this wear. She wore 1t for the first time
for her dance the other evening. 1t is
OF white brocade and the bodice Is
covered with opalescent sequins. There
are touches Of tulle on the skirt and on
the bodice which is cut square at the
neck, Mrs. Starr looked stunning al
that dance, too. Her gown was Of black
tulle embroidered In light blue and II
was made over silver cloth. A short
train was worn with the frock and
the bodice was cut square at the neck
VIRGINIA EARLE is mighty at

nutria coat which was made in fu
length style and small hat Of dark
blue duvetyne which was fashioned
with a turned-up brim.

A Nd now let me tell you a tale abou
n Elsie and Daddy. Elsie was ridint
along the road in the car all tucked ~
close to Daddy on the front seat ant
they wended their way out German
townwards and on up toward Chestnut
lIill. Elsie asked questions all through
the ride. "What is that place and wha
:s this?" Finally they came near to tn,
crematory. which as you know. is bacl
on Washington lane. and said Elsie
whats that place Daddy" 'The ere
matory," said Daddy. What's thu
mean|" insisted the small girl. She 4
six years old and has an in1uiring mind
you see. 'rWell. said Daddy. that
The place where they burn people rfte
they are dead"
"Oh. Daddy" cried Elsie in grea
excitement. ITS that H."
