,~srs wsrs left out of things and many. host
.sseS invited guests whose families they

when the invitations go out next year
they will go out in the good old way
and only those whose families are
known personally or whose famliies
have been always on the visiting list
Of the hostess will be invited. Hard on
some Of the boys and girls, perhaps, but
the right idea, 1t seems to me. dld
not hear that it had been positively de,
cided upon, but something of the kind
Is under way.
THINK that exhibition at the Plastic
l Club tomorrow will be very inter
esting. don't you? I find most of the
Plastic Club affairs interesting usually,
must say. 1t will open in the after
room at o'clock for private view,
when there will be hostesses and artists
an everything there, and tea, too.
The pictures on exhibition are those
of ten members of the Plastic Club,
each artist having her special work
grouped. Among the ten are Florence
Bradway. Fern Coppcdge, Katherine
Farrell, Isabel Hickey, Frances Kratz.
Mary Townsend Mason, Anne Fry
Smith. Ethel Herrick Warwick. Eliza
beth Fisher Washington and Helen
Reed Whitney. Those who will pre-
side nt the tea table are Mrs. hugh
Breckenridge, Mrs. Daniel CARRIER. Mrs.
Wayman Adams and Mrs. Lydia Mount
Others who will receive will be Miss
Harriet Sartain, Miss Annie Perot,
Miss Janet Wheeler, Miss Katharine
Patton. Mrs. Alice Barber Stephens,
Mrs. Lillian Meeser, Mrs. Roy Miller,
Miss Nancy Ferguson, Miss Nina Ward,
Miss Katherine Barker, Miss Alice
Kent Stoddard, Mrs. Ann Heebner Nc
Donald. Mrs. Elsa Koenig Nitsche,
Mrs. Emile Zeckwer Dooner and Mrs.
Georgiana Brown HARRISON.
Every one of those names certainly
stands for something in the artistic
world. There is such good fellow feel
ing in the Plastic Club, every artist
rallies to the cause of every other. And
as for their annual rabbit" we'll, il
you've ever been to one, you know their
genius, NANCY WYNNE.
