club by the directors of the Bryn Mawr
Horse show Association In honor Of the
visiting masters OF foxhounds and
Judges at the show. and, by the way,
talking Of, masters OF hounds, Just wish
YOU could cast your eyes on Ben Chew,
who has that position at the Radnor
club. He mayebe seen at any time of
the day. or night, I was about to say,
training his hounds for the show and
their autumn work. He keeps strictly
20 the roads, however. It's really won.
aerful how our hunters consider the
farmers these days. 1t pays, however,
and the farmers enjoy the shows now

To my mind, this will be some party,
and seems to me 'twould almost have
been better to have that FRIDAY din
ner) on Saturday night" as Al Jolson
would say.
Well, speaking of Al Jolson, some peo-
pie don't care what they do, do they?
But It seems to me to tie a ten-dollar
bill on the worsted that a chorus girl
throws out from the stage and rolls back
in a ball is going some, and that IS
identically what the companion OF the
son of a prominent dentist in this city
did at one Of the performances Of Rob
inson Crusoe, Jr.," lately as he and the
dentists son sat together in a box To
say there was some excitement! Jolson
came out many times after and kept
throwing worsted out and saying. Some
one told me that one of the girls got
bill tied on her worsted tonight" and
he looked about longingly till the audi
ence nearly choked.
A debutante the date Of whose tea has
not vet been announced Is Anne Weight
man Meirs, the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Richard VAIN Meirs and great-grand-
daughter of the late Mr.. William Weight
man, about whose will there was so
much excitement in. the weightman and
wister family these eight or ten years
ago.
Anne is very charming and has an ex-
ceptionally fine mind, but also large
stock of small talk, SO her mind won't
frighten away the gilded youth Of So
ciety, who usually shun a girl with the
reputation of brains. Fortunately, II a
girl has brains she does not bother about
the social fop. so as both are pleased
that is all we are concerned about. The
Meirs live in Germantown in the early
fall and spring and in winter in the
Weightman house at Eighteenth and
Walnut streets. Mrs. Meirs is a favorite
niece of her aunt, Mrs. Penfield, to whom
Mr.. weightman left the great bulk of his
fortune. predict delightful winter for
little Miss Meirs. for she has all that at.
tracts, a sweet nature, good looks and a
splendid education.
