I'm going TO stop in again today and
then can tell you more about it,

orchestra. not its execution, mind you
it's a good little orchestra; but 1t whoops
too much. You see, part of the time YOU
could not even hear Caruso. and. after all,
you want to hear Caruso, and you want
to hear Amato. and they really have got
voices that should he heard. Whether it
IS the acoustic properties or whether they
do play too loud remains question in
my young mind.
Catherine Morris was there, looking
very sweet. in a frock of cerise tule; she
was entertained by her aunt, Mrs. ].
Bertram I.ippincott in her box. DIR. and
Mrs. Stout entertained in their box, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Rosengarten had
with them Joe and Mrs. Atterbury. Mr.. |
Atterburry. you know, is in France with
the engineers.
The Charles Custis Harrisons had a |
sailor boy in their box. 1t was like the |
Horse Show in Newport last year, sail
ors and marines, all in with the spiffy |
people, the only country in the world |
where there are spiny men among the |
sailors hence tho reason why they were
with spiffy people. Birds of feather,

YOUNG SAM CARPENTER is home |
L You know he went over To Franco |
last spring with the Norton-ITarjes Unit |
on ambulance duty. lie has certainly |
seen terrible things in his work at the |
front. He is home on leave with his |
mother and sisters at ~ South Twenty |
first street, for a few weeks and then |
is going back and into the aviation corps, |
He had thrilling trip home, was three |
weeks on the water The maneuvers of |
the steamers going and coming are very |
great these days, that the subs may be |
fooled. They fooled them this time, all |
right, and did not even sight one on the |
way over Sam says.
ND you know that Ellanor Long |
~ ctr
Sharp has been stationed at Little Rock, |
Ark. where he is an instructor at camp? |
Ellanor is with him and they expect |
to stay some time. In fact, heard they |
are building a bungalow near the camp |
and will share it with two other young |
officers and their wives.
THERE was much excitement out |
Waynewards recently, when the roof |
burned off the McCabe house on Lancas- |
ter avenue. Margaret Beylard was stay |
Ing there, and has had very bad attack |
OF tonsilitis. Indeed. when she was first |
taken i'll every one was very worried. for |
you know, she was so i'll in the spring |
and summer with pneumonia and was, in |
fact, still going around in a wheeled |
and relatives by announcing her engage |
ment to Harry and marrying in few |
days. When I say going round in a |
wheeled chair" am afraid that gives a |
DIT of wrong impression, for she was |
able to walk of course, but her illness |
mad left her very weak, so when she re- |
covered and went down TO Cape May |
she used a wheeled chair to so down to |
the beach. She is certainly stunning |
looking girl. Mrs. McCabe broke her arm |
curing the fire, they tell me, but is re-
covering nicely.
