Don't you know they're going to have
good time? They are both attractive, and
you know the Yale men have the reputa-
ton Of being marvellous dancers; so I
foresee one grand" and glorious week.
end for those two girls. Both of them are
Emergency Aid Aides and have been work
ing pretty hard. so they really deserve
good time, though can scarcely realize
that Banning Is old enough to go to one
OF the "Proms." with her "bobbed" head.
she does not appear more than thirteen or
fourteen years, though as a matter Of fact
she Is sixteen seventeen and will be
making her debut next year. She is the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. William Drayton
. Grange and a niece of Major and Mrs.
Louis Rodman Page, Jr., and a most popu-
lar young person.
ND you know that George Wharton
- Pepper, Jr, has had the mumps down
in Fortress Monroe, Va? And so, though
he has been In this country for more than
a week, has not vet been able to come
home to see his wife and family. How
ever. he really is recovering fast now and
will come up the latter part OF this week
to st. Davids, where Marion and the chill.

MTHAT did you think of the surprise Bart
w Hirst "sprang or sprlng," whichever
you say? Married nearly year ago and
never said a word about it.
And Mrs. Hirst who was Christine Hare
went over to France and did war work.
l don't see how they ever kept it. Never
told until she came back from the other
side, either, though Bart returned nearly
six weeks ago. And they say a woman
can't keep secret!

l. Hospital Social Service is going to be
a great success. and 1t seems likely it will
give the dance for the members of the
school set and during the time of the boys
spring holidays It's to be at the Merton
Cricket Club, you know. on the evening of
March "a, and a lot of prominent women
out Main Linewards are interesteAin it.
They are more than anxious to raise funds
for the social service work at the hos
pital, or rather connected with the hos
pital. For as is the case with most of the
hospitals, the resources were depleted
during the influenza epidemic Of the fall.
Some of the women who are working
for the success of the dance are Mrs.
William r. Philer. Mrs. Sabin W. Cotton,
Mrs. George Packard. Mrs. Kenton Eisen-
brey, Mrs. Howard Eisenbrey Mrs. Will
liam A. Lieber, Mrs. Arthur ID. Smith. Mrs.
Henry Earnchaw, Mrs. Charles Sinnick-
son, Mrs. Arthur Baugh and several others.
T AM so glad to hear that Dr. Ben Reath
is better. You know he was i'll for some
time at the University Hospital. He went
out West for the government last summer
and contracted some infection which pois-
oned his system temporarily. He is now
so much better that he and Mrs. Reath
Florida for a change of air, and all his
friends are hoping to see them return, the
doctor once more his vigorous strong self.
He has always been such a picture of
health 1t has been hard to realize that he
has been i'll.
While her parents are in the South, AL

staying with her grandmother, Mrs. Albert
Pancoast at the Aldine Hotel. Alberta
goes to school in Bryn Mawr, while her
brother, Pancoast, is at st. Pauls.
Alberta is very pretty, with brown, curly
hair in which there is a decided golden
tint and large brown eyes. I saw her re-
Gently at a party wearing pale green
frock which was wonderfully becoming.
LIE COULD not go and sing at the con-
IL cert as they had expected, because.
you see, they went and had the concert on
a day when he was scheduled to play bas-
ketball. So they had to have it without
him, and l must say from the tales
heard the songs rather suffered on that
account. Then the hostess announced that
not be there and she added lie has a
beautiful voice and he'll sing next time"
When the family told John about It he
was fearfully bored and remarked: "Well
Mrs. B is a very nice woman; yes she
is. but she talks too much. STILL" he
added thoughtfully, "beng a woman she
can't help that" NANCY wYNNE.
