P 'WW - EVENING LEDGER PHILADELPHIA", FRIDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1915. w 11 NANCY WYNNE WONDERS AT THE WORLD'S ATTITUDE NEW YEAR'S EVE BETROTHAL PARTIES AND AFFAIRS FOR CHILDREN ARE OF INTEREST TWO ATTRACTIVE DAUGHTERS OF MR. AND MRS. BURTON Many Gay Parties Will Take Place Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Mr. and Mrs. Engel Entertained at Their Home in Honor of Their Daughter, Miss Marion Engel, and Mr. M. C. Packman, Whose Engagement Was Announced Pepper Will hive Large Ball for Their Daughter and Niece Mr. Heckscher's Costume Party " unywi WHY Is It tnnt ninny persons, nr. they Riy or Brave, sportive or lerene. think It nbsolutoly essential to dance the ll ienr nui or 10 vvnicn u tut In some hilnrlnui fashion, ofttlmes quite foreign to their nature? Hut so the world vvngs on, unci the last day of the year Is ended by many In this most unseemly fashion. I know of numerous ery young girls, not to mention many ituld and respectable matrons, whose mothers paze on placidly while their daughters 'nblbo champnEiie or the more deadly cocktail until when mid night arrives they, while not actually Intoxicated, are ery silly and slightly maudlin In their behavior And then, naturally, tho next day they have that uncomfortable feeling with them: prob ably to this are due tho many good reso lutions which nre nnnttally made and as consistently broken. Of course we nre all looking forward to the CSeorRO Wharton Peppers ball to night at tho IJcllovtie-.Strntford for Eleanor and their niece, Prances Scott. It li suro to bo a success, for both girls are thoroughly well liked and will mnko charming hostesses. Frances Hcott's mother Is a sister of Mr. Pepper: she wns Frnnces Pepper, lloth Mrs. Pepper and Mm. Scott will receive with tho debutantes. There will be a number of dinners beforo the dance. Mr. Willie Hopkins and his half sister, Miss Nellie Hop kins, who nre as Inseparable a p.ilr as It Is possible to find, will give a dinner for Ros.imondo Fisher, and Almco Hutchinson will entertain at dinner for Eleanor Cuyler, who Is her cotiBln. Then tho Alfred Clays will give a din ner for Hmlllo Kennedy; thr J Franklin McFaddens will also entertain, im will tho William Townscnd Wrights. Then, too, Oce Heckscher's party will come off tonight, also at tho Hellevue Btratford. This Is to be a costume nf falr, and many and weird aro the frocks that aro to bo worn. Most of the younger mnrrled folk will attend this rnrty. and I hear Ooo has planned alt manner of surprises nnil spectacles for the muglc hour of midnight. The Ned Crozcrs and Albert Franclnes will en tertain ut dinner before tho dance. Bllllo Welsh has come up for tho Christmas holidays. Yon know he Is tho manager of the Uurenti of Fisheries and became quite famous several yenrs ago for discovering a bank of scallops In some unusual place. HllUe Is one of the best liked men in town, and every one Is delighted to seo his genial countennnco and Apollo Bclvedercan physique In our midst. It Is rather pathetic, I think, In pass ing through ltlttcnhouao Squaro to sec the tiny Christmas tree, nil decorated with hells and balls, at the foot of Tom's grave. Tho man who guards the inunro trimmed It there, for ho snys ho can't get over Tommy's loss, over a yenr ago, how ho wasted away before his very eyes; bo every year ho Is going to dress tho tiny treo In memory of tho old cat which all the children loved so well. Girls, bo enrcful where you go to drlvo with the man of your heart nnd do not tako tho road which leads through tho park, no matter how ro mantic the "Wlssahlckon may seem, for alas! thero la a law which forbids Bpoontng; and I hear ono warm eve ning recently a lass and a lad were motoring through and Btopped tho car a moment on tho drlvo to enjoy tho view as the twilight was coming on, when up camo tho guard In his heartless, matter-of-fact way and said, "Movo on, please!" So tako warning and don't go Into tho park for a rldo or a stroll unless you Intend to keep moving all tho time. The Charles O'Donnoll Lee, Jr.'s, who are. occupying the Henry Pleasants' house at Wayno this year, have sent out cards for an eggnog party tomor row, and as tho Lees aro from the pic turesque Necdwood Forest section of Maryland, a true Southern atmosphere will pervado tho affair. The young matron will be assisted In receiving by her slster-ln-law, Mrs. Joseph Lee, who will bo remembered as Mary Harris, a nleco of tho Hartman Kuhns and a sister of Mrs. Charlie Boone, Sarah Fisher's ball In Baltlmoro Tuesday night must havo been quite a wonderful party, to Judgo from the en thusiastic accounts of It that I have heard. They do not often have late parties In Baltlmoro, but when they do they are very good. There was quite a crowd of Phlladelphlans there, among them Jean Bochman, who was Miss Fisher's house guest; Sarah Franklin, Theodora Llllle, Roddy Wlster, nert Bell, Reggie Hutchinson, Hlbcrt Dent, Henny Geyelln, Brooke and Ted Ed wards, Johnny Scott, Charlie Wetter, Harry Adams, Fred Spencer and Hous ton Woodward. Tho Belvedere ball room was beautifully decorated with flags, and Louis Fisher, who seems to be the Meyer Davis of Baltimore, kept two orchestras going all the time. Breakfast at a bull Is a decided rarity Jn Baltimore, and 6 o'clock found a. most every one still going strong and thoroughly enjoying scrambled eggs, sausage and most delicious buckwheat cakes. Philadelphia is now doing Its share of the entertaining, as Amy Rob inson and Helen Whltridgo came up for the Nellsons' and will remain for the Peppers, while Eleanor Carey, of tennis fame, and the two White sisters, Suzanne and Beckle (who, they say, Is Baltimore's most popular debutante), also several boys, will come up today Xor the Peppers.
