days other guests in the hotel had
tried to speak to Polly and engage her
X in conversation, but she would not, But
this time she stopped at most OF the
tables and smilingly remarked:
'He's a dear Daddy" Such nice
Daddy never looking at Daddy, but
telling every one else.
Don't you think it took a strong man
to carry out that promise? Well, he
must have been, because l understand
Ae u'A' NANCY wYNNE.
