On the hottest night that we had
last week-Tuesdsy. we think it was
we were invited to dinner over At the
Pre-Catelan. We went reluctantly, be-
cause from the outside the Pre- Catelan
looks like very warm place. but we
were happily surprised Jack Cohan
found table for US between two fans
and where we could see the show while
we ate our jellied consommk and our
cold lobster. The orchestra is one Of
the best we have listened to. and they
have a way of playing jazz that is
different from anything we ever
heard; and we didn't think it could
have any more variations! There are
prima donna named Winnie Wall.
who is both beautiful and talented. and
pair Of Homer sisters, May and Maud,
who produce wonderful effects with a
minimum amount Of effort, and Billy
Newkirk. a juvenile, but We must sd-
NIT that the thing which particularly
interested Us was the fact that the
man who sat at the table next to ours
was wearing the Congressional medal,
the Croix de Guerre and lot of other
decorations which we did not recog-
nlze. We asked about him and Mr..
Cohan told US that he was Mike Dono-
van, who tried to throw his life away
al! the time he was over there, and
who brought sixteen men out of No
Mans Land unassisted. And yet he
seemed to enjoy dancing more than
any one else in the room.
The Ritz-Carlton is going to keep its
japanese Garden open for dinner this
season, which is good news. They had
an annoying way of closing it up in
the afternoon, and if you couldn't find
table on the roof you had to 70 some.
whrre else for dinner.
The roof opened Monday night, and
Tuesday night Sydney Chaplin invited
US there for dinner. While we were
waiting in the little anteroom where
they keep all the tempting hors
d'euvres displayed on ice, Theodor,
the Car of the Ritz" rushed up and
hurled him self at our vis-a-vis. Mr..
Chaplin he walled in his beautiful
broken English, you have order your
cocktail Then back it goes, so you
can taste a Charlie Chaplin. 1t is my
very own concoction, and l name it for
your brother when he live here You
must have one. 1t is so popular now
, And so delicious!" SO we did, and it
was. And then Theodor insisted on or.
dering the dinner. Never again, we are
sure, shall we taste such 8 dinner.
The dessert was ice cream, with all
sorts Of fruit and little chocolate
squares over that, and whipped cream
over that.
And between dinner and supper we
went over to the. Biltmore, for the Cas-.
cades opened Tuesday night. Maurice
and Florence Walton are back agair
and it doesn't seem month since
Maurice came and sat down at oul
table and said Yes, I've got to go tt
war! can't keep away any longer
and the following week Florence
came and showed Us q platinum brace
let with her husbands picture in uni
form set in diamonds. I'm so proud
OF him. she said, and we notice that
she still is wearing the bracelet. Every
one was there, including two real
lords; they were Moleyneaux of Mont
real and Linlithgow of London We
also saw c. X. G. Billings, Eddie Koch,
Mrs. Potter Palmer and Mrs George
BickneN.

closing. This is an innovation at
