Strdtford-Art alliance Tea .--. go. T.:

THERE seems to be lot of criticism

choosing their dates SO far ahead. In
ssct / have said to myself, why on
earth do they decide now? But what
So you think learned yesterday
NY dears, woman J. know after
hearing that several dates had already
hssn spoken of, went to n certain hotel
to engage the ballroom for night next
resr for charity entertainment. And
So YOU know that every night for n
Whole wear, of course excepting the
summer months, is booked until Feb
rusry, 1921 Imagine 1t So one cart
blame people for arranging their par :
lies SO far ahead If that is the case.
THE Domino Club Of the Episcopal
l Academy will give its annual per
formance tomorrow night in the Belle
vue. Stratford ballroom. And what do
YOU think? They are going to give
iHawthorne of the U. s. Al
There s a lot of fighting, blood letting
and so forth in, it, and you know how

The plays proceeds arc to be con-
tributed to the starving children of Ar
rnenia, under the auspices of the Near
East committee. That relief committee
by the way, gave a dinner and con
ference last night at the Ritz Carlton,
and Captain Hyde. who has just re.
turned from the Near East, addressed
the guests. The invitations for the
conference were issued by Mrs. George
n. Lorimer. Mr.. Walter George Smith.
Mr.. Charles l.. McKeehan and Mr.. J.
Percy Keating. 1t was a very inter-
esting and successful affair.
T HAVE frequently told you about the
/ splendid work that the Wayne branch
Of the Red Gross did during the war.
Now that the war is over they are not
active. but have not disbanded, and the
executive board meets once in a while.
Such a meeting was held in the Satur-
day Club of Wayne last week, and
after said meeting the board surprised
the chairman, Mrs. Henry Brooks. with
a luncheon as little token of appre-
citation of the work she did for the or
ganization and her fine co operation in
the activities of the other members.
Mrs. Rollin II. Wilbur read a poem
which she had written for the occasion,
and most unique testimonial was pre-
sented to Mrs. Brooks, consisting of
leather bound book in mahogany case.
The book was history of the work
done by the Wayne branch of the Red
Gross during the war. Wasn't that a
lovely idea?
Among those who attended the lunch
con were Mrs. Charles Gusts Harrison,
Mrs. c. Howard Clark, Mrs. Wilbur,
Mrs. Robert Brodhead, Mrs. G; A.
Shoemaker. Mrs. Robert Dornan, Mrs.
Allen Barr, Mrs. John S. c.. Harvey,
Mrs. William A. Nichols. Mrs. Fred
erick c. Embick. Mrs. w. H. Stone,
Mrs. Louis j. Palmer, Mrs. Grafton
Wilson. Mrs. William V. Alexander,
Mrs. Matthew Randall and Miss Grace
Roberts.
TT WAS most interesting yesterday
afternoon at the Art Alliance. You
. know John Drew was the guest of
honor and positively every one was
there. A little surprise for the guests
and guest of honor, too, for that mat
ter. was sprung by Mrs. Otis Skinner,
who, looking perfectly charming, as she
always does, made a delightful little
speech making Mr.. Drew an honorary
member of the Art Alliance. And that
means something, you know. Only
those who are considered to have at
tanned the perfection of their art are
given this honor. and there must be a
unanimous vote therefor by the commit
tees, 1t is needless to say that the
vote for Mr.. Drew was unanimous. The
other honorary member of the Alliance
Is Miss Cecilia BeauX, the artist.
CHE was talking earnestly to one of
~ her bestest friends. and wondered
why said friend laughed gleefullv when
she finished her remarks. She was
saying: II think you and Carrie S. are
very much alike. I've noticed it more
Of late, too" Then. pointing to pic
ture Of Carrie. she continued: ''Now
this picture Of her reminds me Of you.
like it though" she concluded.
