You know what l wrote you
about pursuing serenity? Well,
darling, it was all wet, because
I had grippe all the time! l
didn't take it seriously, though,
and now I'm back to siren
/. uous normally again. Outside
of two weddings, a concert, two
theatrical openings, a tea, and
some luncheons, I've had prac-
tically nothing to do this week.
Marjorie Roemler had trick we'd
ding presents. After the reception
at the Propylaeum, Mr.. and MIS-
Roemler celebrated their own TWEEN
ty-fifth wedding anniversary with
dinner party at their home and we
saw Mariorie's presents. Complete
sets Of colored glass, etched mir
rors, smoking accoutrements, gor'
geous silver, the Heritage pattern.
- HEN Sunday afternoon Mrs.
1T Jack Harding and l heard
\ Tito Schipa. And, Ilene!. lis
accompanist was cute looking ana
twenty.three. Mrs. Haueisen and
Mrs. Jack Eaglesfield were there,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Hornbrook,
YES, they've just returned from
Hawaii, and DIR. and Mrs. Page OF
course; Mrs. Robert Rhoads, Mrs.
Charles Sommers, Mrs. b. A. Rich
ardson. Husbands were conspicu-
ousIy absent. Schipa's program was
so consistently lyrical, saccharine,
and John Mccormack, that when
Echaniz, his accompanist, dashed
into harsh, dissonant modern thing
OF Scriabins for his first encore,
the relief was magical. Why, hon
estly, Ilene, for encores Schipa sang
things about when My Dreams
Come True" and when You're in
Love With Someone
And then, my dear, "Trelawny of
the Wells" 1t was gorgeous! Alb
solutely everybody was there and
all in evening clothes and we sat
in the second row. I could enjoy
and play under those conditions,
darling, couldn't you? OF course,
John Drew was simply sweet, and
Peggy Wood has a lovely nose, and
there's nothing so positively thrilling
as Rollo Peters hair-but then you
expect that. What was really
gratifying was that I saw actually
everybody / knew and they saw me!
Just wait till 1 tell you who all was
there.
Err. AND MRS. NICHOLSON
INA sat right in front Of Us: Mrs.
~ Hortense Burpee and her
brother, DR.. and Mrs. Wright, Mr.
and Mrs. Goodman, Mr.. and Mrs
Clemens Mueller, and Miss Norma
Mueller, Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Ayres,
: Mrs. Jameson and Booth, Irving
Fauvre, Mrs. j. 1. Holcomb and her
. daughter, Mrs. Strickland. 1t was
so exciting, dear, and l wore my new
evening gown which mother and l
nearly parted forever over, because
she said it was too diaphanous or
something like that, and really llene,
/ was so annoyed!
4 Do you have trouble with the
older generation I have great diff
sficulty in teaching mine just where
and when to function. And really,
4dear, about the big important things
of life like clothes and cocktails and
cigarets one has to make decisions
for ones self, don't you think? Well,
mother was quite upset about my
sevening gown, which is a love of
thing. Ilene, Lanvin did it, COM
posed mainly of three layers of or
gchid chiffon, each one getting lighter
and shorter. Now l ask you: Who
ever heard of wearing petticoat?
e Why, darling, they weren't even
done in the Egyptian friezes, were
they? l had to speak very seriously
TO mother about the anti-climaXes
. she used to wear in the holy name
of fashion-in, the bustle-shoulder
Tknot-modesty-h eaddress.corset era
before / could bring her to reason!
RI UT oh, my dear. The funniest
thing about ever saw
happened at the Players
Club last Friday night! A perfectly
charming young man you know
whacked " lovely young lady you
know on the back so hard during
