MIEbL IL was good TO go TO the supper
w Club OH Saturday night. wasn't it?
felt almost as If we were all there
after a month or so, instead of the two
years which have intervened in the
meetings, lowing to the late un-
pleasantness across the water"
1t was good idea to start with the
dinner at o'clock, though not so many
went for dinner, but with the laws
which make party finish at II on
Saturday nisht some do not get quite
enough dancing from ii on, SO It's bet
ter to go to dinner or for an early
supper. say. at half after .. And, Oh
boy, that ballroom floor and that or
chestra 1t was great! jazz nbso-
lively and posilutely up to date. Spe-
cially imported from New York, you
know.
TT WAS so nice to see Mrs. Scott here
Il again. She has been and. in fact. is
now living in New York, but she comes
on for the Supper Club meetings. Betty
|, clark and her husband were there and
had quite large party of guests. in e
Guiding pretty little Mary Norris. who.
to my mind. is one of the cutest of the
debutantes. She wore the dearest little
frock Of orchid pink chiffon, very. very
short, and Mary can wear short frocks
because she is little and dainty, and the
skirt had sort of pannicr drapery over
the hips of grosgrain ribbon, about five
or six rounded loops and the ribbon
came ~ on the little bodice and formed
the straps. over the shoulders. 1t was
sweet. Gertrude Pancoast was with
this party, too, looking very handsome
in her soft gray georgette frock, made
high in the back and with elbow sleeves
and held in about the waist with silver
girdle. Edith Carpenter wore blue
and silver frock which was vastly be-
coming l thought.
A MOTHER debutante who was there
Al was Sarah Dolan. She has a very
good figure aud wears dark blue good
deal. Her frock was of blue georgette
over a white foundation, and the skirt
was trimmed with large satin ribbon
rosettes. She had lovely Jeweiec
comb in her hair. Sarah wears her hair
Z high, you know, in French twist, ana
the comb was most effective in it.
Uytendale Baird Gamer was there IN
a red velvet gown which was gathered
and draped in all sorts OF intricate
ways, which were extremely pretty. II
was held at the side below the waist
line with an ostrich feather spray.
Hansell Earle Patterson was in black
georgctte and tulle and looked. very
sweet. .Edwina and Heck Wetherill had
quite large number of guests. Edwlna
looked very well in n green ana gold
brocaded frock. which was rather tightly
draped about the skirt and had short
square train. Katherine and Jack Con-
ger came in after the theatre, Katherine
looking very smart in a gold cloth and
tulle frock. My but those two do dance
we'll together l love to watch them.
They are so graceful. No silly quirks
and ultra fancy steps-just grace.
Sarah Franklin looked demure III q
semi low -necked frock of black velvet.
She wore little jet ball earrings and ler
hair was very smooth and rather tlght.
Velvet gowns are certainly to the lore
this year.
Altogether l am glad to say the Sup
per Club was great, and l am looking
forward to the next meeting.
TT,HAT Mother Goose carnival wn'
i some carnival up in the Rose Gardei
on Saturday evening", should say
Judging from the costumes of some OF
the performers / saw downstairs IN
Peacock alley as was going home from
the Supper Club. There was vision IN
yellow silk and narrow black velvet SIT
ting there chatting with manly per
son, and another fair haired damse
had a hat on the side of her head .
little larger than n fifty cent piece, A
fairy holding small silver Christmas
tree escaped through the door ahead OF
me. She was beauteous to behold.
should say that Mother Goose carnival
had been n success!
JTTELL, although | do not know tn
w lucky mamie is not a Philadel-
phian YOU know would certainly like
to shake his hand and congratulate him
ON having won katherine Seeler, for to
my mind there are few girls as sweet
as she in this city of brotherly and
sisterly love. She has the prettiest
manners and is thoroughly charming.
3 And clever. j should say so. Have
YOU ever seen her act with the Plays
and Players? She has decided talent
and is SO pretty and vivacious l always
want to see the plays she takes part in.
Katherine is the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Harrison Seeler. She came out
about five years ago and has been very,
very popular. Her engagement to
George Franklin Gentes, of New York,
was announced Saturday. understand
that no date has been set for the we'd
ding as yet, but 1t will take place be-
fore the spring
nID I tell you the story heard th'
~ other day about one of the debu
tantes who is an only daughter? Not
only that, but her parents just dote or
her and everything she wants she
pretty much has, though she really is
not spoiled. She's a dear. The other
day she went into very exclusive shoI
here in town and bought quite a lot OF
lovely things in the way of lacy waists
and negligees. The saleswoman who
waited on her smilingly began to take
interest when it came to three negligeet
( and said,. "a trousseau, I suppose?
"Oh no." responded the deb wearily
''just mothers only daughter"
