- Nursery, of which Mrs. Ben Frazier
Is president, and the San Cristoforo
Day Nursery, Of which Miss Miriam
Roberts is In charge, are to benefit by
the welfare dances at the Ritz next
week. Tho dances have been moved to
the roof, you know, which makes 1t
much nicer on these hot nights. Uyten-
dale Baird Gamer and her brother,
Charles Baird, who made such q hit
with their dance the other night, are
coming to repeat it on Friday night,
and next week there will be competi-
tion dancing. Sounds quite like Cape
May, doesn't it7 II they could just
import some salt air and few breezes
It would be the real thing, wouldn't it :?
r SAW Dorothea Oberteuffer the other
i day in an awfully becoming get up.
1t was blue and white seorgette crepe,
the ground Of soft, dull blue and the
white in diamond shaped blocks of mar
row stripes. That doesn't describe it
very well unless you've seen the dress,
but 1t was lots Of fun to think out. Then
she wore a little hat, close fitting, of
tan straw, with the crown almost en-
tirely covered with forget me -nots. She
has blue eyes, you know, and very hight
hair, and the effect was most attrac-
tive.
THE Rainbow Fete yesterday was
L really wonderful. 1t was held out
at the Huntington Valley Country Club
to help the Arlington Hospital, and it
was a great success, If you ask me.
1t was quite distinctly military, you
know, and all the aides wore the little
blaze Of the Rainbow Division, and
there were huts representing the Sal
vation Army, the Y. M. G. A., the
X. Of G. and the Hostess House Of the
7. w. c. A. There was bugler, who
gave the calls for various activities
attention, assembly at 2 o'clock and call
to the Fashion Show in the tea garden,
and that was some Fashion Show, too.
Perfectly stunning gowns, on such good
looking manneauins, and how the man
neduins kept from behaving like human
beings and speaking to their friends
while posing is more than / Gun tell
+. you!
Mrs. Nicholas Biddle was stunning
model. and so was Mrs. Harry billiard.
But how on earth did they stand those
fur coats and cloaks?
Then there was drill call for the
e. A. As, and, oh, but those
girls did look hot! They did awtully
we'll, though, in spite of the tempera :
ture. Then there was mess call,
which everybody welcomed with great
pleasure. And ut sunset that wonder
full retreat. ! don't think there
anything quite like that, just at the
: end Of the day, when everybody quiets
down so that you can hear the pirds
land they were all round the club yes
terday), and then that strong, compel
ling note of the bugle and the flag nut
tering down and every man in uniform
standins at salute, and then that mo
ment of silence after the bugle--it's
yery quietly but undeniably thrilling
Later the bugler played tattoo ano
finally taps.
A ND speaking of bugle calls, well
n known Philadelphian got very po-
,,tely called down the other day in con >
nection with something of the kind. He
an artist, and he was doing a soidier
picture. He wasn't quite sure about some
detail or other of the blaze that ne was
making, and he went out on still huht
for a man in that division to pose 1or
him, or Mt least to stand still long
enough for him to see what he wanted
So he started up Broad street, incl
dentally at the same time that parade
was doing the same thing, and about the
first thing he saw was a solder wearing
the blaze that he was after.
Up he breezed to him, and as ne
breezed the band started the national
Z anthem. Far be it from him to notice
national anthems when he was gettins
information. So he continued to breeze.
II beg your pardon" he started, .but
I think you can help me- The soiGler
turned around, with his overseas hat IN
his hand, reached up quietly, removed
the artists straw hat from his head,
handed it to him gently and remarked
politely, ''Now, just what was 1t you
wanted?' NANNY WINNIE
