missed her and little Virginia, and will

Silver Springs is a lovely place for
an evening supper party. With the
breeze off the water, it is cooler than
it can be in town, and on dark highs

a dainty little supper party at the
springs last night. Her guests were
Misses Beulah Hall and Mamie Gross,
DIR. Van Hood and one unusually
lucky newspaper man.
