Clef chili l Iuii Ih'cii u moui for it drier panic, mid the (amy diets pirtv width Mi l.urlU .Mini kuvc ut ,lic I 'old Loyal Ut Monday evening wan no exception. From the moment the Grand Mar.h UrteJ oil the lucky club incnihm bad a rohckiiitf piod lime. One ut the mo-l ihuimiiiK of the cotume at worn by Mrn. X. ilrrt of blaik and white Mripcd kilk which had belonged to her grand mother, It was made with a long, (lowing kirt. a tixhi-iinitnj barque ami worn with nutu that covered half her finger. A little bonnet. tantcd becomingly over her face, and he carried a kiualt black Mtin ftumdiade. Her hair was arranged in artful ringlet., lu fact, she was a complete picture- of 00 years ago. At the end of the evening, on her way to her hotcV room, Mrs. X took the wrong turning. She counted "two doors to the right." a lr di rections were, and, turning the knob, Ctihhed open the door 'and 'walked rikkly into a lighted room. Then she emitted a faint scream, for the had picked the wroujt room, and, kit ting propped up in bed comfortably reading, was a strange and startled gentleman. They say that his screech was of a more vibrant nature than hers. It was not until she had reached home (having been so en grossed in her own horror) that she realized what a shock it was for a temperate, modern and unimagina tive gentleman , to be aroused from his absorbing story by an apparition of his grandmother sailing into the room. It must be a disadvantage at times to be a "wonder girl." Eugene Dennis was among the guests Mon day evening, and it seems that her mind is quicker than her feet. Or perhaps she was concentrating on the Tay'or mystery. At any rate one of her partners confided to a friend: "I don't know what she thought of me, but I know. what I thought of her dancing." ,' A sudden horrible possibility oc curred to him. "My God," he -whispered hoarse ly," do you suppose she could read my mind?" But Miss Dennis was not the only one whose other talents outshone her gift for dancing. An invitation to the Clef club party was the signal for a number of private dancing lessons, so Gabby'.-hears tell. More than one musician hied himself or herself to a .teacher to brush up on the latest jazz steps. And one tal ented artist in the musical world an nounced to the dancing teacher: "Well, one thing I can do is keep time." The teacher neatly pricked tha"t bubble when she. wearily remarked after , the -session was ended: "You may be able to keep your own time, but you can't keep anybody else's." IT'S all a bluff, girls this re . signed look that men give when a social function looms before. "What's on tonight?" the tired business man asks his wife in a deli cately tense tone. But man, more than woman, Gab by believes, is a social creature. As proof, note what he'does when left to his own devices. Several prominent society matrons have recently departed from the city. DETAYLS. Have the ImthamU taken the oppor tuuity to give mtriikc attention to luinci, to get imii h-iu-tiltd rent, oi to devote thrniM-lvrs to civic better ment problem? In nonchnical ln piage They have not! Xo debutante ever engaged in i diiier whitl f gaiety than thrit uilclrn husband, One of them hold ing a portion high in the financial world was approached by a young man the other day who a-ked the I'iiuncirr if he would addrct. the club at it next meeting. "I'm very orry 1 cannot." a the reply. I have every evening of thi month taken." And they're dot buMitrM engage ment either, Gabby opines. Nor arc they Mag parlies. When these nun are not giving elaborate and w ill-appointed dinner parties handome theater aoirret or twy fightome at bridge, they are filling out or filling in (we prefer the preposition "in") the parties of their heavily indebted friends. They'll be just "all worn out" when their wives get back. ' WilAT is style? After all it depends mostly on your point of view. There are ways and ways of putting on frill. Gabby was lunching in a so-Called fashion able restaurant he other day, when the head waiter ushered in two kindly-looking elderly, country people,-who seemed rather overawed by the magnificence, and were at a loss as to how to dispose of their wraps and bundles. The menu too had an alarming effect, and the supercilious manner of the colored waiter did not miti gate the ordeal of ordering. They finally settled on croquettes, which arrived in due time and in each cro quette was daintily stuck a tooth pirk surmounted by a colored paper frill. These last created a decided sensa tion. The two regarded them with delight, then eyed each other doubt fully. She was the first to rise to the occasion. You may remember that the phrase runs the "mother of invention," without any mention of a paternal parent. Exacting the frilled toothpick from the croquette she placed it coyly in her mouth, the yellow rosette bobbing while she chewed. ' Husband followed her ex ample with obvious relief, and when the meal was over they left the room with the frills still cocked at a jaunty angle. The titters of the other diners left them blissfully uncon scious. Style? Oh man!
