CHARLOTTE'S
NEWS LETTER

PoAbuAO SlAllSI given UI1S mlSS6S
Walker last week which has not been
mentioned and which is worthy of
note. In the first place, the table
was handsomely decorated with
white and yellow flowers of the sea-
son. Then the dinner itself was
much more elaborate than anyone
was given to understand. When it
came to the ice cream course the
guests were simply in raptures of
delight at the unique conception
presented. Each plate of cream re-
presented steam ship with three
tunnels. The lower part of the ship
that part supposed to be under
WATERWAYS made of pistachio ice
cream while the upper part was of
chocolate with strip of strawberry
red near the top, and on this in tiny
letters was the name of the ship,
"Grosser Kuerfurst. 1t was clever
conceit of the confectioner and sur
prised Miss Goliath as much as any
of the others at the table.
About three weeks hence quartet
OF summer tourists will leave Nor
ristown for the west, and for two
months thereafter will visit points of
interest west of the Mississippi River.
The members of this party are Mr..
George G. Kip, Miss Hopkins and MI.
Charles A. Kip. Their present tin
erary gives them the start from this
town on July s, and the first stopping
point as the Grand Canon of the
Colorado in Arizona. 1t is likely.
however, that as they cross the Father
OF Waters they will take glance at
the St. Louis and Topeka flood dis
tricts, with perhaps short stop in
Kansas City. From there they go
down the line of the Santa Fe to the
Needles, then over the Mojave desert
in Southern California Los Angeles,
Pasadena, San Diego and other coast
towns being visited before they go
north to San Francisco. This is the
fifth consecutive year that Mr.. Kip
has taken the western trip, he will,
| therefore, not go to Vancouver or
the Rossland mining country, but on
the way home may take in the Yellow
stone.
A delightful little euchre party of
four tables was given at the Golf
IClub Tuesday afternoon by Mrs.
Alexander Harvey Tiers in honor of
Mrs. M. S. Bromley, of New York
city. Seyen-hand euchre was played
all the afternoon and tea was served at
five. Among the twenty-eight guests
were: Mrs. Hamilton Mex. Twombly,
Mrs. Robert Dumont Foote, Mrs.
Gilbert Ramsey Potts, Mrs. Charles
W. Hardness, Mrs. Arthur Curtiss
James, Mrs. Abner w. Colgate, Mrs.
George G. Frelinghuysan, Mrs. Charles
Bradley, Mrs. John A. Stewart, Mrs.
Robert William Cumming and Mrs,
Duane.
Another place which is soon to be
closed for the summer is Garfield
House" on the Syndicate Road, the
palatial residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
John |. Waterbury and family. The
4 Waterways are now making active
preparations for their annual trip
abroad and will leave on Saturday
June Goth. Those in the party will
be Mr.. and Mrs. Waterbury, Miss
Waterbury, Miss Florence and
Miss Gladys Waterbury. Their first
stop abroad will be London, but after
a short stay in England they will
cross to the continent and tour the
European resorts, taking in the Kiel
yacht races and other fashionable
social events, but returning to America
in time for the cup races off Sandy
Hook. That is the programme as
mapped out at present, but it is
liable to more or less change, as the
Waterburys never make iron-clad ar
rangements and often do not follow
out their original intentions at all,
depending much on the whim of the
moment to guide them in their
journeys for pleasure.
Well, there is one thing absolutely
certain: Madame Grundy never had
anything to say with regard to Mr..
and Mrs. Stephen Whitney, of Den
yer, and the inference was that they
were living life Of joyous harmony.
Now that Mrs. Whitney has started
an action for divorce people are ask
ing each other what it is all about.
Mr.. Whitney is the son of Mrs. Ste
phen Whitney of "Fair Lawn, -
Morris Plains. He was born and
brought up there and is a Morristown
boy whom everyone knows and holds
in high esteem. He has always idol
lied his wife who was Miss Louise
Bell, daughter of Mr.. Louis V. Bell,
the New York millionaire. Mr.. Bell
did not give his consent to their
marriage and never since has he
spoken to his daughter or recognized
her existence, though she is his only
child, and her mother is now dead, so
that Mr. Bell is alone in the world.
Since their marriage Mr.. and Mrs.
Whitney have made their home in
Denver, making trips to Morristown
nearly every summer. They have
always appeared like a happy, con-
tented couple and during the past
year seemed more loving and affec-
tionate than ever before. But some
thing has occurred. Just what it is
even Mr. Whitney does not know and
will probably not find out until he
meets his wife in court in Denver in
the near future. The separation
came at Santa Barbara, Cal, less
than month ago. They had gone
there for few weeks before the
warm weather of summer. One day
Mrs. Whitney entered the house and
said that she had resolved not to live
with Mr.. Whitney any longer and
