Won know. In the Bellevue Stratford
Rose Gardens.
Several dinners will prccede the

saw number OF them all standing

Mt the Bellevue -Stratford. DR.. and
Mrs. Lewis Brinton will give a large
theatre party for Elizabeth and after
ward take their guests to the Suonsr
Club. and there are n number Of other
parties planned. 1t certainly does go
with great ''go" and was the finest
kind of fun last Saturday.
DOESN'T the time fly around, as I
1 Uol
today come the invitations for the
Players. and it's next Wednesday and
Thursday nights. Why it scarcely
seems week since the last one,
and vet It il n full month Mrs.
Thomas Philip Hammer is director Of
the December play. and this month, in
stead of having two or three one-ac
plays. they are going to give Door
mats" by Hubert Henry Davies, which
IA a comedy In three acts and has five
persons in its cast.
Those who will take part will be
Mrs. Fitzwilliam Sargent. Mrs. Charles
Fl. Whitcomb. w. Walter Timmis,
Samuel Mcdowell and Joseph Anthony
Decring. Jr.
It ali sounds very interesting to me
and | certainly intend to go. BY the
way. they are to have one Of their de-
lightful "tea chats on Sunday after
noon. with music of course. and with
Mrs. Robert Geddes rs hostess. And
you know those teas are always de-
ightful.
TALKING of plays reminds me that
4 the st. Francis Aides have chosen
"Nlss Bob White" that pretty little
operetta by Willard Spenser, for their
annual play, and it's to be given on
the night of January 81, if am not
mistaken. You know IL is for the bene =
AT of st. Francis Home for Gonzales
cents. which Is out in Darby and has
been such boom to the sick, dismissed
from the Philadelphia Hospital, and
other hospitals as well, who still need
q little rest and air to build up their
strength.
All our hospitals are so full they are
unable to keep patients after they are
pronounced well, and a place where
those who have been sick may fully re-
cover their strength was unknown Il few
years ago.
Now there are two or three. | under
stand. but st. Francis is one Of the
largest. Last year they added the prop
erty of the late Richard Y. Cook to that
already owned, and they have beauti
ful place. A number of prominent
women are interested in the home,
among them Miss Florence Sibley. Miss
Lagurrenne, Frances Sullivan and Il
great many others whose names l do
not now recall.
ELSIE was going slowly around the
IL library after dinner offering each
member of the family a piece Of candy
out Of a precious little bag which she
