The Munn dinner dnticc last night
for Miss Oowcn was, from nil I hear,
a huge success and went from the
start with n swing that did credit to
the hosts. It took place at the Ititz.
nnd there were some 120 or more (128
I believe, to bo exact) ot the very
smartest of the smart present. The
first of the Monday Junior dances, ot
course, claimed Its share of fashion
ables, nnd numerous dinners and
theatre parties preceded It, among tho
largest being tho theatre party given
by tho Holllnshead Taylors for Mrs.
Taylor's debutante sister, Chrlstlno
Stockton. Tho "Hnl" Pattona gnvo n
small dinner before tho cotillon, their
guests Including tho "Roddy" Pages,
tho Heckscher Wethcrllls, Valentine
Mitchell, Alva Sergeant, Heath Bnn
nard nnd John Lloyd. A theatre party
was also given by the Harry Wain
Harrisons for Rebecca Thomson.
Almost every hour, I was about to
say, one hears of new groups being
formed to take part In tho Gambol of
the God at Monto Carlo on Thursday
night of next week. Their gambol will
be transported to tho staid ballroom
of tho Uollovue, nnd from all accounts
nothing nulto so startling has ap
peared within Its doors before. Tho
"goddesses" will not bo goddesses In
namo only, for all of them nro statues
que and can well be garbed as Mln
crvas with tho exception, perhaps, of
Agnes Kennedy, who Is rather smaller
than Mabel Norrls Dixon, Kathcrlno
Krcmer Page, Edwlna Wetlicrlll, Mnr
lon Ingersoll, C'hnrlotto Ilaln or
Brownie Warburton. This group has
been taken In hand by Cecilo Howell,
who Is sure to produco something well
worth seeing. Marjorlo Itrock will
havo tho Monto Cnrlo gioup, which
will includo n number of tho young
married set, tho Percy Madeiras, tho
Claronco Clarks, tho Tom Rldgways,
tho Kenrsley Harrisons, tho Antoln
Devcreuxs, tho Gardner Cussatts, tho
Howard Henrys nnd, of' course, tho
Sidney Brocks themselves.
Tho artistically decorated ballroom
of tho Germantown Cricket Club will
be tho sceno tonight of an attroctlvo
danco for tho benefit of tho German
town Hospital. Of course, tho Wa
ters and tho "Churchle" Williams, tho
Do Marcs and many others will bo
