Nancy lynne Talks of the Clendinni,g Ball Tonig1,t
GiUen to Commemorate the Battles of
Trenton and Princeton

TO YOU REALIZE that less than
Ia month from now the gayeties Of
this season will be n thing of the past
and we will be tearing to MONDAY serv-
icos throughout the central part OF the
citv and Lent will be upon us? And
we're Nancy debutante, no matter how
cood n time she had been having all
winter. she would certainly gladly mur-
rur ID. G.. for it has been strenuous
Nine. now, hasn't it? And there has
NOT been much variety in the enter.
tanning.
But tonight at least there will be
something different. and that will be
tbe Glendinning military ball. Even
while we were at war and everything
was SO military, no one thought of a
military ball, even as q charity affair.
II remained for Mr.. GlendinninS to
think of it, carry It out and make it n
nrivate one, which he himself would
give for his daughters and the 100 ac-
five members of the First Troop of
Philadelphia City Cavalry.
do think it was a great idea and
7 am not original in my remarks. I
always get excited, as you know from
nv having told you before, if / even
hear the bugle of the troop, let alone
sec one of those figures in buckskin and
dark blue bedecked with stripes and
cheyrons with heavy fringe, that looks
like the fringe our grandmothers used to
edge the parlor lambrequins with, and
see also that wonderful helmet with its
insignia and the great strip Of bearskin
fur rising UP from the back.
And. oh, the excitement of helping
brother or father or uncle or son into
said suit. AS wee girl remarked to
me one day. "Mother sews daddy into
that suit every time he puts it on" It's
so skin tight 1t stands to reason it can't
stand much strain, doesn't it?
Well, to 60 back to the ball tonight.
Colonel Glendinning, who. as you know.
was in the aviation service. and is OF
course member of the troop itself. and
his wife will receive, and they have
asked Captain Cadwalader, Lieutenant
Glen Wood and Lieutenant Flo Rivinus
and his wife to receive with them.
There will be number of dinners be-
fore the ball, including one given by
the Glendinpings themselves. who. by
the way, are staying for few weeks at
the Bellevue Stratford. The Rivinuscs
will give a dinner of twenty covers,
which will be attended by the officers
and several other troop members. The
Nicholas Biddles will entertain at Mrs.
Biddle's parents home, 1712 Spruce
street. and another dinner, this one
Tor the debutante set, will be given by
Mrs Harry Cooley for her granddaugh-
fer, Helen Hope Wilson. Mary Norris,
another debutante. will be given a din.

solving will entertain for Margaret Ross
and Isabelle Carvallo will be guest of
honor at dinner which her aunt. Mrs
Horace Brock. will give.

1t going to be lovely party. mostly
younger people. as it is not big general
invitation affair. In fact there will not
be a man there who will not be in uni.

To GO back to my first thought that
u Lent is not far off. do Won reaIize
mat there will only be three more Sun
per Cup dances? The last one will bc
heId on February Z. two weeks from TO-
morrow. i was in hopes second serics
would be started, but Lent coming so
early and so many people going South 7
suppose it really is not advisable to do
SO. But the meetings are such fun, I'm
always sorry when I realize that, like ali
good things, they must come to an end
some time.
As | said last week. like the clubbv
telling of the affair and then that Mycr
Davis music! Isn't it wonderful? You
Just can't keep quiet but have to get nm
aud dance and dance.
E'LLEN. our friend who is getting
- close to five now. was out walking
Wlth Daddy recently and they were
looking at new house which had been
fbult short time. Ellen was interested
beyond expression with all she saw. She
Tomarked as they walked away, THAT
was a beautiful house. Daddy. And
