They've been living for cals In the Wal toli house at St. Davids and have now taken the Allen Hvans' place In Haveifoid. It is not bo 'large u liotlse. byt then the Mvorse? do not need so laise a home now that tliclr four daughters aie mauled and have, since the end of the war, moved into houses of theli own, for the husbands have alt leturned with the exception of Hany Wharton, who mauled Maigaiejta Mjerc, and she Is with him out In California, where he Is stationed. Marian, ou remember, mauled (.ieoige Wharton Pepper, Jr. He has been mus tered out of .the set vice and has taken a house on Midland avenue. St. Davids, and they moved Into it last week. Jacob Dls ton, Jr., who mauled Saiah H.veis, has taken, a. house In Geimantown, which he and Small aie oceupvlng now, and the John Korsvth Meigses have a house at Newtown load In liaduoi. Mrs Meigs was Elizabeth Mjers, vou remembei There Is a Mers on He has been In the seivlce, too, but is not jet mustcied out. At least that's mv Impiesslon, hut vou can nevei be sure, for nowadavs, jou'ie In the seivice one day and the net vou'ie out. The MjeiOtonie In St. Davids was the old Walton house, and I am told that Mis Walton !s going there to live this piing InRtead of opening the big new place. TMDNT vou neai h thoke at the opeia '-'last night when Martlnelll and Mulo weie locked in each othei's aims for about a "three leel' kiss and some woman In the audience snoited right out loud. Theie was a tipple of laughtei all ovei the opei.i Jiouse, aftei the snoit, Just as Mar tlnelll came! up for air for the thhd time. Some kiss! ! Well, eveivbutl.i was theie and In some veiy fetching new fiocks, believe me. I was muchly stiuck with Mis. llaiold Sands sown, it was of cieamy .'atlii and silver lace cut ei, veiv low In tlie back and held ovei the shoulders with fllmv tulle and lace bandc and hoit of tin half sleeves. It was ono of the most Milmmeiy frocks t have seen for a long time. Mis. Stotes luny who came back fiom I'alm Beach just this last week, vvoie a white gown and her cmeialds. Really some of them aie the sle of eggs Slniplv goigcous! Hei wiap was of white velvet with n huge sable collar. Mih. Jlimnle Sullivan was looking evy charming in a lovely fiock of pale oi (hid silk and laces And Trances wa,s in a diess of canai v ellow silk and lace. Mrs. Sullivan has such a pietty flguie. ' Have jou noticed how much filmy, cob webby lace theie is on the new fiocks.' Kspeclally on the bodices. People cei talply have tun to velvet this reason, though it seemed to me that eieiv othei gown last night was of velvet in some cxtraoidlnaty shade. Lucille Caiter had a velvet cieation which was the most won derful gieen blue and was combined with dilffon of the same color. Many of the velvet di esses 'have the seveie V shaped lines In fiont and back and aie diavvn up on the hhouldeis Into a sort of knot. The skirts I noted ace mostly naiow and the fondness for. little nariovv tiains seems to be passing. There weie veiy few on .tho grand tier last night. Klla DuBauy was theie, bv the wav, up fiom Wash ington. She looked extiemely well in a black gown, a combination of velvets ami point d'esptit. I have seldom see Mis. Tienchaid New bold look as well. She was vveailug a per fectly beautiful gowji of geranium lose t-atin. I don't believe any one else could have -worn such a color and gotten away vvitn It, but Mis. Xewbold not only got away with It,, but fjhe looked perfectly stunning in it. J was amused to see Trenchy explaining the- mechanism of the di aperies to another woman who was ex claiming at the lovely gown, WASN'T Mis. I'ateinotte Interesting on Tuesday afternoon at the Independence Square Red Cioss? And Isn't she good looking? She has the most animated face and laughing blown eyes, and such lovely coloring. She came back from Belgium just about a month ago and had been in Brussels visiting her "parents in-law" after the armistice. Just think of it! Fiom the beginning of the war Mr, Tateinotte was unable to leain anything of his parents. He knew that they were In Brussels at the outset, but whether the were alive or in want it was not possible to tell. What a teunlon that must have been when he and his wife managed to get to them! I sup pose even his marriage was not known to them, as Mr. Paternotte 1 ad been inva lided In the Belgian aimy and came here to build up his stiength. It was then that he met Anna Sncfw and man led her about a year after the war had started. When ho was able to enlist once more he was accepted In the English army and Mrs. Paternotte went to Belgium about ;ltie same time to help In war work. Later he was transferred to the Belgian army and was In Belgium when 'the armistice was signed. The talks at 608 are certainly most In teresting. Next week's will be unique In that Andrew Toombes, theactor, leading man of "Flo Flo," will talk. He Is going to tell the workeis of the work done for the soldiers by the actors during the war. Mr. Toombes Is tei rlbly f unny, and I doubt .not that his speech will be-a funny one as 'well as instructive. Did I tell you tho auxiliary has .started a "Cheero Club," for which automobiles are donated and the soldiers In the hospitals are given lldes every Thursday afternoon and then brought to the ned Cross rooms, where eats and music are provided? They ' had the fiisV party last Thursday and the men had a wonderful time, TSN'T It funny w hat an effect prayer has on children? Sometimes they become : 4 very solemn, and quiet and awed and some times It just happens to be the moment when they have to flic that doll because she might fall out of bed, or my goodness, , there's that fire' engine right In the middle ' of the nursery floor. But sometimes it ,wcomes In handy for them. f. The mother and father of a pertain one "VSwho Is noted for his, eons'ant activity s'ln '' . t.,NL being in that pleualit little Satuulav iilght piocess of dauilng them, and they illscoi eted that lie had worn nu an average of two palis a day and that cveiy pair wn entltely gone In the knees.

Son staited bllthelv off to Sunday school with two peifcctlv whole stockings ai lived home some time later with two pet fectlv lound holes In the knee". "On Sun day!" exclaimed his motliei. "Whv, what have ou been doing'' Suielv ou didn't light or play baseball on the vvuv to Sutnlnv school?"
