ND you know that the Robert L. Mont
- gomerys have changed the date. of their
dance for Hope from April to March 81?
1.understand there was something to inter-
fere with the April s arrangements, and
% Il was changed to a Monday instead of
rGaturday. The invitations making the
change were received this morning. The
party is to be held at Ardrossan, the Mont.
k0merys' country home at villanova, which
10 n wonderful place. 1t was built about
sight or ten years ago, and the dance floors
are simply great.
hear there are quite number of din
ners in the planning before the party. The
little bird told mo that the Paul Millses
will give dinner for Frances. but do not
think the invites are out yet for that. Tho
party is for Hope, who is member Of the
younger school set, children around four
teen, fifteen and sixteen. I think they will
have q wonderful time. Mrs Montgomery
Is always a most gracious hostess.
Wasn't she lovely as Nine. Recamier
IN the French tableaux on Friday, the 2sth
~ February? She looked even prettier off
the stage than on. And two of the Mont
gomery children who went with their
father to see their mother were thrilled
with her beauty. You should have seen
them; they were simply wreathed in
sznilesl
of COURSE It was a Caruso night, last
~ night and so you know that the opera
house was jammed to a finish. And be-
sides, there are few operas that are more
greatly in favor than La Boheme, so as 1
remarked before, it was some crowd.
Mr.. Stotesbury was in his box, having
returned from Palm Beach. His daughter
Mrs. Sydney Hutchinson, who looked ex-
/. tremely we'll in a blue and silver gown,
/. did the honors as hostess, for Mrs. Stotes-
bury has not as yet come back. Edwina
Bruner Wetherill was a guest in the
Stotesbury box and she certainly did look
well. Edwina has such a wonderful figure
and her very pale pastel green ffock Of
Jbrocaded velvet fitted her exquisitely.
Mrs. Caruso, who has been on here for
oyery performance in which Caruso has
sung. since her marriage was in one of
the lower boxes and held quite a court
between the acts. Mrs. James Starr was
one of those who visited the box. It's the
first time have seen Mrs. Starr in even
ming clothes for quite while, but she cer-
tainly did look well in black net and tulle
gown. Her sister Mrs. Stewart Wurts was
IN one of the grand tier boxes and had on
a gown of the most gorgeous shades of
geranium rose red velvet with a bodi-e of
lace and rhinestones. |
Il The Charlton Yarnalls had their daugh.
ter Mrs. Arthur Emlen Newbold jr and her |
vtster-in.law Mrs. Fitz.Eugene Newbold |
With them in their box, the latter in a |
gown of geranium velvet and Mrs. Arthur |
Newbold in black georgette crepe. |
q Lisa Norris and Mary Norris were in the |
Riddle box. Lisa mas her hair bobbed as |
has Mrs. Caruso. Lisa had on a dainty |
white satin frock with long sash and |
Mary had a blue gown. Mary is not yet |
out, but she will probably make her debut
next year. And do you know she is ex-
thSmely pretty. Young Mrs. John b.
INityer Sd was in the box with her grand
mother Mrs. Cassatt but did not go out to
proiu enade.
y Every opera night one sees more and
more new gowns appear 1t shows the
war is over in so far as economy in frocks
& conceu.1ed.. don't you think.
4 HEAR that the Comitato pro Italia,
= which ~ the Italian committee of the
Emergency Aid. is to have a ."Benehzio
yenza sacriffxAo." or rummage sale. at the
speciality shop 1876 South Fifteenth during
The week of March II. It's to help the
var orphans of Italy. just as the sale be-
'bre it is for the fatherless children of
France. There seams to be a tremendous
seed for funds for these poor little things,
Is people who are working in their interest
~ that very little nancy has been given !
tajy from outside countries for this pur-
Dpss.
THE Rev. Walter Low,rie. who has been
por there, tells about this In a letter which 4
krs. Benjamin Miller has. I'll give you a
Ather pathetic extract fromht: 1T seems
. me that, after all. the worst sufferers in
his whole great catastrophe OF modern
Ines are the little children. and I shall
Hver forget the typical and general ex-
'ression of wondering pain in theh' eyes as
hsy look at me from the little cNowd of
iilagers who have SO often gathered about
ny car in so many places in Italy"
4. 7 believe the wave Of influenza carried
way even more parents than tho war
|self. So you see they are really quite
nstitute, and Mrs. Miller and her conn
1tttee, who are so earnest in all their
FORK. are giving this sale to get as much
> possible for them. And the things that A
hey sell are most interesting. 1 have been
bid that the things that are most popular. 4
I these sales are phonograph records, eve-
Ing gowns and mems dress shirts which
cry often go to walters. II would be en-.
Waning. wouldn't It, to know that the man
mo is bringing your chicken la King is
,saring your husbands dress shirt which
