Ioyn at Chevy Chase. Every one who |
.a,,d secure leave pelted over to the
rsarby Country Club on one mad rush |
~ the tubs. Splashes and scrrbbings

Il. noor dears had not had tub bath for
4 days. After that, my Rookie friend
,.,s me. you should have seen the hot
.hocolate, mullins, toast and jam disap-
s,orp II is a drol thing, but they say
Nav can always spot those who have been
u lsaye at supper that night, for boiled
ootatoes, apples and sausages are not
vsry appetizing after goodies, and you
ean guess the rest
There have been great goings on in
sDne of the tents. In one last week a
readng took place, with Mrs Hume, Of
washington as the bride and Miss Wiley,
n Baltimore, as the bridegroom. A piece
Il mosouito netting did service as a veil,
and other members of the camp were
ushers, maids of honor, bridesmaids and
syery other kind of attendant.
One of our own Philadelphia girls had
4 longdistance phone call from Paul I
thfee days ago, and everybody in her (
tent was racing about trying to discover :
What his last name was. Then yesterday !
ahuge bunch of flowers came to another, a
md at least 25 rockies were aiding this
popular person" to write her thank ,

Great excitement was caused in the b
samp on Thursday because no one was
allowed to read one of the New York +
papers cause why; some one had given L
away the secret that measles had broken \
into camp and it had gotten into the New =
York papers, and Miss Poe had bought in
III the copies I guess they feared
panic Or some such excitement. Natalie
