Bhe Is the trite of Sir Mortimer KE Davis, of Montreal, you know, .and has any number of friends In this city. The .lohn Kearsley Mitchells gave a dinner followed by auetlon bridge last night in her honor, and Mr. and Mrs. Sydney Emlen Hutchinson entertained the Mitch ells' dinner guests, together with additional guests of their own, at supper at the Illtz Carlton in the evening In Lady Davis's' honor. Mr. John. fc. Bell will give a lunch eon today for ljer at his home at Twenty second and Locust streets, and Mr. Clement B. Newbpld will have a luncheon In her honor at the Philadelphia Country Club on Sunday. Besides these affairs, the Stotes burys will give two dinners, opt, tonight and one tomorrow night, for their guest. rpHB Historical Society Is going to have Hstr Its regular reception for enlisted men again tonight. And the war service com mltee Insinuates gently In Its announce ment of the fact that some of the wounded men at, the new base, hospital at Thirty fourth and Pine would be glad to come to the party If they could have "comfortable conveyances." They also remark that If this appeals to any owners of automobiles, they will be glad to discuss the matter be fore 10 o'clock on Saturday morning. Far be It from the committee to ,do anything but hint, however. I saw some of the wounded men who were entertained at the Independence Square Red Cross Auxiliary on Thursday sitting back comfortably In large cars as they came back from their ride to supper at thn headquarters. They looked as If they were having such a good time, and they smiled so cheerily at Mrs. English as they limped across the pavement to where she was standing at the door. And I know they had delicious "eats" when they got Inside, too. HAVE you heard that the Louie Botles have a little daughter? She was born on March 31 and Is named for her grand mother, Helen. Mrs. Charlie Borle was Miss Helen Sewell, you remember, and It does seem too funny 'to think that she is a grandmother, fdr she always seems so young. Indeed, she Is a grandmother twice over, for this is the second baby born to the younger Borles. Since being mustered nut of the army Louie and his wife, who was Mary Alice Clay, have tieen staying with Mrs. Borle's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred O. Clay, at 1229 Spruce street. DON'T forget there's the Junior Ball to night at Weightman Hall. I under stand It's going to be wonderful as to' floor, for they have sold only a limited amount of tickets, as hitherto the dancing has been so crowded that it has really spoiled the enjoyment of the subscribers. So the Juniors decided they did not care how much they made Just so every one had a good time, and from all I hear It will be good tonight oh, very good! "' " DID I tell you that the Women Writers' Club Is going to have a talk tomorrow night by Miss Marjorle McCllntock, of the "Flo Flo" company, now playing here? Miss McCllntock, by the way, is the daughter of Major -McCllntock, and she comes of an old Colonial family of Massa chusetts. The Women Writers are going to have their monthly meeting the fol lowing night, and Judging from what I have heard of the revels planned in the way of "spontaneous" acting and speech making It will be some meeting. They do say that last year at one of their dinners a certain magazine editor danced garbed In the garments of the op posite sex. Later, however, she donned a lovely frock of sapphire blue velvet. Some of the entertaining was still going on when a reporter came from one of the papers and asked" to see some one. No reporters were allowed, you see, so our heroine In the velvet party frock went forward and talked to him and told him all about it and dismissed him graciously, and then returned to the room where the others were, to be greeted by howls of laughter, for on top of her dainty golden hair reposed a short black wig. She'd for gotten to change her hair as well as her costume.. The Women Writers have their rooms In the Art Alliance Building, you know, and they manage to have pretty good times at their meetings, though they are alt' very busy women, the membership being made up principally of the women who write on the newspapers, magazines and periodicals of this and other cities. Miss Julia Blank enburg Is president this year. Mrs. Cor nelius Stevenson and Mrs. Edward Bok are honorary members of the club. NAN'CY WYNNE. Social Activities, Mr. and Mrs. George W.

This work Is alwnj-s a favorite by reason of the intense emotion which it depicts and the pxtiemely skillful manner In which this emotion la communicated to the hearer by the exotic orchesliatlon.

MASK AND WIG CLUB WILL PRODUCE REVUE '"An American Stew" Feature Sketch of Production at Forrest Theatre The Mask and Wig Club's thirtj-flrst an nual production, which will be the Easter week attraction at the Forrest Theatre, will be "something dUTerent" from nnj thing that club has presented. The new- show will partake of the nature of the annual revues made so popular by Zlegfeld "Follies." It will have no particu lar plot, but will consist of enough bits of music and some of the fnmlliar characters of the former shows enough to make the title. "Hevue of Revues." a correct one. There will be many novel skits and singing nnd dancing features which will be intro duced in vaudeville style. Two of the sketches have been written by Darrell H. Smith one of them entitled "An American Stew," which is n satire on the league of nations, and another one styled "Uncle Sam's House." which is a satire on political and social conditions In the country Involving labor, capital and the "common people." Both of these nre said to be ex tremely clever In conception and will h staged in typical Mask nnd Wig fashion The singing features of the production will be developed to a higher point than ever, the glee chorus having been provided with some verj- effective numbers. One of them en titled "My Garden Beautiful," is exceedingly tuneful and will have a most picturesque setting. Among the man'- feature acts will be n saxophone comedj- sextet modeled nfter the Brown brothers In "Jack O'Lan teru. Charles Gilpin has written an abundance ot new music for "RevUe of Revues," and the specialties nnd dairetng ensembleM have been devised and are being reheaised by Charles S. Morgan, Jr The production will lequlre n great variety of scenery and cos tuming. The scenic difficulties will be over come by the up-to-date methods of using neutral-colored wings for most of the sets in combination with a variety of drops.
