her to the Culp summer place, in Canada,
for the season. Of course, Mr.. Cup will
spend as much time as he can with his
family, but these business men just can't
spare much time at time.
Oh, dear me, yes. The morning dance"
has reached this country. We had it years
ago. only we did not know it. When we
used to simmer at Sheffield Poto-
mac we danced many and many morning
for something better to do, and guess that
is about the same reason for the morning
dances along the coast resorts. see that
Mrs. William Barbour gave the first of a
series at her country home, in Rumson
road, Seabright, N. j., this week and that
Newport and all the other places along the
North Shore favor them.
Mrs. Charles G. Dulin is having the sort
of trip / like. She and Beatrice and Bert
motored to Atlantic City. They stayed there
until they got tired and then went up to
New York for a while, and now they are in
the neighborhood of Boston.

Letters from Mabel Smith and Doris Holt
from Rye North Beach were in my mail this
week, and, Susan, how would like to be UP
there. NAB tells of going up to Joe's for
luncheon and then out to the Country Club
for tennis, then tea at the White Cat, and
then in the evening ride down to Hampton,
and it all makes me long to be there, too.
Yet there is another side of the story like
to be here. She says that it is so cold up
there that serge dresses and sport coats and
white felt hats are necessary as we'll as the
fad.
Doris and Marge Holt are only going to
be at the beach during this month, then they

ting there again. Indeed, Susan, my plans
were more or less exploded month ago and
! do not know just what turn they will take
before fall. Some time next month will 90
up in Maryland to visit Mrs. Griffith for a
little while. don't know. 1t is so cool
and comfy here and there is plenty to do As
it is I'm going to ask the President to have
more days put on the calendar.
Oh, dear, l most forgot to tell you Char
lie Robertson has new car, one just like
Sids. Of course, he is burning up gallons
of gas between Boston and Tower Cottage.
Ruth is having great time visiting on
the U. S. S. Richmond, at Norfolk. was
chatting with her mother the other day, and
| asked for Ruth's address and said | was
writing to her. She said TO please give her
several messages for her. Seems as if she
was home alone and was short of stamps
and, anyway, had no one there to mail the
letter, and as was sending mine right out
it would do. | wrote my letter and told Ruth
everything from the fact that had got more
black grease from the street car tracks on
my white heels to the fact that | was not
particularly interested in the latest murder
trial, but forgot to mention that she even
had mother. | woke up in the night and
remembered it, so the first thing did that
morning was to send another letter.
Mrs. Boriand and the two children got
off Thursday morning for some lake out in
Minnesota. Mrs. Borland told me the name,
but cannot spell it. 1t is some place that
is very popular with Kansas City folks, so
you know she will have good time. This
is the first time Mrs. Borland has deserted
Congressman Borland in the summer time,
but the children's health demanded change
this time. If Congress should happen to ad-
journ anytime before winter, Mr.. Borland
will join his family out there, and then they
will 60 down to their home in Kansas City
for stay.
I'll bet the Congressional folks are sorry
Mrs. Borland is going for she always helped
to keep things going in the summer. I'm
sorry, for | will miss her.
One day this week had delightful chat
with Mrs. Harry Smith Berry, who, with her
adorable little Katherine, is making her
usual summer visit to her parents, the W. S.
Knoxes.
