And those are just few; am not
mentioning large affairs given at home
and In the hotels. besides opera parties
and supper dances, junior dances and
GOODNESS knows what else. ] can't see,
Tor my part, how the dcbs con keep 1t
nm. And it's not only the debs this

entertaining is for them; the grown
ups. too, will 20 to most Of the balls
and q good many Of the dances a.

TN SPITE of the dark and rainy
J. weather. the tea which Mr.. and Mrs.
William Wallace Atterbury give yes.
Stafford was very well crowded; and
given, certainly did look sweet In q
lrock Of white velvet made with a
rather long skirt and having q wide
girdle of rhinestones and pearls.
Mrs. Atterbury. looked very stunning,

flowers which were sent to the debu.

THE opera dances in the Foyer OF
i the Academy after the opera proved
such success last year. Il has been
decided to have them again this season,
and II I am not mistaken Mrs. Joseph
Ieidy Is chairman of these, parties,
which are great fun. It's like the or.
chestra teas. so convenient to be able
to 60 right upstairs into the Foyer for
supper or tea without having TO rush
out for wraps and wait for cars to ride
to another place. It's a splendid idea,
