The Walter Lippincotts have returned
10 Ascot. their home in Bryn Mawr,
after having spent most of the summer
ruisIng in their yacht Lady Betty. Their
daughter, Mrs. Stricken Coles. and her
family occupied the Lippincotts James,
town home and decided at first TO stay
there until toward the end of this month
on account OF the paralysis scare, while
Mr.. and Mrs. Lippincott anchored in the
harbor; but the Coles's little five-year-old
son was taken down with appendicitis
and had to be taken over to Newport to
he hospital, where he underwent an
operation. I'm glad to be able to say
he has quite recovered and the whole
family has returned home, but, like most
people on the Main Line, they are keep
ing q strict quarantine from other chill
dren for fear of the epidemic.
Speaking OF infantile paralysis reminds
me Of story heard recently of a small
girl Of three or more, who had heard her
fond parents discuss paralysis in all its
various forms and symptoms and who
had. indeed. suffered from the effects of
their 'parently" solicitude to a trying de.
gree. according to her young thoughts.
Mother" said this small person, appear

Of her favorite doll by one foot, this
child has got infantile paralythith. I've
spwayed her throat and done everything,
but she has a fever, and gueth we1l
have to send for the doctor"
Z The Pi Sigma Fraternity is about to
give a fair on Wednesday afternoon. De-
cember s, in the ballroom of the Ritz
Carlton for the benefit of the Children's
Seashore House and st. Christopher's
Hospital. The first idea in regard to this
fsir was to hold IL out of doors, and the
Samuel Vauclains. OF Rosemont had sig
nihed their willingness to have their beau
tiful grounds used for the purpose, but
owing to the fact that so many persons
have delayed returning to town it was
thought best to delay the fair and hold 1t
IN winter, when every one will have come
back
