The Chatter that Matters

by visiting Socialite, Elba Witheringrod


* The name around Chicago this Monday morning, like every Monday morning no matter where you venture to, is Fay Foley. Those of you who are unfamiliar with the social elite’s nightlife, Foley is unquestionably one of the most wealthy people in the area. She lives in the grandiose Foley – Hancroft Building’s penthouse floors. Her opulent parties, for which she became renowned while living abroad, have set the bar on what constitutes a “swell” party. Miss Foley takes great measures to provide her guests with an assortment of sweet teas. Neighbors of hers have confirmed that every Friday Foley has five crates of Red, Green, White, Oolong and Jasmine tea delivered from some foreign place and her “sweet” tea is the talk of Chicago.  For this particular party introducing Doctor KJ and his lovely fiancé to the polite society of Chicago she had her chefs design food into beautiful shapes and cooked with the most exquisite ingredients. And she brought a jazz band in from Harlem. Everyone is in agreement that Miss Fay Foley’s parties are and will be the highlight of Chicago’s social calendar. ~ Elba


* Dr. KJ. as he has come to be fondly called, and his lovely Fiancé, Xyza, are arranging a street fair as a thank you gift it is said to the City for the warm, supporting  welcome. What a thank you gift!  Look for the excitement in the streets this weekend.


*Anouk, our own SL Chicago Herald owner / editor is establishing a Book Club in the next couple of weeks… watch postings at the Bookstore to see the when and the where.  This is a group that you won’t want to miss joining.


*Chatter has that Chicago’s own Miss Bubbles will be opening her “business” shortly.  What exactly is her business though? And with whom does she do business?


* Our own, Dilah was so ill last weekend she couldn’t  even squeak but it is said that she has improved, though it was noted that this melodious singer, Miss Bubbles, and  Miss Foley did come glide into Club Fiume 30 minutes bed-fore closing, sipping sweet tea and giggling.  Nevertheless … Dilah will be singing like an angel this coming Saturday night at Club Fiume.


* MORE CHIT CHAT:

       - The mayor is hiring a secretary. Yea, you read it right, the mayor is hiring a   secretary? Does this mean he has work to do?
       - Needles new management, the Valentino Family, is moving in fast and hard.
