Ledyrd Hcckschers Ciue Ball for Their Daughter.
! Various Other Euents OF Interest

WE CERTAINLY have had two days
w Of gayety since Saturday. Christ
mas Day, Of course, was happy any.
For most OF US were with our families
h.,inp Christmas fun and Christmas
nso.r together, and many of us went to
ths homes OF our close friends through
ths dov TO offer the seasons wishes 20
them all.
Mrs, James Halsey and Heloise gave
. ncrfectIy delightful reception which
lasted in true Southern style, from 4
i, tbc afternoon until II In the evening.
In their apartments at tho Bellevue OH
Cbristmas Day. and they had that
.ha,minu Mrs. Halsey Colby, Of New
YORK, receiving with them. besides sew
oral other ladies. I saw lots OF people
knew there, and we had most enjoy
able time.
ND the family parties and doings
a Yesterday. too For though Christ
mas was Sunday the festival was celc.
brsted yesterday also. and the double
holiday seemed like one long continued
day Of good wishes and Christmas trees,
and holly, and mistletoe.
Is IL not a beautiful season? Even to
the most grown-up of US, there are 30
many tender memories OF when we. too,
were small. Even II those memories are
,,ddened by the absence from our fire.
ddes Of many who used TO make the day
"a Joyous for US, there Is still q happy
glow about the day. and somehow they
live 20 strongly in our thought that we
cannot but feel that they arc with us in
spirit.
THE Lcdyard Heckschers' ball was
J. the important event last night. 1t
was given for Virginia, who made her
debut In October, and who is certainly
one Of the most popular OF the girls.
Virginia Is so bright and has such
gay, delightful little laugh. Everyone
likes her, she 10 so genuine and attrac-
I've.
There were q great many dinners
sfyen before the ball, OF course, and
I really wonder as look ahead TO all
The events Of this week. how all the buds
and the others, too, for that matter.

to which they have been invited. It does
not strike me as humanity possible, but

NANCY STOUGIITEN wore the
~ most exquisite frocli at tho dinner
dance her father and mother gave for
her on Christmas Eve. II was of jade
green chiffon velvet, the bodice being
trimmed with seduins. which shaded
into the velvet cxquislteIy. 1t was very
becoming TO Nancy. who has brown hair
and a very fnir skin, which the green
made seem even fairer.
DADDY had evidently done something
~ that mother did not like. What ii
was is neither here nor there for the
story. but the fact was that she took
him. to task about it quito roundly. for
getting that small Betty, aged three,
vas playing in the room. AS the cur
tain lecture finished. Betty smiled en-
;agingly up into Fathers face and re-
marked cncouragingly Daddy. I'm
crazy about you when you're naughty"
