vv,th Miss Elise Hopkins. Dogs are very
,nplsh at times you know, especially IL
.hev see a stylish doll. Have you ever
roslced how bristly plain.haired dogs get
when they see dogs with ruffles in their
hair? only the other day 1 saw wee
daehshund get very indignant Just at the
.,ght of the Hlne Johnsons' fluffy
pomeranian, which is stylish beyond
words. but then the dach is stylish in her
way, too, only she goes in for the sports
coatumes, while Miss Pom is a Fluffy
Ruffes.
But all this is neither here nor there
when It comes to the great large and big
Show for dolls and dogs and ponies Such
prizes as are to be given; for the best
dog of any breed, for the best one shown
by girl and the best one shown by
how. Then Gertrude Heckscher is offer
ing a prize for the largest entry Eleanor
Baker will give cup for the largest dog
IN the show, and Edith Baily for the
weenest, while, bless my soul, Julia
Lewis offers one for the most venerable
no II will be perfectly all right to take
the gray.haired ones with whiskers and
long boards In fact, they really should
come, for it is very nice when one Is
ancient to find there is still chance to
win out especially through that very
quality. And, If YOU please, Main Line
dogs are to compete for a special prize
and those not on the Main Line for
another Really 1t is most exciting. and 1
hope 1t will be clear for it would be
great strain to have to wait until the
next day.
Isn't it too bad about Gertrude Tower
and Tom Dougherty. / saw them out
at the Country Club that night just be.
fore they started home. and 1t was such
fun out there. There were so many peo-
pie, and the dancing was great. 1 hear
that number of Gertrude's teeth were
knocked out and her collarbone is broken,
and poor Tom is very badly hurt also, No
4one seems to be sure just how 1t hap
pened, and that would not help any,
would it? Every one feels very much
4 for Mr.. and Mrs. Tower. They are so
devoted to their daughters. The last
news says that both young people will
recover 1 hope they will not have the
terribly long experience of poor little
Catherine Cassard, who is still in the
hospital from the burns received the
night of the Bal Masque March 7. when
abe was dining out and the spark of a
match caught fire to her dress. Yes, she
is still in the hospital and suffers like
little Spartan. 1 am told she is not yet
able to read even for any length of time
1t is almost impossible to conceive how
some members of that dinner party ac-
tually attended the ball after that fright
ful experience. The only explanation of
that sort of thing is that many persons
in the stress of excitement do seemingly
heartless things, and it is just possible
that no one realized the extent of the
injuries that night.
The Junior Leaguers had a great time |
last week at their various meetings dur
ing the convention, and girls came from |
all over the States and Canada, Barbara |
Boston was delegate from New York, |
and was stopping with Margaret Yardley. |
She is very attractive girl, and lives
in Orange. A funny story is told of one |
of the meetings, when each girl had to |
stand up and give her name and say |
from where she came. When 1t came to |
our little friends turn she rose and said, |
Barbara Boston, that's my name, not |
where I come from; I live in Orange"
