aelphia for a few days, have gone back to
Newport and will remain until the virtual
finish Of the season. 1 hear that Mrs.
polan has come down to Rosemont for a
. short while. 1t would not surprise me to
hear that she would shortly sail for Europe

TyHE George Fales Bakers are in New
- York for few days. and then they will
leave for a perfectly wonderful trip
through the Adirondacks, which will last
Tor several weeks. Mrs. Baker has been
working very hard for the Red Cross
during the summer. She is chairman OF
the Navy Auxiliary of the Independence
Square Auxiliary and Is indefatigaole
about making her end Of the work Of that
Auxiliary as successful as the whole.

many arrangements to bring about the
success Of her work. .'-..
There are numbers Of people in the

AVA taken a cottage in Narragansett for
the remainder Of the season. She was on
her way home to Bryn Mawr and intended
stopping with her two children at Mrs.
eamuel's for short visit. The children,
katharine and Charles Snowden, were at
camp. and when Mrs Converse went for
them they had contracted whooping cough,
and so instead of visiting Mrs. Samuel
(who, by the way, was a sister Of Mrs.
Converses first husband), she has taken a
house in Narragansett herself and her
mother, Mrs. William B. Churchman, has
gone down from York Harbor to stay with
her.
