CuppIes Pierce and Miss Elizabeth Plum
mer, whose engagement l announced a fort
night ago, while the atflanced ones We're at
Newport. BY the by, 1t is now considered
au fait in the East to abridge the time be-
tween the announcement of the engagement
and the wedding as much as possible; and 4
month is deemed the proper period, not
more. The Pierce-Plrmrior wedding will
take place in New York, where the brides
mother, Mrs. William Henry Plummer,
lives. and will be a 4 o'clock afternoon GER
emory at st. Matthews Church.
FROM CharlevoiX comes the intelligence
OF another engagement-that of Miss Louise
Chamberlin, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Ed
ward c. Chamberlin, of No. 3l19 Lucas ave
nue.. st. Louis. to Mr.. Charles ]. Warren
OF San Pedro Sula, Honduras, a son of the
Reverend William Warren of Lansing,
Mich. who will perform the ceremony Of
September % at the summer home of the
Chamberlins. The bridal trip will be an ex-
tensive one through both the East and the
West. after which Mr.. Warren and his
Northern bride will go to their far-away
home in Central America.
Mrs. D. H. Woods and her two daughters.
caroline and Adelaide. who are summering
on the Maine coast, have just been off on
| the Buffers yacht, Duquesne, for a five
days cruise with Colonel and Mrs. Butler.
They visited many OF the well-known places
along the coast-Bar Harbor. Bangor, Deer
I SAhho aIio sOLut u the 1eIODSCOt bay
towns, and then came back to Rockland
Breakers. where Mrs. Woods gave a hand
some dinner the last night of the Buffers
stay. Colonel Butler has this summer be-
come a member of the Larchmont Yacht
| Club, and now belongs to two. the New
york Yacht Club being the other.
Here are two new salads to try when
you positively can't think of another thing
to eat. II your late roses are still in bloom
| take a small cupful of the freshest petals
you can get, look them over carefully to
free from the small but unpleasant bug and
worm. and then put them in a haIf-pint of
cream and work about with your wooden
| chafng-dish spoon to bruise them. When
the cream is well scented, strain out the
| petals. heap some freshly sliced peaches
| on a dish. sprinkled with sugar. and over
which a glass of sherry or any white wine
has been poured. Over all pour the rose
scented cream and put Immediately in the
ice chest, directly on top of a block of
Ice. until needed. In strawberry time this
fruit may be used instead of the Heeches. .
| Bananas make another delicious salad IL
| they are a favorite fruit in the family.
|! Peel six bananas. slice them the long way
and then divide each piece again. making
| strips about three inches in length. Peel
two oranges. carefully removing all the
white pith, and then slice into a glass
| bowl with the bananas, taking out seeds
as you slice. Add a squeeze of lemon juice,
| a large teaspoonful of curacao, a dust of
| powdered sugar. or more than a dust IL
the oranges happen to be rather tart, and,
| IL liked. a tablespoonful of brandy. Then
| put them in the ice chest for an hour,
turning the fruit once or twice during that
time
4 Why the flower hats have not had a
| greater vogue in st. Louis this summer /
| do not know, for they are certainly more
| than pretty and universally becoming, If
| one finds a flower that suits In color. The
| only one that / have seen at all is that
which Mrs. Gouvernour Calhoun wears-a
small affair. made Of royal blue bachelor
buttons.
| Weddings trips. SO the Eastern fashion
potentates declare. are quite passe. The
smart set goes no more on honeymoon
jauntc. but resumes the customary round
Of social pleasure and takes up life the
day after the ceremony, exactly as IL the
bridal pair were still two instead of one.
, Peter Martin and Lily Oelrichs came back
to Newport after their big show wedding,
and Immediately gathered together a lin
ner party. Robert Collier and Sara Van
Allen embarked on a yacht, stayed two
days. weighed anchor at Narragansett, an
ncunced that the wedding journey was at
an end. and are established with the senior
Golfers at the Pier.
