Do You Envy Miss BURR

The heroine OF the Rockaway hunt
clubs annual gymkhana was Miss
Rosamond Burr, daughter of Win
throp Burr, the wealthy president OF
the fashionable Long Island sporting
organization.
Miss Burr threaded a needle in 13
seconds, thus enabling her partner. j.
Cheever Cowdin, to win the gymll-
hama, as the clubs fantastic horse
back games are called-a name i'm
ported from India.
In the thread-and.needle race the
young men mount their horses on the
starting line at one end of the field.
At the other end the young women
partners stand in waiting row. Each
rider carries a needle and thread TO
his partner and the first rider 10
bring a threaded needle back TO the
starting line wins.
Miss Burr did not finch in the
thunder of advancing hoofs. Her
agile fingers threaded the needle in IL
seconds, and her partner, j. Cheever
Cowdin, won the race and the gymk-
hama.
The remarkable feature was the
fact that Miss Burr, who is just nine
teen years old, had never threaded a
needle before.
81 cannot explain how | did ii so
quickly" cried the flushed and exc!t-
ed girl. 81 have never found time to
learn sewing. | am occupied In so
many other things that must be ex-
cused this art"
We wonder IL the women readers OF
The Times will envy the rich Miss
Burr, who, at the age OF nineteen,
has never had to mend the torn
flounce of a petticoat, or darn hole
in her stocking, or has never learned
to thread a needle. She has had no
cares, nothing to keep her from polo,
yachting and riding to hounds.
Some women probably will envy
her. Unfortunate creatures who must
toll as seamstresses long hours for
q pittance may envy her. The pallid
drudges of the sweatshops may un-
bend their aching backs and rest their
straining eyes for a moment and
wish In desperation that, like Miss
Burr, they had never seen a needle
to thread one.
But those women to whom the
needle, pinned in the dress bosom,
IL the shining badge of home and
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. We feel they
won't envy the fortunate Miss Burr
her ignorance of the homely art OF
sewing.
Any girl who has sent gifts OF her
own needlework will not envy Miss
Burr, because in each of such gifts Is
something OF the giver.

Good gracious! A button off his waist

the needle flies in and out In regular
diminishing pulls. The youngster

full of hair as his mother bends down
to bite OF the thread. Next instant
he Is gone.
Any woman who has done that. who
has felt on her lips the moist (and
hurried) boyish kiss of thanks, has
seen the feet fly down the hall, heard
the front door bang and then-the
silence-any such woman will not
envy Miss Burr
