YIN Ian DELHI. Maybe my lellSi .
JD are coming too often. but pray do
not destine them to the same fate
as I have been often told awaits a very
long letter addressed to a man, who al
lows them to rest in his pocket-for a
week.
Men pretend not to like gossip, but
between you and me they are laboring
under false pretenses-they take every bit
Of woman's talk with relish, and what
does it matter if we do talk about folks?
we don't feel or think unknd things, so
We don't speak them.
People are very interesting and in or
der to keep up with the spirit of the times
we just naturally have to know what
they are doing.
Have you been reading Her Side and
His" that is running in The Age-Her-
aid? Well, you must, as Zoe Beckley
who writes it is Mrs. A. L. F'ulenwider' S
sister 1 met her when she was visiting
Mrs Fulenwider several years ago and
she is a perfectly charming woman and
was so popular. She made quite a hit
and was belle of the BALI during her
stay.
She writes for one of the big New York
papers and is a great success. 1 heard
that she had married since 1 saw her and
to a splendid man on the same paper.
Now, if you haven't read them you
must get the very first one as they are
wonderfully clever and L am sure you
would be wild about them.
We all went up to the Athletic club a
few days ago to see the girls swim-and,
believe me, they can swim, too. I won't
tell you who Is the best swimmer, as
there are so many splendid ones.
There is Dorothy Johnson (Mrs. Sid
SMITH, who swims and dives wonder
fully; Ellen Percy (Mrs. Mat Murphy is
swimming fine, and 1 saw her take her
first dive and really 1 could hardly be-
lieve she had not had lots of practice.
You should see Beville Conner (Mrs.
Frank Nabers) climb up a tall ladder
and dive like high diver"
Mrs. Palmer Daugette (Ethel Irvin) is
a wonderful performer in the water and
Mrs A. g. Smith is also considered one
of the best swimmers Among others
seen swimming were Mary and Margaret
Munger, Mrs. Marley, Mrs. Leslie and
Mrs. Houston.
I understand that each day the pool
is filled with young women who enjoy
the early morning swim.
Louise Neville's engagement was an
nounced today to Joe Wier. I have
made public today. Joe Wier is not
the same family who formerly lived
across from the Nevilles in the Thomp-
son house. I was sure you would think
they were, as I did.
You know Neil Neville. You remember
you met him in Tuscaloosa one year ago.
Well, Louise Is his sister. The Nevilles
came to Birmingham six or eight years
ago and Louise, in fact, the whole fam
lily, have made many friends
hear the wedding will be at home and
quite big affair.
Mrs. Graham's party Friday was lovely,
and SO thoroughly informal-no receiving
line. There were about 50 Of Mrs. Gun
nels' and Mrs. Graham's friends invited
in for cup of tea and to tell Mrs. Gun
nells good-by.
l am sorry that you missed The Age
Herald OF today, as the pictures were
just lovely, and the Rotogravure pic

love to see.

was a picture of Julia Nuzum of Tusca-

centennial held there. You remember we
