just for luncheon and bridge.
However, the table, all done in
white and silver, was a bit Of q
give-away, especially when a
group Of diminutive bridesmaids,
a bride and a groom, all dressed
in the most life-like costumes,
occupied the center of the table.
A sparkling bird Of blue crystal
swung just above the table on a
white tulle ribbon and Mrs.
Gantz informed her guests that
though "the bird looked like a
crow, it was intended to be the
blue bird Of happiness.
After luncheon someone played
the wedding march and from an
upstairs balcony in the living
room was lowered white cello
phane paraSol, opened and each
prong tied with big white bows
and inside, quantities of presents
wrapped in white tissue and tied
with silver ribbon. Someone sug-
geSted that the parasol was ideal
for gift, for everyone, even the
younger marrieds, had q rainy
day, at least occasionally. Liquors
were served, in the most fasci-
mating jade cups, very tiny in
size and in reality the wine cups,
so much a part Of every Chinese
home. These cups are part of a
very rare collection owned by
Mrs. Gantz.

DRETTY Carol Fries, daughter
4 Of Gen. and Mrs. Amos Fries,
has been kept indoors by very
annoying tooth and one which
she finally. had to part with.
Carol didn't mind the parting so
much, but it happened to be a
wisdom tooth and she seemed to
think that it should have stayed
in.
0NE pretty sub deb who went
Oto the Army-Navy game, ex-
pecting to attend a gala dance
and tea at the Penn Athletic
Club with her young beau from
Annapolis. was, instead. brought
promptly home by an anxious
father, who saw no reason why
his child should risk a cold and
perhaps flu, just for q dance
and opportunity to say 'thello"
to a midShipmall. What the Md.
shipman thought can be judged
from the following letter,
printed almost but not quite
word for word:s
Thanks for your prompt tele-
gram. I thought maybe you
had had an accident on the way
up. It never occurred to me
that you would run off without
telling me you'd even been to
the game. Golly, when I called
your home in Washington, to
discover you had come, but, not
as I Thought, arrived, was
panicky. editors note: That's
what tn e younger generation
think Ct ckaperoning papas.) I
arrived at the seats where you
should have been, ten minutes
after the sad finale. I would
have come sooner, but for the
jeering Cadets, who chortled
over their hollow victory.
For me, Saturday was q per.
feet flop-no Army goal post, no
mule meat, all my bets, includ-
ing my bathrobe, lost, and very
wet overcoat, muddy shoes and
no drag. CEd. note again: A
drag In the Midshipman's vo.
cabularly is a femme date.) And,
my dear, on top Of all that,
my grandfather (whose name is
on the first Army football team
in the program, page SO, I
think and my Dad and two un-
cleS all sent me kilograms, say
ing I had better come to West
Point, that the Navy was q gang
of sissies. What a sad, sad life!
my roommate says should
toss you a lemon, but instead
I am doing my best to make
other plans for the Christmas
holiday. You must have some
idea of what you'd like to do.
Shall we have dinner at the
Shoreham, Troika or Childs?
Shall we dance at Miss Minnie
Hawkes., or Chevy Chase, or the
top of the Washington Monu'
ment? Shall we rent q Cord, q
Ford, or a milk truck. Luckily, I
have no financial worries. ed.
note for the third time: If I were
16, I'd look into this situation
and the young man, myself. Do
write me, M because I
don't have any more twenty.
five cents to phone you with.
