Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1919-11-07

4 second of the two debutantes of this
week, the first having been Eleanor
Jones whose aunt Mrs. Frank Granger
Kennedy gave her a tea on Monday,
will be Nancy Dunning.
Nancy is the daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. George A. Dunning and a sister
Of Eleanor, Norman and leighton Dun
ming. Mrs. Billie Drayton jr., is an
cider sister. Nancy is rather small
with brown hair and eyes and is q gen
orally dainty person. She is very sweet
and has charming manners.
Nancy's mother was Miss Martha
Binney, sister of Mr.. Harold Binney
Of New York, whose daughter Con-
stance has made quite success on the
stage. She appeared here last year in
"Oh Boy" where she was the premiere
danseuse and this year has been playing
in 80 East" having gotten out of
musical comedy into the straight act
ing parts.
butante this year receiving. with her,
judging from those / have heard say
they were going The tea will be given
in the Acorn Club, which is splendid
mace for accommodating crowd OF
guests, don't you thinkP
The large ball room with its old rose
hangings and walls makes a most
charming background for an affair OF
the kind. Then the back rooms are SO
admirably suited for the serving oi
"eats."
It's my idea Of giving tea, no fuss
or bother at home, all you have TO do
Is go to the club and dress there, be-
cause of course there are always flowers
to arrange.
1t really is marvellous the flowers
that are sent to the debutantes on their
coming out day. 1t usually stops
there however and is not, as in the days
of oar mothers, when girls went TO
every dance laden with bouquets sen'
by the men who asked for the cotilloh'
and for supper and for this dance OF
that. And when said girl OF long age
danced she had to deposit all OF said
hououets upon the lap of her chaperone
As at times one older woman might
be- chaperoning three or four girls, PIC,
ture where was chaperone when saio
girls were dancing?
