1 hEADbl seems dS II we were Ill
L the way of real season now, instead
of waiting until next year. Why, there's
jus one party after another, and IL it
isn't for the debutantc set it's the school
set and on and on.
Then, too, the people are beginning
TO 60 North. Did you know that the
George Dallas Dixons have taken a
house in Newport, on Catherine street,
I'm told, and very pretty? Mrs. Dixon
is always a favorite here and in New
York, and there is little doubt that she
viii be much liked in the Newport set.
OF course, she knows pretty nearly
every one there, anyhow, and will be a
most welcome addition to the colony..1
Mrs. Dal Dixon, Jr., is much better
from the last bulletins received. You
remember she vas so i'll in the hospital.
TORETURN to the parties. On Sat
L urday, you know. there was the tea
for Helen Hope Wilson, the dance for
Sarah Dolan and the dansant for Flea
nor Jones. Mabel Reid and Mary
Fahrestock which Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Granger Kennedy gave at Haverford
Court. Then tonight there will be a
lovely debutante party for Mabel Reid.
which her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Lee Reid. will give at the PHILADELPHIA
Cricket Club. Some of the girls who are
going are not coming out next year and
some are of former seasons, and they
ce-tainly are an attractive lot.
Anne Ashton is among the invited.
but she is not going to be dcbutante
next year. Anne is not yet seventeen
ard she is going to take a special course
at school. having been graduated with
htnors this year So she will probably
make her debut the year following. It's
very hard now to get straight on the
ages and often you think this one or
that is coming out. and you lind that
she's only sixteen or seventeen and OF
course too young to make her debut.
Very few girls come out before
eighteen and some wait until they are
nineteen. Cordclia Biddle Duke is about
the only one who came out at seven =
teen in Philadelphia for many year.
Elaine Sullivan, great many
thought. had an "out' dance last
Thursday, but Elaine is just around
seventeen and will not come out for Il
YEAR or two. And her party was for the
sthool set. She certainly is pretty.
stw her one day recently wearing dark
hue batiste frock, which had little tg

when the time comes for her to make hcl
low to the social world.

MD YOU see Tony Biddle'G marines /
y their bayonet drills last week! l
vas very thrilling, wasn't 1t! An
Gdn't YOU love Major Biddle's littl
9planatory address before the me
sarted their stunts? I don't kno'
,bether he did it always or not. bu
ne night I was there he told how tn
sarines would fight and how dangerou
i was, and then he said, 80 you SCI
sisters-oh. I was starting to say sis
ters and brothers'-so you see. ladie
and gentlemen and everybody WI
knew how often he uses that expression
SISTERS and brothers," just natural
had to laugh.
It was so funny, and it reminded n
that the last time I saw the major {
| Keith's he was conducting mass
meeting of his various Bible classes.
You know he is going to have tho'
marines down at the navy yard on Sat
urday, to be one of the attractions I
Navy Relief Day. l don't know jul
where they are going to do their stunt
but they will do the same bayonet al
knife drills that they did last week.
