The Italian Panton? Marquis Macchi Di Cellere 
and Countess Cellere were dinner-guests the past Sunday 
evening of Mrs. Arthur Meeker in her Chicago home on 
Lake Shore drive. The Ambassador went to Chicago 
for the Allied bazaar and especially for the French- Italian 
war relief concert given Sunday night at the Auditorium 
theatre by noted grand opera singers. Of the social war 
relief functions of the season this was the climax, with 
débutantes selling programs and prominent society folk 
all in attendance. Among the patronesses were Mrs. 
Russell Tyson, Mrs. James B. Waller, Mrs. Arthur 
‘Meeker and Mrs. R. T. ‘Crane, Jr., who has just returned 
from California. Added to the rather strenuous day of 
last Sunday was a lecture at the Blackstone in the after- 
noon on “A Woman’s View of the Front Line Trenches.” 
This was in charge of a committee for the French wound- 
ed fund having Mrs. Tyson vat the head. 
Chicago’s Allied bazaar is over. More picturesque 
in its setting and with its great cosmopolitan throngs 
gayer in tone was the general verdict of those who had 
visited the Allied bazaars in Boston, New York and Phil- 
adelphia. A bazaar story of interest to the North Shore 
deals with the characteristically generous act of R. T. 
Crane, Jr. The Cranes were in the west and as soon as 
he heard of the destruction of the Russian ship which was 
bringing $2,000 worth of articles to the Russian booth at 
the bazaar he telegraphed $2,000 to be put to the credit of 
the booth, so that the committee in charge should not have 
the burden of making up this sum, which had been ad- 
vanced by the bazaar and the goods were not insured. 
Mrs. Crane had already given $500 to this booth. The 
‘(Cranes arrived in Chicago a few days before the close of 
the bazaar,

Philadelphia society is at the height of its ‘‘at home” 
affairs. This year they are more elaborate than usual 
and many hostesses have a small receiving party for 
these weekly affairs. Débutantes and the season’s brides 
are asked to make up the informal receiving parties, and 
\f the latter none are more popular than Mrs. Harrison 
Koons Caner, Jr. (Uytendale Baird). In the list of at 
home days is noted among the hostesses Mrs. W. J. Baird 
and her daughter, Miss Corinne Borden Freeman of the 
Swampscott colony.
