charm of accomplishment as a
linguist, violinist and pianist

popularity with the younger set.

spring, and Mr. Piersol who
— graduated from Exeter College in
Massachusetts, is in the., banking
business temporarily. He is the
son of the Secretary and Treas

at the home of Miss Edith Wood
Powell, of Wayne, Pa., during
which visit the formal debut of
Miss Powell will be made.
At the Ambassador Grill on Fri
day, the Colony Club held one of
its usual successful card parties
and owing to the absence of many
of the members several of whom
had gone with the Shriners to
Buffalo, Canada and the Great
Lakes,.there were some silk stock
ings left over which helped close
• the affair with an informal bar
gain sale. the entrance of the
Grill a sale of articles made by
the wounded soldiers was held.
During the progress of the game
Mrs. G. W. Stoddard, chairman
of the Colony .Club party, an
nounced the card-— party to be
^ given by the Second Ward Repub
lican Club at the Walton Hotel, on
Virginia Avenue, and quite a few
players expressed their intention
to attend, the evening of October
4. Mrs. Stoddard wore a white
braided georgette making a rest
ful picture with her lovely hair
and pearls. Mrs. Eisenlohr, who|
developed into an excellent fore-!
lady pro tern, of the hosiery de-'
partment, while the sale thrived ;
for the cause, looked lovely in a j
self-toned beaded embroidered j
gown with which she wore a large 1
black hat.
Mrs. Rosario Bourdon’s all-over
silk embroidered black georgette
was much admired with the Pari
sian headgear which whispered of
the Rue de La Something. Mrs.
William Cuthbert wore a black
gown with a chic navy blue hat
most unusually embroidered in
vivid hued roses of shaded pink
wool. Mrs. P. Mortimer Lewis

of an all-over Persian material
and a large tan hat decorated with
* brown wing side-trimming. Mrs.
Charles Gale had on a very pretty
brown crepe de chine and a tan

ming. Mrs. Prank Moore looked i
lovely, an harmonious costume of |
pale gray. The severe lines of
the black gown worn by Mrs. J.
O’Brien, with its discreet jet belt1
and trimming, made a welcome
contrast among the multi-colored
throng. The following list gives

beautiful and talented Welsh
singer of Scranton, Pa., who de
lighted the bankers and their
wives who were the guests of the
Kiwanians at their weekly lunch
eon held at the La Victoire
Restaurant, Thursday noon. Mrs.
William's sang “Lift Up Thine
Eyes,” by Logan, and “If I Knew
You,” by MacDermit, which were
followed by sclos by Mr. Evan
Prosser and .a dhet by them in
which the tenor and soprano gave
a gratifying performance accom
panied most sympathetically by
Mrs. Alice Saehse, who will be
heard as piano soloist, October 19,
in the music room of the Hotel
Chelsea, with other prominent
artists in a musicale under the
auspices of the Ventnor League of
Women Voters. At the close of
the musical program, Dr. Car
rington, the Kiwanian president
who presided, requested all to give
a “rocket for each Ace,” and they
did! Rising, and awaiting the
signal in a body the large audi
ence of members and distin
guished visitors, which besides
the bankers included a baseball
team which played at the Airport
later in the afternoon favored the
soloists and themselves with a
vocal imitation of an “expensive”
rocket which sizzled with an ex
aggerated sizzle for what would
average twenty-five dollars’ worth
of siz then finished all together
with a deafening “bang” amid
equally deafening applause!
Mr. Allen, a New York’banker,
addressed the diners, dwelling in
part on the habit each animal
creation has in handing down to |
mankind its dominant character-1
istics, and he stressed the evidence I
of this in the present generation,
noticeable especially since the war.
“Sometimes,” he remarked, “the
rulers of nations wish to get to
gether but their people will not
permit it. Notwithstanding this
there are infallible signs of the
world’s advance. Since we
thought the peat- beds were ex
hausted, coal was discovered.
Vjhen mules and horses would no
longer furnish adequate means of
travel and transportation, elec
tricity was discovered, and so for
M\ery dark problem there will be
an answer. To-doubt that things
are coming out all right amounts
to an insult to God.”
The optimism of his discourse
was caught by all present and the
affair continued to grow better
and better until Madame Williams
had sung repeatedly and it was
necessary to pack up the Kiwanis
Fun Kit until the next time.
Madame Williams made a strid
ing picture in a pearl gray gown
and a sand colored toque of felt

So many folks have said, since
the timely arrival of the “Chatter
Box” in the Ventnor News—
“Who is Dorothy Kahn?” So it
is with great pleasure I adjust
my trusty steed for a ride o’fer
the land of sweet memories. 'You
will probably soon know more of
the charming little lady, than I do,
before you have perused many
issues of “My Diary,” which is
her weekly contribution to local
interests dealing, as it does, with
first-hand news which she confides
to her Ventnor pages between
glasses, as she is a senior at the
famous Atlantic City High School,
and all the interesting chats she
writes are cf the true story breed.
Miss Dorothy is an Atlantic City
girl—the daughter, of Mr. and
Mrs. George Kahn, of the Santa
Eita Apartments, who, in detail
ing- the doings of her classmates
and others, has met the approval
of all who know this pretty, viva
cious brunette. Her mother is
