i another Tuesday; with the
concert season underway it does
sound like winter is here, doesn't
it. Tuesday Paul Gardner Tcherni-
koff, the Russian dancer, who has
become quite the fad, had a recep-
ton in his studio, a very interest
ing gathering of the artistic and
the social elect. I saw a number
of people there who have been out
Of town for ages and were being
welcomed back on all sides; Gladys
Hinckley, for instance, who has been
abroad for months, and the William
Eric Fowlers, who were in Cali
fornia all summer at their home
there. They have about decided to
lease "a house here for this winter
instead of occupying an apartment
like they did last year. though 1
must say the apartment was as
big as most houses. Then I saw
Yvonne Townsend whom have not
seen for ages, and a number of
others. There was a program of
music and dancing during the af-
trenoon and Mrs. George Oakley
Totten presided at the tea table. 1t
was a charming party indeed; Mr..
cultured and dignified. I understand
Se is going to arrange an evening
dancing class for sub-debs and boys
of the same age, a very select gath
ering. to be like the class that Lily
Cox used to have at Rauscher's
some twenty years ago. 1t was so
nice and such fun! Mrs. Totten
locke dvery sweet Tuesday and was
quite the center of an admiring
group of friends all afternoon.
You should see Mrs. Totem
young baby, George Oakley, the
third; he is too sweet and pretty
for words and so bright looking.
1 don't believe he misses a trick.
In her spare moments Mrs. Totten
Is working on a fountain, a much
larger work than she generally
