r HAVE become quito interested in
J. the Aviators' ball. which is to be-
IN n
ballroom
It's going to be quite remarkable as
they have planned to hold sort of
vaudeville stunt in the middle ot. the

air ride; for the winners OF the lucky
number dance.

7 heard too. that a specially rs to be q
cloud waltz and that during said
waltz there will be a miniature arr oat-
tle. Won't that be delightful:
II must have taken wonderful
amount of thought and ingenuity to get
the whole thing up. ! have not seer
much about it and think 1t is reaili
going TO. be '"hummcr" from what
heard yesterday.
r SAW Barbara Benson in Kitten
i house Square the other day. She wa
looking extremely well. and was wear
ing such a smart looking blue tailor
made suit with beautiful gray fox
fur. and small dark blue duvetync
hat with two large blue pompoms on
either side.
Barbara is dark and the gray fun
was most becoming.
TT REALLY is interesting to see hoV
i many Of the women who went abroa'
TO help with the nursing and Other
work during the war have become en-
gnged and married since their return
The latest engaged war worker is Chris
tine BiddftS Mrs. Alexander W. Biddl,'
daughter, a sister of Mrs. John Pent
BROCK. Mrs. A. j. Drcxel Paul and o
NIrn Thomas Charlton Henry. He
only brother, Aleck Biddlc. married
Margot Scull shortly before he went u
France. He is home now, by the way
and they are living at the Ritz. The!
have the dearest baby.
Christine Biddle is engaged to west
ern man, Edward Fish, a son of Mr.
A. NJ. Fish, of Minneapolis. | hav
not heard if Christine will go out ther
TO live or il he will move to Philadel
phia. A number of our women hav
become engaged TO westerners of late
90, it seems to me. We are no longc
little conservative Phiadelphians mar
rying and intermarrying among our
selves. It's a good thing, too. !
broadens the point of view to SCI
others viewpoints.
TALKING of recent brides and comm
i ones reminds me of ono who wa
married last spring and who has heeI
travelling on her wedding trip since
Now, they have settled down and hav
taken an apartment, and when the!
went to buy their furniture they wer
aghast to hear of the prices of things
SO bless you, she came home to Yisi
lately, 'and ] met her sister on tn
street last week and she said DO yo
know, it's perfectly astonishing hoy
many things there are about the hous
which Ethel had forgotten. belonged t.
her. She's discovering something ne,
every day" NANCY WTNNE.
