LONG ISLAND UNIVERSITY is to give a series of Faculty Teas. The announcement was made yesterday by Dean George Robert Hardie of the University. The first is planned to be held early in March, and it is likely that there will be three of them. The plan is to hold them in the Dragon Gallery of the Hotel St. George about a month apart.

The idea is considered as being of peculiar interest to Brooklyn as Brooklyn has been for nearly a century a "New England town." The Heights was settled by New Englarider the Lows, the Lymans, the Frothinghams, the Thayers, the Chittendens and many others coming from Massachusetts Connecticut and Rhode Island. "Faculty Teas" were great features of the social life of the New England colleges. They have never been established in Brooklyn. But until the founding of the Long Island University, Brooklyn despite its fine private schools has never been a University city. If possible these teas will largely be directed by the Committee formed to carry over the Long Island University card party of February 4th, which was a great success.

It is planned to make this Committee of thirty -into a permanent committee, and double its numbers, including prominent Long Island women and making it responsible for the social life of the University. Mrs. William H. Good and Mrs. Ralph Jonas headed this committee for the card party, and it is hoped to have them continue in office.

The wives of the Faculty will help preside at these teas. They will be headed, by the wife of the Dean, iu accordance with New England tradition. rpHE JUNIOR AUXILIARY of the Music School Settlement will hold a tea dance Saturday afternoon, March 17th, at the Brooklyn Little Theatre.

COMMENTS ON THE WEATHER of the three Tuesday evenings which Mrs. Charles McDermott chose for her chamber music recitals in Ranaissance Hall of the Brooklyn Museum this winter, are redundant, as those who came and those who stayed away alike, can testify Suffice it to say that the former seemed to outnumber the latter on each occasion and were amply rewarded by Mrs. McDermott and her assisting artists for their courage in braving three of the worst rain-storms of the winter.
