furious next week, but 1t seems to be
getting more and more fashionable not
70 have a tea, but to introduce a girl
in some other way, such as dinner
dance or large theatre party or II
ball. ] suppose the times change, but
somehow or other ] always feel that
Il is nice to have q tea. that the older
friends Of the families who do not go to
balls much and who are not invited to
the deb dinner dances and smaller par
ties may have the opportunity OF meet
ing the girl who is to take her place
IN the world after her round Of gaietS
with the rest of us.
However, in these days there are so
many TO come out and the parties are
so numerous one cannot criticize II the
parents think a charge is a good thing
and eliminate tho tea.
FRANCES HAMMOND looked very
/ sweet yesterday afternoon at her
tea She wore French model frock or
white net over foundation OF hcsh-
co!ored charmeise. The skirt was made
IN points of the net over the satin ana
was edged with narrow silver braid.
The bodice was, cut in ut the neck
and bands of silver were used as trim
minga. The little sleeves were also
finished with silver. There was dainty
airy touch to the skirt. which was very
prctty, the side panels being edged with
flesh -colored ostrich feathers.
She held the dearest old fashioned
bouquet edged with lace when j was
there / suppose she used the same one
all afternoon. though goodness knows
she had enough to choose from, as the
house was just full of flowers. Mrs.
Hammond looked extremely well in a
gown of black charmeuse trimmed with
black and silver sequins and small
beads. 1t was really a lovely tea.
THE plans for the dinner and dance
l. this evening at the Merton, after the
three ring circus, as 1t were, in the
afternoon for the kiddies. are very
elaborate and embracing. There are to
be about twenty diners and dancing
throughout the evening. It's all for
the benefit of the Sunnyside Day
Nursery and, hope it's success be-
cause that really is very good cause.
A ND speaking of a good cause have
n you heard about the card party that

tee Of other women are getting up lor
