Social Activities About Gown ‘Mrs. Thomson to Entertain Visiting Nurse Association i —Kimballs and Stanleys to Entertain at Moon- light Dance Tonight—Outdoor Events and Other Notes of Interest. EW BRITAIN is full of variety this spring. The wonderfui weather of the past fortnight has made all sorts of gay +affairs possible. Excursions into the country and to the shore tare in vogue. Right here let us note that Madison seems| idestined to be the summer playground of local folks. The place ‘has already assumed almost & holiday attire, the week-end: tare particularly gay and those most depressing symbols of a wsocially deserted colony, closed and boarded houses, have just ‘about disappeared. Bright colored awnings are the summer «dress of the beach, tennis courts are ready for play, boats are ibeing launched, fresh and white in their new coats of paint, the «golf links are soon to be officially opened and all in all it begins ito look as though summer \zer% alr‘nost here. W \NE of the nice out door affairs on next week's calendar i H the pienic supper which Mrs. James B. Thomson of «Forest street is giving to the nurses and directors of the \Visiting Nurse Association. The party takes place on Tuesday the 21st of May at the old Thomson summer home in Avon. The house is & charming old place, the surrounding country side is particularly beautiful and the calendar says moonlight, 50, | if the weather is still complaisant everything is set for a gala picnic party. s . - * SPEAKING. of -moonlight—the “Moonlight Dinner Dance” at the Shuttle Meadow club tonight promises to be a gorgeously spectacular affair. Moonlight or no—the committee, or Harold M. Parsons, for he is responsible for this part of the dance—has arranged a very clever decorating scheme whereby moonlight will flood the ballroom all evening. And this isn’t all, the lady in the moon is to come down and dance for the dinner guests, a novelty that has all the earmarks of originality. Bolton and Cipriano are to furnish the dance music and dinner will be served at 7:30 o’clock. The Arthur G. Kimballs are giving one of the largest parties, entertaining some 50 people, for the most part those who assisted in the never to Le forgotten “Vanities Party” which Mr. Kimball himself so| succeszfully staged, managed and directed. According to rumor he is behind this moonlight dance and that means success at the start—a party of distinction. The Philip Stanleys have taken a table at the party tonight and will entertain their guests in their home on Shuttle Meadow road before going to the clubhouse.
