IN SPITE Of the rnge for gingham
i bathing suits. there are great many
smart women who stick to black for
that costume. And somehow I think
u IA the most stunning. There are 80
many wondrous materials TO choose
Srom. Even velvet can be used and Is
used, you know, most effectively for
q bathing frock. Anna Sartori has a
very good looking one Of black velvet
this season made with boat neck and
no sleeves. She wears red bandana
with a Persian pattern on It and, you
know, with Anna's marveloNs color
and dark eyes and hair, how becoming
the costume Is.
Mrs. John G. Bell, Jr., has black
satin bathing suit, too, this summer
and she wears lovely rose. colored
b,ndana, which is very becoming.
THINKING Of the shore takes me to
i the ball at Cape May tomorrow night.
I hear that Mrs. Paul de Hoff Reed,
Who was Elizabeth Boyd, Of this city,
and now lives in Washington, is going
10 sing with Jane Maule McIver in
ono of the stunts. Deborah Seal is
soing to sing and dance, and, you
know, that will be fun, for Deb is a
born comedienne. The "Quaker girl"
chorus will dance, too. The Quaker
girls made such hit in Mrs. Dtxon's
Marriage Tax" that they are wanted
everywhere now.
Peggy Thayer was the leader in the
Marriage Tax" but understand she
will not be at the party tomorrow
night, as she is in Newport at present.
Probably Alva Sergeant will take her
place. Ernie Coleman is to do a clog
dance, I hear, though that 1t not au-
thorttative. And there Is to be
'sprise." And no one is to know
what the "'sprise" is. III tell you
this much, though. It's coming into the
room in a big box and it's all going to
be tied up in ribbons an everything,
and every one will be astonished.
The cabaret part Of the affair Is In
charge of Pauline Arey Rollins, Uyten-
dale Baird Gamer and Deborah Seal.
The ball is to be at the Lafayette and
the committee has had twenty boxes
put up in the ballroom. 1t is to open
az near 10 o'clock as possible, \and
there will be a grand march led\by
Joe and Pauline Rollins. It will be
during the march that the prize cos
tunes will be chosen. Mr.. William
Reed has donated a cup for the hand
somest costume. Mr.. Alexander NJ. Fox,
Jr., has given two cups, one for the
funniest and one for the most original
costume and Mr.. Caldwell has given
two cups for the lucky number dance in
the competition, while Mr.. George
Grocer, Jr.. has given four cups for the
two winning couples In the competition
dance.
Florence Hopkinson and Mildred
1.ongstreth are to tell fortunes in wig
vans in the hotel lobby. and later in
the evening, after the competition
dancing. tho stunts will be repeated in
the cafe. where Ministries are to play
during the eats
Altogether it's most exciting and l
think -the Church of the Advent will
benefit greatly by it all. You know
the church is the beneficiary.
Nancy Clapp is to have the aides
whole affair is Mrs. Charles Norris, who
has been wonderful in her executive
work. The rooms are to be decorated in
autumn colors. with corn husks, sun
