those lovely foppy hats that most Of
the aides wore were so becoming and so

man Of the whole affair, and Mrs. An
drew Wright Crawford, Mrs. Howard
Pancoast and Mrs. Tom Elwyn were
here, there and everywhere, being con-
suited by every one and helping every
body.
There were any number Of the debu-
tantes of the past season and Of the
season to come among the aides I
noticed the Glendinning girls, who, as
usual. were dressed alike and looked
perfectly sweet. Virginia Roberts, who
is to marry their cousin Percy. was
with them part of the time. BY the
way, Mr.. and Mrs. Glendinning will
give a large theatre party, including
several boxes, on Saturday night for

supper and dancing afterward at the
Ritz Carlton.

ONE hears all kinds Of bits Of gossip
" around these days and ! did hear a
bit Yesterday at the market. Who do
you think is engaged, and not only
engaged but going to be married soon?
She won't acknowledge 1t yet, only a
very few of her friends know 1t, but
It's true and 1t will be told very soon.
The wedding is even going to be next
month. and the girl, who Is very popu-
lar and has been a bridesmaid several
times of late, lives on the Main Line
and has fair hair, and is a peach gen.
orally.
And the man is not Philadelphian.
Now that is positively all I will tell
you, but you will be interested when 1t
all comes out, as it will in very short
time. For the wedding, IL the wee bird
tells me the truth, and I have no reason
to doubt said bird, it's usually right,
will be within a months time from
now.

the statuary which is in the square for
this month in connection with the Art
Alliance exhibit added not little to
the general artistic effect. Some of those
things are truly beautiful, while others
are not quite so.
IJAVE you heard about the affair to
IL be given at Witherspoon Hall next
Tuesday evening for the benefit of the
Charlotte Cushman Club? Mrs. William
II. Greene has gotten up a musicale in
costume for the clubs benefit and it
sounds decidedly unique to my way Of
thinking.
A double quartette of members of
the Orphcus Club will sing Fay Fosters
''Song of the Flag" and there will be
the Nonsense Rhymes of Margaret Lang
sung by Mrs. James Anders, Mrs.
Greene. Mrs. Fl. A. Sutton and Mrs.
Sam Woodward wearing costumes OF
the time Of Richard the Third.
Mrs. Greene will sing the aria "Vous
dansez, Marauise," and there will be
several other very interesting numbers.

Charlotte Cushman Club and the vice

Mrs. Mortimer Bro;Sn and Mrs. Otis
Skinner, while Mrs. Walter Waring
Hopkinson is treasurer and Mrs. Ed
ward Beecher Finck is secretary. The

as it were, for you know the Cushman
Club is n club for actresses, did you
know that the late Richard Harding |
Davis's small daughter, Hope, has been
staying here with her mother, Bessie |

to leave yesterday for Atlantic City |
where she joined little Hope who had |
gone there ahead with her nurse. Mrs. |
Davis whose dancing always attracts
