for all was that one given by Dr..

Tuesday evening at their home
on Lake View avenue for their
house guests, Mr.. and Mrs. Con-

Philadelphia. Whether it was
because of the lack of parties
this fall or because of the dis
tinguished guests, maybe it was
the combination of both that
made a decidedly pleasant even
ing for those who were there.
DR.. and Mrs. Grier are past mas
ters of hospitality, anyway, and
the party was one more oppor-
tunity to prove it. With the
well beloved of baseball fans
present, it is a good guess that
that sport was discussed. Bridge
