Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1919-10-30

FTHE Logan tea was beautiful affair
l. yesterday, and every one was there.
And it really was nice, Just going to the
Bellevue, wasn't It? Today we won't
have to go very far, though, just TO
Overlook, where Margaret Gest is to
be introduced by her parents, Judge and
Mrs. Marshall Gcst.
You know Margaret is a sister Of Syd
Gest, who was on of the five Philadel-
phia boys who joined the marines at
the beginning of the war. They were
called the Fighting Five, and Percy
Glendinning. Sgd Thayer. Henry Geye-.
lin, Jr.. and Bobby Reath. the last of
whom lost his life in action, were the
others.
Margaret is extremely attractive and
has about every debutante there is to
receive with her, I think.
T HEAR the Joe Iarrisons have taken
i the Robert Girvins' house in Rose
mont The Sam BELLS had it in the
summer. Mr.. Girvin had rented it in
the spring to New York man, who, l
believe was connected with the emer-
gency feet and expected to be here this
season. But after he had been in Rose
mont about a month he was transferred
back to New York. and so he sublet
the house to Mr.. Bell. who has now
sublet it to the Harrisons.
Sarah Harrison is the debutante
daughter in that family. She has two
younger sisters, you know, who Will be
coming out now each year-Marga-
retta and Maud. They are very pretty
girls, too, but that goes without saying.
don't you think? Who every heard of
any one with Large blood who was not
pretty. They just naturally have to
be.
T,HE children at Miss Shipley's in
i Bryn Mawr, who are musically in
clined, are going to give concert for
the Orchestra fund on Friday afternoon
at the school, and ! believe 1t will be
very good. The glee club and the man
dolin club will give two numbers, and
Maisie Chance and Muriel Hodge are to
play on the piano. while Martha Scott
and Dorothy Hodge will play their
yiolins. These children are all mem
bcrs of the Junior Music Club, which
has been such n success of recent years.
There is no doubt about it, it's a
great thing to cultivate music in chill
dren, and especially q knowledge and
intelligent understanding of it, even II
there is not very special talent.
r HAVE seen some strange sights in
i the way of clothes of late, have you!
They say that many of the short
sleeved frocks have been worn in New
York, but it is only lately that they
have appeared among us. l, for one,
hope they won't stay very long, Tor
only to few are they truly becoming
but / won't tell about those. ,
The first of the kind that attracted
nv attention was worn by Sonia Blaess,
the young Belgian girl. She wore d
black velvet frock with very short
straight sleeves, at the Belgian reliet
the day the Cardinal paid his oficial
visit there.
Brownie Warburton has a very good
looking frock, which is becoming to
her. It is of brown tricolette with
golden lights through it. The skirt is
very short and the sleeves are finished
abruptly about five inches from the
shoulder, just straight, no trimming.
She wears with this frock smart
golden brown, turned brim hat of vel
vet which has tiny bow on the SIDE
But she does not wear this gown In the
street. 1t was at tea in the country
that I saw her 49,
Lisa Norris has brown velvet gown
which has bands of India shawling on
the skirt and sleeves. 1t has the same
very short sleeves and she wears very
good looking sort of oriental turban
with it.
r KNOW you like to hear about Ellen.
i / always do. Well, you see, as
said the other day, the family has
moved lately, and one day Mother tool
Ellen up to the attic with her and re-
marked as she Strengthened things
"What lovely bright room this is, we
must come up here often Mother coulC
sew and you could play.
And Ellen, who rendered sundry
dreams for den on fathers part added
quickly, "And daddy could studio.
