AsT year Lisa Norris electrified
Loverv one at the Bryn Mawr show by
.nroorinr in frock made from an
gppl,o ghowl. and this year Gertrude
psnSoost wore one. The ground or

irving % Not many could afford to wear
dress of the kind. because 1t must
necessarily be so plain. II suits Ger
trude all right, and she wore a brown
silk sports hat with 1t.
TOMORROW we have Jane Hep
i burns tea, and by the way forgot
last week to mention Virginia Carter's
fen, That is to be on "Wednesday.
was thinking that date had been
changed when | said there would be no
tea on Wednesday. And in order to
helm you not to get mixed. i want to
say now. while I think of it, that Viz
rInia Carter is to be introduced at
lea given by her grandmother. Mrs.
Edwin Benson out at her home in
Chestnut Hill. on Wednesday afternoon.
October @. Virginia is the daughter OF
the Rev. George Calvert Carter. and
Mrs, Carter. of the rectory of the
Church Of the Redeemer. Bryn Mawr.
Mrs. Carter was Miss Mary Benson, a
sister Of Edwin Benson, Jr.. who mar
ried Miss Ethel Weightnan. Virginia
Is a cousin of Mary Law. the daughter
Of Mrs. Ernest Law. who is also n
debutantc Of the season.
7 THINK it's nice so many cousins
i are coming out together or rather
coming out the same year, as some are
being introduced at the same tea and
some separately, but there are quite a
number Of them. There's Dorothy Stew
ems and Agnes Shober: Nancy Mexican
and Atlce Downs; Virginia Carter and
Mary Laws. Then Rita and Virginia
IIeckschcr are first cousins, but Vir
ginia's sisters death has stopped her
formal debut and taking part in any
entertaining for this year. Augusta
Harrison and Ottilic Morris are cousins,
TOO. and there are several others whose
names do not come to me just now.
THE Charlotte Cushman Club will
L give tea this afternoon in honor Of
Grant Mitchell, who Is playing here in
"The Chamrion. This will be the first
affair given by the club in its new
home at 1910 Spruce street. and I am
sure it will be very interesting. The
tea will be from 4 until half after ).
They have to have these affairs end
comparatively early because the
actresses staying there must have q @
o'clock dinner in order to reach the
theatres in plenty of time to dress for
their parts in the performances. The
members Of the board of governors of
the club will receive at the tea.
