Nancy lynne Tells OF Entertainments for Lady Dauis of Mon
teal-Junor Ball at Weightn,an Hall.

- the Stotesburys, Is being muchly enter
tained. She is the wife Of Sir Mortimer
Davis OF Montreal, you know, and has
any number Of friends in this city.
The John Kearsley Mitchells gave a
dinner followed by auction bridge last night
in her honor, and Mr.. and Mrs. Sydney
Emlen Hutchinson entertained the Mitch
ellis dinner guests together with additional
guests Of their own, at supper at the Ritz
Carlton in the evening in Lady Davis's'
honor. Mr.. John c. Bell will give lunch
con today for her at his home at Twenty
second and Locust streets, and Mr. Clement
B. Newbold will have a luncheon in her
honor at the Philadelphia Country Club on
Sunday. Besides these affairs, the Stotes-
burys will give two dinners, one tonight
and one tomorrow night, for their guest.
THE Historical Society is going to have
it's regular reception for enlisted men
again tonight. And the war service COM
mitee insinuates gently In its announce
ment Of the fact that some Of the wounded
men at the new base hospital at Thirty
fourth and Pine would be glad to come to
the party if they could have comfortable
conveyances." They also remark that IL
this appeals to any owners Of automobiles,
they will be glad to discuss the matter be-
fore 10 o'clock on Saturday morning. Far
be it from the committee to do anything
but hint, however.
1 saw some Of the wounded men who
were entertaineG at the Independence
Square Red Cross Auxiliary on Thursday
sitting back comfortably in large cars as
they came back from their ride to supper
at the headquarters. They looked as il
they were having such a good time, and
they smiled so cheerily at Mrs. English as
they limped across the pavement to where
she was standing at the door. And l know
they had delicious "eats" when they got
inside, too. -
LAVE you heard that the Louie Bories
- have little daughter? She was born
on March 81 and is named for her grand
mother, Helen. Mrs. Charlie Borie was
Miss Helen Sewell, you remember, and it
does seem too funny to think that she Is
a grandmother, for she always seems so
young. Indeed, she Is a grandmother twice
over, for this is the second baby born to
the younger Bories. Since being mustered
out of the army Louie and his wife, who
was Mary Alice Clay. have been staying
with Mrs. Borie's parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Alfred G. Clay, at 1929 Spruce street
noN'T forget there's the Junior Ball to-
- night at Weightman Hall. l under
stand it's going to be wonderful as to floor,
for they have sold only limited amount
of tickets, as hitherto the dancing has
been so crowded that it has really spoiled
the enjoyment Of the subscribers. So the
Juniors decided they did not care how
much they made just so every one had
good time, and from all I hear it will be
good tonight-oh, very good!
hid 1 tell you that the Women Writer'S
~ Club is going to have talk tomorrow
night by Miss Marjorie McClintock. of the
Flo Flo" company, now playing here?
Miss McClintock, by the way, is the
daughter of Major McClintock, and she
comes of an old Colonial family Of Massa-
chusetts. The Women Writers are going
to have their monthly meeting the fol-
lowing night, and judging from what I
have heard of the revels planned in the
way of spontaneous" acting and speech
making it will be some meeting.
They do say that last year at one OF
their dinners certain magazine editor
danted garbed in the garments of the OPP
posite sex Later, however, she donned
lovely frock of sapphire blue velvet Some
of the entertaining was still going on when
reporter came from one Of the papers
and asked TO see some one.
No reporters were allowed you see, so
our heroine in the velvet party frock went
forward and talked to him and told him
all about it and dismissed him graciously.
and then returned to the room where the
others were, to be greeted by howls OF
laughter, for on top of her dainty golden
hair reposed a short black wig. Shed for
gotten to change her hair as well as her
costume.
The Women Writers have their rooms
in the Art Alliance Building, you know, and
they manage to have pretty good times at
their meetings, though they are all very
busy women, the membership being made
up principally of the women who write on
the newspapers, magazines and periodicals
of this and other cities. Miss Julia Blank
enburg is president this year. Mrs. Cor
nelius Stevenson and Mrs. Edward Box are
honorary members Of the club.
