l. tonight is the Saturday Evening
Dancing Glass party. which will be held
in the Bellevue Stratford. lt is the
Committee Class, you know, and is for
the subdcbs. The meeting. which was
to have been held on December IL, was
called off because Of the death of Mrs.
Charles Da Costa, who was on the com
mittCe.
There will be number Of dinners
before the meeting tonight, among them
a large affair at the Bellevue Stratford
for Virginia Carter. which will be given
by her mother. Mrs George Calvert
Garter, and another large dinner given
BY Mr.. aud Mrs. w. W. Hepburn for
Jane. The Daniel l.. Hebards. of
Chestnut Hill, will give II dinner for
Is home from boarding school for the
holidays. will be guest of honor at a
Inner given by her parents, the George
g. llu. 'ises, Of Ivy Cottage, German
town. Still another dinner will be the
one given for Peggy Ferguson by her
parents, the Lincoln Fergusons.
1t sounds to me as if it would be a
very good party, what think YOU?
TNHERE will be one or two other
J. affairs this evening for the younger
get. The j. Heron Crosmans, of Ard
more, are giving dance for their chill
dren, and the Charles Custis Harri-
sons, Jr.. will give theatre party and
supper for Ellen, their second daughter.
Augusta, the elder one, will go to the
Hepburn dinner and TO the Dancing
Glass. She will be debutante next
year, you know.
nON'T you like the wide scarfs some
~ of the women are wearing this year? !?
! saw Mrs. Charlie Fox walking up
Chestnut street day or SO before
Christmas, and she certainly did look
well. She was wearing purple sports
suit, and a long woOlen scarf OF tan
was wound about her neck. A hat of u
lighter shade Of tan cloth adorned with
small French flowers about the crown
finished the smart costume. She is so
pretty think. She is sister OF Mrs.
Joe Harrison and Mrs. Stevenson
Easily. You remember, she was Miss
Mary Large.
And speaking Of her makes me re
member that about two blocks farther
down the street that day met her sis
ter in law. Mrs. John Large, who was
Clifford Newbold. She was with her
aunt, Miss Mary Ncwbold. Mrs. Large
was wearing very good looking Scotch
plaid skirt and a brown bear fur coat.
Her small rather narrow brimmed hat
was of dark blue silk trimmed with stiff
fiat aigrettes. She, too, looked very
well.
T HOPE the Holiday Night which
Il Mrs. Robert Lesley is getting up for
the benefit of st. Vincent's Home will
prove success. 1t ought to be, that's
sure, for Charley Morgan is teaching
the boys and girls TO dance. and there
are to be all kinds of good vaudeville
stunts. The particular object of the
entertainment is to raise sufficient
means to install an elevator in the
home. =,
You know there are hundreds of small
tots, some Of them not three years old,
who must be taken out in the air every
day. Sometimes one sister will have
charge of as many as seventy wee
people, and it's an impossible task to
carry said seventy babies of three and
four years up and down stairs. So the
board of managers is certainly no'
starting too soon to put said elevator
in, is it?
Some of those associated with Mrs
Leslie in the work are Mrs. John y
Newbold, Mrs. Fielding Otis Lewis
Mrs. Ashton Devereux, Mrs. james
Mundy. Mrs. Otis Skinner, Mrs. Archi
bald Bark'je, Mrs. Robert Bicknell
Mrs. Arthur Primrose Baugh, Miss
Edith Rivinus, Mrs. Samuel Castnel
and a number of others.
T.HEAR that the Club Night next weel
J. by the Plays and Players will bt
extremely interesting. / should say i
will if, as the program reads, Mrs
Harrison X. Gamer, Jr., and Eleanor
Beetem are to be transferred from girl'
into seals, and back into human form
again. That will be some play, l should
say!
The first of the three one act play
will be 1.-The Constant Lover in which
Helen shelton, debutante OF thi
year, will be the star, and Mr.. Dayit
Sellers Vogels will be the second con
stellation. ,
The second play is to be the "Soni
of the Seal" 1t is Hebridean legent
and sounds, as said, remarkable. Th'
actors in this will be Mr.. Joe Fox. 10!
Smith, Mrs. Gamer and Eleanor Beetem
Then comes the third play, Dust o
the Road" and the players Will b'
Carl Altmaier, Raymond Robinson, DIR
Earl Rice and Mrs. Charles Dickinson
They all sound good to me, SO III b.
there for sure. The club nights Will b.
