The Washington times., 1914-06-14

pdlV, WIFI Japanese lanterns, HOWeT-QeCkeu
tables and all the usual charming accessories
to garden parties. And instead of dancing
rather run into the ground the rest of the
week-they had famous darkey quartet, to
amuSe the guests.
Harken TO the tale of a pump and
pup-in fact, several pups. Pretty little
Wallis Warheld, of Baltimore-you know
she is a niece of Mrs. Buck Meryman-
lost little brown pump from an automobile
between Baltimore and the Ruxton Club not
very long ago. Another pair of pumps in
the tonneau saved her from the necessity
of trying to make bare feet fashionable, but
not finding the remaining one of much use
without its mate, she phoned to a newspaper
and inserted an advertisement. 1t appeared
next day, but read: Lost, one brown pup.
Return to Miss Warfeld, at Earlcourt and
receive reward" Tab1eau Behold every
unclaimed brown pup in Baltimore and many
who had been brown pups in the remote
past dragged kicking and squealing to Miss
Warfeld's home, while she and her mother,
Mrs. Rasin protested violently they had
lost no pup, desired no pup and had no pos
slble place to keep a pup-brown or any
other color. After many tribulations the
advertisement was correctly inserted and the
slipper retrieved, but next time "I'Il write
it," says Miss Warfeld
I'll declare, Susan, the various drug
stores up town are getting to be more like
pink teas than places, of business. No mat
ter what time you drop into any Of these
soda water emporiuns, for that is about all
they amount to as far as the young folks
are concerned, you meet some one you
know. In the evenings they are just packed
and jamned and everyone knows everyone
else. There is one place in Connecticut
avenue where folks 60 from all ends of town
and after spending little time there you
could tell just who had such and such a
beau that night.
Some one | know from New York was
telling me the other day that Carol Robert
son, TO whom Margaret Briton is engaged,
has loads of money. He inherited large
fortune and was far-sighted, fortunate or
whatever you might call it, enough to invest
largely in the movies, so you know the rest
He is rather fine looking chap and can
dance like dream. Margaret is on Long
Island now for the polo.
One of the most romantic weddings |
know of is going to take place Monday even
ing, when little Agnes Gaskins and Bagar
Smith will be married. You know, Agnes
and Mr. Smith have been engaged for quite
a while, but, to please her father, Agnes de-
cided to put off the wedding until after her
graduation from the Business High School,
She will be graduated Monday evening" and
following the wedding will take
place at her home. 1t will be quiet, and af-
terward they will leave for Atlantic City to
spend the summer. AS well as being one Of
the prettiest girls in the class, Agnes is one
of the youngest
| heard an amusing little story about a
very attractive little woman the other day,
newcomer TO Washington, who is being ex-
tensively feted. 1t seems the lady lives at
a distance from the center of things social
and consequently has spent about half her
time in her automobile fastening from party
to party. The other day she arrived breath
less at luncheon and greeted her hostess
with We'll, my dear, this is the third time
this week I've dressed in the machine, in
Massachusetts, avenue, with only luck and
dark curtains to save me from arrest"
Helen Humphreys wedding to Percy
-awton Harley. of Boston and Redlands, Cal,
takes place Wednesday at noon in old ST.
Johns Episcopal Church. followed by
breakfast at the home of Maj. Gen and Mrs.
Charles F. Humphrey, in Leroy place.
Mr.. Harley arrived in town early in the
week, and there have been no end of dinners,
uncheons, teas, and things, all more or less
Informal on account of the warm weather
I'm glad | took your advice, Susan, and
oaid visit to the Success, me old British
convict ship. 1t was more than interesting,
wen if ii did make you quake at times.
