 HOLIDAY PARTIES
Season Begins Early With Social
 Calendar Crowded

New York. Dec. 21 LP) - The Christmas that shines far off in the wistful future for the 10-year-old, already has become a glittering reality for New York's grown-up fashionables. All week they have whirled through one holiday gaiety after another.
 So many and so varied have the smart folks Christmas parties be- come that one short week could not hold half of them and so they must begin at least 10 days before the day arrives-and continue until New Years.
 Through all the gaiety society kept an eye on the charity so dear to it's heart and many of the parties which filled the days and nights were planned for benevolcnce.
 Mrs. William K Vanderbilt and Mrs. Francis McNeil Bacon were hostesses at a party for the Actors Fund Matinee club in the Lyceum Ni4N'ANNi ''tilNtS IliS It. l lIC Jt1l J was reminiscent of the days when Maude Adams, Edward H. Sothern and other actors under the man. agement of Daniel Drohman gath cred on the stage of the old Ly- ceum theater to make merry on Christmas night after the play.
 This years celebration found the Broadway celebrities of today among the revelers contributing to the entertainment of the guests with songs and dances and sketch entitled Its Not the Heat-1t's the , Humidity"
 A huge Christmas tree, decked in tinsel, popcorn and colored lights. held the center of the stage where supper was served before the program and where the guests danced when it was over. Mrs. Dorothy kirchner Earle and Mrs. Joseph HoWland Hunt assisted Mrs Vanderbilt and Mrs. Bacon in re- ceiving the guests.

Shoppers Keep Busy

Between times, their arms and llimousines laden with packages, they hurried back and forth on last minute shopping excursions sandwiched between luncheon and teas, their costumes an interesting commentary on what the fashion able woman wears by day.
 Mrs. Guernsey Curran. jr, ap- peared for her shopping in sable trimmed coat of black broadtail. a fur that finds increasing favor with smart women because it lacks the bulk of many others and will con- form to the long slim silhouette. With it Mrs. Curran wore a brim- less felt hat accented by bow of felt at the left side, and three-eye- let black kid walking shoes with light gloves and hose.
 Tonight the fashionables will throng the ballroom of the Plaza for the peace ball given to raise funds for the peace work of the International Council of Women.
 After the dancing a program will be given at midnight entitled "The Legend of the Drums''-the drums of peace. Fifty debutantes garbed in midnight blue velvet costumes and each beating a drum. will march into formation to represent the prov of a ship. At their head will pose June Blossom, in a cos tune, head dress and wings of white feathers, representing the dove of peace.
 Then come other ladies of fash ion, dressed in the costumes of revolutionary, civil, and Spanish American war days representing the peace balls which were held after those conflicts, blending in a kalci- doscopic peace scene.
 The directors of the ball expect to repeat the scene again at the peace ball which will be given In 1 London at the height of the season there in June.
