Cabaret Evening is Followed by Supper

MRS. ENDLETSBERGER ENTERTAINS FOR SISTER

Miss Violet Bennetto spent a very cheery twenty-first birthday on Saturday.

Her sister, Mrs-. T.

Deep red carnations decorated the tables at Dixieland, and bonbons and novelties added to the merriment of the guests.

Pale pink sweet peas were the charming floral decorations chosen for the rooms and supper table at the private party later.

The hostess wore an ivory french beaded georgette frock, dipping at the back, and a white fur wrap. Miss Alice Bennetto had on tangerine chenille and georgette, trimmed

with black fur, and wore a wrap to match. Miss Violet Bennetto wore palest pompadour pink chiffon, with the corsage and full skirt in-set with french roulet embroidery of chiffon, tulle, and silver beads.
