(UP—New York soclety drove its evening ac- tivities tandem this week. A theater —and, due to the new police traffic regulations, found that the first ihulf of its pairing generally moved much faster than the latter half. Arrival ‘at early entertainments was & aimple matter, but reaching later festivities proved to be a com- i plex affair. Taxis were difficult to |set, and tried and trusted chaut feurs lost their way in the new “prohibited and inhibited” maze of the white way district, with the re- sult that early arrivals at the the- ater were tardy arrivals at the ball. Mrs. George F. Baker, jr, and other society leaders who entertain- |ed parties at the theatrical benefit | Monday night in aid of the Jacoh Laden. Rev. Edward Gradeck cele- day. Rev. Thomas J.

Mr. [that happiness did not always lie in ater befors the curtain rose, due to |the new speed with which they wer» able to travel. Those who attended the supper given afterward in a new supper club however, found their cars Bruno 5erved with Mrs. Kenneth Searle pgjteq and mislaid and delayed. | Activities were well under way at ithe club when many of the fashion- ables seated themselves at their tables. Once they arrived, however, the gaiety of festivities made up for the delay. The club, designed with black | walls and ceiling decorated with ‘golden stars and branches upon | which perch white cockatoos was |thronged with dancers. A dancing 'team performing new versions of the walts and a well-know: Jazx | planist cntertained the guests be- tween dances. Mrs. Jacob Rils, witc of the founder of Riis House, was among those who entertained. Boclaty was also delayed in reach- ing the Charity ball at the Ritz | Carlton Tuesday night, and many i memhers arrived to find the historic |grand march already in progress. The grand march, a seventy yeac old tradition of the ball, led this year by Mrs. Francis Meredith Blag- den and Major General Hanson E. Ely, wound its queue of 2,500 guests slowly through the palm court and oval restaurant to the main ball- room.

Mrs. Cor- nelius Vanderbilt and Mra. Vincent Astor were among officers of the ball which was given in aid of the New York Nursery and Child's hos- pital. H Members of society who wished to attend both tha Junior League be| fit performance at a local theater and the Beaux Arts ball for which they were garbed in costumes of the Napeleonic period found themselves in confusion when they learned botn occurred on Friday night. They solved the problem by attendinz the costumes which they had selected for the ball and going to the Beaux Arts festivity afterward. The ball was one of the most brilliant of the season, both in dec- | oration and’costumes. The throne of Napoleon was erected at one side of | the ballroom, while palatial effects | were created with hangings on ~ith- er side and about the botes. The ceiling of the Salle d’Honneur was hung-with blue and the walls drap- ed with silver brocade drawn apart by golden tasseled cords. The drap, eries of the throne and grand stair- case were green and pold, and this motif was carried out in the dec- orations of the boxes. At midnight a *fanfare of trum- pets announced the beginning of th- | pageant which portrayed the Court of Louis XVI, the battle of Napo- leon aud finally the crowning of the emperor. The climax of the episode came when Napoleon and Josephine, represented by Philip A. Cusache and Ethel Barrymore, received the King and Queen of 8icily and Hol- land the Marshals of France. As a diversion from the theater parties and balls which filled so- clety's program this week, Mrs. Benjamin Tilt instituted an innova- tion with the “breakfast” which she gave last Sunday afternoon. The guests were invited at the unusual | breakfast hour of two o'clock and remained until six. They were seat- ed about the room at small tables from which a breakfast of fruit, Spanish omelet, hot cakes and cof- fee was served. Between courses the guests danced and continued that program throughout the afternoon. Those members of society who bave remained in New York for the late winter social season are not foregoing the pleasures of winter sports. The new Beaver Dam club is the scene of innumerable skating parties these days and scems to be a place to wear new and effective sports costumes. Mrs. Clarence Pell skates across the ice in a gally fig- ured cardigan jacket, velveteen skirt and closely wrapped turbar. The design of the coat is geometric in pattern, and the cap resembles & bandanna kerchief tied tightly about the head, while woolly gloves, wool hose and laced shoes complete the costume. Mrs. Vincent Astor is among the patronnesses of a series of children's concerts of the Philharmonic Sym- phony society, the first of which was given Saturday morning. Ernest Schelling conducted the concert which was given for children from 6 to 14 years of age, and illustrated his program by educational pictures thrown upon a screen, German. French, Rumsian and American mu- sic are to be played at the various concerts. Nunzio E. Agnello TEACRER OF VIOLIN STUDIO, 399 MAIN ST.
