U,HE Pprters' dance was beautiful.
l. There were about 400 there, and the
haIlroom-sit was at the Bellevue STRAIT
ford, you know--was Il mass of greens
and wonderful trees banked on tho
stage, while the boxes were garlanded
with gretns and begonias. The ball
room was transformed into an Italian
garden, pink roses and begonias being
nsed. lattices of white were arranged
wbite vases were filled with roses and
green's. Supper was served after mid
night in the clover and red rooms, for
the entiro ballroom was used.

TTAVE you heard about the wonderful
II marty the Tetlows are planning for
Tetlow married Katherine Sexton and
they have house out on Skippack pike
near Fort Washington, which they eau
"Tbe Tavern House because It was
formerly an inn and they have turned
Il into a most attractive home. They
sent out invitati tions in the form OF
Christmas proclamation and | hear they
we're simply wonderful. The Tetlo"S
have been married four or five years
and have two of the darlingcst little
girls.
TT SEEMED strange last night not to
/ 20 to the opera, but there was no
performance scheduled for this week,
You know. There will be opera on
Tuesday night in Christmas week,
which If ] remember rightly, IS an
innovation. Usually there have been
no performances from the week before
Christmas till the week after the first
of the wear, and sometimes not until
the week after that. This year they
have made the change and 7 must say
] rather like it, 1t always seemed 10
me as if we needed some of the music
and the wonder of opera in the hOIl,
days to counteract SO much dining ana
dancing.
THE playlets at the Plays and Play
L ers were awfully good last night. IT
was the second evening. and they went
even better than on Monday night
was told. The 1863 play, ~ Kiss In
the Dark" had five in the cast-lie0rge
Edwards, DIR. Earle Rice, Mrs. William
Sharkey. Sarah Finck and Nada Kuns'
II was directed by Joe Fox, whose work
as director is always to be admired
and it was simply splendid.
The second playlet had its scene lald
in Newport and the cast included Mrs.
Philip Castner, Mr.. Samuel Mcdowell
Jean Beasley and Monty Lycett.
The last play was an up to date one;
in fact, it is still playing in New York,
where it is produced by the Province
town Players. This was called ''Close
the Door" had larger cast and was
somewhat longer than the foregoing
ones. The actors and actresses were Carl
Lewis Altmaier. Everett Bell, Henry
=. Sheppard, Maria de Koscnko. Mrs.
Sam Cooper, Mrs. Charles Whitcomb,
Marian Grant and Mrs. Henry B.
Sheppard.
1t was altogether most enjoyable and,
in spite of the fact that Christmas is
so close and there are many packages to
tie up in the evenings. there was
goodly array Of members and guests
there and they were most appreciative,
too.
ENLSIE was at the front door yester-
~ day when Miss R, who lives next
door, started downtown. She was peep
ing out again when Miss r. came back,
and so Mss R called in: GLOW are
you, dearP" Fine" said Elsie, slip
ping out Of the door, having found
chance to speak. And. she added con-
fidingly II got your Christmas pres
ent." Then, hoping still more that the
corresponding one from Miss r. would
be adequate to her ideas Of presents she
gave her final hint and, said she, in
yelled and excited voice. "And it cost
more than a quarter, too"
