Sparklers Are Being Worn Gabby Announces Three En gagements in Her Own Sweet Way. By GABBY DETAYL8. DIAMONDS will never get to be an epidemic, eo It Is with sur prise that Gabby hears of at j least thrse new ones having made I their appearance with all the ear marks of badges of bondage. Judging by the position they occupy. This without explanations being made through the press, though not with “no questions being asked.’’ Of course speculations have been rife about the sparkling gems, enthroned so serenely In handsome platinum, but up to date they are worn for ornamentation only, or so their wear ers say. However, It now appears that an announcement Is to be made at a holiday tea, already scheduled, con cerning one of our most attractive girls, whose charms are as marked as the gray matter she Is famous for. It seems she Is about to desert the legal field, where she Is engaged In proving the female Is more deadly than the male, for one more roman tic. The others are not so frank. One young lady who declines to make a statement ie visiting from a north ern city with the .family of a young f man who lias just returned from an eastern college, where he is a senior. She is making his vacation days more bearable, and is the recipient not oidy of n generous amount of compliments, but also of one of these diamond rings. The third young lady is more dis creet about wearing her solitaire on her left hand. She plays ostrich with it on her right, and fondly sup poses that the public is entirely un aware. However, since she was in the court of Ak Sar Ben this year, anything unohstruslve is impossible and Gabby hopes that after nil east ern trip she will realize this and wear it where It should be with an appro priate announcement. .~*_rpHOUGH It is mors blessed to give, etc., etc., says Gabby politely, stifling a yawn, one must be more blessed to receive, for It Is Just as Important to be beautiful and gra cious as well. Of course, nice things we notice always happen to those rare creatures with Titian tresses, and so Gabby wm not surprised the other day to hear that the father-in-law of one of our most beautiful young matrons with ruddy tresses, had seen fit to send a smart sedan around as the result of doing his (Christmas shop ping and doing it early, and that a white fur coat as exotic as the Pari sian salon whence It came had been personally selected and for warded to her by his wife. TIE women who attended a board meeting of one of the city's large institutions for social service are •fcuckllng over what occurred this J week. They had gathered for luncheon and a business meeting, and their president, a woman noted for her charm of manner, her efficiency and her public spirit, was presiding. The luncheon proved excellent and they were all enjoying themselvea when the president was called to the telephone. "Why Jane, I forgot all about you,” they heard her gasp. She came back decidedly flustered, and explained apologetically. "I have a daughter v<1io is sick In bed at home and 1 J - '•mpletely forgot it,” she admitted * shamefacedly. “The poor child hasn't had a bite to eat and It is nearly 2 o'clock. She told me she was so hungry she was gnawing the tele ^ phone.” And gathering up her fdrs and her hand-hag she fled precipitately to ren der social servlcs where It waa most seeded, ——:- -- 1 For Fiancee of Denman Kountze J Mr. C.
