NANCY WYNJNE CHATS ABOUT MANY
MATTERS OF SOCIAL IMPORT
Rain Caused CONSERVATION at the Horse Show Yesterday
Various Happenings Are of
General Interest

WELL. my dears, you should have seen
w usi Suddenly the clouds opened and
the rain came down In buckets, in pitch
srs. in pals, in cloudbursts and we ran
like mad 70 the covered stand. and those
Of us who had raincoats put them on
and covered down under the awnings,
while the poor horses and their judges
shivered out there in the ring. OF course,
when IL really poured the classes had to
stop for a while, but, then, we gossiped
and chatted and had a great time. Incl
dentally. you know this all happened out
st the Horse Show yesterday. Every time
I see Hope Montgomery 1 want TO smile
and feel happy. l never saw such dear
little person for spreading loveliness
about her. She is SO piquant and pretty,
and did you ever see n woman wear her
clothes more beautifully, and equally
have you often seen a woman VINO
dresses so exquisitely? Certainly she was
lovely yesterday In a satin-hnished crepe
de chine gown made with very full
skirt and with a cord drawn about
the waist. The bodice was just tiny
Bit open at the neck and was finished with
a wide fat collar Of seal fur. and under
the two points Of fur was bit Of hand
embroidery. She wore one of the new
tam models of black velvet She has
that elusive, wonderful quality in woman
called charm, to perfection, and / must
say the opinion have Of her is shared
by all who know her.
Every day girls grow bolder, don't
they7 Now know. and so do you, that
they smoke very often at home and in
cafes and hotels, but, somehow, 1t has
not quite yet seemed the thing to walk
gayly round the oval at the Horse Show
tagged in on either side by man, smok-
ing a cigarette, while one discusses the
merits of the various classes in the ring.
But, my dears, 1 saw 1t with my own
eyes, and the girl who did 1t is very
pretty and has such a soft. young ex'
preston wonder If she realizes that
her hair and the light from her pretty
eyes IL she keeps 1t up at the rate she
is going now.
Well, the world and his wife arose this
morning Ut SOU anu y VI Ahs anu mas
tened out over hill and dale to the beagle
field trials at the Bryn Mawr show, and
II we did not have appetites for that
breakfast at the William Struthers
Ellises afterward 1 assure you it was not
their fault, for the tables fairly groaned
with good things, and 1t was great fun,
you know, so sort of unique and different
from the ordinary entertainment; one
often has danced all night and then
eaten breakfast before going to bed, but
TO rise at 4:3O and go to an affair at
sunrise and then before continuing the
day to stop for big formal breakfast
and be entertained at that delightful
meal at a. m. is bit new, to say the
least. OF course, the purely Hunt Club
contingents were used to it, but the rest
of us found 1t novel and enjoyed it ac-
cordingly. NANCY WYNNE.
