didn't take it seriously, though,
and now I'm back to a siren

of two weddings, concert, two
theatrical openings, a tea, and
some luncheons, I've had prac-
tically nothing to do this week.
Marjorie Roemler had trick wed
ding presents. After the reception
at the Propylaeum, Mr.. and Mrs.
Roemler celebrated their own TWEEN

Jack Harding and 1 heard
Tito Schipa. And, Ilene! HIS
accompanist was cute looking and

Mrs. Jack Eaglesfield were there,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Hornbrook,

Hawaii, and DR.. and Mrs. Page of

Charles Sommers, Mrs. 3. A. Rich
ardson. Husbands were conspicu-
ously absent. Schipa's program was
so consistently lyrical, saccharine,
and John Mccormack, that when
Echaniz, his accompanist, dashed
into a harsh, dissonant modern thing
of Scriabin's for his first encore,
the relief was magical. Why, hon.

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

all in evening clothes and we sat
in the second row! could enjoy
and play under those conditions,
darling, couldn't you? OF course,
John Drew was simply sweet, and

I was so annoyed
Do you have trouble with the

and when to function. And really,
dear, about the big important things
of life like clothes and cocktails and
cigarets one has to make decisions
