Mf VENTNOR DIARY By Virginia Morse Packard Djinn, my dear—Almost a whole week has passed since you last honored me with a visit and poised yourself beside me as I wrote in the manner of all of your kind. Well, you are really an exception ally nice sort, Djinn, and I am thoroughly glad to see you again. Do I see you smile a bit cynically? Of course I know I .am not always , as glad to see you as I might be. But after all, isn’t that your own fault since you do have such a tenacity of purpose and you do persist in coming when you are least expected, but this time— Welcome! Your cynical smile will change to one of envy when I tell you all that has been hap pening in the realms of Ventnor. I can already see how disap pointed you are that you had to miss something. Oh, well, one has to pay a penalty for something in this life of ours and you can not expect to be exempt. This has been a real music week. First there was the meet ing of the Crescendo Club on Tuesday night in the Chapel of the First Presbyterian Church. It was a Colonial evening and the program was devoted to Colonial music. The costumes of that period were lovely and took one back to the days of stately min uets. Mrs. Dorothy Johnstone Baseler, the visiting artist achieved a musical artistry which is rare among harpists. After the meeting was over there was a re ception to meet Mrs. Baseler. The concert was delightful and ap preciated by the many who were there and it was indeed a full meeting, the chapel being taxed to its capacity. And on top of that more joy came to the souls of the music lovers of the city for on Wednes day evening at Vernon Hall Marie Bappold, Dramatic Prima Donna Soprano of the Metropolitan Opera House, assisted by Nathan Reinhart, gave a recital. The programme was well made and largely devoted to familiar pieces of well known composers. Mine. Marie Rappold demonstrated her artistry to the complete satis faction of her listeners. Her sing ing and command of style were such that her recital maintained a high artistic level. Nathan Rein hart was excellent as accompanist and soloist. The entire programme was as follows: 1—Solo for piano-concert paraphrase on "Rigoletto”....Verdi-Liazt Mr. Reinhart. Aria—'‘Pleurez, pleurez, mes yeux”.Massenet Mme. RapiJold. 8—Soli for piano— (a) "Sous Bois" -. Staub (b) "Romance” .La Forge Mr. Reinhart. 4—(a) "Jewel Song” (Faust).Gounod (b) "The Last Hour”.Walter Kramer (c) "Pierrot” .Dagmnr Rybner (d) "Indian Lullaby” .Lieurance (e) "Dan Cupid” .Mona Zucca (f^ "Robin. Robin, Sing Me a Song”* .x.Spfoss Mme. Rappold. Since a recital given by Mme. Rappold and Nathan Reinhart is regarded as an event of musical importance the patronesses were representative of the musical clique of the city. Among them were Mrs. A. E. Bates, Mrs. August F. Bolte, Mrs. H. Walter Gill, Mrs. Herbert W. Hempill, Mrs. W. Scott Johnson, Mrs. Al fred McClure, Mrs. George Mere dith, Mrs. David Moore, Mrs. W. L. Rodelheim, Mrs. Albert Sachse, Mrs. Charles Tilton, and others. On Thursday evening Mrs. Charles Ulmer was hostess to the Woman’s Foundation. This was a very important meeting in the his-1 A USEFUL PRESENT Commutation Tickets — $5.50 service, $5.00; $12.00 service, $10.00; $25.00 service, $20.00.

Since the national body disbanded in the spring, plans for continu ing .have been in the process 'of formation. This meeting brought about the complete reorganization of the club and we can safely say that it is now launched on a firm basis. The name, Woman’s Foundation will be retained. The club is to be essentially a luncheon club—that is a series of luncheons will be held at regular intervals at which luncheons the women will meet and exchange ideas and views. There will be speakers, just as there are at the Kiwanis and Rotary luncheons. The club does not aspire to politics, reform work or charities but it will how ever be ready and willing to take its place with other organizations whenever called upon to help or to take a definite stand. The officers of the club are Miss Sara Miller, president; Mrs. Robert Craig head, vice-president; Miss Maude E. Mitchell, treasurer. There are many Ventnor people among its list of members. A welcome awaits any wide awake, active woman of the business or home world. With Thanksgiving so near, friends are coming, friends are ■going and fortunately friends are staying. It seems rather a pity, doesn’t it, that we have to compete with Philadelphia—and I am afraid we do it poorly with the younger set when it comes to staging a real live football game. Of course I say this with all re spect to our good and faithful High School team, who defend valiantly the Blue and White. But think of Philadelphia with the Army and Navy game on Satur day and the Penn-Cornell game on Thanksgiving. Mr. and Mrs. Harry R. Humph ries, of Berkeley Square, and Christine Humphries, who has been away at school in Washing ton, were among the cheerers at the Army-Navy game. Mrs. Harry Godshall, of Oxford and Ventnor Avenues, is in New York for a few days. The card party given on Friday afternoon by the Colony Club at Vernon Hall was a success. A large sum of money was added to the rapidly growing fund for the ambulance. On Thanksgiving afternoon the Shriners are going to give a party to the little residents of the North American home. Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Risley gave a small dinner pdrty on Wed nesday evening. And speaking of dinner parties, the Atlantic City Yacht Club has sent out invita tions for a dinner and dance on Saturday evening, December 2nd. It is to be a real Thanksgiving party the invitation assures us and with Dr. and Mrs. Edward R. Doughty as host ahd hostess, we haven’t a doubt of it. Surely they would never disappoint us! A happy Thanksgiving to you, Djinn, turkey and other material aids to happiness. Sandwiches fm Dillnn Leon Klein Delicateaaen—Fancy Groceries B20« VENTNOR AVENUE Phons 7894-W MRS.

Among Our Friends By I. Baker. Stewart Much sympathy is extended to Mr. and Mrs. Clawson S. Coles, of 2 North Victoria Avenue, be cause of the accident to their in teresting little daughter, Mary, who will b\ nine years old next month. Mary was learning to ride a bicycle when she fell and broke her leg just above the ankle. Dr. Silvers set the injured limb and then an X-ray was taken to see if there were any splinters, but it was found to be a clean break, but will necessitate Mary being confined to her bed for several weeks. Friends have turned her bed-room into a verit able toy shop. I think I counted eight story and picture books, be sides dolls, crayon sets, games, and other interesting toys to help the little sufferer forget her pain. Mr. and Mrs. Herman Schmidt, of 21 South Sacramento Avenue, are receiving many friends who call to give them a hearty welcome home after a four-months’ stay in Europe, where they visited many points of interest and saw the Passion Play.

When dinner was an nounced and the French doors leading to the dining-room were thrown, open a <*>lor scheme in pale blue greeted the eye. A Jacjk Horner pie of .blue crepe paper was the centre of attraction, from which toy balloons floated lazily to the ceiling, and each guest was given a blue ribbon to pull. Pigs, goats, turkeys and other animals jumped from the pie much to the delight of everybody present. Dorothy declared her dinner party the best birthday ever. ‘I guessjMr. John T. Fortman,, of 28, North Morris Avenue, wishes he had more birthdays in a ; year, for instead of just a birth day dinner, his wife surprised him with a week-end party, inviting Mr. and Mts.
