Ventnor presents rather a sad
dened aspect around this time of
year for society has largely gone
vacationing, the younger set have
departed en masse for school or
college, and the cottages of
visitors have been boarded up
until next summer. Mrs. Charles
Gardner is among those who
are going to remain with us
throughout the year, having just
leased a cottage on Ventnor Ave
nue with that end in view. On
Tuesday afternoon she gave a
bridge party in honor of Mrs.
Jacob Mathews, of West Phila
delphia, who, with her husband
is visiting Mi-s. Gardner for a
fortnight. There were four tables
of bridge with leather vanity
cases as the prizes. The guests
were mostly matrons from out of
town. Mrs. Joseph Conroy, Mrs.
Elizabeth Fox, Mrs. Robert Fish
man, of Philadelphia; Mrs.
Arthur Duberson, Mrs. Lawrence
Duberson, Mrs. Joseph Simms,
Mrs. Jeremiah W. Nixon, Mrs.
Wesley Tilton, Mrs. Theodore
Wilson, Mrs. Clinton Watson, of
Lancaster, Pa.; Mrs. Sarah Gard
ner, Mrs. Sylvia Nelson, Mrs.
Andrew Fortner, Mrs. Harry
Griffin.
Little Donald Eastlake, Jr., had
a wonderful third birthday party
last Monday afternoon. Mrs.
William L. Moise, of Harrisburg
Avenue, was the hostess. There
was a donkey game which yielded
a large collection of toys, baskets
of candy, and later, a huge birth
day cake, to grace the center of
the refreshment table. Mary
Anna Schwarz, Doris Brooks,
Alice Eastlake, Cecelia Moise
were among the party.

P. Beach, Mrs. James Leeds, Mrs.
Clawson S. Coles, Mrs. George H.
Rogers, Jr., and Mrs. Frederick
W. Schwartz—we are so tired of
putting the names of guests at
the end, that, just for the sake
of a change we’ve switched them
up to the top 'of the paragraph.
They were all on hand when Mrs.
Joseph Shinn entertained her
bridge club at her Newport Ave
nue cottage last week.
Mr. and Mrs. W. Scott John

Ruth, to the Harcun School, Bryn

The dahlias are certainly lovely
this year—or perhaps every
^ hostess who has used them for
decorations this fall is blessed
with an artistic eye. They have
certainly been effectively em
ployed at the parties lately, but I
never more so, we think, than at
the Bridge which Mrs. William
Gorman gave on Monday in honor
' of her sister Miss Virginia
Hackett, of Montclair, N. J. Pink
and russet dahlias—masses of
them—succeeded in transforming

All good things come in threes
(and bad things, too, sometimes),
but it was a case of the former
this week when Mrs. I. J. Alleman
and Mrs. G. M. ,Holt, of 4 North
Sacramento Avenue, entertained
at three separate and distinct
luncheon and bridge parties.
Rather a clever method of divid
ing the responsibility which comes
from an extra long list of invited
guests. The luncheon table favors
were dainty initial handkerchiefs
embroidered in colored silk, while
the card table prizes consisted of
embroidered pillow slips.
Mrs. George Marshall is going
back to her winter home in Elkins
Park shortly, so her luncheon and
bridge on Friday afternoon was
in the nature of a farewell affair.
There were dahlias again, artisti
cally combined with gladiolas and
roses, by way of decoration.
Three tables of bridge came
later for Mrs. Edward Postal,
Mrs. Frank J. Milford, Mrs.
Harry Peterson,- Mrs. Walter T.

Mrs. George Lewis, Mrs. Samuel

Football Makes
Debut at A. C. H. S.
Real Activities Commence In
Shore Institution
By Anard W. Littman
'Coach Harcourt’s call for can
didates for the A. C. H. S. foot
ball team was well answered,
since more than one hundred
“studes” tried out for various
positions on the Varsity and the
other teams. It is quite evident
that the system 'being used by
the coach will be of beneficial use
to the players. A dummy is used
for tackling purposes, on which
the coaches illustrate the best
methods of tackling a player.
Assistant Coach Thomas in
structed the boys in the art of
getting the football when on the
field. The veterans are equipped
with new uniforms, while the
scrub team has the uniforms used
last year by the Varsity. Daily
workouts will be held until the
very first game.
Tennis is also gaining popular
ity. The tennis games to decide
the winners in the mixed, doubles
and singles are now being held on
the Inlet courts. Medals will be
awarded this year which will act
as an inspiration to those compet
ing for the honors. Bill Jordan,
the present titleh older, will not
have an easy time in defending
his laurels, due to the fact that
competition will come from the
following noteworthy opponents:
Jack Lippincott, runner up to the
last year’s title; Jimmy Cullen,
Dick Alexander, Howard Bolte,
Paul Blum and Nick Polites. The
rules governing the tourney are
here printed:
Tennis Tournament for High
School Boys and Girls

ation rules shall govern all con

The dance of the Phi Delta
Sigma Fraternity will probably
be one of the big social hits of
the season, judging by the en
thusiasm displayed on the part of
those intent on going to the
affair. The floaters were recently
distributed on which was written:
“Columbus Day Dance, to be
given by the Omicron Chapter of
the Phi Delta Sigma Fraternity
of America in the Vernon Room
of Haddon Hall on Saturday,
October 14, 1922. Tax, $2.00.”
