TOMORROW night will see the open

Academy of Music and the first meeting
Of the Opera Supper Dance Club. which
is 10 be held in the foyer after the per
formanrc. am looking forward to that
with the greatest pleasure. for it seems
go in keeping with the dignity of the
old opera house that such entertain
ing as supper and dancing can be done
right there, and in such beautiful sur
roundingS. The foyer is to bc thrown
oppn between the acts. too. to bc used
as n promenade. and I think you will
find nothing left out when il comes to
csthetic taste. That foyer is dream
Of beauty. as | have said every time
have seen it.
NN WEDNESDAY we will have the
" first Of the Mitchell teas for
Helena. their dcbutnntc daughter and
In the evening there will be tie dinner
dance at the Ritz Carlton. which Mr..

" the Charity Ball at the Academy Of
Music and there is any amount Of on
tprtaining in connection with that.
while the very next night there will be
the ball which Mr.. and Mrs. Francis
]. du Pont will give at the bellevue
Stratford for Elise.
CATTRDAY we'll all go to Emile
~ Kcnncdv's wedding. and that eve
ming we will have the opening meeting
of the Supper Club at the Bellevue
Stanford which Mrs. J. Iiutchison
Scott will again have in charge.
Dancing is decidedly the rage this
winter and even though there arc not
nearly so many dcbutantcS this year as
there were last season. there seem to b"
very many more balls and dances: It's
just one after another it seems to me.
T am glad to hear that Mrs. Scott cx-
i poets to be able to be present at all
the supper club meetings this year. Last
year she was not at all well. and had to
miss a great many herself. However.
Mrs Clark, her daughter Betty. YOU
know. was there every time. and the
dances went with their usual swing. It :
nice to see Mrs. Scott. though. and
every one will be glad to hear that she
will be there herself.
