A distinct phase of artistic literary
and musical life in Gotham is the
centralizing of homes about Sutton
place by women who differ. widely
from the group which affects Green
wtch Village and the general vicinity
of Washington Square. One of the
latest recruits to Sutton place is Miss
Sarah Delano. daughter of Mrs. War

Walters of Baltimore. Miss Delano
has always been artistic, and the
friend of artists. something which

acquaintance then formed has ripened
into close friendship. Mrs Harri-

but her role in The Gay Pretenders''
is her most ambitious attempt and Is
said to inspire her with a genuine
desire for histrionic laurels. Mrs.
Hartman and Mrs. Russell may pass
