extremely good-loolxing girl. with clear

< / wonder IL the coming Of the Hippo
drome, with its wonderful skating scene,
will start the ice-skating craze in Phila-
: delphia, as IL is supposed 10 have in New
York last season? Last year in that me-
fropolis It was the thing to go to the
BiItmore and several of the hotels which
ran ice-skating rinks on the roofs every
afternoon, wearing most fetching skat-
let me tell you, for, Of course. there was
corps Of teachers. and each girl had to
learn how. and then there was tea to
drink and sandwiches to eat-so, alto
sether, It was very exciting.
The wee bird told me a little while ago
that there was some idea of starting up
an ics-skating rink here where one could
give parties and have an altogether gay
time. do not know IL the idea has gone
up or If the perpetrators thereof have de.
cided that the crucial moment for an.
4nouncing said project has not yet come.
Somehow, I think 1t would be great fun.
don't you, If they start 1t up? Little clubs
parties might be held through the win.
ter. really quite hope II the skating
craze comes It will come to stay. 1t is
such good, healthy exercise.
Kathlyne Shattuck and her fiance, Cole
man Sellers, are having a busy time be-
fore their wedding, which is to take place
next week. 1t seems to me as IL it was
Just one continual round of eating and
dancing. Sometimes / wonder that the
poor little brides and bridegrooms don't
have a nervous breakdown after the wed
dlng-they must be so utterly exhausted
with the continual gayety which precedes,
the day OF the ceremony. Tonight Sue
Cotton will give a dinner for the bridal
party. Of which she is a member, at her
home in Bryn Mawr. And tomorrow
night there will be dinner dance for the
members OF the bridal party and addi-
tional guests. given by Miss Abbie Aus
lin, another bridesmaid, and Mr.. James
Austin, at their home in Croydon. Kath-
lyme herself will entertain her brides
maids at lunch on Saturday.

markable TO have n sort OF continual
christmas for about four weeks, for that
Is usually the time before the wedding
during which the gifts begin to come;
which reminds me OF the pithy saying OF
an older woman, who has sent many a
wedding present during her lifetime. She
4 was heard to remark the other day:
We'll. Of course, ! like 10 give and most
people like TO receive wedding present
themselves for every one they have given;
now do not intend to marry. so there's

my sending out cards when I reach the

nifty years, with the neat reminder that
