MERE you surprised to hear that Nancy

married today? l was, in way, But
goodness, it's foolish to be surprised at
any little thing like a wedding these
days, when 1t is more usual to be married
after day or more's decision than it is
to decide on the date several months ahead
as in the old days.
Nancy is the daughter Of the Gustavus
wynne Cooks and a granddaughter of the
date Mr.. Richard Y. Cook She is lovely
Hooking girl; has fair brown hair and soft
large eyes and such a pretty, gentle man.
ner. She is the elder of the two girls,
Emley being about two years younger. She
made her debut in the fall Of 1916, the sea
son in which the war was declared, and her
engagement to Alfred Putnam was an.
nounced late last summer or early fall.
Her mother, who is a most attractive
woman, was Miss Mamie Bright.

street, and is a nephew of Mr.. Charle>Iagne

noon at Wynnemere, the Cooks place, in
Lansdowne.
ANOTHER wedding which will take place
"A in the near future is that OF Miss
Frances Allison. She is the daughter OF
Mrs. Francis Allison and a sister Of Cassie
and Molly Allison. With those names you
,now to whom sne is related, don't you?
For nearly every branch of the Dixon

Mrs. Allison was Miss Sophie Dixon and Is
a sister of Mrs. Arthur Emen Newbold,
Mrs. Russell Thayer, who was Molly Dixon;

I can't begin to mention all the relations.
They are too numerous to mention"
Edgar Curzon Poultney is the bridegroom
to-be and from all l konw and have heard
of Frances he is a pretty lucky man.
i has been staying with Pauline at the
wanamaker house in Jenkintown, will go
very soon to Newport and will spend the
summer there. as she did last year. Pauline
is planning to go up as soon as her small
son is old enough to travel. He is not
more than ten days old now, you know,
and it's pretty hot weather. ! will wager
that Pauline looks perfectly. sweet with
s-lx Ga
baby in her arms. She's mighty nne
woman, l think. And has a good lot or
common sense tucked into her pretty head.
ANOTHER bit of news I hear is that
"A Hoby Porter has gone overseas and
Abbie has returned home and will spend
the summer with her mother Mrs. Es'
monde Austin. Abbie was certainly an
awfully pretty bride. wasn't she? 1 can't
believe that It's nearly three months since
she was married. Hoby Porter is brother
of ANDY. you know, and of pretty Mrs.
Billie Clothier.

his little grandchildren that they love to
he around him. Yes, and he was so used

dear baby kisses little Sue would shower
upon him in the gladdest kind OF surprise
as soon as ever she saw him.
So he walked in, and there, coming down
the steps, was Sue herself! Well. was she
surprised or did she evince any signs OF
tumbling down the stairs to meet her
"par? Not at all. The small infant de-
scended the remainder of the steps without
haste. and walking over to him delivered
