Every once in a while some one who ·has charge of the affairs of the Kenilworth Club attempts some novel and unique idea in the way of entertainn1ent. It is difficult to arrange card parties, either bridge or Military euchre, in any . but the usual way and it takes a clever hostess to plan a luncheon or dinner which is "different". On last Friday evening the two hostesses, Mrs. DeWitt Stillman and Mrs. Jacques de Ia Chapelle, together with their respective husbands presented a "Dance Guape" - Soiree Parisienne, and it was a real French dinner dance. Even the orchestra appearing in smocks and French berets giving the appearance of the Latin quarter of Paris. Those in charge had gone to nb end of trouble to decorate the rooms of the club with French posters and over the door of the way to the dinin~ room was the large sign "Au Rat Mort." The tables were laid with red and white checked oil cloth and the onlY lighting in the room came from candles of all sizes, sha.9es, and colors, stuck in old French wine bottles. "Red Wine" had been announced so the two head waiters. the hosts of the soiree duriTig the evening brought in two big wash tubs filled with cracked ice and olrt wine bottles filled with a red claret punch. It caused a great deal of merriment. A real French dinner was served, some of the courses having been pre pared at the French restur-ant in Chicago. It was a "real" party and very successful.
