NEXT week will be particularly quiet,
IN for even those who do not strictly
observe Holy Week are wont to spend
this season in quiet and resting in prep
aration for the gala days to come i'm
mediately after Easter.
1t has become very much the thing
now for the girls who attended st.
Mary's School. at Peekskill. to return
there for the week, not only the debu-
tantes, but many of the girls who have
been out for several years. Alva Ser
geant has made 1t a custom and
Gretchen and Mary Alice Clay also go.
Some of the debutantes who were pupils
there last year and who have consid-
cred going up for Holy Week are Bes-
sic Downs, Helene Martin and Sarah
Nelson. They make sort of retreat.
you know, for st. Mary's is an Angll-
can school taught by Anglican sisters.
Every one is Interested in Emily Sink
ler's marriage to Nicholas Roosevelt,
(which will be an event today at the
SinlSlers' homo, Belvidere Plantation,
at Eutawville, S. c.
Both Emily and her sister, Caroline
Sinkler, are we'll known here socially,
as they have often visited their aunt,
Mrs Charles Brinton Coke, and she
and Ecltley have entertained for them
on various occasions In fact, so they
tell me, II was while visiting here that
the bride of today met Mr.. Roosevelt,
who, by the way, is q cousin of Teddy's,
and has been living in this city for sew
eral years. OF course the Coxes have
gone down to the wedding and some of
the Snklers. Elsie Sinkler and Emily
Read Fox are to be bridesmaids. to-
gether with Henrietta Kollock and Har-
riet williams, OF Charleston. Odd that
both bridesmaids names from Phlladel-
phia begin with an e and the two from
Charleston with II.
Caroline Sinkler will be the maid of
honor. 1t isn't to be church wedding
as the house is so suited for an affair
of the kind. and then it will be so sum-
merry and wonderful out on the grounds.
General Charles +. G.. Sinkler, her
father, will give her In marriage, of
course. 1t is gratifying to know that
another delightful Southern woman will
be added to the elite of Philadelphia,
and one who is already known and, as
is the rest of the Sinkler family here.
much liked
Because really, do not know of any
family of men and girls so universally
popular as the Sinklers. Deas married
Emmy Rhodes, you know, and Whar
tons wife was Louise Elkins, then
Frank married Mildred Pearce, and
aren't Jack and Charlie asked to every
thing going on, as are Julia and Elsie?
Their father, the late Doctor Sinkler,
was one OF the best loved doctors in the
city.
