that, believe Is when the courtship began.
Halle left yesterday to spend the rest of
the summer with friends at Monterey, Pa.
wondered for long time why, it was she
did not 20 camping with her sisters and their
gay party, but now rather think / guess the
reason, don't you?
DR.. Jenkins is now stationed at Port
Royal, S. c., and it is there that they will
probably make their home.
In looking over magazine the other day
containing picture of wedding party, |
was much amused at the various remarks
made by one or two who we're on the porch
at the time. As usual, the picture made the
party, which, doubtless, was made up Of
good looking folks, look like Sam Hill. The
bride looked wild eyed, the bridegroom sad,
and the maids like they had wrapped their
heads up for the daily dusting. Billy said he
knew that the bride had resolved, when she
made up that party, that no good lockers
were TO get in on it, and Uncle Jud thought
the hats looked like fried eggs and Ruth in
sisted that the girls probably had beautiful
hearts and fine disposihs2s.
One day late this week was rushing
down street and I ran across Lillian
Menaugh looking too attractive for words.
Lillian was trying to get to the hairdressers
at 2 o'clock and it was then. Of course,
we stopped just to say word and when
got to the next corner where was to meet
Lena it was half after Lillian tells me that
she is leaving town Wednesday for series
Of visits up North and then she is going to
New York to study. ! am quite sure she will
eventually go on the stage, where know
she would be real success.
was chatting with Mrs. Robert L. Owen
over the phone yesterday and she told me
that the Senator is back from his visit in
England and is feeling wonderfully well.
She is leaving tr.p tie middle Of the COM
ing week for Magnolia, where Dorothea will
join her soon. Dorothea is now visiting at
Lake Placid. Did ! tell you that she has
almost made up her mind to make her debut
this coming season? From the present out
look, Washington will have very interest
ing group for most of the gir,s l know of,
who are coming out, are either just gradual
ed from college or back from travels abroad.
Dorothea was graduated from the Finch
School in Kew York this spring.
| was busy consuming soda at my fav-
orite place, which you so well know, the
other day, when met Mrs. Collins, Mrs.
Percy Pages mother. She told me that Nell
and Mrs. Wallace Whitaker were visiting
down near the mouth of the river somewhere
for several weeks.
George Langdon Whitford's have been tax
ing some delightful trips this summer in
their lovely new car.
The Vice President and Mrs. Marshall
decided upon White touring car after all.
The car came Wednesday, I>believe, and it
is dandy, with seven seats and all sorts of
accomplishments" All summer they have
been trying out various makes and at the last
their choice lay between Peerless and
White and the White won, Staying in Wash
ington all summer isn't so bad when one can
be out - doors in car like that
Wednesday night they went down to
White Sulphur to stay until Monday with
Mr.. Keim,. of Philadelphia. They went in
the private car of the host and know they
will have wonderful visit. Senator and
Mrs. Swanson were also of the party which
included number of others.
These stories about Mr. President make
me think of one Steve told me ages ago,
and which possibly you have not heard.
Seems as if the President was returning
to the White House from the Country Club
and little boy playing in the street jumped
out in front of the car, and made a face at
the President The President turned to the
Secret Service man sitting beside him, and
asked him if he saw what that boy did. The
man said he was looking at him.
The President said that the child had
made face at him and an ugly one it was,
too. His companion asked him what he
was poinp TO do about II and the President
