NANCY WYNNE IS INTERESTED
IN VARIOUS OUTDOOR SPORTS
Delightful Informal Affairs Are Given Every Sunday by
Special Members of Society During Early Summer.
ss Tennis Golf and Informal Luncheons

"A MOST delightful way OF spending a
IA holiday has been chosen by a NUM-
Der Of the married set who live out on
the Main Line. They meet on Sundays
at the various houses, have an informal
luncheon and play tennis or golf as the
wish may be. The Barklie Henrys will
be hosts tomorrow at their home, Pine
Cottage, in Rosemont. Some Of the
members of this little sort of half
club are Mr.. and Mrs. j. Kearsley Mitch.
ell, Mr.. and Mrs. George McFadden, MIR.
and Mrs. Tom McKeany Mr.. and Mrs.
Ned Browning, Mr.. and Mrs Truxtun
Hare, Mr. and Mrs. Beau Thomson, MIR.
and Mrs. Ben Chew, Mr.. and Mrs. Bob
cassatt, Mrs. Betty Madeira, Captain and
Mrs Franklin McFadden and Major and
Mrs. John G. Groome. OF course, Cap.
tain McFadden will not be there tomor-
row, as he is already far on his way to
Texas at the head of the list City Troop
and Troop ID. For you know the I'd
City Troop has been ruthlessly shorn of
It's name and captain and placed under
the command Of Captain McFadden.
Then, too John Groome may not be there.
decided whether he ought to go with the
Troop of which he was so long captain, or
remain here as the head of the State con-
stabulary might be bound to do did
not notice him yesterday morning in the
crowd, but goodness knows might have
missed seeing my best friend in that
bunch of humanity which swept about
the platform Of the station at the B. &
o. at 6. m. I did see young John, or,
rather, Jack. Jack seems to me rather
unusual for so young man. A thinker,
! surmise, probably due to make his
mark in the world His mother was
Agnes Roberts and he has two sisters,
Mrs. Dal Dixon Jr., and Mrs. Thomp-
son, of New York. The former was
Agnes Groome and the latter Martha
Groome.
To return to the Sunday tennis and
golf parties, they are really great fun,
the various intlmates who enjoy them
tell me.
Well, you never can tell, but strange
and wonderful things do happen these
days and truth Is often stranger than
fiction. But you will scarcely believe
me when tell you that very soon we are
TO be startled with an engagement. And
the startling part is that the woman in
the case is nearly fifty and. stranger
ntill. has no means to speak of, while the
man is not yet So and is only well.to-do.
1t seems to be real case of love and,
yet again, it seems quite unthinkable to
my poor way of looking at things. How
can woman Of so many more years
experience respect the opinion of a man
so much younger, and if love is not
founded on respect, what have you? This
sounds pretty much of roast, but 1t is
not meant to be- I simply find 1t hard
to take in. Perhaps 1t will turn out very
we'll. don't think you will hear it for
several months, my dears, but when you
do. remember 1 told you first. Little
Nancy seems to be able to snoop on these
little things, all unconscious herself of
what she may come upon in her daily
wanderings. I'll tell you this much-the
woman in question lives not far from
Chestnut Hill. NANCY WYNNE.
