THE prom" up at Princeton last night
enticed many of the members of the
older school set to that beautiful little spot,
for Princeton is a beautiful place and the
prom is always great fun. Several par
ties were arranged to go up together and
the girls must have had wonderful time.
Mrs. William Carmalt Scul took quite
lsYge party under ler wing. among them
Edith Hutchinson. Mary Scull and Mary
Norris. Mrs Charlton Yarnall chaperoned
her pretty daughter. Sophie, and Ellen
Glendinning.
r WAS looking at picture of Ellen Glen
L dining in the lovely old-fashioned frock
she wore at the Victory Ball on the night
of February 13 at the old Academy OF
Music, and l think she has one of the
sweetest faces I have ever seen. Her SIS
ter Mary, who would have come out this
season but that the war was still ION the

made. is engaged to young Morris Free

out OF the service soon. Perhaps the we'd
ding will soon take place. though imagine

two weeks ago. It does seem too wonder

ITO RETURN to the Prom" The other
L girls who were there were Margaretta.
Harrison, daughter of the Joe Harrisons
Mrs Harrison having been Margaretta
A Large, one of the three beautiful c.sters Of
that name; Pauline Bell. daughter Of the
Sam Bells; 'Rebecca Thomson. EleanPr
Robb, Peggy Thayer and Mary Law
TT MUST be wonderful down at White
l. Sulphur these days Margaretta Jeanes
is there, you know, with her mother, Mrs
Henry S. Jeanes. and is having a most
wonderful ort-ofdoors time and rest. Mar
garetta has been a real example of
worker through the war. it seems to me.
She was always at her post when she said
she would be, and no matter what attrac-
ton in the way of theatre or opera or
party land the parties were few during
wartimes) came up to tempt her on the day
she was scheduled for service that party
or theatre or opera had to go. ShN was
Motor Messenger and certainly did splendid
work. Mrs Jeanes, too, was very active in
war work. Gainor Baird, who is cousin
OF Margarettas. has gone down to join the
Jeaneses for a week or so. Gainor has
been prominent in the National League for
Womens Service. The Jeaneses are enthu-
sastic about riding, and both Mrs. Jeanes
and Margaretta are in the saddle nearly
every day.
MFRS. GEORGE DRENEI. is still down at
VVl White Sulphur. She has not been
very we'll this winter and has Grieved very
much over her mothers death, which oc
CURED some time last summer Mrs.
Drexel has been so wonderful in the can
teen work here. She organized it, you
know. and gave her house at Eighteenth
and Locust streets as a headquarters for
the workers. All you have to do is go to
North Philadelphia, Wayne Junction or
the Baltimore and Ohio almost any time
OF day or night and you'll see the result OF
Mrs. Drexel's having started this work in
this city. When she is able she still takes
an active part in the work herself.
T HEAR the Charity Ball is going back to
l. old ways next season and will have its
dance on December II. Since our country
went into the war and the Charity Ball
was virtually the only big social affair
of the year the management placed the
date more in the middle of the season.; but
next year. you see, if all goes we'll and
peace is signed, We'll go back to some of
the old ways anyway, won't we? And so
the Charity Ball managers have wisely de-
cided on December II for the annual ball.
OF COURSE the boys are coming every
" day now, and some of us do certainly
get excited when we, receive letters from
them Peggy had a letter yesterday writ
ten by John on board one Of the ships. 1t
came with the New York postmark on the
envelope and it said that he was on the
ship and expected to land soon. Well. she
was much excited and at luncheon time
stopped small boy and bought paper
before going into the - Club. AS soon
as she and Mary had ordered she flushed
prettily and said: Would you mind il l
looked in the paper a minute? ! want to
see if the = is in yet. You know 1 got.
a letter from Jack this morning and he
said he was coming on it," And she opened
the paper while, Mary rocked to and fro
with mirth, and finally in answer to
Peggy's surprised and panied look she CUR
gled "Of course it's in; how on earth could
you have got the letter from New York
if it wasn't imp And if you could have
.aap peegy,s face' NANCY WINNIE
