"A Nd now you know whose engage
Ament was limiting about during the
week. Connie vauclain to a New York
man, William Hamilton. And l heard
the wedding was really going to be very
soon. but the date has not been stated
AS vet. You know the gossip about
engagements around the Square on
Wednesday was scream.
There was another. too, but that is
not TO be announced for some time to
come. Constance Eauclain, as you
know. is the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Samuel Vauclain, of Rosemont. Her
father Just returned from Europe last
week. Constance Vauclain has been an
exhibitor at the Horse Shows since she
was tiny girl and her famous horse,
the Whip. in one year won more than
twenty championships and 135 blue
ribbons, which is going some. As soon
as hear the wedding date III let you
know.
T DO think the summer dresses are
1 getting prettier and prettier. don't
you? For while the very narrow.
very short skirts were so ugly, but now
that they are getting fuller, and narrow
lace is being used with the organdies
again, they are certainly lovely. l no
ticed n great many pretty frOcks Mt
the flower market and was struck
with the fact that they are so becoming.
Mary Elizabeth Altemus has suit,
made just like the cream and pin
striped one | told you of last week,
only this is in the most wonderful shade
Of rose pink. My, but that child Is
pretty. She has such wonderful color
Ing, and that shade of rose with the
little cape and the sports hat of the
same material, rose with a pin stripe
black plaid, is perfectly lovely.
OF course every one was interested in
seeing Fiti Leidy, because she and Car
ter came back from their wedding trip
South just few weess ago, and this
was the first time they had gone to
public affair. Fiji was wearing ging
ham frock of white with narrow plaid
Of red. and her hat was made of the
same material as the dress. She looked
very smart. She has her hair bobbcd,
you know. and looks so very young it
does not seem possible that she Is q
madame, and she is only seventeen, of
course She has very pretty blue eyes
and dark hair and a particularly we'll
. shaped brow.
Mildred Longstrcth looked very
smart the other day. She wore a white
skirt and waist and broad orange
girdle which matched her hat. the hat
being the one she had worn as Maisie
Rush Bartol's bridesmaid. Eleanor
Wurts was wearing her bridesmaid hat,
too. They are quite an unusual shade
OF orange and awfully becoming.
TliE concert and dance at the Musi-
1 cal Arts Club given last night by
the Women Writer'S Club was de-
cidedly successful affair. A great many
were there and the music was very
good, Daniel Donovan helped greatly in
the. getting up of the program and he
and Arthur Jackson both sang. Eliza
beth Latta and Mrs. George Brinton
also sang and Robert Armbruster
played.
After the concert the chairs We're
cleared away and the rest of the eve
ming was devoted to dancing. The
Women Writer'S Club has rooms in
the Art Alliance Building at 1929 Wal
nut street, but they were not large
enough for last nights entertainment,
30 the big assembly room of the Musi-
cal Arts was used for the affair. Miss
Agnes Repplier, I'd, and committee
received the guests.
TNfiE Spring Ball of the Fellowship Of
- the Academy of the Fine Arts is
dubbed "Will o. the WiSp" this year.
and it is to be held on Wednesday
evening of next week at the Academy
at p o'clock.
The students have been asked to
wear and request their guests to wear
costumes appropriate TO the character
nt tn" dance. and can't you think how
lsht and airy they will be. see all
sorts and kinds of spritcs skipping out
N my minds eye and imagine it will
Dc wonderful sight. Think of the
rhahce for gorgeous coloring in the
