know. a niece of Mrs. Cuyler.
Hannah Wright will entertain in
Mrs. Walter A Woods box. and the
J. Bertram Lippincotts will give box
party also. Mrs. Lippincott returned
yesterday from Hot Springs, l hear.
And there are ever so many other par
ties, so methinks twill be brilliant
night.
THAT was lovely party at the Hop
L kinsons' on Sunday afternoon. You
know the baby was christened that day,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Hopkinson and MT.
Woodruff asked number of their
friends in to celebrate the occasion.
The baby is dear. has soft little
light curs and gray blue eyes. She Is
nearly three months old and is quite a
big baby for her age. She never even
whimpered, though person after person
went up to see her and "gooed' and
"ahed" at her, and some took her in
their arms, but she paid no attention
Just gazed into the fire and smiled and
smiled and COoed.
Mrs. James Large. who was pre-
siding at the tea table. looked very
charming. and there were ever so many
others you know there-the Roland
Foulkes and the Lewis Mayors. the
Houston Dunns. Mrs. Stewart Wurts.
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Young-you
know she was Mary Coates-Mr. John
Scott. the Charlie Willings and the
Harvey SayeDs. the Longstreths and
the Lycetts and the Tiers and ever so
many others. Mrs. Hopkinson looked
perfectly charming in a soft gray silk
frock made with the square neck out
lined with lovely lace.
Wee Miss Hopkinson was gowned in
white. topped with a pink and white
knitted sack.
THE Art Alliance will have an in
i teresting evening on Thursday,
think. There will hc private view of
an exhibition of paintings by Maurice
and Paul Hagemans, the noted Belgian
painters. Maurice. who died short
time ago in Brussels, was the father of.
Paul. who is really Paul Hagemans.
ID. as he is named for his uncle. the
Belgian consul general here. The con-
sui will give short address at the
reception and the artist Paul. I'd, will
speak in French for short time.
The pictures of Maurice Hagemans,
which his son has brought for the ex-
own work. will be open to the public
until March "A.
The reception committee for the
private view includes Mr.. and Mrs.
Gideon Boericke, Mr.. and Mrs. Stan
ley G. Flagg, Mr.. and Mrs. Paul Hage-
mans, Mr.. and Mrs. II. La Barre Jayne,
Mr.. and Mrs. William B. Linn and
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward s. Sayres.
WHILE seeking entrance into local
w movie the other day / saw Mr.. and
Mrs. George Jones standing in the
lobby, too. aud was struck with tho
dark red turbau of miroir velvet that
Mrs. Jones was wearing. 1t was un-
trimmed. simply folds of the material
but it was just as smart as could be and
most becoming. Both Mrs. Jones and
her sister, Mrs. Yarnall. look best in
reds and pinks and browns; they are
just their colors. The red of Mrs.
Jones's hat was almost the old fash
ioned garnet, and was certainly smart.
