- do believe | could beat you
around the golf course this afternoon.
This is a rather busy sort of day for so
late in the season. First of all, Mrs. Will
liam Bailey Lamar had forty-four folks to
luncheon at Rauscher's Mrs. Garrison and
Mrs. Daniels were the honor guests, and,
like all Of her parties it was most enjoy
able affair. The guests were all seated
around large oval table which had great
big French basket filled with pink snap
dragons and roses and finished with the
smartest looking bow of wide pink satin
ribbon.
Then, of course, the wedding of Rather
inc Jennings and Chauncey Hackett at noon,
was of great interest. 1t was home affair
and only the most intimates of the families
invited. Katherine must have made glori-
Gus looking bride. Sne is pretty.
The dinner parties that are being given
at the various clubs about town tonight are
legion And, of course, they all stay for the
dancing

The annual aIumnae luncheon of Gunston
Hall took place today at O'Clock in the
@chool gymnasium. This luncheon is at
tended by all the resident alumnae and
great many who come or for the final week
at Gunston Hall from their homes in other
parts of the country.
There is no use talking, Susan. just
must find myself farmer and marry him.
I've got 10 live in the country. After talk
ing with Mrs. Claude A. Swanson the other
day made up my mind TO that all rightie.
You know the Swanson place, Eldon Hall,
down there in Virginia, is one of the most
beautiful places in the Old Dominion, and
wish you could know of the mducement she
offered.
Her foreman and his family have an
cIght-room cottage, with electric lights run
ming water white porcelain tub too), to
say nothing of the privilege of raising all
the chickens and other live stock, garden,
etc, they care about Then there is all the
fruit and berries one wants and salary to
boot. Who wants more tlan that?
Possibly if one would not be so ambitious
and insist upon marrying the foreman, they
might set their cap for one of the 'hands,"
for they get a cottage, possibly not quite so
portentious, but with the light and water
and all he other good things. The chance
TO live in the country, however, would be al
most enough.
Anyway, ] think I'll hire out for the sum-
mcr as governess or second maid.
BY the way, Susan, in my, rambling |
most forgot to tell you the real news about
the Swansons. They have a brand new
Cadillac car. Mrs. Swanson got it over in
Philadelphia last week, and, accompanied by
that beautiful Virginia Gordon, of New York.
she drove down here in it. Miss Gordon
stayed a day or two and has now returned
to her home.
My dear Susan, you will be surprised when
| tell you that pretty little Evelyn Lesher
and Ensign William N Richardson. ir.. are
