JUST GOSSIP ABOUT PEOPLE
Nancy lynne Tells of Petition Gotten Up by Younger
Men for Earlier Hours at the Pmties-Miss George
Introduced at Tea


y and right thinking are Win VIII, us ,!e Ssven
noue.his Inst bit of common sense is so
anu Anu,tio ,% tbat I would like to shake hands
hclis S i.n,,nrotulate tho inspirer thereof.
unI q" mis-; A lot of the men have
.t.,, together and have, drawn up
Gosnor,y written and duly legalized
ply pnpp r. which they are asking all their
EEpds Eape,d ~ % elun their names. II they ap-
.a ltlem'' 80 tho document. And the docu-
r, .nU or nctition Is TO the effect that
NJ heu ask and request that the balls
ScSin early and end carly, thereby giving
.bc tired business man chGnce to get
home and sleep before going TO WORK
next day. A.. A.,
Thev say, and rightly too, that they
must either give up parties ailogcthcr
~ only 10 10 Saturday night affairs, If
.hov over want TO mike anything Of
tbcmselves or their lives in business;
.bot 70 go TO a ball that starts at II
or half past and lasts until ; and q
n'c,ock and then pretend to "use the
hoan'' in business next day Is simply
impossible.
And another thing, take the man or
Girl who is asked to the ball and is
Nor invited to dinner or theatre be-
Gore the dance. Well. they have to sit
around all evening getting utterly tired
out waiting to dress and go at II,
whereas if they could go at about S:30
or o o'clock there'd be just as much fun
for every one and the host and hostess
would not be 80 worn out next day,
either.
NUMBER of women formed Par
n ents' Association couple OF years
h., H.
Earlier and end earlier, and I believe
Il has worked out very we'll. Personally
/ never could sec the advantage of
waiting half the night before going to
ball, and even IL dinner Is given at
$50 o'clock IT'S always over by 10 at
the latest, and then you have to sit
round and wait an hour before starting
for the party.
Dinners could easily be given ut 7
or 1880 o'clock, and even the most for
tnal seldom last more than an hour and
b half, il that long, so it could be easily
managed and would be much better for
everyone concerned. ] must say ! nd-
nire the men for getting up the peti-
tion and certainly back them up In their
Pndeavors along the line of common
sense and good health. It's fine thing.
Let's help them by acceding to it.
THAT was very pretty tea which
u the William Georges gave at the
Acorn Club yesterday afternoon to in
troduCe their daughter Martyr. OIL
ways like tea ut the Acorn; Il seems
peculiarly attractive for such an affair
and the rooms are so we'll arranged.
The large front room, where Mrs.
George and Martyr received the guests,
was lovely with its soft rose colorpJ
hangings and there were flowers every
where.
Martyr is quite one of the most popu-
lar girls of the season. She was the
one in her class at Springsidc last May
TO be accorded the spoon as the most
popular member of her large and inter-
tsting class.
Martyr wore q lovely frock of white
chiffon and soft lace and carried a most
gorgeous yellow ostrich feather fan. She
Ooked awfully we'll. She's tall, you
know. and slender and mas n quantity OF
dark brown hair. Mrs. George wore n
beautiful gown of orchid fai'le Chats
q sort Of twillcd silk, you know and
rhifon. and she had an exquisite bunch
Of orchids which just blended in with
the dress
A humber of debutantes received with
Martrn, and they all went out to the
Edwin E.dOn Grahams' party for Ger
trGde later in the evening.
THE Plays and Players are getting
L busy again this year, and they will
have the first club night of this season
and the fifty fourth of their club nights
pm Tuesday and Wednesday evenings of
next week. There will be two plays,
THE Monkeys Paw" and Lima
Beans" and Howard Rebcr will direct
the first while Gcorgeanna llarbisou
Will have the second under her charge.
Mrs. Reber will be the only woman
n the first play, the men supporting her
being William Whitney, Roy Smith,
flenry Sheppard and Franklyn Gran
Low. Mrs. julie Franks, Dave Vogels,
Of why Not?' fame. and Joe Deering
will be the people" in Lima Beans"
expect we'll have most interesting
time.
GEORGE is five and his curIs have
~ been cut close to his head this year,
though his one bit OF vanity is his long
bang which mother is laboriouSly turn
Ing into q pompadour On his birthday
the other day Aunt NJ asked him
what nc would like to have for pres
ent' WELL" said he in an interested
zone, II 'spect you better get me bottle
Pr vasiline for my pompydorc."
