THE SCRANTON REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY, MARCH 17, 1927 GLORIA'S NEW ANKLE LENGTH SKIRT Women's Activities SoeSall Kfec Does Her Approval of it Spell Concealment of Exposed Hose? Mrs. Evan S. Jones, of 1737 her home this afternoon for a musical tea under the auspices of St Catherine's Guild of the Church of the Good Shepherd at 3 o'clock. The program which has been arranged, will be unusually delightful and include: selections by Mrs. Helen Bray Jones, pianist; Arnold Lohmann, violinist; songs by Mrs.

Dorothy Schroeder Collins; a duet by Mrs. John Lavery and Mrs. Frank Gibbons, accompanied by a piano duet by Ernest Dawson Leach and Helen Bray Jones. Tea will follow the program. The proceeds of this affair will be acters by suggestion rather than by description, which is a moat difficult feat.

Alfred Lunt, Clara Ames, Mar galo Gilmore and Dudley Dix among those in the cast In New York, and by close study Miss Scureman has, contrived to imitate most successfully, their interpretation of these distinct types. It would be very easy for a reading of this kind to confuse the audience, but Miss Scureman ably aboided this tendency by her remarkable dramatic powers. The Home ana toreign aiissionaix.

This meeting was not announced on the program. Miss Margaret Scureman, of the faculty of Wyoming Seminary, was unusually clever in a reading of "Ned McCobb's Daughter," by Sidney Howard, at the Cntury club yesterday, which proved to be omre of dramatic interpretation than a reading.

Miss Scureman spent the past week end in New York where shew itnessed this play at the Theatre Guild, three times. Miss Scureman introduced her char FRANK P.

CROWD OF 6,000 HEARS CRABILL (Continued from Page Three) stand and testify that they have tasted and found the Lord to bp Koort and know that there is a reality In the saving power of Christ. Are those ppople deceived or nre they honest nbout everything else but lying about religion? The fourth and Inst star I wish to call your attention to tonisht, is the testimonies of saints and sinner. We clinir to the last words our friends say when they come to die, ami theso ousnt to b.9 worth something to us in this time. CHARLOTTE LITTLE JOHN On Park Avenue I saw Miss Charlotte Littlejohn in an attractive and very springlike coat.

It was of gray with a cape collar scalloped in round little waves. Jn a week or so, if this moderate weather continues, we may expect much of the avenue. By BETSY SCHUYLER NEW YORK Hooray, we have 'something startling to write about. Gloria Swanson has sponsored the Ion? skirt. This sartorial sensation almost caused the fashion writers of this metropolis to put an extra out on the street, after it happened.

For Gloria was the only lady present at the wedding of Mrs. Katharine P. Shirres to Pierre A. Bodard, who did not reveal the customary length of extra sheer, flesh colored hose. Her gown was at least 12 inches longer than that of the bride, with only the tips ot her blue slippers visible.

Th.y Took Notice Naturally everybody who was pres ent sat up and took particular notice of what was happening right before their eyes. You can't miss Gloria In any, gathering, but when she is matron of honor, playing second lead only to the bride, you can't miss such details as skirt lengths. The frock was a very effective af fair of powder blue chiffon, trimmed with flowing sleeves and wispy paels of periwinkle blue, and with It fine wore a very wide brimmed and picturesque hat of blue horse hair braid. White orchids, one of those ample arm fuls, were a happy choice In flowers. The bride wore gray chiffon over a lovely fuchsia shade, with large hat to match, and her bouquet was of white gardenias and orchids a.

very effective combination if you should ask. Lois Wilson was there in a short lace frock, looking charming as usual. Fashion leaders It does take these film people to start things, and I always give Miss Swanson the benefit of any sartorial doubts. I saw her In a simple yellow chiffon frock the other day that was down consorting with her ankles, so I imagine she herself is serious In the matter, but whether she Is powerful enough to padlock our knees or not remains to be seen. Of course you know Gloria long since let her hair grow out to the stage where it is coilable and I must say that she Is much more Individual with a bun at the neck than she was with clipped hair.

But then much of her charm has always been the perfectly unbelievable things she could do with braids, puffs and odd bits of hair. Evening clothes have been particularly rich and riotous lately. At the Plaza I saw Mr. Havemeyer Butt in a marvelous red velvet outnt wun a big bouquet of waxy white gardenias on her shoulder, and Beatrice Pratt looking like something out of a story book in white velvet. The sliver fringe frock worn by Mrs.

Charles C. Auchincloss made her a glamorous figure as she danced. Among the new items in street at tire is the new sunray seaming a sim ple system by which the effect of the SEYERAL HUNDRED AT LIEDERKRANZ PARTY Mrs. Ernest S. Softley, assisted by a committee, conducted a most successful card pnrty of the.

The death of J. Haydn Morris, of White Plains, N. is announce! Prof. Morris was well known to the elsteddfodists of this city as a com poser of eisteddfod music and adjudi rator. Prof.

Morris was organist at an Episcopal church in Tarrytown. He was a sufferer from heart attacks. He was found dead in his room one day last week by a neighbor who went tn Bonri for him after missing him from his usual haunts for two days. Most of the readers of this column remember Richard J. Thomas (Liiew Herbert) of this city.

For many years he was our "foremost basso, and his rich voice was one of the greatest vocal assets that Scranton ever pos sessed. Mr. Thomas sang at tne Anams Avenue M. E. church lor ten yenrs before Elm Park was opened, and continued In the new church for seven more years.

The congregation was singularly attached to him, and during lone Illness of two years Kept nis position open and paid his salary. Llew Herbert died in reoruary, 1901. His son, John R. Thomas followed the father's footsteps and be came prominent as a vocalist ana cellist. John R.

left Scranton several years ago, and is now engaged as song leader tor tne ivaiionai reaera tion of Men's Bible classes, his nome Is in Rutherford, N. J. He writes that a year or two ago. the organist of the Rutherford Baptist church, of which Mr. Thomas is a trustee, suggested that a set of chimes be added to the church organ.

To distribute the cost, members of the congregation were asked to contribute and purchase a chime as a memorial for some loved one. Mr. Thomas continues? "I realized that here was my opportunity to put up a memorial for my father, which am sorry to say, I had not hereto fore done. The chimes were dedicated last February '20, and a bronze tablet carries all the names. We had a wonderful time, and I had the privilege of presenting the tablet and the chimes to the church.

The lowest chime in the set is mine in memory of father, the reason for which will be very clear to you." Thus is Llew Herbert's memory per petuated in the Rutherford Baptist church.
