how remarkably she played in TINT old

Iittlc Theatre when she was the maiden
Of the Willow Pattern china.
Lorraine came on for Gcrtrudr's tea

stockings completed her costume. Mrs.

hair and flashing black eyes, wore
smart gown of black velvet and jet and
looked perfectly regal.
The rooms were filed with flowers.
md there were about thirty girls of the
debutantc set receiving. while Mrs.
Graham had asked about six ladies to
pour tea.
r WAS so interested yesterday to hear
i that Eleanor Arnett had been doing
such fine artistic work. l knew she
had not been bothering much with par
ties these days, and l did hear some
time ago that she had fine talent. but
she is quite the finished artist I am
told and Is having an exhibition of her
work at the Plastic Club opening with
n private view and tea next Tuesday
afternoon and lasting through the week,
including December 8.
Mrs. Charles Francis Griffith, who
YOU remember was Beatrice Fox. and
Mrs. Alice Kent Stoddard will preside
nj the tea table at the club tea on
Tuesday afternoon.
! understand several thousand invi-
tations have been sent out. Eleanor is
the daughter of Mrs. William Wood
ward Arnett, of PIG Pine street, and
sister of DR.. John Arnett. who mar
ried Katherine McCollin last spring.
Mrs. Arn6tt has much to do with
things musical in the city. Eleanor
has been in California for some little
time.
