49, party this afternoon and evening. Tne
little girls will play cards most Of the after
noon and then a supper will be served.
Evelyn is a most attractive little girl
and has hosts of friends. She had rather
long and distressing illness a couple OF
years ago and it is splendid to know how
well she is again. Her mother was Miss
Anna Jones, you remember, the youngest
daughter of the late Mr.. Charles Henry
JONES' of this CITY,
A GREAT many people went over to
"A Moorestown today for the wedding of
Nancy Stokes and DIR. William Hewson.
The wedding took place at noon in Trinity
Church there and was awfully pretty.
Nancy was quite i'll last week with a case
of "f1u" and l was afraid she might have
TO put off her wedding. Somehow, when
you have settled everything about your
wedding, you don't want to have to change
your plans do you? Well, anyway. Nancy
is better, in fact, we'll again Except for the
tired feeling that comes after the "fu'D,
and the wedding, as I said, came off at
noon.
Nancy is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
n. Newln Stokes. Jr., of Moorestown. and
Bill is the son of DR.. and Mrs. Addinell
Hewson, of this city. He is a brother of
DR.. Addinell Stevenson Hewson and, by
the way. is to have him as best man.
Nancy had Frances Stoughton Ballard and
Emile Williams Hopkins as matrons Of
honor, and her bridesmaids were Nancy
Reath Eleanor Deans, Helen Stoughton
and Mary Boyd.
THERE'S no doubt about it, the tableaux
l. were wonderful and pretty nearly had
q fit at Alice and the tea party last night
OF course was all prepared for a Won
derful tableau; but when the curtain parted
and there was the tea table and the Halter
and March Hare and the weeny dormouse
all crowded up together at one end and
no Alice, just wondered if 1t could be
possible that they were going to work it
out.
And then in came Alice and sat herself
down and Immediately the March Hare
said: Have some wine?" Well, my joy
knew no bounds. 81, And at the end when
Alice got up in disgust and the Halter
and the March Hare lifted the dormouse
up and jammed him head first into the tea
pot, just felt as thrilled as l did when
1 read alice" for the first time and that
was some thrill believe me.
Priscilla Bohlen Brooks was Alice and
Morris Tilden was the March Hare, and
oh did you see the wreath of hay around
his right ear? And Mr.. Page was the Hat
ter and small Charlie Harrison was the
dormouse. And he told all about Elsie,
Lacie and Tillie" and the "treacle well' and
the much of a muchness' ana he went
to sleep and squeaked when they pinched
, him till the cup of my content was full.
The living pictures were wonderful. Ellen
Mary Cassatt as the "grl with parrot
was a splendid reproduction and Madame
Recamier who was Mrs. Robert L. Mont
gomery, was a dream of loveliness. Alto.
gether it was a beautiful performance, and
judging from the number of persons who
attended should say brought IN splendid
returns for the tuberculosis soldiers and
children of France. I hope somewhere
and sometime they'll give the Mad Tea
Party again.
OF course, living pictures mean an
awful lot of work for very snort tifne'
but then they are so stunning while they
last always love to see them.
Virtually every one was there. Mrs Cor
nelius Stevenson entertained in one OF the
boxes, as did Mrs. Arthur Lea, Mrs. George
H. Lorimer and Mrs. Stanley G. Flagg, Jr.
And in the audience and boxes were Mr.
and Mrs. John Newbold, Mr.. and Mrs
Charlton Yarnall, Mrs. Robert Emott Hare
Mrs Phelps, who is visiting Mrs. Hare
Miss Mary Norris Cochran, Miss Fannie
Cochran. Miss Emile Rivinus, Miss MAJ
Rivinus. Mrs. Nicholas Biddle. Mr.. and Mrs
Joseph Lippincott, Mrs. Ned Toland' cap
+ain Toe DuBarry and Mrs. DuBarry, Mr.
Robert L. Montgomery and two or tfse
Montgomery children. Mrs. Norman Jack
.on. Mrs. Madison Taylor, and oh! just
everybody.
