BY THE SOCIETY REPORTER
'ust Few chronlcIngs of the Doinos of Our Very Best People,
 Don't You Know.


 MT and Mrs. Plundar Pyle have sold .nclr residence on Fifth avenue just oeioW the park. That part of the city mas become too commercial for our very pest people. Mrs. Plundar Pyle. as everybody knows, was one of the Baltimore Eatondrynks.
 Trust Hollow, N. Y.-Miss Pussie noiias, daughter of Mir. and Mrs. End. iiss Dollas, and MT. F. Baddicks Ample were married in the Church of the Sacred Tariff at Trust Hollow. The prlde, who was given in marriage bv her father, wore an empire gown of "hite chiffon and silk trimmed with princess lace. Her bouquet of bridal roses was festooned with clusters of paving stone diamonds and hazel nut ruDles. Miss Gaudie Simmer was the maid of honor, and wore a gown or pale blue marquisette trimmed with United States bonds. MT. Robert Soidengraft, brotherin-law of the bridegroom, was the best man.
 MT and Mrs. Gottitto Byrne are visiting the Willie Weeritts. Mrs. Weeritt, as everybody knows-that is, everybody who is anybody-is a daugh ter of the Hon. I. Amitt. The Amitts nave always been fashionable.
 Miss Ellie Gabber gave a theater party last Wednesday.
 Those who assert that MT. and Mrs. Stylor Nothyn oppose the marriage of their daughter to MT. Orval Manners are simply misinformed. Mrs. Stylor Nothyn-who is one of the Boston Snubbsrs-has always favored the match. They are related in a way, as OryaPs mother was a Snubber, and all the Snubbers are connections of the o. Helwyth Manners.
 MT. J. Dodge-Wurke has a new Mer- eedes. This makes his thirteenth mo ter car. Between him and Eppyderm Hyde there is quite a rivalry as to speed. T. Braynliss Pupp is close third.
 Mrs. John Bullion never sings at breakfast. In fact, she never sings at all.

EVER HAVE LIBRARY FRIGHL7
Awful Feeling That Sometimes At- tacks People Asking for Books
 in a Strange Place.

Library fright IS an awful feeling" said the librarian Tt attacks people who go into a strange library to look around or rest for a few minutes and are told that in order to enjoy the hospitality of the reading room they will have to ask for a book and make at least a pretense of reading.
 q have had library fright twice my. self. My first attack was in the Con gressional library in Washington. wanted to read there for few min utes, just to be able to say afterward that had read there. Used as l was to handling books. I couldn't think of even the dictionary when it came to making a choice. After a few minutes of hopeless laundering 'Taine's His tory of English Literature cane into my mind had no desire on earth to look at Taine's English literature then or at any other time, but I give you my word couldn't think of any other book to save my life
 Another time in a library right here in town I was stricken with a similar panic and after stumbling through the catalogue in dazed sort of way l asked for David Copperfleld' -Copperfeld, mind you. that I had read forty-eleven times and know by heart A person who has never ex- perienced library fright cannot imag inc how foolish and helpless the sui fcrer feels. ."-Exchange

 Sunday afternoon, however, cannot be changed to any other afternoon The raln will hold off until you arg ready to go driving. and then the word will be passed along the mysterious currents of the air, and a double or der of cirrus and cumulus will be bur Tied in from the west.
 Also, in the morning. when yoD leave home and carry yoar umbrella and raincoat, the rain will go away and sulk. But, if you take heart of tho fair sky, and leave the umbrella and other trimmings, then the rain will wait until you leaye tho office and then get you. Incidentally, 1t will tuck a few grip ard rheumatism germs into your system.
 Rain is good for the crops. but why 1t takes you for a crop Is hard to un. derstand
