MRS. DUDLEY WALKER Mrs. Walker is in charge of refreshments for the meeting of the Woman’s club Tuesday afternoon. Social Activities About Gown Here and There With Local People — Subscription Dances to Feature Out At Shuttle Meadow Club— Election Day Parties Numerous — Civic Music Association Concert Sunday. LECTION Day affairs superseded in interest all other forms of activity this week. Even the really younger set side- tracked for the moment their overwhelmingly important affairs and turned out to drive a car to and from the polls or to help in some way the party of their choice. In the evening all sorts of gay informal get-together ies took place, most of them private home affairs with the st reports coming in over the radio, though the theaters, hotels and clubs attracted their own contingent in no small number. Foremost among the home jes was one which the Stanley Eddys gave at their farm n Canton, drawing a large gathering of New Britain people for the radio returns. Another equally interesting party was the supper bridge which Mr. and Mrs. John Fellows gave at their home on Ten Acre Road. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Rogers gave a buffet supper party at their new home on Lincoln Road and the Sturman Dysons kept open house to their friends at their home on Corbin avenue. All in all it was a gala night with celebra- tions of one sort or another lasting until the early morning hours, .« * s PHIL]P Stanley is again sponsoring a group of subscription . dances to take place out at the Shuttle Meadow club this winter. One might say these are a_carry on from the old class days when the Howard Platts were the prime! movers. The first dance comes next Friday the 16th, with two more following, one on the 14th of December and another on the 11th of January. They are sure to be interesting brilliant parties, affording a delightful manner of entertaining, either with dinner parties to precede the dancing or with the always popular midnight supper party. ¢ * * * UNCHEONS and teas go on, of course, but with the excep- tion of regular bridge club meetings, current events class fltherlngs and slated club events there is little of real gaiety n town. Not to forget the very novel luncheon party which Mrs, Herbert L. Mills gave on Monday at the Shuttle Meadow club hoglonng her daughter, Mrs. Edwin Davis. Patriotic colors predominated the table decoration while tiny elephants, sym- bolic of the G. O. P., were used as place cards. Miss Lois Kirkham whose marriage takes place in Decem- ber is already being feted and was the guest of honor last Wednesday at a bridge tea at the home of Mrs. Theodore Hart on Vance street. * * . - SOCIALLY prominent audience will be in attendance to- A morrow afternoon at the Capitol theater for the New Britain Civic Music association concert. Carmella Ponselle, Metropolitan Opera singer and her accompanist, Rudolph Gans, famp\gs pianist, are slated to appear on the opening pro- gram. William C. Hungerford, president of the association, with Arthur Kimball as business manager are responsible for this venture, a successful one, for the public has responded most generously to the membership ticket sale. P RS. Frederick Teich and her committee including Mrs. P. d F. McDonough, Mrs. Hardy Payor, Miss Grace Coholan, Miss Agnes Finnegan, Mrs. John C. Loomis, Mrs. V. S. Men- dello, Mrs. Edward Lancaster, Mrs. Douglas Johnstone, Mrs, Donald Caufield, Miss Florence Camp and Miss Constance Twichell have successfully completed plans for the annual Col- lege club scholarship bridge which takes place this afternoon at the Burritt hotel.
