~ decided to give a party next year for
both Mary and Ellen? Ellen is the
debutante. but as last year, when Mary
would have come out. had there bcch
debuts, there were no parties Tor her' she
and Ellen will share the honors this year.
And / do think that is so nice for two
sisters to come out together! OF course
Mary is engaged, and that makes 1t n niue
different, but she'll share in all the gooa
times.
Percy is home, you know; he got back
last week. He was one of the Fighting
five" who went over at the very beginning
with the marines sgd Thaycr and Bobblc
Reath were two of them, you remember.
The latter was killed last spring. lie was
a brother of Elsa Reath Appleton. Ihosc
Eve boys made a splendid record lhcy
y were under age for the army, | believe, and
ipso, they would not wait, but went into the
marines and got over before any OF the
others.
Mary and Ellen Glendinning are very
pretty girls, with lovely, delicate features
and soft rather fair hair. Their mother
was Miss Elizabeth Carpenter, sister OF
Mrs. Redwood Wright and daughter of the
late George Carpenter. She is an extremely
attractive woman, and her daughters are
great favoritcs in the younger set Mary
is engaged to young Morris Freeman.

great ability. Mary Carroll Rolin also gave

Polly Thayer played Romance of Anda
lusia," by Sarasate, on the violin. You
know Polly is staying in New York now,
where she is studying with. Leopold ,Aucr,
the maestro who is living temporarily in
him, too, and goes over to New York twice
week from her home in Devon. Both of
these girls have much talent. Polly is a
good sport, all right; she was spending the
week end at Princeton, attending the Sopho
more Prom and other festivities, but came
over to Haverford after lunch to play her
part in the program, leaving for Princeton
again on the o'clock train. That was

Hodge, Helen Allen, Dorothy Hodge. Con-
way Clark, Sarah Barringer and Blanche
Hubbard. George Cresson was the only boy
who took part but, somehow. the boys hate
to come out and practice. George Crcsson

these musicaes get quite thrilled when
think of the talent these boys and girls
possess.

Heckscher danced Spanish dance, accom-
panied by her sister, Virginia Heckscher,
and it was very pretty.
Mrs. Burton Chance and Mrs. Carroll
Hodge are the organizers and managers of
