AT THE DANSANTS
Army and Navy Spectators Meet After the Game
at tho Dellcvuc Dance.
Tho dansant at tho Bellevue-Stratford on
Saturday afternoon attracted an unusually large
number of persons, and although these weekly
affairs are given In the Rose Garden, last week's
took placo downstairs In the ballroom, which
was crowded to capacity. Groups of pleasure
seekers who had been to the gome stopped in
for a sip of tea nnd n little dancing, and the
floor presented a gny scene, with Its smnrtly
clad girls, set off here nnd there by a cadet In
uniform. For the Army men fairly owned tho
town after their victory.
Mrs. Slay Temple, who graciously presides at
these affairs, was here, there and everywhere
welcoming tho guests.
Among tho debutantes on the floor was SIIbs
Katharine Secler, wearing a most becoming
sand-colored suit with spats to match. Her hat
was large and flat, nnd was trimmed with a
band of mink, tho lntter being also on the coit.
Little SIlss Seelor, who spent last year at

beaver, and her hat, which was rather large,
was made of material to match the gown and
was nlso edged with fur. A girlish llttlo frock
of chocolate-colored cloth was worn by Sirs.
Harold A. Sands. With It she wore n small,
close-fitting hat of brown velvet trimmed with
fur, and brown spats.
SIlss Susan Ingersoll was gowned In green
peau de chamois, with a large black velvet hat
flaring at the side. A suit of deep rich brown
cloth with a small black velvet hat was worn,

Gossip
M-r CERTAINLY had a narrow escape Just
X now," aha remarked as she tripped daintily
down tier club steps. "You know some of us
have formed a sort of Current Events Class,
Improves the mind nnd that sort of thing, and
they asked me to write a paper on Korea. I
kept putting it off and putting It off, and what
with n trip to Now York and a house party In
the country I found I couldn't possibly give the
tlmo to the silly old paper. So I lnvltod Pro
fessor Smith to tea and got him to do It."
"How on earth," I Interrupted.
"Oh, lea nnd a smile will work wonders even
with a college professor, you know."
I bowed to her superior knowledge.
"The paper was most nucceMfut. Everybody
sold It was wonderful, but tho thing almost
ended In a catastrophe. Some silly woman
asked me where Korea was. It was n dreadful
moment. Then I had an Inspiration, 'My dear,'
I said, 'I would tell you In a minute, but that
is not Uie best way to remember facts, and for
your own good you should look It up for your
self in tho encyclopedia. Then you will never
forget It.' And do you know she actually
thanked me for the suggestion) Isn't It kill
ing?" I hear the polo men In tho East are planning
an Invasion of tho West this winter. Tho fam
ous Coopcrstown team Is going to enter for tno
, Pacific Coast championships to bo held In Cali
fornia, nnd It Is qulto possible that another
quartet, composed of Phlladelphlans and Now
Yorkers, may also enter. Tho names of Drexel
Paul and "Billy" Huhn have been mentioned In
this connection.
This will be the first time In several years that
Philadelphia polo men have figured in tho West
em tournaments. In 1907 a team composed of
Alexander Brown, Charles Wheeler, William II.
T, Huhn and Mitchell Rosengarten swopt all
before them at Chicago. They played under the
colors of the Bryn Slawr Polo Club. In 1903 tho
samo qunrtct, with tho exception that Hugh
Drury replaced Sir. Rosengarten, went all the
way to California to compete In tho Paclflo
Coast championships, and by dint ot hard work
won their way Into tho final round, only to be
defeated for the trophy. They wore groatly
handicapped, If I recollect rightly, by the fact
that they were forced to play on green ponies.
This season will, of course, bo an off year for
International polo, but it looks ns though that
featuro would at least be partly ma do up for by
greatly Increased activity among tho various
clubs forming the Polo Association.
That there are in this somewhat justly cele
brated unlverso certain persons who would not
hesltato to mnko a wager on anything at all
was sufllciently Illustrated this week when a
well-known member of the Racquet Club bet
200 to (2000 that the Germans would be In Lon
don or have secured nn Indemnity from that
humble burg within 18 months, which allows for
tho accomplishment of tho Interesting event un
til May, 191G. If the war Is declared off before
that time he loses tho bet.
Slany and varied aro the freak wagers with
which clubmen imbued with the gambling In
stincts amuso themselves. The famous rolling
stunt of "Ral" Parr, the Baltimore sportsman,
Is probably unique In Its way, but there havo
been plenty of other curious bets mado around
the clubs of this city which never received tho
remarkable publicity achieved by that of Mr.
Parr.
One well-known tennts player made a wager
w Ith a golfer of ability that he could beat him
In a golf match around the Philadelphia Coun
try Club links, using a tennis racquet If he
were permitted to lift the golf ball In his hand
while making the stroke. Of course, this en
abled him to bat the ball an unconscionably
long distance, but he found trouble In nego
tiating the putting greens. Nevertheless, the
tennis expert won against the man using the
conventional clubs. Only recently two promi
nent all-around athletes matched themselves
against each other In a series of events. Includ
ing tennis, golf, running, swimming and
Bhootlng,
Another former football player, who has
passed his fiftieth year and Incidentally is the
head of one ot the clty'a largest financial In
stitutions, made n bet last year that he could
walk a mile, run a mile and swim a. mile In one
hour. Ho did It easily. A couple of weeks ago
nt one of the dinner dances at a suburban coun
try club one member bet another that he could
pass himself off as a waiter and never be
noticed. He donned ho conventional white
Jacket and actually performed all the duties of
a butler for the very table at which his own
wife was sitting, and nobody was the wiser.
Less edifying are some of the means of pass
ing the time employed by our 'die club men too
lazy even to go In for athletics. I have seen
two sitting for hours at a club window match
ing motor car license numbers as the vehicles
