Second of Series
"Y" SOcials Was
Enjoyable Affair

The second of Il series of invita-
tionaI SocialS at the Y. NJ. &. a. was
held Saturday evening with much
larger crowd than was present at
the first. The committee in charge
of the affair. Dan Berran, Kenneth
Merrill, Harold Stevens and Dick
Martin worked hard to make the
affair enjoyable and they were GER
tainly successful.
The social began at o'clock with
several dances, after which Miss
Gladys Madore provided delightful
entertainment in the form of toe
dance. Miss Madore was costumed
in red and her graceful movements
were a delight to the eye. She was
called back and responded with an
other dance, which although differ
ent in character, was equally as
pleasing. At the conclusion of these
dances she was presented with 80
gold piece on behalf of the boys OF
the "Y," as AN expression OF their
sincere appreciation.
Another pleasing feature of the
evenings entertainment was q vocal
duet by two members of the orches-
ira, Robert Plummer and Geraid
Gasper, who sang "TomorroW.
They received hearty applause at
the conclusion of their song. Ike
freshments' of ice cream and cake
were served at intcrmission.
The guests of the evening were
received by Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Brown, Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Ca
hill and Miss Ada Dutton, who acted
as chaperones for the evening. A
corner of the hall had been especial
Nv decorated with palms for their
convenience and here they received.
The hall was beautifully decorat-
ed with green and yellow streamers,
and presented most attractive ap-
pearance.
The ~" orchestra played for the
dancing during the evening and
their music was very favorably com
mented upon by the dancers. The
bows have worked hard to get the
orchestra running smoothly and
| their efforts were properly appreci-
| ated by those present. The mem
bers of the orchestra are: John
Jenkins, leader, Philip Merrill. Cliff
ford Lambert. Earl Peasley. Robert
| Plummer, Gerald Casper, Deroyce
Eastman. Arthur Burke and Samuel
Freeman.

warmly:

streak in her nature had been
crossed. While Jim was protest
ing that what he'd done was only
natural and Neal Was shaking
both his hands, she managed to
keep silent, but after a moment
or two she said:
"Of course Pat will do as much
as you did, jim"
Then Jim went to her and
flinging his arms across her
shoulders, said:
"Oh, well let Pat and Anne in
on this, of course. But you and
I are related to the mother of
the child. And from the way
Neal acts we don't need to tell
him that she comes first"
Neal beamed. Jennie beamed.
Everybody was happy. l wanted
to be happy, too, but with the
shadow of a doubt between Jim
and me I couldn't be even con-
tent.
When Pat joined US presently,
we all went home to our apart

make good their promise and
stay with us for a few days, since
the doctor would not let anyone

that she wanted to be on deck

APRONS
BY Rita Stuyvesant--

HE big cover-all apron that
slips on over the head is a
n great convenience to use
when one is dressed up" and has
a bit Of work to do. These aprons
are cut like a sleeveless slip-on
dress, quite loose, and extra large
armholes and neck. The neck may
be cut square, round or oval. and
bound In bias banding or rick-rack
braid.
Women are eliminating the old
time percales and dark ginghams
for house aprons, and for the
apron just mentioned, chambray,
cotton poplin, sateen or wrinkle
proof linen in bright, fadeproof
colors is being used. Orange, rose,
Dutch blue. lettuce green, lavender
or pink are all suitable, and one
might trim it with white, Bingham
or black rick.rack braid. A bit Of
black or gay stitchery will add
much charm.
Heavy linen crash in natural tan
makes an artistic type Of house
apron. and this might be opened all
down the back for convenience If
necessary. This might be stenciled
in bright colors or embroidered in
gay worsted.
The Polly Prim apron is smart

skirt. The bib is cut with shoul-
der straps and apron strings in
one, and is attached to the skirt.
Two big patch pockets are used
at the front. For this apron Gre
tonne or small checked Bingham
is used.
Then there are the small, dainty
tea aprons that one will want
while pouring tea on the sun porch
or in the garden during the coming
Summer days. For aprons Of this
type. nothing is more appropriate
than crisp organdy In white or
colors. Rose, peach, orchid, French
blue green or maize are all delight
full and may be cut in heart or
triangular effects. Fine filet edg-
ing is smart or one might choose
the frilled and picoted ruffles of
the same material. Long tie
strings, finely hemmed, will add a
piquant touch.

Neal and a startlingly warm and
loving kiss from jeanne went
along obediently with Pat. When
we got to the car he sent the

and leather basket which he as

my office.

We both laughed, and by the
time we reached my office 1 was
so full of pride in Neal as a hus-
band and father and potential
partner in the Dalton-Sturges
Company that I was almost able
to make myself forget Jim and
his indifference.
Betty had enough enthusiasm
to satisfy me, and her ideas suited
me perfectly. For after congratu-

and discussing what she'd give
the baby, she burst out.

Betty's kindness. Meals apart
ment is so small two's a crowd
now that there's a nurse and a
maid as well as a new baby-and

Betty smiled and said no more.
But 1t came over me that she and
jeanne aren't as close as they
used to be. wondered whose
fault it might be--and IL there
were any hurt for Betty in the
situation. Then set myself reso-
lutely to work.
I didn't want to think of Jim.
I was both angry and ashamed Of
him. To try to reach Jim at his
office was out of the question.
He'd given the impression when
he phoned Neal that he was busy
at work To telephone would
seem like spying.
AN ANGRY RETORT.
Late in the afternoon Jim came
strolling into my office. Since
he avoids the place grimly it was
the more astonishing to have him
drop in so informally. And I
couldn't keep certain amount of
irony out of my voice a. asked
how he came to honor US. His
reply was good-natured:

ran.
1 couldn't keep from wondering
if that note had anything to do
with our lunch. and soon found
out that it had a great deal to do
with it.
For in about half an hour
heard Nellie barking off in the
distance.

said, in a joyous tone of voice,
standing up and looking in the
direction Of Nellie's banks.

over the rough road, came Nero,

He drove right up to the
Major, who patted him and said:
Good dog. Neror' Then he
patted Nellie. saying: Good
girl, Nellie"' We unhitched Nero
and started unpacking the wagon
with great glee.
For in the wagon was the fin
est lunch you ever saw. The
Majors cook had even put in the
ice cream freezer jammed packed
full Of delicious ice cream.
We sat down and what a lunch
we had! And after we had fin
ished, the Major gave Nellie and
Nero each big plate of ice
cream for their important part
in helping us to have a fine
picnic.
