0NHEY are going to have big time out
L at the wee Tea Box at the Crossways
and Montgomery avenue in Merton? Well,
some say it's Merton and some say It's
Bala and some even say it's Cynwyd. so
that gives you an idea of where it may be.

Montgomery avenue And the big time is
to be had this afternoon, when Constance
Binney and Vivien segal and Helen Bolton
and Therese Cane, of the "Oh! Lady
I,ady," company will be there and will re-
ceive the guests, and Mrs. Horace Bremen
who is chairman of the Tea Box, will pre-
side. You know the Tea Box proceeds are
given over to a fund for the comfort or

y think she is a dear. You know she is the
niece of Mrs, George Dunning and her
mother was Miss Miles, Of this city. and
. her father is Horace Binney. Mrs. Dun

Constance first came to my notice about
four years ago, when she was on here stay
ing with her aunt. She had taken up fancy
dancing, and was 50 cunning and success
full that several persons asked her to dance
at their homes to entertain their guests
Her talent was so great that she was
asked to join the "Oh! Lady Lady, com
pany, and join she did.
She is the daintiest, prettest thing; just
like a little ball Of fluff dancing about the
stage She and her cousin. Mrs. Billie
Drayton, certainly have the looks of the
family, though C6nstance's sister. Fayre
Binney, who is also on the stage, by the
way, and is acting with Jack Barrymore
is also extremely pretty. Fayre is only
seventeen years old. Isn't it wonderful
how talents run in some families?
