NANCY WYNNE CHATS ABOUT THE
ANNUAL SILVER BAY CONFERENCE
Ten-Day Affair Is of Remarkable Interest to Those Who
Attend These Meetings-Many Philadephians Pres
ent This Year-Returned Yesterday

FTNHE annual Mission Class Study Con.
u ference, which is held at Silver Bay, on
Lake George, N. Y, every July, has
finished, and its attendants have returned
even more enthusiastic than in other
years. In the first place, Silver Bay is
one of the most ideal spots in upper New
York, and the swimming and tennis play
Ing are great attractions OF course, the
mornings were given over to the various
classes, and the lectures were so interest,".
ing that very many wished there might
have been some in the afternoon as well.
Among the girls who attended the confer
ence this year were Elise and Eleanor
Hopkins, Gertrude Ely. who goes nearly
every year. and the two Hensel girls,
Edwina and Alberta, whose engagement
TO Joe Pew, Jr. Is announced today DR..
Wharton Smith, who is Edwina's fiance,
was also UP there, as we'll as Marion
Toulmin, Winifred Clarke and her
cousins, Agnes and Louise Clarke, who
> instead of returning home here have
gone on to Lenox, Mass, to visit the
Thomas Shields Clarkes, Of New York.
The latest excitement at Jenox has
been the cause of much conversation
over the teaeups. Just as the bathers
, were about to take a swim in Lake
Mahkeenac on Wednesday, who should
appear in company with his fond owner
but Prince Chin Chin-in other words the
pet monkey of Miss Beatrice Bishop, who
was desrous of disporting himself In the
waves. The beach was crowded with
bathers at the time; and, passing strange
though 1t may seem, not one of them was
anxious to go into the water at the same
time as the Prince. Furthermore, no one
was willing to forego his or her bath, so
you will grant something had to be done
and done quick for the Prince did not
need as much time as the other bathers
TO divest himself of apparel and don
bathing suit.
Lenox decided It would stand for mo
monkeyshines," so to speak, and just at
the critical moment the club steward,
who always has to do the unpleasant
wori-doesn't he?--approached Miss
Bishop and gently-but firmly, let me tell
you-remarked that it could not be did.
SO a sadder but wiser monkey and owner
returned to the house, where Prince Chin
Chin took his bath in the solitary
grandeur of a tub.
One of the interesting affairs to be
held at Newport next month will be the
Garden Fete, which is to be given under
the auspices OF the Newport Art Associa'
ton, on Thursday afternoon, August 3, at
the Griswold Mansion. platform Will
be erected on the lawn and cycle or
classic dances will be given by number
of prominent girls. Later In the AFTER
noon there is to be general dancing in
the open air and in the salons of the
mansion.
At Narragansett tennis Is still the
rage, and every day sees the lawns of the
Point Judith Clubhouse crowded with in
terested spectators. Mr.. and Mrs. John
r. Fell, Mrs. Aleck Brown and Phil Ran
dolph, Jr., lunched together at the Casino
on Thursday.
Kitty Penn Smith. in her riding togs
or sports clothes, Is constantly on the
sward. I wonder why Kitty has not
taken to the racquet as she has to rid
ing. Somehow you cannot think of Kitty
save on a horse. remember the first
time I saw her in conventional evening
dress did not recognize her at all
Kitty's a good sport, all right, and
mighty popular. NANCY WfNNE'
