TTAvE you heard about the affair to

Co,f Club next Friday evening? The

The benefit of Webster Street House.

most wonderful im~personator and whose
entertainments are always benefits, Is
10 give representations Of Peggy"
and Henry" In the latter she i'm.
personates a small boy Of about twelve
years. I understand this performance
will be the fftieth production Of
"Henry." After the approximations
there will be general dancing. Mrs.
McCabe gave entertainments at 100
camps during the late war, sometimes
having appeared before audiences Of
5000 persons.
To return to the women Of Merton.
They, as M%erionites. have adopted a lit
tic piece Of. the city, known as the
Devils Pocket. They have started a
little settlement at $500 Webster street
and they call II Webster Street House.
They hold free baby clinics, sewing and
cooking classes. and kindergarten and
everything else including ''the kitchen
stove"
The Merton women have made them
selves responsible for the expenses Of
this settlement and that is why they are
giving this entertainment. Mrs. Ernest
Soaring Is president OF the committee Ia
charge Of the settlement and the women
on the board include Mrs. 7. Woou An

MARIANNE HARRIS wore the
lHl d~arlingest frock ut her tea on
Friday. It was so simple I could not
but remark It. just soft white chiffon
over n foundation of white. It was ex-
trcncly girlish. making one think Of the
days n number Of years back when a
simple frock marked a Iebutante and
when satins and brocades and velvets
were kept for the year after debut or
only worn at the large balls like the
Assemblies. Marianne was holding a
bouquet of French rosebuds and she
looked so sweet I was perfectly
'i,tmed with her.
