IN today at tea which her mother,
Mrs. Richard c. Dale. will give at
Okeden. in Chestnut Hill. The Dales
have recently moved back to their
Chestnut Hill home, as during tho war
they lived with Mazda, Mrs. Dale's
elder daughter. who married Dave
Williams and lives in Cynwyd. Marian
Dale. the second daughter. was in
France during the war.
Mamie Is awftflly sweet un al
though | have not met her yet, ] GER
tainly expect to this afternoon for
have heard such charming things said
about her. Mrs. Dale will give a theatre
party and supper at the Ritz Carlton
for the receiving party and additional
men guests after the tea.
HNI1ERE will be two other debutantc
Il parties in the evening. Elizabeth
Field, daughter of Commander and Mrs.
Field will be given a dinner dance at
the Ritz, and Miss Christine Biddlc will
receive the guests with Mrs. Field And
out at Spring House Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles p. Fox will give Il delightful
party for their niece, Sarah Meade
Harrison. who is a debutante also, you
know.
TNHOSE parties ought to be fine, too,
Il because the mon will go to Saturday
affairs. They can sleep after being up
all night, so to speak. when they do
not have to go downtown to business.
Otherwise it's quite awful at some of
the dances in the early part of the
week. the wee bird told me, because
you see the older men will not go They
just say they cant stand it and work
for living.
rnoI1 Jnns cnpr,, tnp Ind that 90
many are coming out this season, there
Just aren't enough men to go round.
Just think what il must be in France
and England these days. however Not
many narties there. methinks. ] guess
there is not much heart in the women
for gayety though they do say that Paris
is as gay as ever.
But ! believe that the girls of fifteen
and sixteen will have more fun at thci,
parties even than the dobs this year
because there arc boys of TINT age il
existence and the parties are not ST
late that they cannot attend them ant
they have no business the next day
and what's more their mothers make
them go. Et VOLTA
d DEALLY the Orchestra ball at tht
IN Ritz was quite wonderful ON Thurs
day night. Have you seen that LITTLE
Mildred Stern dance? Why. she's alb
soutely remarkable. She's only abou
ten years old and just as light as {
fairy. They threw the most wonderful
lights on her as she fitted about The
ballroom till you felt quite as if yot
were watching a real honest to good
ness fay.
AS for the people there, the room
were simply jammed it was hardl.
g.. htt
loved it immensely, and I'll say it wa
d real success from start to finish.
OF course. the Van Rensseacrs wpr
there. Mrs. Alexander Williams hid
: die. too. and Mr., and Mrs. Chatll
Wright. DR.. Charles Hart, Mr.. Lyman
Biddle. Alva Sergeant Agnes and Jac
Mason. Elizabeth Brockie, Sarah an
Sydney Franklin, Rebecca Thomson an
many others.
oh. GIRLS and boys, there's goin
" to he another rummage sale! An
| bought hat at one for So the oth'
day. and it's the best looking one / eve
had. And you see, it had belonged
one who was not tail and didn't loo
right on her. so others said. and so
was sacrificed TO the cause. in wa!
as it were. And being right there whc
il came in and seeing that its contol
would perhaps not detract from, Il
otherwise intelligent expression OF II
countenancc, bought it on the spot
TO be sure, there may he some WI
think it accentuatcs certain accentui
tions. hut [ leave them on the outsit
of this cold, cold world and wear Il
hat complacently. hoping sincerely tn
its original owner will not regret !
absence.
Would il not be awful should 81
suddenly snatch it from me as | walk
the cheerful streets!
I have a sort of guilty feeling that
mt one over on her as it were. by &c
ting something muchy appreciated
my family, whereas II understand !,
ease correctly, her family appreciated
not at all.
So think III hic to this other sale

sable coat for five dollars. You neV
