nuse
rhsrs are to be all sorts of excite
ssnts IN the way OF novelties. Alasl how
vr,,,,.ed Is that word when used in con-
~.,,,on with a lawn fete, for the ingeni-
..,s mind seems TO have reached its limit
!, the score OF anything new In that
rre----there amt no such animal" How.
ever, these AFFAIRS are always fun, and
van nee all your friends and you talk and
ro~xip and have a gay time generally;
Ana besides, Il boosts the get-together
4 su,rit of the nation, so TO speak. so let
u an help on the good work, say I.
One OF the very clever hits OF the aft

Barnard shaw's Press Cuttings" by a
picked number OF amateurs, among whom
are Margaret Bradway. Jane Nisbett. Mrs.
g. Nisbett Mitchell, Stewart Clarke, A.
N. Kerrigan, Jr., and Maurice du Marais.
The latter. by the way, made a great hit
I hst year In the French version of Tho
4 Man who Married a Dumb WIFE" I am
quite looking forward TO this produc-
! ton, / assure you.
The teas are coming thick and fast now.
and this afternoon the goal Of society will
hs Chestnut Hill, where Mr.. and Mrs.
Edgar Wright Baird will introduce their
dsnghter, Gainor Baird, at Almost at
trxctive tea. Gainor Is very popular in
the younger set. She is tall and neither
very dark nor very fair. has rather light
brown hair and a very charming express
sion. Receiving with Gainor will be a
great many debs. and. do you know, It
aiways seems to me the larger the re-
eeiving party the more attractive the tea

The proverbial llttle-brother story has
been so run to the ground It seems hard
70 believe that there really are any
naughty little brothers around interfer-
Ing with sister and her best beau, but
mey do exist, alas and alack! as I heard
hst week, to the everlasting undolng of
sh sisters schemes. For sister and the
best beau had decided they would not
speak Of their little "affaire du occur" for
some time at home for private reasons
o. their own. Imagine their horror one
evening when, father and mother gone
70 the theater, younger sister of at a
party and small brother in bed, they had
seemed II expedient for the best beau TO
esil and were seated comfortably in a
secluded corner of the porch far. far
nom the madding crowd. saying sweet
nothinss TO each other. when suddenly a
smal pink'paJamaed figure appeared and
wee voice shouted "Oh, - oh, -!
On ---l You kissed her. I'm going to
pu mamma" What could they do2
mere was no bribing OF small brother,
uss he was too likely to tell any
nsw' ana II would have made matters
.sfss u. when he did tell. he said that
~ nad told him to keep quiet. Well.
ne end OF II all was they had to tell
nsner and mother before they meant 70.
seftunately all went well. and pretty soon
nsyh let me tell you. too. think.
