Worthy Benefit Opening Younger Set to Appear in Quaint Attire of Other Years. BY PHYLLIS THOMPSON. OW many times you have “Nothing ever surprises me.” Frankly, way back in my mind I seem to remember having said the same thing myself. However, there is noth- ing nicer than being pleasantly sur- | prised, even if it is just seeing some- thing out of the ordinary in a shop window, meeting an old acquaintance on the street whom you have not en- countered for some time or hearing anything unusual, and we are not above a little tasty gossip from time to time, but don't give us away! But the point of all this is far from gossip, either cheery, tasty or nasty. It has to do with being surprised with what you see around you in your own city. If you are not bored or blase about what goes on about you keep your eyes open Wednesday evening and see what | you can see.. Here's just an idea of what to ex- pect: In your meanderings about town that evening you may be stopped by a red traffic light and as you stand on the curb, or sit in your motor waiting for the usual cars, street cars, buses and trucks to trundle by, to your won- dering eyes may appear a genuine old tally ho of the gay and frivolous days of yore. If that wouldn't surprise you a little, you are more blase than you should be for your own good. Keep looking at the old-time horse- drawn vehicle and you may see a bevy of attractive young women dressed in the costumes of the period of 1870. These young ladies, debutantes of the past season and subdebutantes, very probably will be on their way to the premier of “The Toast of New York,” at R-K-O Keith's Theater, the per- formance being given that evening for the benefit of tubercular children of the District of Columbia. I predict that you will find Miss Peggy Mary Whiteley, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Payton Whiteley, with her great friend, Miss Carl Good, attractive daughter of Mr. and }rs. Thomas L. Good, resplendent in the fine dimities, silks and rare laces of the 70s, known as the “gildéd age.” You will find others in the picturesque old coach including Brig. Gen. and Mrs. Amos A. Fries' daughter Carol; Miss Gloria Grosvenor, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Gilbert H. Grosvenor; Patsy Donohue, a debutante of next year, daughter of Comdr. and Mrs. Robert Donohue; Miss Phyllis Richardson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Richardson, and Miss Margaret Samp- son, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Odiorne H. S8ampson. Probably those who will enjoy the ride the most, since they 4 are horsewomen of note, are the Misses Gladys and Jane Marsh. daugh- heard your friends say with | %rs of Mr. and Mrs. Richard O. knowing looks on their faces. i Marsh, and with them will be Miss Mildred Shawalter. Still staring in- tently at the unusual sight, you will find the Misses Eula Council, Nancy ‘Wright, Laura Johnson and Elizabeth Stieg. ‘The picturesque costumes which the attractive young ladies will wear were designed by Jack Mullane who is lend- ing the dresses and bonnets bedecked with bewitching little plumes for the worthwhile benefit. Miss Good's be- coming dress and bonnet were de- signed and fashioned for Mrs. James Roosevelt, daughter-in-law of the President and Mrs. Roosevelt, for a party last year and Miss Whiteley will be seen in the lovely dress and bonnet which were made for the President and Mrs. Roosevelt's daughter, Mrs. John Boettiger, and which she wore with great success to the fancy dress ball at the Italian Embassy given three years ago by the former Am- bassador, Signor Augusto Rosso. Surely every one has heard of the camp on Bald Eagle Hill, overlooking the Potomac River, where children suffering from tuberculosis may go during the Summer months providing the money can he found to send them. In December of 1935, the President of the United States signed a grant of $79.200 from the Works Progress Administration which was used in building and equipping a larger camp (Continued on Page 3, Column 4.)
