Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1919-10-28

THREE debutantes today! But only
4 two teas, for the simple reason that
Mrs. Charles Wheeler will introduce
two at her tea in Bryn Mawr and Mr..
and Mrs. Irwin King will introduce
their daughter Katherine out at their
home The Brick House on West
Walnut Lane, Germantown. That's
better than IL one were in Chestnut
Hill and one on the Main Line.
It's much less of a trip from Bryn
Mawr to Germantown or vice versa
than to Chestnut Hill. As all three of
the debs are very popular girls there
will be much traffic over the roads me-
thinks.
Miss Ethel Wheeler and whose father
is DIR. Henry Norris, formerly Of this
city also, is of course Mrs. Wheeler &
granddaughter and Ruth Hobart is a
sort of step granddaughter in that
she is Mrs. Charles Wheeler Jr. s
daughter by former marriage. Mrs.
Wheeler will give the tea at Pembroke
this afternoon for those two debutan
tes.
KATHERINE KING, as. / told you,
1A is the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Irwin King. Her mother was Virginia
woman and is perfectly charming and
katherine is very sweet. She is tall
and has dark hair and eyes and I must
say | have seldom seen n young girl
with as much style. She holds herself
wonderfully and wears her clothes with
a decided air.
There will be dancing at the King
party and among the debutantes who
will receive with Katherine are Nancy
hi Mur Eoh M,
Jones, Emile Noble, Elisabeth Ross,
Elizabeth Barlow, Marian Baird,
Betsy Davis, Lorraine Disston, Mar
garetta Sharpless, Elizabeth Boyd.
Elizabeth. Taylor, Mabel Reid. Cclestinc
Warder. Margaret Earle, Gladys Muller
and whole lot of others.
Receiving with Susan Norris and
Ruth Hobart will be Antoinette Geye-
lin, Susan Groome, Peggy Rosengarten,
Rhoda Brooke.
T AM looking forward to the ball on
L Thursday night, aren't you? The
Orchestra fund ball, you know. It's
going to be quite an affair, and really
The first big ball of the season. There
has not been an affair of the kind since
the Victory ball last year at the Acad-
envy of Music and, though this season
will be jammed with one dance after
another as the months advance, this
will be the first and the smart people
are interested in it. It's to be at the
Ritz.
TT WAS exciting yesterday seeing thr

wonderful looking man. SO tall and

time l see the First City Troop, and
didn't they turn out wonderfully? 1t
was great as they went down Chestnut
street, and afterward at the Belgian
Relief The reception there was splen
though very hurried. The Police Band
walked. yeu know. and that held the
procession up a bit but, then, it was sc
fine to have music and to have them &C
slow enough to be seen.
The queen had a wrap of the most
wonderful shade of blue. She has a
very pleasing manner and delightful
smile. 1t seems toe bad that they did
not stay longer with us, and that bal
or some such affair could not have
been given for them. 1t seems as il
there should have been bit of socia
entertainment. They have had so much
sorrow OF late years, and the kins
