TATTLING TIDBITS
'— • * 'UVJLJ Uw"
“I was never so surprised in all
my life,” averred attractive Ruth
Keefer yesterday, talking about
the surprise party given her last
Saturday evening. Between you
and me, however, I think Ruth
had a slight inkling of the whole
affair, but she was too good an
actress to let anyone know that
she knew.
; , The party was in honor of her—
well, it’s nobody’s business what
birthday it was, and far be
it from me, even though I do
know that secret, to let it out.
The entire party was arranged on
the Q. T. by her friend, Edna
, Rydpr. And Edna surely knows
how to give a cracker-jack party
at another person’s house.
Everyone gathered at Edna’s
home and then at exactly eight

all waited.
Suppose
she had
slipped out.
But, no, she
answered the ring and then what
an avalanche of merrymaking
greeted her!
Included among them were Lil
lian Ritter, Floss Farrell, Leanore
Schaffer, Vera Woolhouse, Syd

Floss Mason, the O’Neil twins,
Elbert Seeley, Dick Bew, Gordon
Yates, Harry Kaufmann, Clara
Sheppard, Frank Mulligan, Grace
Boyajian, Charles Young, Dick
Towell and Ruth Reading. Of
course there were many more, but
everything and everybody was in
such excitement that I couldn’t
keep track of who was and who
wasn’t.
A few days ago I decided to
wander over to the Airport
Stadium and watch the high school
boys practice. Football may be
barbaric and even brutal, but it
certainly does attract the girls.
What a crowd of them there was
to watch the struggle between the
varsity and the scrubs. " First of
all I noticed Ruth Lane. She
looked adorable in a lavender felt
hat which contrasted charmingly
with her white fur coat. She wore
a tan silk dress with shoes and
silk stockings to match.
Clara Sheppard was there and
made a perfect picture in her
lavender broadcloth sport suit and
a black felt hat trimmed with
velour and opossum. Autumn
with all its golden glory was per
sonified by Marion Winters, who
was garbed in a black silk coat
finished off with a white fur col
lar. Her attire was completed
with a cerise taffeta hat.
The wind was certainly playing
havoc with jBeryle Breitinger’s
hair, but Beryle didn’t mind for
she carried her hat in her hand,
and seemed plenty warm enough
under her handsome brown coat.
Floss Mason was there, too. She
was most attractive in a black
velvet hat, covered with vari
colored feathers. It looked. like
a painter’s box turned upside
down. She kept the chilly breezes
from her throat by a canton crepe
scarf. From out of the pockets
in her tan caracul coat I could see
letters bulging.
I Peeking out of the corner of my
eye, I saw one was a special de
livery from Colgate. Then I
could make out another post
mark that had been stamped in
Florida.
“I see you have heard from A1
Westney, Floss,” I ventured.
“O, yes,” she replied, “but I
might just as well not. For
really he doesn’t tell me anything
that I want to know. He did say,
however, that he is out for track
up there, that Jack Luse is one
of the biggest men up there. He’s
over six feet, you know. A1 also
said , that Howard Bolte is in the I
college orchestra and
has been engaged to
dance at several fra
ternity affairs, and that
John Dagrossa is
knocking them right
and left on the football
field.”
bile letter xiuxii ruuiua,
Floss?” I persisted with repor
torial nerve.
“0, that’s from Trever Wil
liams. He is down there on busi
ness. Beal estate or something
like that, but he gets time to go
in bathing every day and even
manages to take in some of the
dances. His sister, Beryle, is in
New York now. She is either
with a show or is posing as a
model, I am not certain which.”
Speaking of football, let me
mention some of the younger set
I saw eagerly watching the
progress of the Roses the other
Sunday. There were Mr. and
Mrs. Dan Bader. There was Stan
ley Johnson who seemed more en
grossed in conversation with Dot
Freeman than he was in the game.
There were the McKnight broth
ers, Eddie and Vince. Then there
was the high school crowd which
included Dick Ogden, Barney
Sasseen, Wilbur McKinley and
Leonard Scott.
By the way, have you seen the
floaters for the Bones’ Dance
next Saturday . evening? They
certainly are cute look
ing and I hear all the
girls are saving them
for their grad books.
They are very artistic *
and all that, but I
don’t think Columbus
would like the cari
cajture of himself which is on the
cards.
I was talking to Harry Kauf
man about the Columbus dance
just yesterday. He is chairman
of the committee, you know, and
he tells me that this is going to be
some dance. There will be all
kinds of novelty numbers, lucky
favor dances, exhibitions and sur
prises galore. Of course all of
them will be apropos of Columbus
and his good ship, the Santa
Maria. I believe that was the
name of it.
Besides Harry Kaufman, the
committee is composed of Jack
Martin, the two Clems, Fortman
and Wasleski. Everett Allen of
the Bones Alumni, is also on the
committee.
My gracious! I almost forgot

to mention where the dance is to
be. It is to be at the Ambassador
Hotel in the Pompeian Koom.
The New World Orchestra will
furnish some rare African melod
ies for the dance numbers. Now
there can only be two possible
reasons why anyone of the
younger set won’t be there, and
they are the two dollars charged
for admission.
While I am on 'the subject of
dances I might just as well let
you know that the Phi Delta
Sigma fraternity is planning for
a big dance. But this won’t come
off until the middle of November,
so unless any of the boys are
really afraid someone else will
beat them to it, they won’t need
to make their bids for some time
to come.
Yes, the old adage that every
thing comes at once is certainly
true. Along with these dances
and parties, comes Hallowe’en,
the spookiest of all occasions. At
least that is what the Alpha
Gamma girls intend to make it
this year. Already they have
gotten plans underway. From
what I hear they are jgoing to
etange tne
Chelsea Yacht
Club into a
cornfield scat
tered with
pumpkins and
scare - crows.
And of course
there will be a
barrel of cider,
just to keep
people from
getting dry in
side in case

aoes not wet them enough.
Among those who will see that
the pumpkin party is to be a
success are Elizabeth Lloyd, Lena
Abernathy, Claire Heidleberger
and Lillian Ritter. <■
Another organization planning
festivities for Hallowe’en is the
K. K. K. No, that does not stand
for the Ku Klux Klan nor a soft
drink; it in only the initials of
the Kio Kei Klub which is a real
nice organization of girls. There
was certainly a lively meeting of
the members the other evening at
the home of Dot Roe on Provi
dence- Ave.
Of course I wasn’t there, but I
heard all about it. There were
Mrs. Tommy MacDonald, Mrs.
Starritt Hill (isn’t it dreadful the
way these young people are get
ting married nowadays) Jessie
Roberts, Melvine Hess, Vera
Buehler, Ethel Short, Dot Short,
Louise Fisher, Dot Roe, Marie and
Myrtle Day, Rena Stebbins, Jean
Godfrey and Floss Glenn.
It’s my private opinion that all
of these meetings are an excuse
to have the . . . No, I won’t
say it. At any rate after the
business session a crowd of fel
lows came around to the meeting
as usual, partook of the refresh
ments and then escorted the girls
home. Among the gallants who
believe it a bounded duty to see
that the girls are not allowed to
go ’home by themselves were
Ralph Gordon, Jack Tinney, Joe
MacElroy, Dick Mahoney, Jack
Martin, Jimmy Eckman and Joe
Ryan.

But I heard all about it, and even -
who the new officers are, just by
eavesdropping.
You see, the gathering was at
the home of Larry Malin, who, by
the way, was elected the presi
dent. Jimmy Reed was made the
vice-president, Bill Hughes, the
treasurer; while order will be
kept in the future by Howard
Philips, the sergeant-at-arms.
