IVrtncy Wynne Hears Various Bits of Gossip She Tells of
Those Who Will Entertain in Connection With the
Easter Dance Next Thursday
T HEAR the James O. Hcyworths arc going
back to Chicago the end of this, months
I nin really sotfry to tuiuk Hint these dclighl
, fill people will no longer be "nmong those
present" Rt Philadelphia nffalrs. Sir. Hey
worth was engaged In war, work here, and
now that there is no longer need of tlint
kind he .is free to return to his, business
in the West.
The younger set will' .miss Frances very
much. She goes to 'Miss Shipley's out in
llryn Sfawr, ou know, and she also attends
Mrs. Wurts's Dancing Class. Barbara Clay
ton is quite "friend of hers, nnd in fact
seldom has ft young girl come here from
another 'city and made friends nnd strong
ones, too as soon as she. Frances is to
slay on here at school until the end of the
. terra, and 1 doubt not there'll be some par
ties' for her before she goes back home. The
v Heyworths bad the Howard Ellison Jr.'s
place, Cremona, in Roscir-ont for the win
ter. The Klllsons" nnd their family, by the
way, nrc at present in White Sulphur
Springs, but expect to return this way by
the 1st of Slay and will mov,e into their home
in Rosemont then.
DO YOU know I am really looking forward
with great delight 'to the Easter dance
which Mrs. Aleck Yarnall is getting up nt
the Jtitz for next Thursday night? At first
the idea was to have r large dance and
supper and entertainment, but really, from
all I hear, it is developing into a veritable
ball. It will start in the Ititz ballroom nt
9:30 o'clock and the committee will receive
' the guestsdn true "Assembly" style, omitting.
' the courtesy, "s'll votis plait." It's hard on
. r committee to have to courtesy to every
arriving guest. I don't believe any one but
an Assembly patroness would ever consent
to do it, do you?
""The committee is quite some personable
one", believe me. with pretty Mrs. Yarnall nt
its head. It includes Mrs. Clarence H. Clark,
vHd, Mrs. Blllic .Clothier, SIrs.Arthur Kmlen
Newbold, Jr., Mrs. Effingham B. Morris,
Jr., Mrs. Fitz-Kugene Newbold and Mrs.
Theodore S. Paul. And did I tell you that
Mrs. Arthur Newbold, Jr., is going to dance?
And you know she's some dancer. I remem
ber the first time I ever sow her dancing.
It was Ihbout six years ago, nt one of those
affairs for the School of Industrial Art that
Alfred Barton planned. You remember how
every one used to go in for those things?
' Well, Mrs. Newbold was then Marjory Yar
nall, and she danced n Hungarian dance
with one of the Erwin men. She was simply .
wonderful: so graceful nnd light as a.
feather. So I am anticipating n treat in
her dances.
Then Alva Sergeant nnd Uricc Blynn arc
. going to do n duo dance and there is to be
f a group dance of eight. These specialties
will be given during supper. Among those
who will entertain nt supper during the
party are Mr. and Mrs. William Draper
J,cwis, in honor of their daughter, Anna
Lewis, nnd Anne Townsend, who will enter
tain tbrceadditional ucsts at the theatre
that rvajSng and take them to the supper
g? af the Ritz aftcrwardwFatty Borie will give
a dinner before the dance, and so will Mr.
and Mrs. Theodore Paul nnd Mrs. Fitz--i.
Eugene Newbold at the home of Mrs. Paul
and Mrs. Newbold's parents, Mr. and Mrs.
" George Wharton Pepper, 1730 Tine street.
The Edgar B. Howards, of Haverford, will
also; entertain nt dinner before the dance.
GERTRUdE CONAWAt, who will come
out next year, is n charming girl. You
know she is the daughter of the late Jack
..Conaway. Her mother is now Mrs. Barklie
Henry. She was Miss Mary F. Pancoast, a
slst&r of Mrs. Timotliee Adnmowski, for
whom Gertrude is named. Mr. Howard Pan
roast is nn uncle and Mrs. Joe Widener nnd
Mrs. Ben Reath nre Mrs. Henry's first cou
sins. The girls, (iertr-idc Conaway, Alberta.
Reath and Fifi Widener, have .always been
rlose friends ns well ns cousins. Gertrude is
rather slender, has abundant dark curly hafr
and dark eyes which "hare n charming direct
nnd thodghtful way of looking nt you. She
Is very vivacious nnd has been very much of
' a favorite. She is one qf the pupils of the
Episcopal Convent St. Mary's on the Hud-
Son, which has been so much patronized of
recent years by Philadelphinns. Mrs.' Joe
Du Barry and Betty Brock went there, and
1 so did Alva Sergeant, Elizabeth Thompson
I Drexel andjever so many fithcrs. Gertrude
5Vill bc introduced at n tea in late November
$SJpr early December. -
