He stl a time OF coming ana going,
isn't it? l used to think that no one
ever went South in the summer time, for.
getting that in the South there are noun
tains and springs and general coolnesses
as well as in the North. That is why
White Sulphur is so popular, is it not?
The greatest number Of people are down
there now and the war activities are
splendid. There was a lecture thisS week
IN French by NJ. Beaudoin de Beaumanoir,
81 France, in the Greenbrier, on the work
the American Committee for Devastated
France is accomplishing in that country
helping the French the peasant to re.
build his home and his land In the de.
stroyed regions. Official pictures were
shown to illustrate the rehabilitating work
4 being done. Madame Gabrielle ellis, of
Paris. who is a noted opera singer. was
sarbed I'm the French colors and sang
ns:La Marseillaise' as it has seldom been
heard before i'm this country, arousing
the enthusiasm OF the entire assembly
to such a pitch that it was a small thing
Tor Mr.. Burr Mcintosh to auction off a
French embroidered luncheon cloth for the
cause for more than $1,000.
b. Each bidder being responsible for the
amount he bid alone. a S. bid was as
good as a 800 one. and the cloth was won
by Miss Virginia Smathers, of New York.
with a. IS bid. Miss Gwendolyn King, Of
New York, was in charge of the enter.
tainment, and acted as treasurer for the
evening. NJ. Beaumanoir will go to New
port and to Lenox to give other lectures
for the cause OF devastated France. Mr..
Burr Mcintosh will soon go to France to
work among Our boys over there.
I'm THURSDAY evening a subscription
bridge was given in the Greenbrier at
White Sulphur for the benefit of the per-
manent blind relief war fund, and Mrs.
Charles NJ. Strobel was in charge of the
y entertainment. There were more than
twenty tables and a generous subscription
was received for the fund. Prizes were
awarded by Mrs. Strobel and this affair
was as successful as the rest of the bene.
nts of the season. The war saving stamps
campaign also raised good results. and
during the summer $40 ,155 has been re.
ceived. The war stamps booths are open
IN the week.ends, and Mrs. Garrett B.
Wall. who is chairman of the committee,
expects to raise the additional $500 to
fulfil the quota here.
Mr.. and Mrs. Waldo Noble Hackett, of
this city, are down there. and Mr.. and
Mrs. Richard NJ. Cadwalader, Jr, have
zone to the Greenbrier for several weeks
stay.
THERE'S a great amount of excitement
= up in Newport this week, for the horse
show has been going on for three days,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. A mum
Der Of Philadelphians went up for it, you
know. OF course, the Wideners were
there already; Mrs. Clarence Dolan. Mrs.
William Disston, Miss W Margaret
Dunlap and Mrs. John B. Thayer. Sd, and
her grandmother. Mrs. Cassatt. Then from
Earragansett there were the Norrises, the
Randolphs and Mrs. Alexander Brown,
who has been staying up there for a couple
Of weeks. Constance Nauclain also went
up from here for the show and exhibited
some of her horses herself. Altogether
1t was a very gay and festive occasion.
CT. MARTINS CHURCH, is to be the
~ background for another wedding today.
when Miss Mary Montgomery and Ned
Halsey will be married there. The Mont.
gomerys have lived in Radnor most of
their lives and have always attended serv-
ice at the beautiful old church. And if l
am not mistaken Ned Halsey's father was
rector at Old st. Davids Church before
Doctor Lamb. The Rev. James Halsey, Of
Roxborough, Is a close relative of his, too.
and the officiating clergyman this after
noon will be his nephew. Mr.. Halsey and
william Montgomery, Jr, who is to be his
best man, have been lifelong friends, and
the marriage with Miss Montgomery is a
elimination of a friendship started in early
childhood. Every one admires Mary Mont
somery- an devery one likes Ned Halsey,
90 we may wish them every happiness.
r WONDER why she does not make up
her mind? Pretty soon I'll do it for
her If she doesn't. She's in love with him
and she does not know it. and she's keeping
the poor fellow on tenterhoows. How do
]. know? Well, l came across her reading
"a poetry one day this week. ] thought that
was rather telling, but when I saw the
book was turned upside down and she
did not know It then l KNEW. Don't
you agree with me-.
NANCY WYNNE.
