MRS. FRANCIS DOUGHERTY of ST.
AVA Martins, and her daughter Gertrude
are going to Cape May this week for the
rest of the season. Graham Dougherty
is in the First City Troop now and re.
ports every day at the armory. 1t must
be relief to the mothers who have sons
in the First City Troop to hear that the
cavalry is going to be kept as reserve
force, although | guess the members of
the Troop are not so keen about the idea.
Did you hear that John Fell lost his uni
form the other day? II was in his suit
case, and he left the suitcase in his car
when he went into the Racquet Club, and
when he came out both had disappeared
| wonder whether the thief took the hint
and enlisted when he found what was in
the bag? incidentally, John must have two
uniforms, or else he'd have to pay a fine
and be imprisoned for leaving it in the
car.

r SEE that Henry Hatfield has an
l. nounced that the st. Anthony Cub
dinner is to be given up this year on
account of the war. So many Of the Delta
Psi men are in or enlsting in the Army,
Navy, Aviation Corps and everything else
that there would be just about enough OF
them left to fill one small table. So with
the generosity peculiar to America at this
time they have decided not to feel cocky
about saving that much money, but to
spend it anyhow and give it to the Red
Cross. Some Of the members of Delta
Psi are George Brooke, Sd, who has Just
nublished his book on the encampment
Of the First City Troop in Mexico
last summer; Jack HollingsWorth. Ed
Thayer, brother of any number of other
Thevers in Chestnut Hill; Ted Madeira,
